You Like Leftovers

Tang Tian raised an eyebrow. On his first visit back to the Tang Family, it was already this lively. Did everyone know how to pick their dates?

A dignified figure in green appeared before the crowd.

The newcomer was not only handsome, but also possessed an indescribable air about him!

"High-level Bone-Forging Realm!"

When Tang Tian saw the young man's cultivation, his pupils involuntarily contracted.

They were the same age, yet this man's cultivation was even a notch higher than his cousin Tang Feng's. It was enough to show how outstanding his talent was.

Sigh, it seems I need to hurry and raise my cultivation...

This was the first thought that surfaced in Tang Tian's mind.

He could now fight a high-level Blood-Burning Realm cultivator, but against a Bone-Forging Realm expert, he would simply be dead beyond doubt.

"This junior, Lin Yichen, pays respects to Family Head Tang and Uncle Qin." The young man smiled faintly. Though he was polite, anyone could see the arrogance in his eyes.

From the way he addressed them, it was clear what Lin Yichen's attitude toward the two families was.

Before Tang Lingyun could speak, Qin Tiande had already laughed heartily. "Nephew Lin, may I ask what brings you here today?"

"Family Head Qin, this is the Tang Family, not the Qin Family. Are you not playing the guest while usurping the host's role?"

Tang Xiaohai snorted coldly. Since the two families had already fallen out, he had no intention of showing Qin Tiande a pleasant face.

"Uh..."

The smile on Qin Tiande's face instantly froze, leaving him somewhat awkward.

Tang Lingyun waved a hand, signaling Tang Xiaohai not to speak. He looked at Lin Yichen. "Nephew Lin, what business brings you to my Tang Family today?"

For Lin Yichen to choose this moment to come alone to the Tang Family, nothing good could come of it.

The relationship between the Tang Family and the Lin Family was known to everyone in Starfall City. They had always been at odds.

If neither side had been unable to do anything to the other, they would likely have long since pulled up the weeds by the roots and wiped out the other family.

Lin Yichen nodded, glanced at Tang Tian, and said, "This junior has two matters to attend to, which is why I have come to trouble Family Head Tang. I hope you will not take offense."

His words were courteous, yet even before an expert like Tang Lingyun, his bearing remained exceedingly arrogant.

"Speak freely."

As the Tang Family's head, Tang Lingyun naturally would not stoop to argue with a junior.

"Good!"

Lin Yichen nodded, then turned to Tang Tian and asked, "I heard that my third brother went to Starfall Forest with you?"

Tang Tian raised an eyebrow, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. He had not expected the other man to be here over this matter.

Lin Baoquan had deceived the original "Tang Tian" into going to the outskirts of Starfall Forest with him, intending to kill Tang Tian.

In truth, he had achieved his aim, though no one could have anticipated what happened afterward.

Lin Baoquan had long since vanished into ashes along with his lackeys, leaving no evidence behind.

Yet the Lin Family had never found any trace of him, while only Tang Tian had returned. Naturally, they would be suspicious.

Given the Tang Family's relationship with the Lin Family, it was truly baffling that a young master of the Lin Family would have been together with the Tang Family's useless young master.

If Tang Tian had truly died, the Lin Family would never have dared mention this matter.

No matter how useless Tang Tian was, he was still a young master of the Tang Family. Face was often more important than life itself, so this would certainly have sparked a war between the two great families.

But the truth was that Tang Tian had returned to Starfall City, while Lin Baoquan's whereabouts were unknown.

Tang Tian nodded without concealing anything. "I did indeed go to Starfall Forest with Lin Baoquan, but later we encountered a powerful demon beast and became separated."

"What demon beast?" After hearing Tang Tian's confirmation, a trace of killing intent flashed through Lin Yichen's eyes.

Tang Lingyun's expression changed drastically. Naturally, he could guess what consequences would follow from Lin Baoquan taking his son to Starfall Forest.

Fortunately, Tang Tian had returned safe and sound. Otherwise, he would have washed the Lin Family in blood!

Once Qin Tiande understood Lin Yichen's purpose, the smile returned to his face. Naturally, he was even more pleased to see the conflict between the Tang Family and Lin Family deepen.

He immediately added fuel to the flames. "Nephew Lin, could it be that you mean Tang Tian killed your younger brother?"

Those words were truly venomous. Who did not know Tang Tian was useless? Yet there would always be people willing to think in that direction.

Tang Tian glanced at Qin Tiande and sneered. "Family Head Qin truly thinks highly of this junior. Everyone knows I am a useless Meridian Refining Realm cultivator. How could I possibly lay hands on a young master of the Lin Family?"

He turned his gaze to Lin Yichen and said calmly, "At the time, Third Young Master Lin was leading a group of people who wanted to teach me a lesson. But then a Redblood Tiger with a powerful aura suddenly appeared. Everyone was frightened and fled in different directions. As for where Third Young Master Lin ran off to, I do not know."

"Redblood Tiger?"

Lin Yichen scrutinized Tang Tian carefully and felt that he did not seem to be lying.

Qin Tiande sneered. "Tang Tian, according to you, a Redblood Tiger with such a powerful aura would at least be a Bone-Forging Realm demon beast. A demon beast of that level would not appear near the outskirts of Starfall Forest. Why did Third Young Master Lin and the others vanish without a trace, while you alone returned perfectly fine?"

He had never regarded Tang Tian as worthy of notice before, but today Tang Tian had caused the Qin Family to lose all face. Naturally, he would not let Tang Tian off easily.

Tang Lingyun said coldly, "Brother Qin, is it appropriate for someone of your standing to say such things?"

"I was merely speaking the truth."

Qin Tiande was somewhat wary of Tang Lingyun, so he did not continue.

Inside the Tang Family estate, Lin Yichen naturally did not dare go too far. After pondering briefly, he said nothing more.

After all, no one would believe that a useless man could kill the Lin Family's Third Young Master.

In truth, Lin Baoquan had indeed not been killed by Tang Tian, but had died under the power of the mysterious Black Tower.

However, even if Tang Tian had not killed him, the Lin Family would certainly blame Lin Baoquan's death on him and seek to eliminate him as quickly as possible.

"The first matter has been clarified. As for the second matter, I will have to ask Uncle Qin for his guidance."

Lin Yichen glanced at Qin Yuexi before turning his eyes toward Qin Tiande.

Ever since Lin Yichen entered, Qin Yuexi had seemed absent-minded and flustered. It appeared that she had fallen in love with him at first sight.

Compared with Lin Yichen, Tang Tian was the same age, yet one was useless while the other was a genius. Anyone would prefer a genius.

Qin Tiande was startled. He had not expected there to be anything involving him.

He immediately nodded. "Nephew, please speak."

"This junior heard that Senior came to the Tang Family today to break off an engagement, and I presume it has already been dissolved. This junior has admired Sister Yuexi for a long time. My father sent me here to propose marriage. I wonder what Uncle Qin and Sister Yuexi think?"

A smile rested on Lin Yichen's lips, and he cut a graceful, refined figure.

Tang Tian's mouth twitched, and he could not help cursing inwardly, Damn, is he here to take over the mess, or to steal someone else's wall?

Whether Lin Yichen had truly admired Qin Yuexi for a long time, no one knew.

At least one thing was clear to everyone: once the Qin Family and Lin Family joined in marriage, the situation in Starfall City would become dangerous for the Tang Family.

Tang Lingyun and Tang Xiaohai exchanged glances, their expressions exceedingly grim. Lin Yichen had dared come to the Tang Family and propose marriage to the Qin Family right before the Tang Family's eyes. This was clearly a vicious slap across the Tang Family's face!

Qin Yuexi was overjoyed. She glanced shyly at Lin Yichen and hurriedly said, "Father, I am willing to accept this marriage!"

Qin Tiande laughed loudly, his laughter echoing through the hall. Just as he was about to speak, Tang Tian calmly said something first.

"Young Master Lin, do you like eating leftovers?"
