Heaven Slaughtering Sword God - Chapter 16
Late at night.
Enforcer Nan Yang came to the Violet Bamboo Pavilion once again and invited Lin Jian to participate in the banquet.
Flames rose to the sky in the distance, dazzling and dazzling.
With that said, Xiao Sanzi agreed happily.
“Really …”
Tonight was the first time the various powers of the Greencloud City had received a group of Profound Spirit Sect envoys, and many people viewed this as a major event for the future. For the sake of this banquet, many preparations had been made, but this young master only cared about the food inside, so no one would believe him even if they found out.
Very quickly, the group of three arrived at the Immortal Assembling Pavilion’s door.
At this moment, the main gate was already filled with people from the various families of Greencloud City.
Most of these people were from a few small clans in the city, and many of them did not receive invitations, but in order to be on the Profound Spirit Sect’s list, they were aggressively fighting with the receptionist, hoping to gain the qualification to participate in the banquet or even spectate from the sidelines.
After all …
For these small families, anything that leaked out from the cracks of the Profound Spirit Sect envoys was enough for them to enjoy for their entire lives.
However, this banquet was held jointly by the City Lord’s Mansion and the three great clans. In order to prevent any accidents, the screening was extremely strict. Those without an invitation could not enter the banquet hall, unless they dared to be rough under the City Lord’s Mansion.
“Esteemed guest has arrived!”
The servant at the door received the invitation from Lin Jian and read it aloud: “Young Master Lin Jian has arrived!”
As the sound of his voice faded, it immediately drew the attention of everyone.
Some of them were not very well-informed, and only heard that Lin Jian’s position in the Lin Family was not very high. Now that they saw him walk into the Immortal Assembling Pavilion with the invitation card in his hand, they were suddenly confused, and those who were concerned about the Lin Family knew that Lin Jian had barged into the Road to Trial a few days ago, and as soon as the news spread, their expressions changed again.
It had to be known that this young master Lin Jian was a big shot on the topic. He had only rescinded his engagement with Gongsun Waner last month, and had stirred up a storm in the city, who knew that he would suddenly rise to the top. His cultivation had broken through, and he had became the Lin Family’s true elite disciple.
In the midst of his humiliation, that good-for-nothing youth had no choice but to break off the engagement with his beloved girl. But afterwards, he did not want to give up, so he worked hard and finally rose step by step, returning to the lady’s field of vision.
“There are so many scenes playing out here.”
When Lin Jian heard these rumors, he could not help but laugh at himself.
Following that, a servant walked up and revealed a gentle smile towards Lin Jian, and welcomed him with a hand gesture, leading the three of them into the banquet hall.
When he arrived at the main hall, all Lin Jian could see were all the well-known figures within the Greencloud City. Other than the patriarchs of the Greencloud City and the three great families, there were also representatives of the Void Merchant Guild, the Artifact Forging Association, the Pill Refining Association and the Talismanic Guild. These people were gathered in one place, like stars surrounding the moon, and were conversing with the few elders of the Profound Spirit Sect.
This was the core area of power.
Outside, there was a small circle formed by young people of various powers.
In this circle, the situation was basically the same. It was the people from the Greencloud City who were trying to please the young disciples from the Profound Spirit Sect, but compared to the elders from Profound Spirit Sect, these young disciples from big sects did not understand why they were being humble and low-key.
However, those young masters and young misses were still so happy that they used their hot faces to stick to the cold butts of the Mysterious Spirit Sect disciple s. They seemed to be extremely disrespectful to them, and only the top geniuses who came from the three great families and the city lord’s mansion maintained a modesty, such as Bai Luohan, Gongsun Waner and the others.
“How boring.”
Lin Jian only took a glance before shaking his head: “This is the reason why I didn’t want to come before.”
Upon hearing this, Deacon Nan Yang immediately laughed bitterly. Although he looked down on these flattering young masters and mistresses, they were all Profound Spirit Sect s! It was naturally very shameful to bow and kneel to ants, but if the target was a tiger, then in the eyes of others, it was nothing more than an ordinary sight.
When Lin Jian walked into the hall, many people noticed him.
Or perhaps …
It was because Gongsun Waner had noticed him that everyone else had seen Lin Jian.
“Hmph, this guy actually came as well.”
Gongsun Waner snorted hatefully in her heart.
Beside her, Bai Luohan had a carefree and relaxed expression, but when he followed Gongsun Waner’s gaze and noticed Lin Jian, his eyes flashed with killing intent.
He had always admired and pursued Gongsun Waner, and this was not a secret in the Greencloud City. In the past, he thought of Lin Jian as a thorn in his side because of the engagement between Lin Jian and him. But after the marriage agreement had been dissolved last month, Bai Luohan did not pay too much attention to Lin Jian, as he believed that the loser would never be able to turn the situation around.
But who would have thought that the toad would show signs of turning around recently … This made Bai Luohan unable to remain calm, after all, the enmity between the two of them had already been formed.
Just as he was thinking about what he should do to beat Lin Jian up again, someone in this small group had already directly opened their mouth for him.
“Sister Wan-Er, what is it?”
A young man who was dressed in a Profound Spirit Sect style robe asked with a smile.
“Senior Brother Yang Fan …”
Gongsun Waner came back to reality and smiled gently at the man: “It’s okay, I just saw an old friend.”
“Oh?”
Yang Fan raised his eyebrows, looked at Lin Jian, and said: “I wonder what kind of friend does Junior Sister Wan’er have?”
“This …” Gongsun Waner became bashful for a moment, and two patches of red flew up on her beautiful cheeks. She gently pinched the corners of her clothes, revealing a young girl’s bashful look, making everyone swallow their saliva.
Seeing her like that, Yang Fan frowned, there was something going on! But Gongsun Waner was not in a good position to speak, he did not need to force himself to ask, and turned his questioning gaze to the rest.
Immediately, a young master from a second rate aristocratic family went to Yang Fan’s ear and explained, “Senior brother Yang Fan, that person is called Lin Jian, he is the first young master of the Greencloud City Lin Family, and is also the former fiancé of Miss Gongsun. The two of them had an engagement before, but it was dissolved last month.”
After Yang Fan heard this, his frown deepened. Although he was relieved when he heard that the two of them were no longer engaged, but he was still unhappy.
Gongsun Waner looked bashful on the surface, but she was snorting in her heart. Through her short words just now, she had already provoked the conflict between Yang Fan and herself.
It wouldn’t be long before Yang Fan took the initiative to look for trouble with him.
And Yang Fan’s identity and background was not ordinary, he was the leader of the’s envoys and disciples generation, and it was said that he had many connections in the sect.
“Someone like Yang Fan, taking care of a small Lin Jian like you is as easy as stepping on an ant to death. This young miss wants to see, do you dare to ignore me in the future!”
Gongsun Waner hatefully thought.
As expected …
Yang Fan muttered to himself for a moment, then laughed lightly: “Since this Junior Brother Lin and Junior Wan’er have a good relationship, why not call him over and let us chat together. That person … You are also a member of the Lin Clan, right? Go get him. ” As he spoke, he cast his gaze towards a person.
The person he was looking at was called Lin Chen, Lin Zhenfeng’s eldest son, and also Lin Yan’s older brother. Although he was the Young Master of the Second Branch in name, because he was not favoured, his status was always low. He was extremely close to Bai Luohan outside, and almost became the Bai Family’s eldest son’s follower.
“Go ahead, I also want to have a good chat with Brother Lin.”
Bai Luohan gloated.
Hearing that, Lin Chen immediately smiled at Bai Luohan and Yang Fan, and when he turned around, his expression changed, the fawning look in his eyes had completely disappeared, he arrogantly walked towards Lin Jian and said: “Hey, trash, Brother Bai and Profound Spirit Sect’s Senior Brother Yang Fan wants you to go and talk!”
At this time, Lin Jian was eating a dessert with Xiao Sanzi. As the banquet had not officially started, there were no main dishes served.
“You called me?”
After hearing what Lin Chen said, Lin Jian’s brows twitched, as a trace of playfulness surfaced in his eyes. Trash? ”
“That’s right!” I’m calling you trash! ”
Lin Chen said with a fierce-looking face.
“Hur hur.”
Lin Jian smiled faintly, but he was neither angry nor annoyed, and said: “Forgive me for being blunt, but I really don’t know where you got the confidence from to call me trash. In the Lin Family, you are far inferior to Lin Yan, yet, Lin Yan had miserably defeated me a few days ago, so I don’t even have the face to leave my house right now.
According to this logic, I should be larger than Lin Yan, and Lin Yan is bigger than you. If I’m a trash, then what are you? Trash + 3? “
