The smiles on the faces of the people around them froze. They stared at Lin Xuan in utter shock.
Who is this kid? Daring to hold Bai Qianqian’s hand—does he have a death wish?
They had heard that the Bai Family was arranged to marry into the Qin Family. Bai Qianqian was to marry the young master of the Qin Family, Qin Xingchen.
Many people knew about this, but to their surprise, Bai Qianqian had brought another, unfamiliar man with her. And their relationship seed quite intimate.
This was just too unbelievable.
What does this an? Does Bai Qianqian not want to marry Qin Xingchen?
"Qianqian, who is this?" a woman asked confusedly.
Bai Qianqian smiled and said, "This is Young Master Lin, my Dao companion."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped.
"Damn, they’re really Dao companions!"
What is Bai Qianqian thinking? Why would she bring her Dao companion here? Is she trying to provoke Qin Xingchen?
"Let’s go sit over there." Bai Qianqian ignored everyone’s shocked expressions and pulled Lin Xuan toward the main hall.
The others stared at their backs, dumbfounded.
After a long mont, soone said, "It looks like Bai Qianqian doesn’t want to marry Qin Xingchen!"
Another woman rolled her eyes. "Obviously. Everyone knows Qin Xingchen is infamous. He’s a tyrant and a bully. Who would want to marry soone like that?"
"What’s this Young Master Lin’s background, anyway? How dare he co here?"
"He’s probably dood."
"Qin Xingchen is also coming to the gathering later. If they run into each other, it’s going to be quite a show."
Though Qin Xingchen was extrely arrogant and committed all sorts of evil, his talent and strength were top-notch. He was a second-grade Alchemy Master, and his cultivation had reached the peak of a two-star Martial General, just one step away from becoming a three-star Martial General. His combat power was very strong.
"I just checked this kid’s cultivation. He’s only a one-star Martial General."
"He’s no match for Qin Xingchen."
"Just watch. When Qin Xingchen gets here, that kid is going to et a miserable end."
As the crowd was busy gossiping, a black tiger barreled arrogantly through the streets of Celestial Fire City. Pedestrians on both sides of the road scrambled to get out of its way.
Soone exclaid, "Who is that? So arrogant!"
But another person said, "Shut up! Do you have a death wish? That’s the Netherworld Black Tiger, a powerful Exotic Beast."
"The only one who can ride it in Celestial Fire City is the young master of the Qin Family."
"Do you have a death wish, offending him?"
What? It was the young master of the Qin Family.
Upon hearing this, the faces of the others in the street changed dramatically. Although they were still angry, they no longer dared to say another word.
The Netherworld Black Tiger charged unimpeded until it finally neared the Green Willow Manor. Just as it was about to charge inside, it ca to a sudden halt.
A figure in a black robe jumped down from the tiger’s back. He eyed the inside of Green Willow Manor, a cocky smile playing on his lips.
This person was only eighteen or nineteen years old and very young, but his smile was wild and unrestrained. He straightened his robes and strode into Green Willow Manor.
The black-robed youth’s pace was incredibly fast, and he soon neared the main hall. Seeing the bustling crowd inside, he grinned again.
Your master has arrived.
The next mont, he stepped into the hall.
"Everyone, long ti no see! Hahahaha!"
He greeted the crowd with a laugh, but his gaze swept around, searching for soone. He was looking for Bai Qianqian. This was his future wife, after all.
Soon, he spotted her. Even among the many disciples from Noble Families, Bai Qianqian was exceptionally outstanding. She sat there in a long white dress, like a blooming lotus flower. Qin Xingchen saw her almost instantly.
Seeing that stunning face, Qin Xingchen’s heart began to race. To be honest, he had possessed countless won, but none had a pure, natural beauty like Bai Qianqian’s that could stir his heart.
Just as he was about to walk over and greet her, Qin Xingchen suddenly froze. He noticed another person beside Bai Qianqian—a strange young man. He didn’t recognize him, yet Bai Qianqian was intimately holding the man’s arm, laughing and chatting with him.
Qin Xingchen’s anger instantly flared, and his eyes turned red.
Bai Qianqian is my woman. And now she’s being intimate with another man! This is infuriating! Courting death! Unforgivable! No matter who this kid is, he’s a dead man!
He let out a cold snort, his Spiritual Power erupting from his body. Like an enraged tiger, he strode toward Bai Qianqian.
The disciples from the Noble Families were stunned by this scene. So were eager to watch the drama unfold. "This is going to be good."
Others were worried. "Qianqian, be careful." They wanted to warn her.
Bai Qianqian was happily chatting with Lin Xuan, and the two were having a wonderful ti. Lin Xuan had also overheard the surrounding conversations. They were discussing so of the recently famous geniuses, and that included him.
He could hear the people around them saying, "Have you heard? A top-tier genius has erged from Heavenly Dao Academy."
"I know! Apparently, he’s a ’Rookie King’ and even beca number one on the Junior Celestial Ranking."
"For real? Can a newcor really top the Celestial Ranking? That’s almost unheard of."
"He is a newcor, nad Lin Xuan, I think. It’s said he can easily defeat a peak two-star Martial General."
"Damn, that’s heaven-defying!"
The disciples from the Noble Families exclaid one after another. Even though they were also extraordinary geniuses, they seed rather plain and ordinary compared to the rumored Lin Xuan.
Just then, Lin Xuan heard soone from a distance shout, "Watch out!"
Lin Xuan turned his head in surprise. Bai Qianqian also turned to look.
They saw a young man in a black robe striding toward them, his face filled with rage. The young man’s gaze was cold and rciless, like a chilling winter wind. He was walking toward Bai Qianqian, but his gaze swept past her and locked onto Lin Xuan.
Feeling this stare, Lin Xuan also frowned.
Just as he was about to ask who this person was, the black-robed youth let out a cold shout and threw a punch at Lin Xuan.
With a slight sway of his body, Lin Xuan instantly dodged. The chair he had been sitting on was blasted to smithereens. With a loud CRASH, wood splinters flew everywhere.
Everyone around them cried out in shock.
Having dodged the punch, Lin Xuan frowned. He stared at the exceedingly arrogant black-robed youth, and a cold glint appeared in his own eyes.
To attack without a single word... how detestable.
When the surrounding crowd saw this, they all turned to look. They were stunned for a mont. Then, so began to show expressions of schadenfreude, and one even looked at Lin Xuan and said, "That kid is dead for sure."
"That’s for sure. He dared to steal the woman Young Master Qin has his eyes on. He’s going to et a miserable end."
Bai Qianqian shouted coldly, "Qin Xingchen, what is the aning of this? Why did you attack my companion?"
