Chapter 994: Chapter 988: A Dominant Woman
Lin Tian! Mr. Lin!
Qiu Junnan secretly gasped, feeling both shocked and speechless.
The young man before him was a Martial Arts Venerable, a Young Master!
Yet he was turned away by Tang Yongnian!
If his daughter were to be with Lin Tian, the Tang Family would be even more powerful!
However.
Qiu Junnan looked at Lin Tian standing there with a calm expression and dared not speak, fearing he might say sothing wrong and offend soone!
Especially since Lin Tian, despite being rejected like this, was still standing on Tang Yongnian’s side, making Qiu Junnan find the situation even more intriguing, with thoughts racing in his mind.
But he quickly regained his composure and hurriedly said, “Mr. Tang, Mr. Lin, Miss Tang, Young Master Jiang… please co in!”
This ti, Qiu Junnan showed great humility, which made Tang Yongnian a bit puzzled.
But in the end, the two walked up together, chatting along the way.
The sixth floor was a step-style eting room, luxuriously equipped with top-notch facilities. In the center was a round table with many people already seated, opposing each other on both sides.
Those in the know would imdiately recognize that the people seated at the round table were the many bigwigs from Huainan and Huai Bei.
The atmosphere was sowhat tense.
However.
So seats were still empty, with the people yet to arrive.
Apart from the round table, the eting room had large sofas rising step by step on the sides, with so people sitting there, looking like they were waiting for a show.
However, the eting had not yet begun.
Lin Tian glanced around and saw Du Yuesheng, Shu Chenshi, Xiang Wenshan, Wang Hai, Wei Qu, and others present.
At that mont, they were conversing with other bigwigs, wearing relaxed smiles on their faces.
However, Shu Yi was not there, which surprised Lin Tian.
But it was also good that Shu Yi didn’t co, to avoid any unforeseen events; such occasions were not suitable for ordinary people.
When Tang Yongnian and Qiu Junnan appeared, many couldn’t help but turn their heads, and most of them stood up to greet and socialize.
“Mr. Tang, in this negotiation, you have to say a few words for our Huai Bei! Those from Huainan, like Du Yuesheng, are going too far!”
A group approached, with a Huai Bei bigwig speaking to Tang Yongnian with a stern face.
“Hmph, going too far? You should accept your loss!”
A Huainan bigwig said coldly, “Before the Ancient Martial competition, weren’t you all confident, saying you had geniuses that could crush us? Now that you’ve lost, you don’t want to admit it? Just wait and hand over the border territories!”
“Haha… everyone, you have to discuss this among yourselves. I’m just here to chat with old friends… since this is a bet, just treat it as a fun thing, negotiate well, and make concessions on both sides. After all, you’ll still be dealing with each other in this place in the future!”
Tang Yongnian laughed out loud, speaking ambiguously as if diating or practicing Taiji, staying neutral.
The people on both sides could see that Tang Yongnian was not siding with either, so they decided not to ntion it further.
After so greetings, Du Yuesheng, Shu Chenshi, Xiang Wenshan, and others ca over together.
They had already noticed Lin Tian and were surprised to see him with Tang Yongnian.
“Brother Tang!”
Several people ca forward, greeting Tang Yongnian politely.
But then, with Tang Yongnian looking bewildered, they all bowed to Lin Tian, calling out in unison, “Mr. Lin!”
Mr. Lin’s address left Tang Yongnian shocked, especially as the Martial Arts Grandmasters like Wang Hai behind him also bowed to Lin Tian, leaving him stunned.
“You… you’re a Martial Artist?”
Tang Yongnian, sowhat realizing sothing, looked at Lin Tian in astonishnt and asked.
“A Martial Artist? Let’s just say that!”
Lin Tian shook his head slightly and replied with a smile.
Tang Yongnian frowned, thinking quickly, and then said, “Who did you apprentice under?”
Du Yuesheng and the others across from him were taken aback by the question, and Wang Hai among them smiled wryly, shaking his head, “To teach soone like Mr. Lin, his master’s strength is undoubtedly imnse! That senior probably doesn’t want to be known, so why inquire, Mr. Tang?”
Upon hearing this, Tang Yongnian suddenly understood, looking at Lin Tian with a slightly different gaze, nodded, and said, “I was rude! No wonder you’re so confident! But it’s not enough; you have to work harder yourself!”
This comnt left Du Yuesheng and others puzzled, unable to comprehend.
Lin Tian, however, felt speechless, wondering when he had said he had a master here.
I do have a master, but they’re definitely not on Earth now, probably traveling sowhere deep in the universe!
Lin Tian couldn’t be bothered to explain further, letting them use their imagination.
As the eting was about to start, before leaving, Du Yuesheng respectfully said to Lin Tian, “Mr. Lin, your friend, Miss Zhou, is not here. We might need you to speak on her behalf later!”
Lin Tian nodded noncommittally, and Du Yuesheng and others left.
anwhile, Lin Tian noticed Zhang Suiyun appearing with a group, the figure at the front was a man who looked quite similar to him, looking imposing without anger.
“That’s Zhang Zifeng, the Family Head of Huai Bei’s top Zhang Family!”
Tang Yongnian seed to notice Lin Tian’s confusion and explained, saying, “I don’t know what level of Ancient Martial Cultivation you’ve reached, but it’s not enough; even Martial Arts Grandmasters can’t compare to Jian Wufeng! Of course, entering the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm at your age is impossible! So for now, you can only rely on your master to command respect from Du Yuesheng and others. This is not sustainable! Becoming strong yourself is what’s real!”
Hearing this, Qiu Junnan was speechless!
This young man before them was a Martial Arts Grandmaster!
Lin Tian chuckled nonchalantly and said, “Right, having your own strength, all Ghostly Spirits are illusions!”
And at this mont, the negotiation at the round table began.
Although so were still absent, most of the main bigwigs were present, and both sides began to argue intensely.
The Huai Bei side lost the previous competition bet but was unwilling to concede, essentially being unreasonable.
Lin Tian sat beside Tang Yongnian, waiting for Long Ziyuan and others to show up; otherwise, he would have gone directly to capture Long Ziyuan upon hearing the news that Zhou Xiaong was here.
Not seeing Zhou Xiaong now made him quite unhappy!
Bam!
A deafening sound erupted as an elder from Huai Bei slamd the table, sneering, “To hand over the border territories, no way! A bet is a bet, but Du Yuesheng, can you really swallow so much? If you swallow all the territories, we might as well start a war! It might end in separation…”
Upon hearing this, Du Yuesheng and others turned pale.
Huai Bei Province had always been much stronger than Huainan, and if a war really broke out, they certainly wouldn’t stand a chance.
“What bold words! Have all of you lower people beco spoiled, declaring war so easily?”
Suddenly, a sharp voice ca from outside as a woman dressed in a blue ancient fairy costu stepped in, her beautiful eyes cold and her words strong. She glared at the elder who had slamd the table earlier and shouted, “Say that again? Even if Chu Yebai were here, I, Shen Qingwan, would still twist your head off first!”
