"Marry... marry you? What kind of joke is this? You’re... you’re still a student!" Xiao Manxue was utterly shocked, then her face turned bright red with embarrassnt, making her speech sowhat stamring.
Lin Tian remained calm and serious as he said, "Miss, don’t you know? I’m already a prospective university student, and once school starts, I’ll be a formal university student. The national ban on university students getting married has long been lifted, aning that university students can marry and have children."
"Of course, I know that, but you..."
Xiao Manxue wanted to say sothing, but Lin Tian suddenly smiled and interrupted her: "I’m just teasing you, why is your face so red? Did you fall for ?"
"Only a fool would fall for you! You even dare to tease the boss, I’ll have my mom dock your salary and dividends." Xiao Manxue huffed angrily.
Lin Tian was unbothered and nodded, "Hmm, not bad. Getting angry ans you’re okay now."
Xiao Manxue was taken aback, then realized Lin Tian was trying to distract her from her low spirits. Her mouth moved as if to say thank you, but Lin Tian had already turned and walked out gracefully.
"Lin Tian, for the sake of Xuanxuan and , daring to face all the Ancient Martial Artists alone... This ti, let stand by your side. No matter what we encounter, even if my sect..." Xiao Manxue looked at Lin Tian’s back and secretly made up her mind.
Walking shoulder to shoulder, the two went down the loft. When they stepped out the door, everyone outside had been waiting for a long ti. Ling Zishan and the others were fine, and the girls from Qingshuang Pavilion were relatively calm, but the Situ family was already impatient.
As soon as they saw Lin Tian and Xiao Manxue walk out side by side, Situ Yufeng’s face had turned incredibly dark, especially since Xiao Manxue’s complexion was no longer pale, but rather returned to its usual rosy glow, even appearing radiant, as if sothing had nourished her in the loft.
And in the loft, it was just her and Lin Tian. The only one who could do the nourishing was Lin Tian. Thinking of so inappropriate scenes, Situ Yufeng’s eyes seed about to spit fire.
"Lin Tian, your dical skills sure made us anxious, keeping us waiting for over two hours!" Situ Yufeng stared at Lin Tian with a sarcastic tone.
"Judging by how Manxue’s blood and energy look good, it seems Lin Tian’s dical skills were effective. The Nine Needle Technique is indeed impressive." Lin Tian hadn’t spoken yet, but Wang Wanxi interjected for him, clearly rebutting Situ Yufeng’s words.
Xiao Manxue walked over to Master Tang and Tang Ziqing, bowing respectfully, "Master, teacher, Lin Tian has helped with Breath Control and aligning my True Qi, there’s no need for Master to worry."
"It’s good to recover. Ancient Martial Artists fear emotional fluctuations the most. On the day you entered the sect, Master told you about it. However, this issue is your Heart Demon, and it’s difficult to remove. It blocks you from advancing to the Innate. If you can defeat it, you will be able to advance to the Innate realm," Tang Ziqing said flatly.
But these calm words struck Xiao Manxue like a splashing of cold water, giving her a mont of clarity. She hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, for pointing it out. I will certainly overco the Heart Demon."
Although Lin Tian wasn’t an Ancient Martial Artist, he understood. The fact is, Miss’s skills already t the condition to advance to the Innate realm, but the matter concerning her sister beca her Heart Demon. As long as this Heart Demon is unresolved, she can’t fully strive toward the Innate state.
"A man and a woman alone in a room for two hours, claiming it was treatnt. Who knows if they did sothing inappropriate besides treatnt," Situ Ming could no longer hold back, even hating this harmonious scene, as it made the Situ family seem redundant, so he spoke with a thinly veiled sneer.
Lin Tian gave a cold laugh, stepping forward disdainfully, "Situ Ming, I wonder if your IQ is 250. Others don’t ntion it just to spare your Situ family from embarrassnt, and yet you just won’t stop nagging here. Are you afraid others won’t know about your Situ family’s awkwardness?"
"Hee hee..." Ling Shuiyao chuckled, saying amusingly, "Speaking of which, there was a man whose wife cheated on him, and this man went around cursing and blabbing about it to everyone, so everyone knew he had been cuckolded."
Situ Ming and Situ Yufeng’s faces both turned embarrassed, the two grown n equally irritated by a young girl’s words, especially considering the Situ family’s earlier actions.
"Shuiyao, don’t be rude!" Ling Zishan scolded, pretending sternness. Actually, she also felt Situ Ming’s handling was inappropriate, but due to her identity, she couldn’t say it outright. However, children still need to be taught a lesson.
Lin Tian also glared at the little girl, discontented, "What’s with your lousy taphor? Xiao Manxue and the Situ family have nothing to do with each other, where does the cuckolding co from? Besides, she and I have a pure male-female relationship."
"Hmph, I’m helping you, and you glare at ? I’m not talking to you." Ling Shuiyao turned her head, showing a very angry look.
"Lin Tian, you should watch your words. What do you an there’s no relation? Master Tang has already announced the engagent publicly. The next step is to present the betrothal gifts, followed by the wedding. Every step naturally falls into place, proceeding according to the rites. As an outsider, what right do you have to interfere," Situ Ming said righteously, holding onto the public announcent.
"Hehe..." Lin Tian chuckled lightly, then glanced around at everyone present, saying, "Whether I’m an outsider or not doesn’t matter. I have an important announcent to make."
"Since you know Little Xiao, I’ll give you a chance to speak. Just say what you have to, and then leave as soon as you’re done. You’re not welco here," Situ Ming said coldly, adopting a superior attitude.
"Alright, let’s hope you don’t regret giving this opportunity to speak." Lin Tian said, following his words, but his tone was disdainful. Once everyone’s attention was focused on him, Lin Tian loudly declared, "I announce that Xiao Manxue wants to call off the engagent!"
"Ah, that’s wrong. You haven’t even got engaged, so it shouldn’t be called calling off the engagent. I should say rejecting this marriage agreent instead," Lin Tian imdiately corrected himself.
"Rejecting the engagent?"
Everyone’s expressions imdiately beca brilliant. Wang Wanxi showed an expression as if having anticipated this outco, while Ling Zishan felt curious about who gave this young man such courage to speak like this in front of both Qingshuang Pavilion and the Situ family.
Instead, the little girl Ling Shuiyao, who had just said she wouldn’t talk to Lin Tian, now gave him a thumbs up, with a face full of support, eager to stir up trouble.
The three won from Qingshuang Pavilion simultaneously frowned, the Sword Servant, Miss’s master, including Master Tang, who had seed uninvolved from the beginning to the end, for the first ti showed a change of expression, and it was an expression that was unfavorable to Lin Tian.
"Hahaha..." Situ Yufeng suddenly laughed, then suddenly stopped, looking scornfully as he said, "What makes you think you have the right to make decisions for Manxue? I can tell you that the engagent was agreed to by Manxue herself. Manxue, tell him how you agreed to the Situ family’s offer in the first place!"
Everyone turned to Xiao Manxue, waiting for her answer. Indeed, only the person involved speaking would have credibility, and the Situ family could regain face and heavily slap Lin Tian in the face.
