On the birthday of Prime Minister Jiang, numerous nobles and wealthy families came to congratulate him.
In the eyes of these people, Jiang Wuchen's invitation to fight Lin Xiao was just a discussion between the younger generations. As elders, they naturally could not take action.
However, Jiang Qianyang secretly attacked Jiang Wuchen in order to let Jiang Wuchen win.
The majestic Prime Minister of Qin actually did such a thing for the sake of reputation and face.
From this we can judge how sinister and despicable this person is.
However, although Lin Xiao knew that Jiang Qianyang was the one responsible for the sneak attack, he could not directly rebuke him.
This is Jiang Mansion, and today is the birthday of Prime Minister Jiang. Everyone gathered here wants to please Jiang Qianyang.
If Lin Xiao rebuked Jiang Qianyang's sneak attack, who would believe it?
At that time, Jiang Qianyang criticized Lin Xiao and said that Lin Xiao was angry and slandered him. Lin Xiao would not end well at all and would be ridiculed and ridiculed.
Therefore, Lin Xiao now can only endure it!
"The birthday of Prime Minister Jiang is impressive. I am just a commoner. I don't dare to stay any longer, so I will leave here."
Lin Xiao's eyes were dull and cold, he turned around and said to Mo Fan: "Mo Fan, let's go."
After saying that, Lin Xiao walked out of the hall with no intention of staying. The other party had already reached this point. If he stayed, it would just be a waste of time.
"Leave in despair after losing. Where did all the pride and pride you felt just now go?" Jiang Wuchen thought he had defeated Lin Xiao, with a proud smile on his face.
"Be kind to others when you win them. Brother Jiang, why do you need to be as knowledgeable as him?" Liu Qing said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, without even looking at Lin Xiao.
Snap!
Lin Xiao's footsteps suddenly stopped, turned around, his eyes fell on Liu Qing, and said: "Do all members of the Liu family have this kind of virtue like yours?"
Liu Qing was stunned for a moment, wondering what Lin Xiao meant.
Lin Xiao grinned and added: "You are so cowardly and cowardly. In order to please others with words, you will not hesitate to act like a dog to others and abandon your dignity for nothing."
"Shut up!"
Liu Qing's face turned green after being scolded, and he rushed out of the hall with one step.
Just when he was about to take action, Lin Xiao slowly raised his head, and in his deep black eyes, a ray of cold light shone directly into Liu Qing's eyes.
At this moment, Liu Qing's steps stopped, the anger in his eyes dissipated into nothingness, and fear and fear spread crazily, until it filled his whole body.
As for why this happened, Liu Qing didn't know.
It seemed that this was his survival consciousness, telling him not to get closer to Lin Xiao, and to stay as far away as possible.
Lin Xiao glanced at Liu Qing, who was standing still, and smiled sarcastically: "He is indeed a waste."
After finishing his words, Jiang Wuchen in the hall had an ugly expression and said with a cold smile: "A defeated general dares to speak arrogant words here. I admire your shamelessness."
"Jiang Wuchen, that's enough!"
Xue Hanyan also walked out of the hall and stood beside Lin Xiao.
She stared at Jiang Wuchen with a cold look.
"A dignified, seven-foot-tall man actually asked a woman to protect him in the end. He is worthy of being a student of Tianji Palace. This was the case more than ten years ago, and it is still the case now."
Jiang Wuchen laughed loudly and once again mentioned what happened back then. His arrogant attitude made both Xue Hanyan and Mo Fan angry, and their eyes became extremely gloomy.
Lin Xiao still maintained a calm expression, and his mood was not affected by Jiang Wuchen's words.
I saw him turning around calmly, taking steps again, and blending into the night step by step.
"Jiang Wuchen, I will wait for you in the arena during the Academy Competition in one month. At that time, I will let you know how insignificant you really are."
An extremely frivolous voice came out of Lin Xiao's mouth, making the crowd's expressions extremely exciting.
They all looked around and saw the cool moonlight falling down, reflecting on the young man in black, leaving only a frivolous and unrestrained back.
Jiang Wuchen frowned, and the frivolous words left by Lin Xiao echoed in his mind.
One month later, there will be a big competition in the academy.
Lin Xiao was waiting for him in the ring, but he still wanted to let him know how insignificant he was?
"This person is so arrogant that he is a joke!"
"How stupid. He wants to lose a second time?"
"Only in terms of swordsmanship, he is far inferior to Young Master Jiang. If you include his cultivation level, he is even less of a match."
Voices came out one after another, all of them sarcastic. It seemed that Lin Xiao's words just now were just to save some face.
After all, in that battle just now, the two sides were just competing in swordsmanship, and Lin Xiao lost to Jiang Wuchen. If it were in a martial arts arena, Lin Xiao would have no chance of winning.
"Wuchen's Qianyang swordsmanship is not only perfect, but also innovative. He is worthy of being the son of Prime Minister Jiang." Gu Tian walked over and uttered words of praise.
"Compared to Commander Qingfeng, Wuchen is far behind." Jiang Qianyang said in greeting. After pondering for a moment, he changed his tone and said: "Brother Gu, regarding Lin Changyuan's matter..."
Of course Gu Tianxing knew what Jiang Qianyang was going to say. He shook his head and sighed: "There is still no news."
"but……"
Suddenly, Gu Tianxing narrowed his eyes slightly and replied: "According to my investigation, Lin Changyuan's son should have arrived in the imperial city. We must start with this person."
"Son of Lin Changyuan!"
A coldness flashed in Jiang Qianyang's eyes, but soon he put on a smile again and said: "Let's not talk about these things for now. After the birthday is over, you and I will talk about it in detail."
"Of course." Gu Tianxing nodded. When he came this time, birthday wishes were only the second priority. The most important thing was to track down Lin Xiao's whereabouts.
He must avenge Qingyang City!
After Lin Xiao left, the birthday party started again, and the crowd raised their glasses and laughed happily.
Many people even used Lin Xiao's defeat as a topic of conversation, and their words continued to make mocking noises that echoed throughout the Jiang Mansion.
Qin Xiyan sat in the corner, watching all this quietly, as if she did not belong here.
"This guy is so reckless, he actually challenged Jiang Wuchen directly." Qin Xiyan raised her head slightly, looking at the bright moon, a figure of a frivolous young man slowly emerged.
Then, a smile appeared on her beautiful face, and she murmured in a low voice: "However, compared to being reckless, he is more interesting and mysterious..."
At the same time, Lin Xiao was already on his way back to Jiangxing Academy.
The cool night breeze blew on his body, making his mind particularly clear.
Although today's actions were indeed a bit reckless, for which I was injured and ridiculed by others.
But as a reward, Lin Xiao also gained a deep understanding of Jiang Qianyang's city government and the attitudes of the Liu family and the Gu family.
"Being defeated in public, injured, and ridiculed by others is such a strange feeling. It has been hundreds of years ago. However, even after so long, it is still very unpleasant to experience it suddenly."
Lin Xiao raised his head and exhaled a deep breath. The depths of his eyes were filled with coldness and cold light.
