The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 967: Chapter 961: As If an Old Friend Arrives

Hearing his name being called, Lin Tian was surprised and turned around to follow the voice.

He saw a tall figure stepping towards him.

It was a girl with side-swept bangs, around seventeen or eighteen years old, with a round face and single eyelids. Her long, slender legs were quite eye-catching.

She was wearing a loose casual outfit, but it couldn’t hide her long legs in motion.

Behind the girl, there were four or five more young men and women walking over, chatting and laughing.

However, the girl didn’t wait for them; she quickly stepped towards Lin Tian, staring at him with a radiant smile and bright eyes.

”Brother Tian, it really is you! Why are you in the East Continent too!”

The girl ran up, looking excited and surprised, smiling at Lin Tian.

At first glance, Lin Tian found the girl familiar.

Now that she was closer, he was taken aback at first, then revealed a look of realization, as it was an old acquaintance. He chuckled and said, ”Your name is Zhu Yuqi! My sister’s classmate! What a coincidence to run into you here!”

After saying that, Lin Tian paused, then continued: ”I heard there’s a Martial Arts Conference in the East Continent, so I came to join in the fun. What about you? Are you here with classmates for fun, or did you get into a university here?”

”Hehe, Brother Tian still remembers me! And you guessed right! I got into East Sea Xizi Lake University! I heard there’s a National Martial Arts competition at Tianxiang Villa, so I came to watch the excitement!”

Zhu Yuqi was very happy to hear Lin Tian’s words, giggling as she spoke. Then she pulled over a girl with wavy hair tied in a ponytail from behind and said to her: ”Brother Tian, let me introduce you. Her name is Ai Liu, she’s my middle school classmate, and she also got into Xizi Lake University, so we’re traveling together in Jinling City!”

The girl named Ai Liu blinked her beautiful eyes, curiously sizing up Lin Tian, before greeting in a clear voice: ”Hello, Brother Tian, I’m Ai Liu!”

”Hello!”

Lin Tian nodded slightly in response.

The girl had delicate features and seemed a bit quiet.

But the sly and playful sparkle in her eyes didn’t escape Lin Tian’s notice.

He couldn’t help but smile to himself.

Meanwhile.

Behind Zhu Yuqi, there were two young men and one girl.

However, all three of them carried a somewhat arrogant demeanor.

They walked up, didn’t wait for Zhu Yuqi to speak, sized up Lin Tian, and all shook their heads disdainfully.

From a person’s dressing style and behavior, one can often tell their background and status.

Thus.

They all concluded that Lin Tian before them had no significant background!

”And this is another one of my high school classmates, Zhou Guoqing!”

Zhu Yuqi didn’t notice these details and proceeded to introduce the girl who came from behind to Lin Tian.

Following her were the two young men, the tall Yu Guangrui, and the clean and fair-looking Ding Shu, who wore a pair of black-framed glasses.

Whether it was Zhou Guoqing, Yu Guangrui, or Ding Shu, their families were all quite wealthy.

Almost all of them came from the top families in their hometown cities, where power and wealth were no burden.

Although they couldn’t compare to the powerful families in East Sea City, and even had a gap compared to average families there.

But in a forest without tigers, a monkey could be king!

In smaller cities, their families were already considered top-tier, living in dominance.

Thus.

When they were out, they retained that air of arrogance.

They didn’t think much of Lin Tian, whom Zhu Yuqi introduced.

The tall young man Yu Guangrui said to Zhu Yuqi: ”Yuqi, is he the brother of your high school classmate in Bin City? What’s his background?”

”Eh... Background? Brother Lin Tian’s family is from a small town under Bin City!”

Thanks to her interactions with Lin Xiaoqing, Zhu Yuqi naturally knew their home address and replied briskly: ”But Brother Lin Tian is amazing, he’s this year’s Southern Continent’s top scorer in Liberal Arts, that’s him! And he’s really good at basketball...”

Hearing this, Yu Guangrui and the others all changed their expressions and couldn’t help but reassess Lin Tian.

Meanwhile, Ai Liu, standing by, had her eyes shining with vibrant colors, her ardent gaze fixed on Lin Tian.

”Top scorer in the Southern Continent, that’s impressive!”

Ai Liu’s eyes widened, occasionally glancing at Lin Tian, secretly marveling, feeling an inexplicable urge rising in her heart.

However.

Yu Guangrui shook his head.

”Being the top scorer in the Southern Continent is impressive! But every year, many top scorers emerge, and only one or two truly succeed!”

Yu Guangrui looked at Lin Tian, first nodding affirmatively, then half reminding, half teaching him: ”But even if you succeed, you’d still be at the bottom, destined to work for others! Without a sufficient background, you’re still nothing. So, besides working hard, you must learn to get along with people and understand how to flatter!”

Zhou Guoqing and Ding Shu, standing by, nodded in agreement, believing that what Yu Guangrui said was very realistic.

But Zhu Yuqi and Ai Liu frowned, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

They were used to hearing such things from Yu Guangrui and others, owing to their family’s money and power, and they actually felt a bit repulsed, only they didn’t say it out loud.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xiaomeng’s pretty face had already turned displeased.

But before she could speak, Lin Tian maintained his usual expression as he said, ”Thanks for the reminder!”

”Hmm, not bad, at least you can listen!”

Yu Guangrui thought Lin Tian took his words to heart, his face looked even prouder, nodding with satisfaction as he continued: ”With your top scorer results from the Southern Continent, you should be going to university in Yanjing, right? My family happens to have a branch there, and after you graduate, considering Yuqi, I could let you into the company. After a few months of probation, with just a word from me, I could make you a company executive, with a monthly salary of tens of thousands, of course, you must demonstrate your talent...”

In a talkative spree, Yu Guangrui’s vanity and pride were even more gratified.

His words held a tone of charity and displayed his power and background.

”Yu Guangrui, how could you talk like that!”

Ai Liu tugged at Yu Guangrui’s hand, whispering.

While Zhou Xiaomeng frowned, her face a bit icy.

”It’s okay!”

Lin Tian smiled, too lazy to respond, then turned to Zhu Yuqi and said, ”We just arrived, planning to go in and rest a bit!”

”Oh, Brother Tian, you’ve reserved a room?”

Zhu Yuqi sighed with relief seeing that Lin Tian wasn’t angry, then followed the topic change. She glanced at Zhou Xiaomeng and asked, ”You’ve booked rooms? Is she your friend?”

”Yes, my friend, Zhou Xiaomeng! She has the same surname as your classmate Zhou Guoqing, maybe they were family hundreds of years ago. As for the reserved rooms...”

Lin Tian nodded with a smile, then looked at Zhou Xiaomeng, ”Xiaomeng, what about the reserved rooms here?”

”Yes, it’s the center rooms, numbers eight and nine!”

Zhou Xiaomeng nodded and said: ”Number nine is yours!”

Generally, in Huaxia, people are somewhat superstitious, believing the number nine to be the most auspicious and noble.

”Wait! How were numbers eight and nine reserved by you?”

But at this point, Zhou Guoqing suddenly spoke, frowning, ”Rooms eight and nine were all reserved by us, how did they become yours?”

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaomeng’s face couldn’t help but show confusion!
