The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 991: Chapter 985: It’s Best to Give Up Hope

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chu Cheen very gentlemanly extended his hand, his smile warm, and his gaze fervently fixed on Tang Jiaying.

Looking at the hand in front of her and feeling Chu Cheen’s burning gaze, Tang Jiaying felt uncomfortable all over and couldn’t help but frown.

Chu Cheen’s gaze was undeniably aggressive. The admiration and fondness she initially had for this young Ancient Martial Artist dissipated instantly.

However, in front of so many people, it wasn’t easy for Tang Jiaying to refuse outright.

She reluctantly forced a smile, lightly shook hands with Chu Cheen, then withdrew her hand and said, ”Tang Jiaying!”

”Tang Jiaying... Hmm, beautiful person, beautiful name!”

Chu Cheen praised her, then said with a smile, ”I’m Chu Cheen, from the Blood Saber Sect! Hmm, ordinary people in the mundane world probably haven’t heard of it. However, anyone who can come to Tahu Residence surely isn’t ordinary, so Miss Jaying must have heard of Ancient Martial Cultivators! My Blood Saber Sect is an Ancient Martial Sect! Can I invite Miss Jaying for a few drinks?”

”Sorry, I can’t!”

This time, Tang Jiaying directly shook her head and refused.

Her first impression of Chu Cheen wasn’t good, so she refused straightforwardly, unwilling to drag it out and end up offending him more.

Chu Cheen’s face froze, showing a bit of embarrassment.

The others present looked at each other in surprise but didn’t dare to speak, just silently watching.

On the side, Zhang Suiyun frowned, unsure how to speak up.

Having met Chu Cheen several times and knowing him somewhat, Zhang Suiyun acknowledged that his temper was generally acceptable.

But as an Ancient Martial Cultivator, he certainly had a temper and often wouldn’t tolerate being refused.

Now, with so many people watching, Tang Jiaying’s resolute refusal was bound to embarrass Chu Cheen.

This matter is rather tricky!

Chu Cheen’s face was unpleasant, but he eventually turned and forced a smile, saying, ”Miss Jaying, why not? If you don’t like alcohol, we can replace it with tea!”

”It’s not a matter of alcohol, it’s just that...”

Seeing Chu Cheen persistent, Tang Jiaying was helpless, and unable to find a reason, she turned her beautiful eyes, stood up, and hooked her arm around Lin Tian’s, saying to Chu Cheen, ”Sorry, my boyfriend is here, getting too close to other guys isn’t good!”

Lin Tian was instantly stupefied by Tang Jiaying’s sudden action, a bewildered look appeared on his face.

But he quickly regained his composure, his expression turned cold, eyes fierce, and he whispered, ”Do you think everyone can be your shield?”

Lin Tian’s gaze and the coldness in his voice made Tang Jiaying shudder, showing a look of fear.

In this urgent moment, she didn’t know what to do and could only implore bitterly, ”Sorry, Lin Tian, just help me this once! I’ll speak well of you to my cousin in the future!”

Lin Tian was speechless, considering how to refuse.

However, facing them, Chu Cheen watched the two whispering as if they were closely cuddled together, leading to a more unpleasant expression.

”Kid, you’re her boyfriend?”

Chu Cheen’s gaze fell on Lin Tian, questioning.

Planning to remove Tang Jiaying’s hand and outright reject her, Lin Tian heard Chu Cheen’s words and looked up coldly, saying, ”Whether I am or not has nothing to do with you!”

Everyone present was taken aback by these words.

It was rare to see someone speak to Chu Cheen so firmly!

Chu Cheen’s face was already as dark as water, and he sneered, ”Do you know who I am?”

”I have no interest in knowing who you are!”

Lin Tian shook his head, withdrew his gaze, and chose to ignore him.

Calculating the time, Lin Tian immediately stood up, and seeing this, Jiang Shangkun became anxious.

Now, Jiang Shangkun wished he could step forward and negotiate with Chu Cheen to explain the situation.

But, without knowing Lin Tian’s origins and background, if his background was even more terrifying than Chu Cheen’s, it could be a matter of life and death for himself.

Seeing Lin Tian rise, Tang Jiaying seemed to understand and immediately said to Chu Cheen, ”Sorry, we’re going inside! Please don’t disturb us!”

This time, Tang Jiaying’s words had a somewhat firm tone.

Saying this, Tang Jiaying led Lin Tian and Jiang Shangkun into Tahu Residence.

”From the Xiangjiang Tang Family?”

Chu Cheen watched the three leave, his face reaching its darkest point, as he asked Zhang Suiyun beside him.

”Yes! She is Tang Yongnian’s niece!”

Zhang Suiyun hesitated slightly, then replied.

Chu Cheen nodded with a grim expression, sneering, ”Having caught my eye, at least a night together should be expected!”

Hearing this, Zhang Suiyun’s expression changed, quickly leaning forward to whisper, ”Mr. Chu, you shouldn’t... Behind the Tang Family is...”

After a brief whisper, Chu Cheen’s expression changed drastically, a chill running down his back.

”Damn it... If it’s not possible, find a way to get rid of that kid...”

Spewing a curse, Chu Cheen turned and walked away, a fierce gleam flickering in his eyes.

...

”Sorry, it was just a moment of urgency...”

Walking into Tahu Residence’s restaurant, Tang Jiaying wore an apologetic expression, speaking to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian gave her a cold look, then turned to Jiang Shangkun, saying, ”My patience is limited!”

At present.

Lin Tian was most anxious about the whereabouts of Zhou Xiaomeng.

”Mr. Lin, I’ll call and ask!”

Jiang Shangkun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, responding urgently.

Immediately after, Jiang Shangkun took out his mobile phone, seemingly calling his father, Jiang Shuwan.

Watching their interaction, Tang Jiaying looked confused, sensing that Jiang Shangkun was excessively respectful towards Lin Tian and also seemed very afraid.

What’s going on? Could Lin Tian have another background?

Many thoughts flashed through Tang Jiaying’s mind, but she ultimately apologized to Lin Tian, saying, ”I’m really sorry! But, Chu Cheen won’t dare do anything to you, I’ll have my uncle warn him later! Being polite to him is just courtesy, and if he doesn’t know his place, my Tang Family isn’t to be trifled with. He doesn’t know who stands behind my Tang Family! How about I introduce you to some other young masters here later?”

At this moment.

Tang Jiaying began to feel a bit curious about Lin Tian.

She sensed that the young man before her wasn’t as the rumors and appearances suggested, but exuded a mysterious aura.

Lin Tian didn’t respond, but he was a bit surprised by Tang Jiaying’s mention of the power standing behind her.

Regarding the Xiangjiang Tang Family, he had heard about it while in Bin City. In Huaxia, it was one of the top-tier families.

However.

Many times, someone like Tang Qianqian, from a prominent family, may not be aware of certain things, which is also a protection for the younger generation of such families.

It seemed Tang Jiaying might know more than Tang Qianqian.

At this time, Tang Yongnian and his wife approached, holding wine glasses.

Judging by their appearance, they had just finished socializing with others.

Lin Tian scanned the room; in the banquet on the first floor of Tahu Residence, he didn’t see Du Yuesheng or any other Martial Arts Grandmasters. They were probably upstairs.

At that level, besides people like Tang Yongnian, most others here probably couldn’t reach.

”Did you have a pleasant chat outside?”

Tang Yongnian approached, smiling and initiating the conversation, not noticing the odd expressions of the others, then said to Lin Tian, ”Here, those around your age, whether in personal ability or background, are all top-tier. Now you should understand where your gap lies! Most of the young successors here, there are hardly any who could match her. Therefore, some things, if you’re not from the same world, it’s best to give up the thought!”
