The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 992: Chapter 986: Past Boastful Words

It’s better to cut off those thoughts?!

Jiang Shangkun, who was beside him, was a bit stunned after hanging up the phone and hearing Tang Yongnian’s words.

He only felt that there must be some previous entanglement between Lin Tian and the Tang Family.

Tang Yongnian’s words seemed to imply something.

And Tang Jiaying felt even more apologetic towards Lin Tian upon hearing this.

She naturally understood that what Uncle Tang Yongnian meant by cutting off those thoughts referred to the matter between Lin Tian and her cousin.

However, in this matter, she had no say, and recalling how she dragged Lin Tian to be a shield before, she felt somewhat embarrassed and said, ”Uncle, you should stop talking about this. It’s all in the past, right? Just perfect, I can hang out with Lin Tian a bit more and meet others...”

If it weren’t for Chu Cheen appearing outside earlier, Tang Jiaying would have wanted to talk to Zhang Suiyun.

Inside the banquet, although many of the young masters couldn’t match their Tang Family, they were all well-known and came from notable backgrounds. Meeting a few more wouldn’t be a bad thing.

All in the past?

This boy appearing here and claiming he didn’t deliberately approach them — absolutely not believable!

Tang Yongnian thought secretly but still nodded: ”Enough, engage with the young ones here more. We will go over there for a sit, and you can come over later. Afterwards, there will be a jewelry and antiques auction here, but it is merely for fun, not much to look at. When the time comes, I’ll take you upstairs to broaden your horizons!”

With that, Tang Yongnian and his wife had already walked away and sat on a staircase platform within the banquet hall, allegedly awaiting some auction to be held there.

Lin Tian wasn’t interested in Tang Yongnian’s words and could almost ignore them.

He turned to Jiang Shangkun and asked, ”Is the person here?”

”Will be here soon!”

Jiang Shangkun wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and replied quickly.

Tang Jiaying observed the actions of the two, but wisely chose not to interrupt, and instead said, ”Lin Tian, let’s go over there, I know many young masters from Jinling City! And those who can come are not ordinary people! For example, Zhen Zilan, she’s one of the top ten goddesses of Jinling City and is also an Ancient Martial Artist, taken as a disciple by a Grandmaster in Yanjing... Really enviable...”

Lin Tian followed Tang Jiaying, listening to her chatter incessantly.

She seemed quite familiar with the situation in Jinling City.

And Jiang Shangkun, following behind them, could only smile wryly all the way.

Tang Jiaying often visited Jinling City and had interacted with many people, especially with Zhang Suiyun, she met quite a lot of people.

As Lin Tian and Tang Jiaying went through the crowd, Lin Tian finally witnessed this seemingly carefree girl, who could maneuver gracefully among different people.

Most importantly, this young lady’s numerous acquaintances made Lin Tian rather astonished.

In the banquet, regardless of age, the backgrounds of everyone were prominent, and their statuses certainly weren’t inferior to someone like Huang Juun.

However.

Lin Tian wasn’t much interested in them, engaging only in superficial conversations as he and Tang Jiaying went over to Tang Yongnian’s side.

The auction here had already started, but the items were just mundane things, and Lin Tian couldn’t be bothered to watch.

Secretly, his Divine Sense constantly scanned and enveloped the entire Tahu Residence, yet he found not a trace of Zhou Xiaomeng.

Originally, Lin Tian planned to go upstairs directly but felt things weren’t that simple, or Zhou Xiaomeng might not be here at all, making it futile to go up.

Only waiting for Long Ziyuan to come.

If the worst comes, he might end up heading to Dragon Cry City!

Thinking about all sorts of things, murderous thoughts surged in Lin Tian’s heart.

Though not deeply acquainted with Zhou Xiaomeng, he had considered Zhou Li, her grandfather, one of his own for a long time. If Zhou Xiaomeng encountered trouble, it would be hard for him to set his mind at ease.

Previously, when Huang Juun got into trouble, he already felt quite self-blame!

Aside.

Tang Yongnian symbolically raised a few signs and bid on some items before stopping.

It was unclear whether he had seriously checked the items or didn’t pay any attention to what they were; this auction was merely a hobby for wealthy and elite individuals.

He turned to Lin Tian and said, ”Having fun? Although Ying’er is young, she knows a lot of people here, much better than Qianqian who spends her days cooped up at home! But Qianqian has her own advantages, especially now that she is sent abroad, much improving than before! Unfortunately, Ying’er is not cut out for Ancient Martial cultivation...”

”Uncle, it’s okay!”

Tang Jiaying smiled and shook her head, seemingly indifferent, but it’s evident her beautiful eyes held yearning.

In a super clan such as the Tang Family, both internal and external competition was immense.

In truth, Tang Jiaying was just one of the many outstanding juniors in the Tang Family.

And among those juniors, some had been taken as disciples by Martial Arts Experts, essentially gaining a competitive edge within the clan!

Lin Tian was surprised, saying to Tang Yongnian, ”So, Qianqian can cultivate Ancient Martial? But why study abroad then?”

”Cultivate Ancient Martial?”

Tang Yongnian shook his head with a smile, saying, ”Her studying abroad is merely for her to gain some experience, accompanied by a Martial Arts Grandmaster senior! I, Tang Yongnian, may not understand martial arts, but that doesn’t mean my Tang Family is just a mere business clan like me! As for what Qianqian is cultivating... you wouldn’t... understand!”

Don’t understand?

Lin Tian smiled faintly, somewhat guessing a part.

Offside.

Tang Jiaying saw Lin Tian’s silence, thinking Tang Yongnian’s words made him a bit dispirited.

She pondered slightly, then solemnly said to Lin Tian, ”Lin Tian... actually, my cousin already has a marriage! The person is Jian Wufeng from Xiangjiang Sword Family!”

Jian Wufeng!

Upon hearing this name, Lin Tian squinted his eyes, murderous thoughts filled his heart.

This name was too familiar!

Previously appearing in Liiu Yuan City’s Liiu Rong District, the Blood Blade Sect’s Third Elder Luo Cangyun and others wanted to capture Changsun Zihui and Changsun Shuzhen sisters, instigated by Jian Wufeng of Xiangjiang Sword Family!

Tang Qianqian’s fiancé was unexpectedly this person!!!

Lin Tian lightly furrowed his brow, his heart chilling.

This person attempting to capture Changsun Zihui and others was certainly not benign, and with Tang Qianqian falling into his hands, could it be any good?

But thinking of the ties between Tang Qianqian and himself, only due to Xu Tangge, Lin Tian secretly shook his head feeling reluctant to meddle.

However, Lin Tian was somewhat curious about the Sword Family: ”Is that Jian Wufeng very outstanding? Or, does the Sword Family have a significant background?”

”Outstanding?”

Tang Yongnian paused, shook his head toward Lin Tian, saying, ”Do you recall what you told me? You said you didn’t want to walk with those so-called prodigies, you said you could let heaven and earth dance and rise with the wind at your command! You also said all obstacles could be cut down with a sword! Back then, I even told you those days were different now! I regret saying those things because those words were just to persuade you back then! But some things, you simply cannot reach, like Ancient Martial, unless told by someone, you may only hear it as legend, and also... well, basically realms beyond your imagination!”

”In short, those grand ambitions you once had, now seem ridiculously laughable! Look at these people...”

As he spoke, Tang Yongnian pointed to the banquet hall and kindly advised Lin Tian, ”Jiang Shangkun, Zhang Suiyun, Mo Liuufeng, Tan Wuxiu... and the Young Master of Blood Saber Sect, Chu Cheen... which one is not a prominent genius of Huai Bei or even the entire East Continent? From the secular business world to the world of Ancient Martial, they are all top-notch... how do you feel you compare to them?”

”And to go further, do you know how these people compare to Jian Wufeng?”
