Chapter 2190: Tang Qing
When they went up, they heard Lin Tiance shout towards the direction of Lin Dong and Xiao Huang.
"Brother Dong, Brother Xiao..."
At this shout, Lin Dong and Xiao Huang also looked over there.
As for Huang Jinwen, Jin Yu, Zhang Yichen, the three of them froze. They were not foolish and realized from Lin Tiance's introduction that he brought Miss Tang Qing not to introduce her to them.
Instead, it was to introduce her to Xiao Huang and the man beside him.
At the moment, Lin Tiance, with Tang Qing, quickened his pace and headed towards Lin Dong and Xiao Huang.
Huang Jinwen, Jin Yu, Zhang Yichen, all looked at each other awkwardly.
"Not to introduce Miss Tang Qing to us, but to introduce her to Xiao Huang, Young Master Xiao and that Dong Lin," Huang Jinwen whispered awkwardly.
"Luckily we were slow, otherwise it would have been embarrassing." Jin Yu pretended to grab some fruit.
Zhang Yichen said, "After all, Young Master Xiao Huang is from the Hidden Clan. His face is much more valuable than us three."
"Yes, yes, yes."
The three of them all thought it was for Xiao Huang's face.
However, the next moment, they realized they were wrong.
With Tang Qing following Lin Tiance, they arrived in front of Xiao Huang and Lin Dong.
Tang Qing actually focused intently on Lin Dong first, completely ignoring Xiao Huang beside him.
Lin Dong, being stared at continuously by her, asked somewhat displeased, "Why are you staring at me? Is there a flower on my face?"
Tang Qing shook her head and said, "How could there be a flower on your face? I just want to see who managed to disfigure my brother's face and actually defeated him across different realms."
"Wow!" At those words, Huang Jinwen, Jin Yu, Zhang Yichen were all struck by thunderbolt-like surprise.
Huang Jinwen even said, "What? This person defeated Young Master Tang Que across realms? And even disfigured his face?"
Meanwhile, Jin Yu and Zhang Yichen were equally shocked.
In their eyes, Tang Qing was already a figure High Above. Tang Que was even more so, always an exceptional Tianjiao surpassing other martial artists.
However, now Tang Qing said this 'Dong Lin' defeated her brother across realms?
The three of them were somewhat out of touch with news; not being people from the Capital City nor members of the Hidden Clan, they had no rights to know what happened at the previous Qin Family banquet.
"Jinwen, didn't you say that Dong Lin was just a nobody, just some wealthy family descendant?" Jin Yu said in a somewhat reproachful tone.
If he'd known such strength earlier, he would have initiated to make contacts.
How could he end up like this now?
Huang Jinwen was full of regret and quickly moved closer to that side.
This kind of person was not someone he could afford to offend!
At this point, Tang Qing was still staring at Lin Dong, waiting for him to speak after asking that question.
Lin Dong asked, "What, girl, are you here to avenge your brother?"
Tang Qing pouted and said, "Do you speak without thinking? If my brother can't beat you, do you think I can beat you?"
"Do I dare to seek revenge on you? My brother may not mind being disfigured, but I do. If someone disfigured me, I'd rather die!"
Women care most about their appearance; damaging it is worse to them than killing them.
"Then what do you want?" Lin Dong asked, puzzled.
Since she didn't want revenge, why actively approach him?
"Of course, to get to know you," Tang Qing said and even proactively extended her hand, introducing herself.
"I am Tang Qing of the Tang Family, Tang Que is my biological brother. I'm twenty-three years old, a Martial Artist of Grandmaster First Stage, skilled in... poison."
"Of course, also skilled in detoxification. I can basically neutralize any poison in this world."
Lin Dong once again asked skeptically, "I disfigured your brother and caused your Tang Family to lose dignity, and you, the sister of Tang Que and a direct descendant of the Tang Family, come to be friends with me? I don't understand why."
Tang Qing replied earnestly, "After my brother returned to the Tang Sect, he said although you defeated him, you won with integrity. Moreover, he gained many insights from fighting you."
"So he doesn't hate you that much. Of course, not hating you doesn't mean he doesn't want to defeat you. He is currently in seclusion wholeheartedly researching our Tang Sect's Poison Technique. He hopes to defeat you next time on the same level."
"As for why I wish to be friends with you, it's because I've greatly admired my brother since childhood, and with you being able to defeat him, to be honest, I admire you too."
"Also, women naturally admire strength. And I am a woman..."
"You speak quite frankly," Lin Dong said.
"Enough with the nonsense, are you going to shake my hand or not? Or are you afraid I will poison you through the handshake?" Tang Qing's hand was still held out, having been held out for nearly a minute.
She was becoming impatient.
Lin Dong shrugged and replied, "Why wouldn't I dare? Even if there's poison on your hand, so what?"
With that, he extended his hand and shook hers.
At the moment their hands clasped together, Huang Jinwen, Jin Yu, and Zhang Yichen approached.
Huang Jinwen hurriedly said to Lin Dong:
"Young Master Dong Lin, my apologies for earlier."
"Earlier Young Master Dong introduced you to me, so let me reintroduce myself. I am Huang Jinwen, with Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist strength. My grandfather is Knife Emperor Huang Zhongtian. I..."
He wanted to say more but Lin Dong frowned and said:
"What does your name have to do with me?"
"I'm here to attend the Wedding, not to make friends. Even if I were making friends, don't you know your status? Your strength? Do you think you are worthy?"
Lin Dong straightforwardly spoke to him without courtesy.
This made him extremely awkward.
His face turned red in an instant, feeling so ashamed he wished he could find a hole to drill into.
So embarrassing!
Because these words were almost the same as what he said to Lin Dong earlier. Now Lin Dong returned it with sharper words.
This really slapped him in the face!
"I... I..." Huang Jinwen wanted to say more, but Lin Dong ignored him.
Instead, he looked at Tang Qing.
He noticed Tang Qing was still holding onto his hand.
So he reminded, "Miss Tang Qing, aren't you going to let go of my hand?"
"Could it be you really intend to poison me?"
"Haha..." Tang Qing had been lost in thought, and only realized she was still holding Lin Dong's hand after he reminded her.
She quickly let go and said, "Dong Lin, I like your character. Very frank like me!"
Lin Dong rolled his eyes at her, who said he's very frank like her.
At this time, Jin Yu and Zhang Yichen also wanted to introduce themselves.
They thought they hadn't offended this 'Dong Lin', so surely he wouldn't disrespect Young Master Lin, right?
Jin Yu quickly said, "Young Master Dong, I'm a distant relative of Young Master Lin, my name is Jin Yu. My grandfather is the Toad Poison King..."
Before he could finish, Lin Dong interrupted.
It was very clear he wasn't interested in befriending this Jin Yu.
"No need to introduce, even if you're Young Master Lin's son, I have no interest in making friends with you..."
Upon witnessing this, Jin Yu and Zhang Yichen both felt this person was too arrogant.
We are all Peak Ninth Stage Grandmaster descendants, with decent Martial Way potential. Huang Jinwen offended you, so you said he's not qualified to be your friend, that makes sense.
But us, we didn't offend you, does our identity not qualify us to be your friends?
And now, we're even bringing up Young Master Lin's name.
Even the Hidden Clan's Tianjiao wouldn't be so disrespectful to their face!
Do you really think you are more impressive than Young Master Lin?
