Chapter 2156: Chapter 2153: You Are Naive

"The first sword, the Hua Ying Sword, was the star of the last Sword Appreciation Conference, tied with the Sky Soaring Sword. It is an ancient famous sword, and its current owner is Xiao Manxue, a disciple of Qingshuang Pavilion," the dark-faced man announced loudly.

"Hey, Lao Hei, isn’t your information a bit outdated? Xiao Manxue has already been expelled from the sect. She’s no longer a disciple of Qingshuang Pavilion," someone responded from below, gaining agreement from many.

Lin Tian glanced at Miss and whispered, "Miss, don’t be angry, don’t care how they see it, just live well yourself."

Miss replied indifferently, "I’m not angry because I don’t care. As for you, it’s good if you don’t make me angry even once."

Lin Tian didn’t mind, smiling, "I can still make Miss angry, which means Miss cares about me, right?"

"You’re narcissistic, who cares about you." Miss rolled her eyes at him, refuting strictly, but her hurried tone seemed to indicate something.

"Expelled from the sect?" The dark-faced man sneered, looking at those who responded as if they were idiots, "Do you really believe that? The women of Qingshuang Pavilion protect their own fiercely; would they truly expel such an outstanding disciple? You’re so naive and adorable."

"Master Tang already announced it at the Sword Appreciation Conference. What do you have to say about that?" someone immediately retorted.

"Haha..." The dark-faced man sneered disdainfully, "You’re foolish too. Did Qingshuang Pavilion officially send out documents to all major families? Did Master Tang abolish Xiao Manxue’s sect skills?"

"No, right? The two most important things haven’t been done. What kind of expulsion is that? The so-called announcement was just to put on a show, giving everyone an excuse to step down. To put it in secular terms, although Xiao Manxue no longer has the disciple status of Qingshuang Pavilion, she’s still part of Qingshuang Pavilion."

"She hasn’t reached the Innate Realm, yet no one dares to seize the Hua Ying Sword because others are mindful of Qingshuang Pavilion," the dark-faced man concluded.

"Lao Hei, you haven’t said it all. People are not only concerned about Qingshuang Pavilion; they also fear Lin Tian by her side," someone loudly supplemented.

"Ah, this gentleman got it right. The second treasure I’m going to talk about comes from Lin Tian, the Heavenly Tribulation Sword, a new Divine Sword, but its reputation isn’t at all inferior to the others. That’s because Lin Tian fought Master Tang using the Heavenly Tribulation Sword, and it truly stirred the entire Ancient Martial World."

The dark-faced man was very excited, gesturing with his hands as if he had already immersed himself in that great battle.

When many people praised and admired Lin Tian, disciples of various major families showed mixed expressions, especially the female disciples of Qingshuang Pavilion, whose emotions were complex. On one hand, they marveled at Lin Tian’s strength; on the other, they were angry at Lin Tian’s disrespect toward their Pavilion Master.

The Wang Family felt simpler, being on good terms with Lin Tian, so they admired him greatly. As for the Situ family, the situation was completely opposite; they only felt envy and hatred. The Situ siblings’ faces looked very unpleasant, especially Situ Ruoling, who was on the verge of grinding her teeth.

Li Wenfeng wasn’t a family disciple, but his feelings were the same as those in the Situ family, especially suspecting Yuwen Luofei might have a relationship with Lin Tian, making his mood even worse at the moment.

"This devil, so hateful, constantly suppressing us," Situ Ruolin said fiercely.

"No matter how glorious he is, it has no use. He isn’t part of the family; ultimately, he’s just a flash in the pan. Only ancient martial families can endure through millennia, eternal and undying. Like this Ancient Martial Competition right now, he can’t participate," Situ Yufeng seemed to understand, becoming calm.

"But letting him shine like this, I’m annoyed too. I must curb his arrogance," Situ Ruoling couldn’t get over it. Of course, she couldn’t get over it; she was almost defiled by Lin Tian.

Situ Yufeng frowned, "What do you plan to do?"

"Brother, don’t worry. I won’t confront him head-on. I have my ways to embarrass him," Situ Ruoling said confidently, smiling.

After speaking, she leapt onto the stage, her movements quite graceful, drawing cheers from the ancient martial artists, and furthermore, she was a beauty, causing a stir among the audience.

"Old Tu, Lao Hei, come down and let the stage for the lady," the audience jeered below. The two weren’t annoyed, clasping their fists in a salute before stepping down.

Seeing Situ Ruoling on stage, Xiao Manxuan and several beauties all looked at Lin Tian with strange eyes. Xiao Manxuan spoke, "Lin Tian, I feel Situ Ruoling is coming for you."

As soon as the words fell, Situ Ruoling’s gaze swept over, full of provocation, and Xiao Manxuan was even more certain of her intuition.

Lin Tian, however, said carelessly, "No matter who she’s coming for, don’t pay attention to her."

"Ladies and gentlemen, the two of them just showed us a splendid scene, broadening our horizons..." Situ Ruoling, ultimately a family disciple, was skilled at delivering glossy remarks, winning favor from many.

Beauty itself is a type of capital, especially when it’s a beautiful Female Ancient Martial Artist.

"Does the lady also want to present a wonderful performance?" The dark-faced man shouted.

Situ Ruoling sought this effect precisely, attracting more attention. She drew a dagger from her waist and performed a blade dance for everyone. Though not very practical, it was pleasing to the eyes for onlookers, and everything else was secondary.

Moreover, people noticed the uniqueness of the dagger. The dagger was over a palm’s length, with the blade part thin and sharp. Even under sunlight, the blade didn’t reflect too much light.

Dagger is used for sneak attacks, assassinations, striking when least expected. Making the dagger bright and dazzling is a fool’s move.

Sharp, dark, easily hidden, Situ Ruoling’s dagger already possessed the qualities of a good dagger.

In Lin Tian’s eyes, this was indeed a good dagger. The best ancient daggers were the Fish Intestine Sword, which was famous along with the Zi Dian Qing Shuang, reaching the level of sect treasures. However, Situ Ruoling’s dagger didn’t quite qualify as a sect treasure.

Indeed, Situ Ruoling spoke, "Although this dagger isn’t a sect treasure, it’s not bad either. I wonder if anyone is willing to come up for a comparison."

Her gaze swept over everyone, but no one dared to respond. Some had stronger ability than her, but the competition here wasn’t about skill but weaponry. This was a full-on collision, and those with inferior weapons were reluctant to go up and embarrass themselves.

Situ Ruoling flashed a hint of satisfaction, which was the effect she desired, as her gaze finally landed on Lin Tian.

"Lin Tian, you are a new talent in the Ancient Martial World. Aren’t you going to make a show?" Situ Ruoling directly provoked.

Because Lin Tian and his companions were standing at the back, they hadn’t drawn much attention. Now that she spoke, the crowd stirred at once, quickly following Situ Ruoling’s gaze.

Some had participated in the Sword Appreciation Conference; upon seeing Lin Tian, they recognized him, especially with Miss there, who was also a "celebrity" at that conference.
