After the spiritual energy was restored: Goddess girlfriends came knocking.

The grand event was still in progress when a powerful aura descended from above the Wanlong Platform.

Before the person even arrived, the oppressive aura was already like a reversed Milky Way.

The entire Wanlongtai fell silent for a moment.

He was an old man with white hair and beard.

He wore a long purple-gold robe and had two horns on his head.

A Celestial Lord-level expert.

The old man landed beside the main platform, looked at Lin Chu, and smiled.

"We have a distinguished guest at this grand event, and it is we at Longyuan who have failed to provide adequate hospitality."

"Young friend Lin."

Lin Chu calmly stood up and bowed.

"Senior, you flatter me. I was just passing by. I heard that there was a grand event in Longyuan. My younger sister has never seen a dragon before, so I brought her to see it."

The old man glanced at Ji Ning, his gaze gentle, before returning to Lin Chu, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration.

"I met your father once."

"Young friend Lin truly lives up to his reputation as the youngest person in tens of thousands of years to comprehend the laws. Meeting him today, I can see he is indeed extraordinary."

The youngest person in tens of thousands of years to comprehend the laws?

Swish.

Countless eyes fell on Lin Chu.

Some people had been to Tianlan City and initially thought Lin Chu looked familiar.

Upon finally confirming it, he immediately covered his mouth.

"Lin Chu of the Taixu Lin Clan!"

"At the age of thirteen, he achieved Mahayana cultivation and comprehended the laws of swordsmanship..."

"My God, it was him!"

The news spread like wildfire among the audience.

The younger generation in Longyuan has fallen silent.

Including Cang Li.

No matter how talented they are, they are naturally inferior to this person in terms of both family background and talent.

They're still competing with their peers here, while that person is only thirteen years old and already on equal footing with their own grand elder.

Cang Li stood on the high platform, still smiling.

But his hand, hidden in his sleeve, slowly clenched.

In the past, only others looked up to him.

He didn't like this feeling.

But at this moment, he was clearly standing on a high place, while the boy was below the stage.

He felt a sense of awe and admiration.

Among the seats of the other three races, many people also sat up straight.

They exchanged glances, both puzzled.

Why would someone from the Lin family be here?

Lin Chuzheng exchanged pleasantries with the old man.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out on the other side.

He seemed to sense something and turned to look.

Surrounded by the people of the Ao clan, Ao Tianxin ascended the steps by water.

She wore a black long dress today, and her long hair was tied up with only a jade hairpin.

She was plain-faced, yet possessed a beauty that could topple empires.

As soon as she stepped onto Wanlongtai, her gaze pierced through the crowd and landed directly on Lin Chu.

Lin Chu also looked at her.

Eyes facing each other.

Ao Tianxin stood there, stunned, her eyes churning with a myriad of emotions.

I can't remember how many centuries ago it was.

She had a premonition before her ascension that this parting might be the last.

But she didn't stop.

She felt that there would always be a way after ascending to heaven, and that by standing higher, she could find more.

But the spirit world is too vast.

It was so big that you couldn't even see where you came from when you turned around.

until now.

……

Cang Li saw Ao Tianxin arrive.

A smile appeared on his face.

Just as he was about to go over, he took only one step and then froze in place.

Because he saw Ao Tianxin's gaze fall directly on Lin Chu.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

Cang Li's heart sank suddenly.

He abruptly stopped in his tracks.

Many people around noticed this scene.

Lin Chu smiled, ignored everyone, and in a flash, she was already on the stage.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, he walked up to Ao Tianxin.

"Tianxin, it's been a long time."

Ao Tianxin stared at him intently, a slight smile playing on her lips.

She stepped forward and, to Lin Chu's somewhat astonishment, cupped his face in her hands.

He kissed her.

The entire room fell silent.

The wind has stopped.

Lin Chu was stunned for a moment.

Immediately, his gaze softened, as if a vast ocean had melted into his eyes.

A few breaths later, the two parted ways.

Cang Li's expression finally gave way, turning extremely ugly.

The Ao people on the main stage were dumbfounded.

Then, ecstasy spread across his face.

If the occasion weren't so inappropriate, they probably would have already jumped up.

The other tribes on the stage had different expressions.

At the banquet, Ying Qian stroked his beard and smiled like an old fox.

The old immortal was also stunned.

But having lived for so many years, he's seen it all.

He glanced at Cang Li, whose face was pale, and sighed softly.

"Young man."

The audience erupted in chaos.

"The third young master of the Lin family and Ao Tianxin of the Ao clan?"

"Who is this Wu Tianxin? How could she possess such abilities!"

"Fool, all you know is eating, that's Ao Tianxin."

"What's their background?"

"Never mind their background, all I know is that the Ao Clan is about to rise again."

The murmurs from the audience rose like a tidal wave, growing louder and louder.

The area around Tianlan City is even more lively.

Qi Jun's eyes widened in disbelief: "Third Young Master was kissed! Third Young Master was actually kissed!"

"Keep your voice down!"

"The Third Young Master didn't push him away! He hugged him! He hugged him!"

"That's obvious, I saw it!"

"My goodness, this trip was totally worth it!"

Qi Jun clenched his fists, so excited he almost jumped up.

"I knew following Third Young Master would be a spectacle!"

Ji Ning was also stunned, her little mouth agape.

A flash of gold appeared deep in the depths of her eyes for a fleeting moment, then vanished quietly, so quickly that no one noticed.

She then smiled, covered her eyes with her small hands, and peeked through her fingers.

"Brother kissed in front of so many people, how embarrassing!"

It was only then that Ao Tianxin on the stage belatedly realized what was happening.

Her face flushed red instantly.

Lin Chu smiled, turned around, looked at the old immortal, and bowed again.

"My father once mentioned you, and I will definitely pay you a visit another day."

The old man smiled and looked at him meaningfully.

"It seems young friend Lin has other opportunities ahead of him. Let me give my regards to your father!"

Lin Chu nodded.

Then he looked at Cang Li.

Cang Li's expression was not good.

But he knew that he was now representing Longyuan's face.

He couldn't lose his composure in front of all the various forces.

Seeing Lin Chu looking over, he smiled again, cupped his hands in a proper bow to Lin Chu, his posture was impeccable.

"I have long admired Young Master Lin's name. My name is Cang Li."

Lin Chu glanced at him.

There was no deliberate attempt to make things difficult; he simply replied, "I've heard so much about you."

Then he turned around and looked at Ao Tianxin again.

"Shall we go for a walk together?"

Ao Tianxin nodded naturally.

She nodded to the old immortal.

The old man smiled and nodded.

Without looking at anyone else, she took Lin Chu's hand and walked off the stage with him.

Throughout the entire process, he didn't glance at Cang Li even once.

Cang Li stood there, the smile on his face lasting for a long time.

Only after Lin Chu and the others had disappeared into the distance did they slowly turn their gaze away.

His eyes were as dark as the deep sea.

Behind Cang Li, a young dragon's face was pale, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

He glanced cautiously at the elder in the main seat of his family.

He was met with a pair of cold, piercing eyes.

He shuddered, shrank back, and dared not look any further.
