The sound came from Luo Ling Shan’s hand.
He was clearly sensitive to this information.
His heart was already filled with rage, and the cup in his hand should have shattered.
He sensed his own loss of composure and gently released the cup.
It remained completely intact…
Chu Tian was curious and quietly investigated, and this observation shocked him immensely.
The entire cup had been vibrated into powder.
But it still maintained its previous state!
This eighth master of the Luo family, his strength was truly unfathomable.
At the same time, he disdained the old guy, how he could pretend! To demonstrate his loss of composure.
He actually used his qi to forcibly reshape the cup.
However, he wondered who was stronger, him or Old Madam Ma?
It was rumored that the Ma family’s individual strength could crush any other family, but due to their small population, they ranked second among the eight great families.
“I’m asking why he followed your Ma family here!”
Lin Wen Shan frowned, his voice becoming much louder.
This Ma Ling Ling was truly adept at evading the main issue.
Knowing exactly what he was asking, she deliberately pulled the conversation elsewhere.
Instantly, everyone’s attention was diverted elsewhere.
“He followed us in on his legs, what a strange person you are! Are you getting old and your eyes are failing?”
“Uh… cough cough cough…” After hearing Ma Ling Ling’s words, all the family heads nearly burst into laughter.
They struggled to hold it back, their lungs about to explode, and could only resort to coughing to demonstrate.
Not only did Ma Ling Ling not explain the reason, but she also fiercely retorted at Lin Wen Shan.
He was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged.
At this moment, he was nowhere near the calm and composed demeanor he had on the arena that morning.
“Ling Ling! It’s indeed not very appropriate for you to bring an outsider…”
From the Song family’s seating position, someone also spoke up.
“Scram, if I hear you call me Ling Ling again, I’ll cut out your tongue!” Ma De Ju’s aunt suddenly lashed out at this person.
The person touched his nose, his expression sheepish, and he swallowed the rest of his words.
Chu Tian looked at Ma Ling Ling with surprise, then glanced at the other person, thinking: These two… uh!
His gossipy heart began to stir, and he was about to ask Ma De Ju, who was standing next to him, if his aunt had something going on with that Song family head.
However, as he turned his head back and forth, he suddenly realized that the seating arrangement in the hall was not right.
When he entered earlier, he was too focused on making eye contact with Luo Ling Shan and hadn’t observed carefully.
In the hall, besides the central seat that resembled a dragon throne, there were four seats on each side below.
A total of eight seats, all of which were now occupied!
Earlier, he had thought there were only seven seats below, and the central seat was empty because the Luo family head had not yet appeared.
Now that he thought about it, something was amiss.
Based on the seating order, Chu Tian gained an understanding of the ranking of the eight great families.
According to the seating order, they were:
First: Kyoto Luo family.
Second: Northeast Ma family.
Third: Shaanxi Lin family.
Fourth: Penglai Song family.
Followed by: Hua, Qin, Shu, Qi, in that order!
Then… Chu Tian turned his gaze to the main seat, who should be sitting here?
Ma De Ju was standing beside him and naturally saw his expression.
Just as he leaned down to say something into his ear.
“Humph…” Suddenly, Luo Ling Shan snorted.
As if targeting Chu Tian, it caused his ears to hurt, and both ears felt as if they were filled with water.
Ding…
Old Madam Ma, who had been resting with her eyes closed, tapped her cane on the ground.
A clear metallic chime sounded.
Instantly, Chu Tian felt the oppressive feeling blocking his ears disappear.
“You damn old bastard… you dare to mess with me!”
As soon as Chu Tian recovered, he opened his mouth and cursed.
From being attacked to Old Madam Ma helping him out, it lasted less than a second.
Even before Old Madam Ma, after tapping her cane on the ground, had opened her mouth to speak, her words had not yet been uttered.
Chu Tian’s curse: Old bastard.
Had reached the ears of everyone in the hall.
“Uh…” Old Madam Ma’s words were all choked back.
“You!” Luo Ling Shan was so angry that he almost stood up.
However, due to his status, he did not rise.
Indeed, he had already lost face by playing a dirty trick and ambushing a junior.
However, he had used a soul attack.
This was his strong suit, but he never expected that this kid wouldn’t explode his head and die as he imagined.
Even more unexpectedly, Old Madam Ma’s power was so formidable, what was her realm?
By simply tapping her cane on the ground, the resulting air vibration could disperse his soul power.
At this moment, the killing intent in his eyes flared, and he stared at Chu Tian, wishing he could crush him on the spot.
It was a pity that he was standing behind Old Madam Ma, which forced him to endure.
“Haha… well said! You shameless scoundrel, at your age, to secretly attack a junior!”
Old Madam Ma’s words were choked back by Chu Tian’s sudden outburst.
Seeing Luo Ling Shan flustered now, she burst into laughter.
She dared to laugh, while the people from the other six families were holding back so hard their faces turned red.
“Giggle…” Some people couldn’t hold back and let out a laugh.
Chu Tian looked up and saw a little girl.
She was standing behind her seat in the Qin family’s section.
He happened to see a woman in front of her turn around and glare at the little girl.
She stifled her laughter, stuck out her tongue.
She looked up at Chu Tian, showing a sweet smile, and then made a funny face.
This… is Qin Yao?
The eighth-ranked in the literary competition, said to be the genius of the Qin family for this generation.
Unexpectedly, she was a girl of twelve or thirteen years old.
Chu Tian didn’t pay much attention to her, turning his gaze back to Luo Ling Shan.
To be honest, it wasn’t just Luo Ling Shan who wanted to kill Chu Tian.
He also wanted to kill that old guy.
According to Luo Jiu Ye, Luo Ling Feng’s narration.
Chu Tian judged that all the current actions of the Luo family were orchestrated by this old guy.
However, family marriages had always been their tradition.
This was also the misfortune of being daughters of the eight great families.
As for the benefits after marriage, Chu Tian didn’t know.
Before, he thought it was family business marriages in the outside world to integrate resources.
He didn’t expect that Luo Luo’s family was in the martial arts world, and moreover, a top family in the martial arts world.
What resources did they have to compete for?
“Since that’s the case, then our Luo family will first resolve our own grievances with this person!”
Luo Qing Yu, standing behind Luo Ling Shan, said this calmly.
His purpose was to help Luo Ling Shan out of his predicament.
Upon hearing Luo Qing Yu speak, Old Madam Ma closed her eyes and continued to rest,
as if she disdained to pay him any attention.
Chu Tian heard this and thought, here comes the main topic.
“Oh? What do you mean by your own grievances?”
Ma Ling Ling said this indifferently, but did not finish: “And who are you?”
“I am the head steward of the Luo family for this generation, Luo Qing Yu!”
His eyebrows furrowed, Ma Ling Ling’s question was full of meaning, but he still answered the question.
