Chapter 1173 - Lin Tianjian
Lin Yueru had driven away the middle-aged woman, but that didn’t mean the situation was over. The next day, the Lin family and Sword Tower started getting restless because they both wanted to teach Lu Ping a lesson. Regardless of everything, Lin Xuan was a disciple of the Sword Tower.
Lu Ping had graduated from the Sword Pavilion and he didn’t belong to any faction. He seemed like a weak falling leaf that could be blown away by the wind. However, Lu Ping fortunately still had his master, Wu Ming, and Master Luo Cheng.
Master Luo Cheng, who was traveling to where the Wizard Clan’s banquet would be held, stated that if anyone attacked Lu Ping, they would become his enemy. Upon receiving that news, both the Sword Tower and Lin family became wary.
The Sword Tower had its own realm and didn’t care much about Master Luo Cheng, but the Lin family couldn’t do the same. Yet, the family also couldn’t just forget what had happened.
A discussion arose among the interested parties in Tian Hu Hostel. They were talking about Lu Ping and his master, Wu Ming. The Lin family had sent representatives, which did not include Lin Xuan’s parents because they would have likely ended up losing control of themselves. As for the Sword Tower, only Xia Yi who was present.
“They are still on the road,” Xia Yi said while facing their doubtful gazes.
“Let’s discuss it,” said a tall, upright middle-aged man representing the Lin family.
Lin Tianjian was wearing an icy expression. He seemed like an unsheathed sword that would give a deadly strike at any moment.
“I will keep you company anytime,” Lu Ping said.
“Were you confused by the previous words?” Lin Tianjian suddenly asked.
Lu Ping was taken aback. He didn’t know what the young man meant.
“The apex the swordsmen can reach is in the Sword Tower,” Lin Tianjian said. “Since your master left it, he won’t be able to make a comeback. You were unlucky enough to walk down the same road as him, so you will have the same fate.”
Lu Ping finally realized what he meant. He was referring to what Su Yu had just said. He didn’t take it seriously and asked, “Do you have anything else to say?”
“A heretical Sword Doctrine is the product of spoiling something through excessive enthusiasm,” Lin Tianjian said. “You will understand this matter clearly when you face my sword.”
“It seems like you Lin family members all have a common trait,” Lu Ping said. “Why don’t we fight now?”
Strangely enough, Lin Tianjian didn’t take the challenge and replied, “You shouldn’t seek death so anxiously. You should treasure the time you have left.”
According to what he said, he would attack as long as he was given a chance. Lu Ping had given him a chance, yet he wasn’t willing to take it.
He wants to kill me at the Wizard Clan’s banquet so he can preserve the Lin family’s prestige. What a wishful plan! Jiang Chen quickly realized what he planned. He couldn’t help but sneer to himself, Don’t blame me for my sword’s ruthlessness!
