Chen Yiqing left the private room and went downstairs to greet the classmates who came later. However, the ten or so people present all showed disdainful expressions when thinking about those classmates coming later. Many of the people in the private room’s every move naturally couldn’t escape Lin Tian’s eyes. He immediately smiled and said to Ling Xiaowu, "I suppose in your class, only you dozen or so have the best family backgrounds!" "Mr. Lin, you noticed!" Lee Du, sitting nearby, leaned forward and whispered to Lin Tian, "Whether it’s Chen Yiqing or a few others, they’re not the children of wealthy businessmen, but descendants of officials. Especially Young Master Lu and Ye Jun, or Chen Yiqing; in Jinling City, their families can all squeeze into the first tier. While there’s still some gap from the most elite Great Clans, in this Jinling City area, they can already say quite authoritative and decisive words!" Lin Tian nodded in surprise and inevitably glanced at Lu Wang beside him and Ye Jun sitting across. "As for me, Xiaowu, and a few others, although we’re better off than many, we are far inferior to Young Master Lu and others!" Finally, Lee Du added a bitter smile to Lin Tian. Opposite, Ye Jun suddenly looked up and glanced this way at Lin Tian. "Mr. Lin? Not many can make Lee Du and them address you this way!" Ye Jun examined Lin Tian with curiosity and said, "This friend, where are you from? Seems like you’re doing well!" "I’m from Southern Continent Bin City! Lin Bei!" Lin Tian stated calmly and directly said, "As for doing well, not quite. I’m not that involved! It’s just that I saved Lee Du and the others once before, and they casually call me this. As for the incident, you can ask them later!" "Southern Continent?" In the private room, many people were stunned and then couldn’t help but exchange glances, showing various disdainful and sneering expressions. "Snort~ Southern Continent! That place where not even birds defecate, compared to our East Continent, it’s like Barbaric Land versus modern civilization. Young Master Lin... laughable!" Opposite, someone sneered, showing disdain on their face towards Lin Tian. And Ye Jun shook his head, no longer paying attention to Lin Tian, agreeing completely with the words of others around him. As for Ling Xiaowu and others’ attitude, he only thought it was due to Lin Tian saving them, and out of gratitude, they called him that. Chen Yiqing returned. This time, she brought nearly thirty people with her. Compared to the previous dozen, no matter in appearance or demeanor, they paled in comparison. Especially in attitude, many showed some submissiveness towards Chen Yiqing, Ye Jun, Lu Wang, and others. It’s understandable, given the stark reality due to their backgrounds and family status that many had to bow their heads. After entering, towards Lu Wang, Ye Jun, and others, they all greeted warmly, asked how they were doing, showing respectful, and even flattering attitudes. After some pleasantries, these people took their seats at the end. They started a bit constrained, as many were entering such an advanced venue for the first time, feeling both thrilled and tense. But fundamentally, they were all classmates, and soon they started chatting again. Lin Tian lifted his eyes and settled momentarily on a tall and fairly pretty girl. The girl seemed around seventeen or eighteen, had a ponytail, and her eyes shone like black gemstones. When she slightly smiled, two shallow dimples appeared, adding a playful touch. Most importantly, the girl showed no recognition of inferiority or fear towards Ye Jun, Chen Yiqing, Lu Wang, and others throughout. Conversely, there was a hint of distress in the looks of Chen Yiqing and others when they looked at her. "Mr. Lin, are you taken with our Chu the Beauty?" Suddenly, Ling Xiaowu sitting nearby winked at Lin Tian, stuck out her tongue, and teased quietly. "Not at all, this is the first time I’ve seen her, how could it be love at first sight!" Lin Tian turned to look at Ling Xiaowu and laughed, "I just noticed she’s different from the others, doesn’t seem to care about Ye Jun and others!" "Hehe, of course, Chu Xiaotang is a class monitor in our Jinling City’s top high school’s first class! She’s consistently held the highest score in our school’s class, grade, and overall top position! Every mock test, monthly exam, section exam, final exam, from Freshman year on, she’s continuously ranked first! She’s virtually the top scholar in our Jinling City’s top high school and the entire Jinling area! She oversees our studies regularly, even Ye Jun and others have been reprimanded by her many times! Yet everyone knows Xiaotang is doing it for our good, and even Ye Jun and the others wouldn’t be hard on her!" "Mainly, Xiaotang also possesses first-rate looks, ranked among our school’s top ten goddesses! Countless Young Masters wish to queue to pursue her! But, for the sake of Xiaotang’s studies, orders have been given from above, no one’s allowed to disturb her! And Xiaotang herself is uninterested in others! However, there’s one lucky guy, named Mo Junhe, whose family is a lifelong friend with Xiaotang’s family, allowing frequent interactions. That guy secretly developed feelings and confessed multiple times, but was always rejected! She said she’d consider it after university, and wants Mo Junhe to join her in Huaqing University..." "Afterwards, Mo Junhe’s grades dramatically declined due to this, though his grades were average at best, not nearly enough to match Xiaotang. Naturally, Xiaotang became more disappointed, and they gradually drifted apart! Just, although Mo Junhe no longer disturbed Xiaotang, he still cared secretly, never giving up..." Seeing Ling Xiaowu’s gossip-filled expression, and hearing this, Lin Tian shook his head and said, "That Mo Junhe is indeed infatuated! But, grades aren’t everything!" "Not everyone is like you... Bad grades, not getting into a good college, can one still have a promising future?" Ling Xiaowu shook her head and sighed, "Speaking of which, Mo Junhe is quite good looking, really just like a star, an absolute heartthrob! But, merely a handsome face, it doesn’t help! Which girl wouldn’t wish for her other half to have a high degree? Otherwise, how could they be well-matched!" Upon hearing this, Lin Tian nodded slightly, showing some sympathy for that Mo Junhe. "Xiaotang, didn’t Mo Junhe follow you?" At this point, Chen Yiqing turned her head towards Chu Xiaotang, smiled, and asked, "Though if not for his poor background, I might’ve pursued him! Good-looking, caring... Hardly surprising you reject other Young Masters just to stay close to him! Just a pity, his abilities are somewhat lacking..." "I’ve already parted ways with him!" Chu Xiaotang smiled plainly, shook her head calmly, saying, "I’ve clarified everything with him, and provided a chance. If he couldn’t seize it, no one’s to blame! A parting was bound, and it’s better to lay it out openly! Unless he becomes capable someday, then he may come find me..." Upon hearing this, many in the private room exchanged glances, then fell into silence, the atmosphere turned slightly heavy. Content originally comes from novel★fire.net Separation, too weighty! Maybe after tonight, whether it’s those once budding affections or classmates opposite each other, all will go separate ways, who knows when they will meet again?
