Chapter 348: Not Good Will at All

“Damn it!!”

Li Qiming looked at Jin Xiutian’s retreating figure, his heart filled with uncontrollable rage and immense frustration.

If Jin Xiutian intended to protect Su Lang, then dealing with Su Lang would indeed become troublesome for him!

At the same time, the long-braided youth Sun Teng and others also stiffened.

They had tried to scheme against Su Lang, but ended up shooting themselves in the foot, forcing Su Lang into Xiao Ning’s home, which left them incredibly frustrated.

However, they had no other options and were counting on Li Qiming to deal with Su Lang.

But with Jin Xiutian protecting Su Lang, the anger they held in their hearts would never be released!

Apart from Li Qiming, Sun Teng, He Xuan, and others, the remaining students also began to whisper among themselves, discussing the scene unfolding before them.

“I thought Su Lang was done for, but unexpectedly, Jin Xiutian actually wants to protect him. That’s truly surprising!”

“Yeah, this guy is really lucky. Not only did he win the beauty, but he also successfully avoided retaliation!”

“Damn it, when will I ever have such good luck?!”

“…”

Everyone’s pity, ridicule, and disdain for Su Lang once again turned into envy, jealousy, and hatred!

Meanwhile, Su Lang and Xiao Ning also witnessed the open and hidden struggles between Jin Xiutian and Li Qiming, and couldn’t help but exchange helpless glances.

Others thought Jin Xiutian protecting Su Lang was Su Lang’s good fortune.

But they didn’t know that Su Lang wasn’t happy in his heart, because he didn’t need Jin Xiutian’s protection.

On the contrary, in Su Lang’s view, Jin Xiutian was merely using him to humiliate his old rival Li Qiming; this couldn't be considered kindness at all.

At this moment.

Jin Xiutian, accompanied by his entourage, approached Su Lang and Xiao Ning.

“Junior Sister Xiao Ning, hello.”

“Junior Brother Su Lang, hello.”

Jin Xiutian was all smiles, beaming, without a hint of arrogance.

Xiao Ning nodded and said, “Senior Brother Jin, hello. Is there something you need?”

Su Lang, however, merely gave a faint nod, not even speaking a word.

Seeing Su Lang’s behavior, Jin Xiutian immediately felt a surge of displeasure. Wherever he, Young Master Jin, went, wasn't he always surrounded by people fawning over him? Today, he was actually ignored!!

His followers, even more so, furrowed their brows, and their gazes towards Su Lang immediately became somewhat unfriendly.

The atmosphere gradually grew cold.

However, Jin Xiutian still held back. He had a wide circle of friends and had encountered many arrogant individuals before.

“Haha, Junior Sister Xiao Ning, congratulations on finding a kindred spirit who shares your affection!”

Jin Xiutian laughed heartily, and the atmosphere immediately warmed up, no longer cold.

“Uh, Senior Brother Jin, I’m afraid there’s a misunderstanding.”

Xiao Ning said with a slight blush, “Su Lang and I are just fellow Daoists, exchanging insights on the path of alchemy.”

“I understand, I understand. Exchanging insights means being of one heart!”

Jin Xiutian said with a beaming smile, making Xiao Ning blush even more.

And just as Xiao Ning was about to explain, Jin Xiutian looked at Su Lang again:

“Junior Brother Su Lang, I attended your class yesterday, and I must say you are truly amazing. I, Jin Xiutian, admire you!”

As soon as he spoke, Jin Xiutian’s followers immediately chimed in to agree.

“That’s right, Junior Brother Su Lang’s lecture was really good!”

“Yes, I felt enlightened and suddenly understood after listening!”

“Junior Brother Su Lang, you’re incredible. The number one genius of the Alchemy Gate, it has to be you!”

“…”

One after another, they praised Su Lang to the heavens.

“You all flatter me.”

Su Lang cupped his hands and bowed, his expression humble.

Secretly, he rolled his eyes hard.

During the class yesterday, he had never seen Jin Xiutian or his followers.

There was no need to think; he knew that Jin Xiutian and the others had heard the news from elsewhere.

“No flattery! Absolutely not!”

“Even if Sect Master Yun were to hit me, I dare say that Junior Brother Su Lang’s talent in alchemy is absolutely the highest in history!”

Jin Xiutian’s expression was sincere, then he revealed an incomparably kind smile, “I came to find Junior Brother Su Lang, not only to congratulate you two, but also to invite Junior Brother Su Lang to join my Hidden Ancient Clan, the Jin Family!

I guarantee that after Junior Brother Su Lang joins my Jin Family, you will definitely receive the most and best cultivation resources!

Moreover, in this world, absolutely no one will be able to threaten you, Junior Brother, not even the reckless Li Family!”
