Chapter 8 – Xu Jiujiu
One year later, at the family handover ceremony, Lin Tian would take over the position of the head of the family from Lin Wu and become the new head of the Lin family.
Many distinguished people came to the banquet, including the current royal family of the Xingluo Empire.
Although the Lin family is considered a large family, it is not worthy of the Xingluo Empire's royal family to personally win over.
Moreover, before this, the Xingluo Empire's royal family had never visited the Lin family, and their purpose is self-evident.
Lin Qinghan was naturally not absent from such an important occasion.
However, he did not seem to care about this matter. He just sat alone in the corner, silently watching the strangers at the banquet toasting.
"Qinghan, are you unhappy? After today, you will officially become the young head of the Lin family."
Jiang Wan accompanied Lin Qinghan. Looking at his lack of interest, she joked.
"I'm not interested in these. It's better to think about how to make tomorrow's training plan easier."
Lin Qinghan picked up a drink and drank it weakly.
Lin Qinghan has been practicing for the past year and is almost numb. He practices as soon as he opens his eyes every day. Although these training projects are nothing to him, he is a little tired every day. He hasn't been out for a year.
"And I haven't talked to him many times in the past year. Every day he is either busy with this or that."
These are Lin Qinghan's angry words of dissatisfaction with his heavy training tasks. His mental age is not as young as his appearance.
He will not get angry because of lack of company.
Jiang Wan was speechless.
She and Lin Tian did lack company for Lin Qinghan in the past two years. She didn't know what to say for a while.
Jiang Wan pulled Lin Qinghan to sit in her arms and said softly:
"Qinghan, this is unavoidable. These two years are the key to your growth period. It will be fine after a while."
Jiang Wan fell silent after saying this. Seeing that her son had such a heavy training task at such a young age, it would be a lie to say that she didn't feel distressed, but for the future of Lin Qinghan and the family, she had to harden her heart.
When Jiang Wan and Lin Qinghan were silent with each other, the prince of the Xingluo Empire came over.
"You must be Lin Qinghan, right? Hello, I am Xu Ge, the prince of the Xingluo Empire. I have heard that the Lin family has produced a peerless genius. Now that I see him, he is indeed extraordinary."
"Hello, Your Excellency." Although the person who came with some strange intentions broke the silence between the mother and son, the prince of the Xingluo Empire came to talk to him in person, so naturally, he had to be polite for a while.
Jiang Wan also let go of Lin Qinghan.
After Lin Qinghan and the prince finished talking, the prince of the Xingluo Empire and Jiang Wan both went to the main seat of Lin Tian.
The family banquet continued and soon came to an end. This was the time when the guest representatives talked to each other.
Lin Qinghan was not interested in the twists and turns between these big forces. Now there was nothing for him as a child to do, so he simply left the family banquet. It was late at night at the family training ground.
The family training ground should be quiet and deserted, but when Lin Qinghan arrived at the training ground, he found that a beautiful purple-haired girl was taking a walk here.
"Hello, you must be Lin Qinghan, right? I'm Xu Jiujiu. Nice to meet you."
The girl saw Lin Qinghan coming over, and before Lin Qinghan could speak first, she spoke first.
Is this Xu Jiujiu?
"Did you come with that prince? Why didn't I see you in the banquet hall just now?"
"I came very early. Because I can't drink and there were too many people there, I saw that there was no one here, so I stayed here for a while." The girl did not have the posture of a royal princess at all.
Facing Lin Qinghan's inquiry, she was happy to explain to Lin Qinghan.
"Do you come here often?"
"Not often. I have a special training ground, and I only come here to practice occasionally."
"Oh, from what you said, it seems that you are very hardworking?"
Lin Qinghan pulled the corner of his mouth, a little confused by Xu Jiujiu's question, "You have to be hardworking. The family requires it."
"I heard you have great talent? Are you interested in a competition?" Seeing that Lin Qinghan seemed to be a little bit defeated, Xu Jiujiu quickly changed the subject.
"Forget it. You are not my opponent, and it would be bad if you get hurt." Lin Qinghan decisively refused.
"How can we know if we don't compete?"
As soon as Lin Qinghan finished speaking, Xu Jiujiu had already released her martial spirit and spirit ring.
"Okay, let's compete if you want."
Five minutes later, Xu Jiujiu was unable to move.
Xu Jiujiu was a little ashamed and angry at this time. She seemed to be entangled by countless invisible vines all over her body.
Every joint could not move, and there were bursts of electric current coming from them, which made her feel a strange feeling all over her body, which made her blush.
"I know I am not your opponent. Let me go first." Xu Jiujiu tried to struggle, but it was no use.
Lin Qinghan did not embarrass Xu Jiujiu too much and soon let her go.
After Xu Jiujiu was put down, she glared at Lin Qinghan and then turned around and left.
"It's really inexplicable." Lin Qinghan was puzzled. Xu Jiujiu had been looking for him for no reason, and now she was ignoring him.
The next morning, Lin Qinghan learned a very explosive news.
"What! Get me engaged?" Lin Qinghan couldn't believe it.
How old was he this year, and he was forced into an arranged marriage by his family?
"There's nothing I can do.
The prince and princess of the Xingluo Empire are here in person. I can't refuse." Lin Tian was also a little helpless.
He had owed his son enough in the past few years, and now even his marriage was arranged for him.
"The one who is going to be engaged to you is Xu Jiujiu, the most talented princess of the Xingluo Empire. You are not at a disadvantage."
"I don't agree. It doesn't matter who it is. Besides, how old am I this year? Isn't it too early to get engaged now?" Lin Qinghan quickly refused. As a 21st-century teenager before crossing over, he sternly rejected arranged marriages.
"It's not a big deal. It's just a verbal agreement, and the prince also said that if they both look down on each other when they reach the age of marriage, the engagement can be annulled." Seeing that he couldn't control Lin Qinghan, Lin Tian could only tell him the specifics.
"I'm scared to death. It's better this way. Next time you must tell me about this kind of thing. I didn't even show up to discuss such an important event in my life."
Lin Qinghan was relieved to hear that it was just a verbal agreement.
"Haha, you kid still despise me, but I'm the most noble princess of the Xingluo Empire, and I may not look down on you." Lin Tian joked.
"Humph, who will look down on whom by then?" Lin Qinghan's mouth tilted, revealing a childish side.
"Haha, I hope so." Seeing that his goal was achieved, Lin Tian quickly withdrew from Lin Qinghan's room.
"Damn, am I being tricked?"
Seeing Lin Tian walk out of the room with a smile on his face, Lin Qinghan was a little suspicious.
There is no way. The old ones are still the wisest.
Even if Lin Qinghan's age in two lives is added together, it is not as old as Lin Tian. Besides, Lin Qinghan is still affected by age. "No matter what, whoever is stronger will be the boss."
Lin Qinghan was depressed for a while and simply stopped thinking about it.
He should focus on practicing hard. Anyway, this world is a world of the jungle. Whoever has the bigger fist is right.
When he is invincible, no matter what the agreement is, he will still have to listen to him.
