Chapter 32 Coming of Age Ceremony 2



Many of the girls present puffed out their chests, waiting for Lin Xingchen's invitation.

Walking over to Avril, Anna and the others, the four of them were all dressed up gorgeously today, especially Avril and Anna, who were competing with each other for beauty.

Amid everyone's exclamations, Lin Xingchen stretched out his hands, and both Avril and Anna hesitated for a moment before accepting the invitation.

A man in the middle of the dance floor was dancing with two ladies at the same time, which aroused cheers from a large number of onlookers outside the venue.

"Aren't you afraid that both of us will reject you?" Eve asked with some resentment.

"Since I dare to reach out, I must be confident. Besides, if both of you disagree, I will pretend to be hugging Sister Eddie behind you, so that I won't be so embarrassed..." Lin Xingchen told the truth.

"You bad guy, you've hurt both of us this time. I reached out to you because I thought Marceline was angry and I didn't want to embarrass you, but you are really lucky." Anna said softly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"You can only know whether your luck is good or not after you try it, and my luck today must be blessed by the goddess."

"Don't you hate gods and believers the most?" Eve still couldn't accept it for a while.

"There are also distinctions between gods. For example, I have great faith in the goddess of luck, but the goddess I'm talking about is not her, but you two. You are my goddess tonight."

"Hmph... You're so smooth-talking. Aren't you afraid that the real goddess will get angry?"

"If gods really do appear, I'd actually be quite happy. I'd like to ask them how to find a balance between you two. After all, I'm really moved and it's not fake."

"You're so fickle, aren't you afraid that we'll just turn around and leave?" Anna spoke before Avril for fear that she would lose her temper.

"Hehe... Don't be afraid, because whoever doesn't accept my invitation means she has withdrawn. This is a bet between me, the goddess of luck, and the goddess of fate. The bet is between me and you."

"Are you really not afraid of losing by being so careless?"

"You have known me for a long time, and you know exactly what kind of person I am. I am just an asshole. As an asshole, I like to do my own thing and don't care what others think. I now have status, position, and capital to do whatever I want."

"All those who dislike me are not qualified nor capable of teaching me how to do things."

"They can only secretly envy me for being so lucky and being able to do whatever I want."

"There are always some people and things that cannot be abandoned or given up, and you cannot ignore all the accusations and hatred. What you need, Lin, is a tolerant heart." Anna whispered in Lin Xingchen's ear.

"Avril is not like me. Her family has always been the source of her troubles. What are you going to do?"

"As long as they still like gold coins, then many things will be easy to talk about. I don't have much else, but my ability to make money is definitely enough."

The music stopped at this time, the dance ended, and after Lin Xingchen kissed each of them on the cheek, they had some free time.

A man in a tuxedo walked up to the three of them and said, "I wonder if I can talk to Mr. Xingchen."

"What's this gentleman's name?"

"Peters, Chryst Peters."

"Of course, I heard of Mr. Crest's name a few months ago. I would like to thank you for the gift. I really appreciate it."

"Lin, when did you have any contact with Crest?" Avril grabbed Lin Xingchen's arm tightly and dragged it hard to pull him away.

At this time, Anna pulled her aside and shook her head to signal her not to speak.

"Do you believe me if I tell you it was just a misunderstanding?"

"Do you think I will believe it?"

"Although I really want to resolve this misunderstanding, it seems that you don't want to."

"I don't have the heart to forgive someone who slaps me and then says it was a misunderstanding."

"I believe in not offending others, and if I do offend someone, I must beat him to death, because once I forgive him, I don't know when he will do the same to me again."

"If you want revenge, I can take it, but hurting her like this is not what a man should do."

"I'm sorry, I just became a man now. I was still a boy a dozen hours ago. As for whether it hurts or not, I just like to hurt her because she likes to be hurt by me."

After Lin Xingchen finished speaking, the fighting spirit in his body burst out directly, and the powerful airflow blew Lin Xingchen's hair into a mess.

"It will do you no good to anger me. Although you are of noble status, your strength is not worthy of it."

“As the youngest seventh-level knight in the capital, your strength is indeed impressive, and you are also patient enough.

I've been fishing for so long and you haven't made a move again, why are you planning to do it today?"

"I wonder if you and your family can afford the charge of assassinating the heir to the kingdom's Dukedom?"

"Stay away from her. It's good for both you and her. You can take this as a warning."

Lin Xingchen stood on tiptoe and whispered in the big man's ear, "Don't teach me how to do things, because she will be mine soon."

Kleist bowed and left. He was a little impulsive tonight.

When the onlookers saw that there was no duel, they became disappointed and changed the subject.

Avril ran to him anxiously and asked, "How did you become enemies with him? Why have I never heard you talk about it?"

"Don't worry, he was just blessing me just now. I will tell you a lot of things after tonight."

The celebration will eventually come to an end, and as people slowly left the dance hall became deserted.

“Lin, why did that guy just vent his fighting spirit on you?” Evelin walked up to Lin Xingchen, lifting her skirt, and asked.

“Don’t worry, a man with a heart but no guts, he was just joking with me.

You should go back and rest early, because you have classes tomorrow." After letting Roy accompany Evelin back, Lin Xingchen and Arnold cleaned up the last tack.

"Young Master, why are you pushing him so hard today? You've been fishing for him for so long, how come you have less patience than him today?"

"If I don't push him today, I think he will still think that I don't know what he did. I just want to wake him up and let him know that I am always ready to retaliate against him."

"It is also a tactic to keep the enemy uneasy all the time. It depends on when he can no longer bear it."

"My young master, I still want to remind you that even if you become a sixth-level magician, don't forget that he is a seventh-level knight and a swordsman. Such a person is not easy to deal with."

"Don't worry, Grandpa Arnold. I know the severity of the situation. Besides, he wouldn't dare to fight me. This kind of person loves himself much more than he loves others."

Looking at the four heads of United Rose talking about something with smiles on their faces not far away, Lin Xingchen walked towards them.

"How was the result today? Did it surprise you?"

"Thank you so much, Lin. I didn't expect that the product exhibition you mentioned would attract so many people to place orders today. The number of sales today alone is probably more than 20,000 gold coins." As the butler, Eddie smiled from ear to ear.

"You should seize the opportunity to promote it. You can then say that a certain Marquis bought my red wine, or that a certain Earl came to buy my candy for the second time. Anyway, they really bought it, so there is no problem in borrowing it."

After a happy conversation among them, Eddie was taken away by Gerard.

"Now can you tell me what happened between you two," Avril asked, removing the tiara from her head.

"Remember the first time I came to your Chamber of Commerce? I encountered six assassins on my way back."

Hearing this, Avril and Anna both exclaimed nervously, "You're not hurt, are you?"

"Of course not. I asked the last assassin for the name of this employer."

"Is this why you repeatedly asked us out? You didn't know why he wanted to assassinate you at first, so you dragged the two of us around. Were you testing him?"

"Yes, until you told me about him, I knew he attacked me because of Avril."

"Then how are you going to deal with our situation? The whole capital is saying that we are two shameless people who both like a man who is four or five years younger than us."

"You've spread the news, and you're not going to give us an explanation?"

"What do you need to explain? No, you just need to wait patiently. I will bring you back to Maple Leaf Territory in two years. You will have what Evelyn has, too."

"Where is your Lordship? Avril is a nice girl, but I am a widow as everyone knows."

“The old man only cares whether you can give birth to a descendant of the Star Clan for him; he doesn’t care who the mother of the child is.

Compared to the other women who are stuffed into my head, why can't I find one myself and raise you for two years and then I can figure it out."

"Aren't you afraid that others will say you have strong tastes?"

"Those who dare to think may not dare to say it, and those who dare to say it may not necessarily say it. In a small sense, this is called pursuing love, and in a big sense, this is called taking responsibility. As long as we are fine, the king will only spread our beautiful legends in the future, instead of those idle gossips that you don't like."

"Don't worry! I'll take care of everything. I can't refuse some of the old man's requests, but he won't stop me from doing some things either. In the end, he and I are both for the family."

"What are your plans next? Are you still going to hang out in the academy?" Avril seemed to have accepted her fate and asked him by changing the subject.

"It's not a day to mess around. I met a very interesting old man at the academy last time. I plan to learn blacksmithing from him."
