Chapter 33 (1/2)

”Don't tell me you're sent from heaven?” This sentence sounded out like a groan, and Mister Qin himself did not even know how he managed to ask. He felt as though he was in a dream, as though his spirit was floating halfway in the air...

Eh!

Seeing how Mister Qin's face lost its color, Ling Tian could not help but let out a bitter smile. This was just following through with whatever that he said; he merely felt as though his previous performance was much too eye-catching, and with no options left, he could only speak whatever came to mind without first processing it. He had just wanted to label himself as a genius, since geniuses existed in this world. By operating under the cover of a genius, this would allow people to feel less inferior.

How would he have known that his ordinary words would be taken by the old man as though he was someone sent from the heaven? To think that this was preordained by heavens, my G.o.d! What was that old man's brains made of? This kind of imagination, wasn't it just… too rich?

Mister Qin took a long time before his spirit finally returned to reality, hurriedly taking a step forward. This expression looked crazed as he grabbed onto Ling Tian's collar, saying, ”Say, were you expressly sent by the heavens? Were you?!”

Ling Tian was grabbed so tightly he was literally suffocating. With difficulty, he took a breath of air, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, ”Ehh… this… I guess I can be considered.”

d.a.m.n it, there should not be any problem saying that he was sent by the heavens, right? After all, he had secretly snuck out from the Yellow Springs of the Underworld! If he did not possess a measure of blessings from the heavens, he would probably have been reincarnated back in his previous world. Just using this point for reference, one could say that it seemed as though the heavens willed it, so… there you go!

Mister Qin finally loosened his hands, his eyes vacant, yet wearing an ecstatic expression! The poor old man finally went mental after all the mental shocks given by Ling Tian...

”Mister, wake up… Mister!” After Ling Tian called out a few times, did Mister Qin come to his senses as though waking up from a dream; the moment the latter saw Ling Tian's face, he hurriedly stood up and tidied his robes, before giving a stately expression as he kowtowed on the ground…

Ling Tian started to sweat profusely! This old fellow was obviously trying to shorten his longevity! He hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him back up.

The old man panicked on the spot, ”Manners can't be abandoned! You are an envoy sent from heaven. Are you telling this old man that he doesn't even have the qualifications to pay respect to you?”

Ling Tian was absolutely horrified! You old man, after studying for your entire lifetime, your brain probably got muddled from all the studying… I have not even tried to dupe you and you're already like that… if I ever con you, then won't you probably have a heart attack and just die right there?

Seeing how the old man was extremely moved, prostrating himself on the floor without any intentions of moving, Ling Tian was rendered speechless. Looks like he could only con him into getting up.

”Cough, cough,” two harsh coughing sounds rang out, as Ling Tian spoke with a stern face, ”Mister, what you're doing is wrong; right now, only you know of my ident.i.ty, so if you insist on doing so, then do you know the consequences if the news were to leak out? All the major powers as well as everyone in this world will treat me as their enemy, and would definitely want to silence me early. As for the Ling family, they would obviously be dragged into the muddied waters! All that I said, could be caused by you merely wanting to pay your respects to me! Have you thought about it?”

Mister Qin got terrified out of his wits! He stood up in a fl.u.s.ter of arms and legs, saying: ”This old man has gone silly. Will… young n.o.ble please forgive me!” After thinking, he still did not know how to address Ling Tian, and thus reluctantly settled with the term young n.o.ble.

Ling Tian felt a headache coming: ”Sir, please resume your original address of me, are you trying to kill this kid here?”

However, Mister Qin shook his head with a firm expression, remarking, ”In private, respect must be shown. Only then can this old man's heart be at ease.”
