Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Main Character? Divine Sword??

The entire arena fell into a stunned silence, each person present was shocked for different reasons.

Lin Feng's words made everyone in the arena direct their eyes toward the girl, leaving the onlookers dumbfounded. Among them were the elders of the sect and the Clan heads, who shared a common thought as they looked at Lin Feng's figure.

'Is fate blind to bestow such talent upon a trash like him?'

They felt as if the gods were mocking them by giving their sect master such a seemingly useless son. While they were glad when he was born and held high hopes for him, as he grew older under the spoiling of the sect master, they resigned themselves to his perceived inadequacy.

Meanwhile, Long Tian, standing afar, was taken aback after hearing these words. His gaze swept over the area where the clan heads were seated and noticed the shift of his grandfather's expression, from composed to being panicked, then turning into disbelief for a moment.

Even the head of the Xiao family wore a look of dismay.

Although he was not particularly fond of this girl, he was further disgusted knowing that she was this low of a person.

After observing the reactions of the two old men, Long Tian understood that they were aware of this matter. He then turned to look back at the stage, a faint smile playing on his lips as he anticipated the drama that was about to unfold. He was not angry with the sudden turn of events. If he was angry, it meant that he cared about the girl or what she did.

Meanwhile, the crowd erupted into chaos as they started murmuring amongst themselves.

"Wasn't she already betrothed to the young master of the Long family?"

"Does the Xiao family intend to deceive the Long family? I never thought she would be the kind of woman to engage in such treacherous behavior," The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

"It seems she is this type of woman who deceived everyone and has always been wearing a gentle facade before the public, trying to hide what she really is."

The gossip spread like wildfire with each word piercing through Xiao Mei's heart like a sharp arrow.

Her expression turned cold as a flicker of killing intent flashed through her eyes. Anger and frustration were etched across her face for what she was experiencing. Accustomed to upholding her image, this kind of public humiliation and sudden exposure had shattered her facade in an instant.

Taking a sidelong glance, she wanted to see what kind of reaction would Long Tian have after hearing these words.

But as she noticed him look at the stage with an amused smile on his face, her fury intensified. Clenching her fists and biting her lips strongly enough to draw some blood, she looked away, not wanting to make herself any more ashamed.

She was well aware of the fact that Long Tian didn't have any romantic interests in her, something that had always infuriated her. Accustomed to being pampered and adored by the people as they tried to gain her favor, she liked the attention, even though she hated them as they tried to get close to her.

And though she didn't like Long Tian, Xiao Mei wanted him to pay attention to her like everyone else did. She did not like the feeling of being ignored by him, the feeling of being nothing but ordinary in his eyes and longed to become the center of his world.

This caused the crowd to echo in disappointment as several individuals were turned away, their lack of talent prevented them from proceeding with the assessment any further.

Although there were many talentless children, there were also some talented ones among them.

Among the group of commoners, there was a particular participant named Yuan Ming.

He displayed an orange-colored talent which was on the verge of turning yellow, he defied many expectations and possessed a level of potential higher than most.

Yuan Ming was taller than people of his age, reaching up to five feet. His sharp look could easily sway a young maiden's heart along with his sword-like eyebrows which complemented his facial features.

His physique did not have any excessive muscle mass, which indicated that he had been going through focused training given that this kind of muscular build was a rarity among youths of his background and age.

It was as if someone had trained him properly, but if he had achieved this on his own, then it wasn't wrong to say that he was even more talented.

Yuan Ming's appearance held another layer of mystery besides his physique.

The kind of mature character he possessed was rarely seen in the people of his age while he also had an aura of wisdom and elegance to him, something that usually comes only with age and experience.

These traits attracted Long Tian's attention, causing him to narrow his eyes in contemplation about this guy. But what truly captured Long Tian's focus was the rusty sword that was tied to Yuan Ming's back.

While the sword looked rusty and ordinary, the way he was carrying it made it look suspicious.

Yuan Ming was carrying the sword as if it was some kind of precious treasure. While others seemed to ignore the sword, Long Tian could see some carvings on the sword as well.

After thinking for a while, Long Tian shook his head.

'What am I even thinking? It's not like that is some kind of treasured sword and the boy is the main character of some XianXia novel of a struggling writer...'

He couldn't help but laugh at his own absurd imagination but only time would unravel if it was really just his imagination or he just raised a flag, setting some significant event in motion.
