Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor
Chapter 113 - 113 112 Lin Xuanfei's Confession

113: Chapter 112: Lin Xuanfei’s Confession 113: Chapter 112: Lin Xuanfei’s Confession Seeing Li Chen still feigning ignorance there, Lin Xuanfei bit her lip tightly and stomped her foot forcefully.

Everyone present was utterly shocked!

Her best friend, Zhao Huanhuan, was the first to snap back to reality, pointing at Li Chen and saying, “Feifei, the person you like, it’s not really him, is it?”

Lin Xuanfei didn’t reply, just biting her lips even harder.

Not denying it was as good as admitting it!

Zhang Yuanjun, Lui Kang, and others were extremely alarmed, their faces filled with disbelief.

If they had lost to Bai Qianshui, although they would’ve felt unwilling, they wouldn’t be furiously embarrassed.

After all, the Jiangnan Bai Family is one of the top five aristocratic families in the province.

Even if they lost the competition, they wouldn’t feel disgraced.

But losing to someone like Li Chen, a nobody from a poor family, would make them lose all face.

If this got out, wouldn’t the others in their circle laugh their teeth off?

Bai Qianshui was as shocked as if he had been struck by lightning, and it took him a long while to come to his senses.

With his body trembling in anger and his face ashen, he clenched his teeth and said: “Feifei, you’re not joking, are you?

If you don’t like me, just say so.

Why do you need to use such a worthless loser as a shield to humiliate me?”

Hearing the argument in the living room, an elegant and dignified middle-aged woman hurried over from behind the screen.

She was, naturally, Lin Xuanfei’s mother.

Actually, Mrs.

Lin had been listening behind the screen for quite some time.

However, since it was her beloved daughter’s coming-of-age ceremony today, she felt it wasn’t right to say anything and hadn’t come out to intervene.

When she saw Bai Qianshui expressing his love for her daughter with the national treasure “Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River,” her heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.

The Bai Family and the Lin Family were both prestigious families in Jiangnan.

A match between the two would be perfectly suitable, and if they were to unite through marriage, it would be of great benefit to both families without any downside.

What she never expected was that her daughter would actually refuse.

And moreover, she had publicly turned against Bai Qianshui for the sake of a boy from a poor family.

Seeing the situation spinning out of control, Mrs.

Lin grew concerned that the two families would become enemies and hurried out to stabilize the scene.

She first went over to Lin Xuanfei, gently tugged at her arm, and began to scold her with feigned anger.

“Feifei, aren’t you causing trouble?”

“Mom, I am not causing trouble!”

After speaking, Lin Xuanfei broke free from her mother’s grasp and turned to face Li Chen.

Her eyes were clear and bright, a resolute and determined light shining within them, her lips tightly pressed as she said, word by word: “Li Chen, I like you!”

Lin Xuanfei’s voice wasn’t loud, but each word was pronounced very clearly.

Although it was just six words, to the ears of Mrs.

Lin, Bai Qianshui, and others, it was nothing less than a thunderclap on a clear day.

Li Chen didn’t expect this girl to be so bold; the crab he had just reached his mouth, not even chewed yet, was startled and fell onto the table.

At this moment, he felt somewhat dazed.

“Lin Xuanfei, are you expressing your affection to me?”

Lin Xuanfei’s lips were nearly bitten to the point of bleeding as she nodded emphatically.

Li Chen said, “My family is poor!”

Lin Xuanfei said, “It doesn’t matter, my family’s financial condition is good, and I am an only child!”

Li Chen said, “My grades aren’t good, second-to-last in the entire grade!”

Lin Xuanfei said, “I don’t care, my grades are good, never been out of the top three, I can tutor you!”

Li Chen helplessly said, “But…

I don’t like you!”

Lin Xuanfei’s lips had already bitten out a trace of blood, her delicate body slightly trembling.

“It doesn’t matter, I like you, that’s enough.

This is my own affair; it has nothing to do with you!”

Upon hearing Lin Xuanfei’s words, everyone was stunned, their eyes wide and jaws dropped.

They simply could not believe that such blunt and even somewhat self-deprecating words could come from the mouth of Lin Xuanfei, a girl who seemed high above them, untouchable like an immortal.

Mrs.

Lin’s mind was also blank; she opened her mouth but didn’t utter a word.

At this moment, she really did not know what to say.

She even suspected whether her daughter was under some sort of spell.

She couldn’t bear to scold her daughter, so she turned to Li Chen and said earnestly, “Li Chen, Feifei is my only daughter.

She has never suffered a bit since she was little.

Now that the college entrance examination is approaching, she might be facing some academic pressure.

Plus, being at an age of youthful confusion, it’s inevitable that she might say some inappropriate things; please don’t take it seriously!”

“Here is a card with 100,000 yuan in it.

Take it and leave my daughter!”

Bai Qianshui gazed angrily at Li Chen and said, “Li Chen, as long as you stay away from Feifei, I can also give you a sum of money.

With it, you can buy a house, a car, and get married in the city, and live a well-off life!”

Li Chen looked at this group of second-generation rich kids, who seemingly wanted to skin him alive, and his handsome face was filled with two characters:

Depressed!

“I simply came to attend the dinner at the invitation of Lin Xuanfei, just to have a meal, nothing more!”

After speaking, he pushed back the two UnionPay cards from Bai Qianshui and Mrs.

Lin, and said in all seriousness.

“Although my family’s condition isn’t good, we haven’t reached the point of needing others’ charity.

If you feel you have too much money, you could totally donate it to the impoverished mountainous areas!”

After Li Chen finished speaking, everyone present exploded with anger.

Mrs.

Lin’s face darkened as she said coldly, “Li Chen, what do you mean by that?

Are you saying my daughter Feifei is not good enough for you?”

“Li Chen, if you dare to insult Feifei, I, Lui Kang, will never let you get away with it!”

“I, Zhang Yuanjun, will also not let you get away with this!”

“Li Chen, you, a son of a poor family, actually dare to be so arrogant.

I, Bai Qianshui, hereby swear that I will make you pay the price for today’s behavior!”

If looks could kill, Li Chen might have already been riddled with a thousand arrows and reduced to ashes at this moment.

Lin Xuanfei’s eyes were red, and she held back her tears, saying, “Enough, this is my own issue, it has nothing to do with you all!”

“Cough cough, what’s going on, who has upset my dear granddaughter?”

Everyone looked toward the voice and saw an elderly man in a Zhongshan suit, walking slowly with a pearwood cane.

Two other equally elderly men of remarkable presence followed behind him.

This is Lin Chen, the leading authority in the academic world, the North Star of Mount Tai!

He’s a top-level big shot who retired from the Central Department of Education, one who could shake the entire Huaxia academic world with a single stomp of his foot.

Even governors would have to respectfully address him as Mr.

Lin when they meet him.

“Good day to you, Grandpa Lin!”

Upon the arrival of Lin Chen, all the rich second-generations respectfully lined up in two rows, bowing deeply in greeting.

Bai Qianshui stepped forward to greet: “Teacher, you have arrived!”

The elderly man in grey robes pointed at Bai Qianshui and said, “Mr.

Lin, this must be the promising student you often speak of, Bai Qianshui, the grandson of Bai Siyuan?”

Lin Chen, with a smile in his eyes, nodded and replied, “Yes, that’s right.

Qianshui has a natural talent for calligraphy, especially in running script; his proficiency is already comparable to a master’s level!”

After saying this, he pointed to the grey-robed elderly man and introduced him, “Qianshui, this person is the deputy director of the Palace Museum, Elder Zhou Zheng!”

“And this is the globally renowned archaeologist, Elder Wu Yuan!”

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s introduction, Bai Qianshui was visibly excited.

The deputy director of the Palace Museum was an influential figure who had direct access to central authority.

Although Wu Yuan did not have such direct access, besides being an archaeologist, he was also an esteemed master of magic.

Even Bai Qianshui, the young master of the Bai Family, wouldn’t dare to act arrogantly in front of these two.

In that instant, he humbled himself and respectfully greeted both of them.

“Good day to you, Elder Wu!”

“Good day to you, Elder Zhou!”

Lin Chen, Wu Yuan, and Zhou Zheng, the three heavyweights, were all very satisfied with Bai Qianshui’s respectful behavior.

They nodded in turn and then turned their gaze toward Li Chen.

Upon seeing Li Chen’s arrogant face with none of the awe that a young man should have, Mr.

Lin’s murky eyes immediately flashed with a glint of indignation.

“Young man, was it you who just said that my granddaughter is not worthy of you?”

Seeing Mr.

Lin taking a tough stand for his granddaughter and challenging Li Chen, Bai Qianshui, Lui Kang, and others couldn’t help but glance over with schadenfreude.

You arrogant kid, let’s see how you’ll stay arrogant now!

Hmph, a nobody should know his place; wanting to climb high without the capability only ends in humiliation!
