Chapter 217: Chapter 216 Excessive Enthusiasm

"Go, Fatty Huang, what do you know? Haven’t you heard the saying ’To hide a leaf, put it in the forest; to hide a person, hide him in the crowd’? Brother Tian must be one of those reclusive experts, right, Brother Tian? I’m right, aren’t I?" Gao Le, the high jump expert, spoke with a nod and a waggle of his head as if he knew everything there was to know.

"Hey, you two have watched too much TV. It’s just a few years of martial arts training, I can handle a few small-time thugs, but up against those so-called masters and reclusive experts you talk about, I’d be done for." Lin Tian flatly denied it, otherwise, he didn’t know what sort of trouble these overly enthusiastic classmates would stir up.

However, his explanation clearly failed to convince his classmates. Fatty Huang shook his head in disbelief and said, "I saw a gust of wind when you were fighting, Brother Tian. If you’re not a martial arts master, how could that happen? It must be like in the TV shows, where you summon your divine power, and sand and stones fly around. Brother Tian, whisper to me, was it the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?"

"Psh, I don’t think it was the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, it looked more like the Qiankun Great Shifting, just as powerful as Sect Leader Zhang."

"All of you back off, you don’t know anything, you’ve watched too much TV," one student shouted loudly. Lin Tian thought he had found someone sensible, but then the student continued, "It’s got to be Tai Chi Boxing. Brother Tian and that beauty’s hands were winding around each other, tell me that doesn’t look like Tai Chi."

A group of them, like curious babies, loudly discussed all the peerless divine skills they’ve seen on TV and read about in novels.

"Hmph, you boys only know about fighting. Brother Lin, don’t mind them," a girl pointed discontentedly at Fatty Huang and the others, then suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Brother Lin, who’s that beauty? Why were you two doing that..."

Damn, what does ’doing that’ even mean? Couldn’t this classmate be more specific? People who didn’t know any better would think I did something with Ning Luoxi in public! Lin Tian was speechless with this classmate.

"Stop, everyone stop, listen to me!" Lin Tian shouted. If he let them continue this discussion, God knows what more explosive stuff they would conjure up.

Seeing everyone quiet down, Lin Tian then cleared his throat and said, "First, I am not a martial arts master or a reclusive expert; I’ve just practiced martial arts for a few years. Our Huaxia martial arts are profound and extensive; if you’re interested, you can learn about it. Second, the wind that suddenly picked up was just a coincidence, nothing to make a big deal about. Third, I have no kind of relationship with that woman; she just mistook me for someone else. Don’t spread rumors, and fourth, well, there is no fourth for now. That’ll be all; meeting adjourned, let’s eat."

Lin Tian did not disclose Ning Luoxi’s identity, since Fang Ming didn’t want to mention it, neither did he think it was appropriate to reveal that she was the class advisor’s daughter, otherwise, these high-spirited classmates might come up with even wilder ideas.

The female classmate left satisfied with the answer, and although Fatty Huang and the others still had their doubts, they did think that all that talk of divine skills didn’t quite add up, so in the end, they had to accept Lin Tian’s explanation and dispersed.

"Phew, that was exhausting. I never thought that human curiosity could be so overpowering," Lin Tian exclaimed, feeling overwhelmed, realizing that even he, a zombie, couldn’t resist his classmates’ curiosity.

"Now you know what tired feels like. How come you never thought about this when you were showing off, huh? You deserve it," Zhang Lingyu huffed.

"Alright, enough talking, let me get a drink and catch my breath first." Lin Tian grabbed the bottle of mineral water from her desk, unscrewed it, and took a drink.

"You’re in trouble now; that’s Sister Yu’s bottle—she drank from it. She’s definitely going to be mad," Xiao Manxuan said.
