Chapter 989: No Sense of Self-Awareness

Human City, belonging to no dynasty, could be considered as ruled by Lin Zhongtian the City Lord, akin to a Local Emperor here.

But at this moment, such an existence was kneeling before a young man in front of all the creatures, leaving them dumbstruck and in disbelief.

What on earth was happening?

The people dared not make noise, but their minds couldn’t help but speculate,

Who exactly was this young man?

They had always stayed in Human City, rarely going out, news was blocked; they could only guess that Wu Tian’s father was a significant figure, that Wu Tian’s family was an extraordinary one.

Or perhaps, Wu Tian was a True Disciple of some powerful sect,

Even more, some speculated Wu Tian was the Saint Heir of the rumored Sacred Land.

In any case, the surrounding creatures were already shocked.

Their hearts were shaken to death,

The guards felt the same; on the way here, Lin Zhongtian couldn’t help but worry about his son, voicing anxious threats about making anyone who dared hurt his son pay,

But who could have known it would turn out like this?

The scenario was too far from what the guards had guessed.

“My lord, do you know him? Should I stop?”

Li Yuanba, having anticipated a grand battle today, was caught off guard by this development, even he, now looked at Wu Tian in a daze, asking for instructions.

“Father, what are you doing? Stand up.”

At this moment, Lin Kongxin seemed to go mad, shouting as he tried to pull his father up,

But Lin Zhongtian refused, his eyelids twitching wildly; he had not expected to encounter this person here.

Lin Xibei was his ancestor; Lin Xibei had passed, but left behind a painting,

And a sentence known only to each generation’s Family Head.

“Father, get up, please.”

“You’re embarrassing me by kneeling here.”

Lin Kongxin,

Cried,

If his dad were to kneel to others, how could he face anyone in the street in the future?

“Is this all you care about?” The young fellow suddenly got upset, staring at Lin Kongxin as if he were a disgusting rat or cockroach: “Your father is the City Lord, knowing you’re in trouble, he immediately came; he is kneeling now, and you’re not worried about him? His dignity? His character? Whether he’s breaking his heart over your issues?”

“How can you only worry about whether you’ll be looked down on in the future?”

“In fact, your actions have already been looked down upon by the people, you just don’t want to admit or deny this fact. Don’t you have even a little self-awareness about your true self?”

Boom!

The young fellow’s words hit Lin Kongxin like a thunderbolt; his grin twisted into a grimace: “If not for my dad kneeling today, how could anyone look down on me?”

“I, Young Master, was always so prestigious, how could I ever be despised?”

Wu Tian laughed, looking at the surrounding people and creatures, saying: “Speak your minds freely.”

They hesitated, should they speak?

Would there be retribution?

Wu Tian smiled, snapped his fingers,

“Click!”

Immediately, those people and creatures seemed to have no more reservations, and started speaking freely.

“I despise people like him the most, relying on his father, it’s something, but he relies only on himself, not putting in even a bit of effort, and that won’t do.”

“Actually, there’s nothing wrong with him leading an idle life, living off his father, but he does nothing just bullies us; after doing so, he thinks he’s prestigious, that’s really inhumane.”

“Yes, trash.”

“Living in the world, wasting food.”

“He still thinks he’s handsome, a dragon among men, it’s just too disgusting.”

“…”

The people’s words, each like a sword, pierced Lin Kongxin’s heart, causing him to sway,

He didn’t believe it,

Did the people normally view him this way?

Not at all impressed with him?

Him, gifted in both arts and martial skills?

His steps faltered,

Suddenly, he fell to the ground,

It’s over, everything’s over.

Lin Kongxin, he felt his envisioned world was completely destroyed, thoroughly broken. Beads of cold sweat trickled down his forehead!

Thinking of something, he looked at Lin Zhongtian: “Father, what about you? How do you see me?”

“Child, in your father’s heart, you are the best.” With a sigh, Lin Zhongtian said.

“I knew it, I knew it, father, you understand me best.” Lin Kongxin nodded, somewhat comforted,

Only his own father,

Watched him grow up,

Unlike outsiders’ stupidity,

Only his own father,

Could see his talent,

Others,

Where do they have this capability?

However the next moment,

Lin Zhongtian couldn’t help but say: “If even your father did not acknowledge you, child, you’d be too pitiful. No matter what the child is like, a stone from a pit latrine, they are the best in the hearts of their parents.”

“…”

Lin Kongxin only felt his blood surging, a sweetness at his throat, wanting to spit blood but held it back,

“Father, who is he?”

Lin Kongxin suddenly thought of something, called out,

Lin Zhongtian shook his head, indicating he did not know either. Only that their ancestor Lin Xibei left these words,

If you see the man in the painting,

Regard him as a Ghost God,

Revere him like a Heavenly God!

“You… who exactly are you… are you a fraud? I’ll tell you… I’ve already been designated as a disciple by the Elder of the Gate of Life from the Human Daoist Sect… if you deceive my father, when my master arrives…”

Wu Tian gazed at Lin Kongxin; upon the first meeting, he hadn’t felt it,

This time, he finally saw something, Wu Tian’s eyes narrowed, coldly saying: “You became a disciple of the Human Daoist Sect? Haha, by then, the Human Daoist Sect could use your fame to fully grasp Human City, right?”

The guards, mostly robed,

This Lin Zhongtian,

Lin Kongxin’s father and son,

Probably have been so infatuated with the Human Daoist Sect that they couldn’t find north.

What?

Lin Zhongtian was startled; he, having mediocre talent,

Also remembered Lin Xibei’s words even more because of this,

If not for Lin Xibei, his entire family, generation after generation, would still be farmers.

Lin Kongxin gritted his teeth,

The one before him,

How could he defame the great Human Daoist Sect like this?

The Human Daoist Sect, on the mainland’s edge, the sacred Daoist land, with numerous unattached sages,

How could he be defiled by such means?

But as Lin Kongxin was about to say something,

Wu Tian sighed: “Too late, too late; counting down from thirty, you’re going to die, now, say goodbye to your father properly.”

What?

Lin Kongxin was stunned, then laughed.

Counting down from thirty,

And then he would be finished?

He felt vigorous, breathing smoothly, full of energy,

But the young fellow started counting anyway,

“Thirty!”

“Twenty-nine!”

“Twenty-eight!”

“…”

“Three!”

The count had reached “three”,

Lin Kongxin wore a smug look, pulling Lin Zhongtian, wanting him to stand while persuading: “Father, this person is a fraud, look, am I not alright? This means…”

“One!”

Simultaneously, the young fellow finished counting “one”,

Lin Kongxin suddenly felt something, mid-sentence he stopped, his gaze shifting from calm to panic.
