Chapter 117 Ingratitude

Calm down!

Calm down!

I must stay calm!

I absolutely cannot let anger cloud my judgment; if that happens, there won't be any chance left.

As for the last question, I must have answered it correctly; clouds are white!

As for why Master Xu Gu insisted that Jiang Chenfeng was correct, it was clearly because Master Xu Gu had developed a favorable impression of Jiang Chenfeng.

Now, let alone Jiang Chenfeng pretending to be mysterious, even if Jiang Chenfeng were to fart, Master Xu Gu would say it smells good.

How on earth did it come to this?

Lin Tian recalled everything from beginning to end, carefully pondering the reason.

Suddenly.

His eyes lit up; he had found the answer!

Although Master Xu Gu claimed on the surface that he did not like people who sycophantically flattered others.

In reality, he was a hypocrite.

In other words, Master Xu Gu actually loved it when others flattered him, he just wouldn't admit it!

Having figured this out, a smile curled on Lin Tian's lips. He had already thought of a solution. He bowed respectfully to Master Xu Gu and said, "Senior Master Xu Gu, I am completely convinced!"

"But I didn't lose to Jiang Chenfeng; I was defeated by your great wisdom, Senior Master Xu Gu! Only someone with great wisdom like yours could ask such a profound question that sounds so simple!"

"Even if I spent my whole life, I could never catch up to even a fraction of you, Senior! My admiration for you cannot be expressed in words..."

Although Lin Tian was fawning over him with outward respect, he was still very unhappy inside.

What kind of bullshit question did this Old Thing come up with?

Wouldn't it be better if you just said straight out what you wanted to test?

Why must you speak in riddles!

Just to make yourself look inscrutable!

"I have said more than once that I am someone who does not like people who flatter others!" Master Xu Gu said coldly.

He had Clear Heart Perception.

He could see through it at a glance; Lin Tian's flattery was not sincere at all!

This was just sycophancy!

How could he possibly give a good look to such a sycophantic villain?

Lin Tian, completely unaware, continued, "Senior Master Xu Gu, I am just speaking the truth; I absolutely have no intention of deliberately flattering you! Your great wisdom is something I could never catch up to in my entire life. If you think I am flattering you, you are truly wronging me..."

"Shut up! Shut up!"

Master Xu Gu's face was extremely gloomy, the anger in his eyes clearly visible, and he gritted his teeth, "I think you really take me for a three-year-old child to fool! Do you really think I can't tell you are flattering me? Do you think I am one of those vulgar people who would accept your fawning?"

Lin Tian felt Master Xu Gu's anger and knew that Master Xu Gu was truly furious, so he said tremblingly, "I... I... I didn't..."

"You didn't? Do you think I don't know what you are thinking? I think you are looking down on my Clear Heart Perception, aren't you?"

"I would never dare, Senior!"

"Say no more!" Master Xu Gu raised his hand to stop him, turned his head, and said to Jiang Chenfeng, "Young man, I am very satisfied with you; this restoration pill is yours!"

"Thank you, Senior!" Jiang Chenfeng felt a surge of joy.

Seeing Master Xu Gu hand over the pill, he quickly reached out to take it, feeling a sense of relief inside.

As long as he took this pill, he could immediately restore his strength.

But when he caught a glimpse of Yu Heng out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly frowned, thinking of some things.

[This woman seems to be called Luo Chanyi, right? She seems to have a blood feud, and even her soul has been cursed by her enemy!]

[It's just because she thinks Lin Tian can help her get revenge that she is so loyal to him; come to think of it, she is a pitiful girl!]

[Before, she could clearly have abandoned Lin Tian to escape on her own, yet she still chose to follow Lin Tian and jump off the cliff. Such a loyal subordinate ended up with a superior like Lin Tian; a person like Lin Tian is simply unworthy of a subordinate like Luo Chanyi!]

Jiang Chenfeng looked at Luo Chanyi with complicated eyes, then looked down at the restoration pill in his palm.

He could feel that Luo Chanyi's current situation was very bad; if it continued like this, she would likely perish.

Unless Luo Chanyi took this restoration pill, she could not continue to live!

"Senior, I wonder if I can gift this restoration pill to someone else?" Jiang Chenfeng took a deep breath and asked seriously.

"Hmm? Who do you want to gift it to?" Master Xu Gu was clearly stunned for a moment and subconsciously glanced at Lin Tian.

Lin Tian also perked up; he had originally been dejected, but upon hearing Jiang Chenfeng's words, he immediately became invigorated.

He looked at Jiang Chenfeng with burning eyes and said solemnly, "Jiang Chenfeng! As long as you are willing to give the restoration pill to me, I can let bygones be bygones regarding the past. The grievances between us will be written off from here on out!"

Although he said this with his mouth, what he was thinking in his heart was that once he recovered his strength, he would have plenty of ways to deal with Jiang Chenfeng!

He could choose not to pursue past matters, but that didn't mean he would become friends with Jiang Chenfeng in the future.

With his strength, wanting to deal with Jiang Chenfeng was simply too easy!

[Hurry up! Jiang Chenfeng, you bastard, why haven't you given the restoration pill to me yet?]

[Don't worry, once I recover my strength, I guarantee I'll leave your corpse intact!]

Lying on the ground, Luo Chanyi's eyelids trembled slightly; she had already woken up.

It was just that she didn't have the strength to make a sound!

"Senior, do you agree to let me gift it away?" Jiang Chenfeng asked.

This restoration pill was, after all, Master Xu Gu's item; even if he wanted to gift it, he had to seek Master Xu Gu's opinion.

"Of course I agree! But I don't recommend you do this. If you give the restoration pill to such a villain, he won't necessarily be grateful to you; he is very likely to repay kindness with ingratitude!" Master Xu Gu shot a sidelong glance at Lin Tian, seeing through Lin Tian's thoughts, and felt compelled to offer a warning.

Clear Heart Perception could see through people's true thoughts!

Although it couldn't hear the other person's inner voice, after cultivating to the highest realm, it could also see through the other person's general true thoughts.

"That won't happen! Senior Master Xu Gu, you misunderstand me too deeply. How could I, Lin Tian, be an ungrateful villain?"

Lin Tian quickly shook his head, defending himself, and then said to Jiang Chenfeng, "Give it to me! Give the restoration pill to me, and I won't hold the past against you anymore! There is no life-or-death enmity between us; as long as you give me the restoration pill, I can agree to any condition of yours!"

[Give it to me! You good-for-nothing! What are you still hesitating for? Aren't you just trying to use this restoration pill to curry favor with me?]

[Besides giving this restoration pill to me, who else could you give it to? Who else here is more suitable for this pill than me?]
