Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 567 - 539: Three Advantages

This battle was breathtaking, Lin Tian hadn't expected it to drag in the infighting of the Tianxia Alliance. Important figures of the alliance, Marquis Ouyang, Fairy Zixia, Second Master, and Fourth Master all appeared before Lin Tian, making him feel as if he were in a dream.

However, fortunately, he killed Liang Dong and avenged a great wrong!

This battle, had it not been for a twist of fate, Lin Tian and the likes of Fang Shaoxiong would have basically turned into corpses. He should also reflect; he had been too careless, which is why he and his brothers had ended up in such a perilous situation.

"In the future, never be careless again. It's not just about putting yourself at risk, but also bringing your brothers into danger with you. This is a lesson, and I must remember it next time," Lin Tian thought to himself.

Lin Tian and Wang Ying got into Fang Shaoxiong's war chariot, and Fang Shaoxiong said, "Big brother, today's battle was truly thrilling. We barely escaped with our lives. Now that we've made it out alive, we should celebrate. What do you say, what should we eat, what should we do?"

Lin Tian didn't speak, but looked towards Wang Ying.

Wang Ying didn't stand on ceremony and said, "Brother Shaoxiong, how about we go for seafood? After that, how about we go sing KTV?"

"Good idea!" Everyone agreed unanimously.

Then, Fang Shaoxiong asked, "Big brother, what does the Alliance Hierarch want with you? Someone of his stature, it can't be anything good."

"Exactly," Wang Ying agreed, nodding on the side. "Big brother, maybe we shouldn't go tomorrow. Better to stay out of trouble. Someone of his stature surely has a temper, and if you say something wrong and he gets hurt, what are we going to do?"

Lin Tian laughed and said, "It's fine, what's there to worry about? If it wasn't for Marquis Ouyang and Fairy Zixia today, we would have been dead. My life is basically saved by Marquis Ouyang and Fairy Zixia. If they want it, they can take it."

"Besides, they won't do anything to me. If they had wanted to harm me, why would they save me? So, you guys don't need to worry. Tomorrow, I will return safely and in one piece. Besides, I can also enjoy the feast of the Tianxia Alliance."

Fang Shaoxiong and Wang Ying both nodded in agreement, Lin Tian was right, so they also stopped worrying about it.

They went for the seafood, more than a hundred people, directly booking out a huge seafood restaurant.

Four-pound lobsters, six-pound crabs, drinking turtle wine, everyone ate to their hearts' content.

Afterward, they went to sing KTV. Surprisingly, Fang Shaoxiong could sing quite well, his rendition of "Because of Love" captivated everyone. The princesses in the neighboring rooms were so enchanted by Fang Shaoxiong that they nearly offered themselves to him.

Everyone was delighted, very comfortable, after enduring a life-and-death struggle, from now on, they would share a bond of life and death, brothers for life.

..., ....

The next day at nine in the morning, Lin Tian arrived at the Zixia Club on time. Fairy Zixia personally came to meet him, and the staff of Zixia Club bowed and greeted Lin Tian, giving him a feeling akin to that of an emperor.

He took the elevator to the thirteenth floor, then climbed a flight of stairs to reach the fourteenth floor.

Upon reaching the fourteenth floor, Lin Tian's scalp tingled, and he stood still at the edge of the stairs. He still remembered the terrifying traps of the fourteenth floor; Crossbow Arrows shot at him as if they had eyes, buzzing past him.

Fairy Zixia cautioned, "The fourteenth floor is filled with traps. Follow me, and you'll be safe."

With a big leap, she landed on a wooden plank situated at 68 degrees to the left front.

The plank didn't sink, it was safe.

"Follow my leap."

Fairy Zixia took another big leap, this time landing on a wooden plank at 34 degrees on the right-hand side.

Lin Tian followed closely, leaping like a frog back and forth in the empty corridor.

Fairy Zixia moved lightly like a swallow, used to jumping, her face not red, her breath not quickened.

This was Lin Tian's first time walking this way, a bit clumsy and panting heavily.

Now he finally understood why Fairy Zixia's figure was so good; this kind of leaping, much more effective than running or practicing yoga.

After leaping through an entire corridor, they reached a room at the very end of the fourteenth floor, where Fairy Zixia opened the door.

Inside was a large round table with more than a dozen types of mountains and seas' delicacies laid out, most of which Lin Tian had never even seen before.

The room was filled with a fragrant aroma, and he felt like drooling.

Marquis Ouyang was seated at the head of the round table, waiting for Lin Tian. He looked much better today than the day before.

Lin Tian walked in and respectfully greeted, "Greetings, Alliance Hierarch."

Marquis Ouyang pointed to a stool beside him, gesturing for Lin Tian to sit down.

Fairy Zixia took on the role of a maid, opened a bottle of fine wine, and poured it for the two of them.

Marquis Ouyang said, "Come, try this. A forty-seven-year-old vintage."

"Forty-seven years old, even older than my age," Lin Tian exclaimed, while Fairy Zixia laughed beside him, finding his reaction quite amusing.

He hurriedly tasted it, and sadly, such fine wine was wasted on Lin Tian. He didn't understand wine; he couldn't tell the difference between a forty-seven-year-old vintage and a ten-yuan bottle of Rioja.

This was awkward.

Conventionally, when Marquis Ouyang treated Lin Tian to such fine wine, Lin Tian was supposed to act as if the wine was exquisite, perhaps offer some commentary and thank Marquis Ouyang profusely.

But Lin Tian knew that Marquis Ouyang was seasoned in the ways of the Jianghu; he could see right through someone's little tricks. If Lin Tian were to excessively praise the wine, and Marquis Ouyang realized he knew nothing about wine, it might leave a disingenuous impression.

After some thought, Lin Tian decided to be his truest self, not insincere, not pretentious. If he didn't understand, then he simply didn't understand.

To know what you know and what you do not know, that is true knowledge!

Scratching his head, Lin Tian said, "Alliance Hierarch, this...um, I don't think I understand wine, you know! But this wine of yours is quite fragrant, tastes much better than the Rioja they sell outside."

Fairy Zixia, fuming, cut in front of Marquis Ouyang and said, "Such fine wine, my dad doesn't even have many bottles, and you dare to compare it with Rioja, it's a waste of this wine."

Lin Tian's face was lined with frustration as he had no retort to Fairy Zixia's accusation. He himself admitted drinking such a noble wine was a waste.

"Don't be unreasonable," Marquis Ouyang said sternly to Fairy Zixia. Then he turned to Lin Tian and said, "What a good kid, honest, no fakery, speaks his mind, much better than those who hide knives behind their smiles."

To think that by simply being honest, Lin Tian gained the Hierarch's endorsement. Thankfully, Confucius hadn't misled us.

To know what you know and what you do not know, that is true knowledge!

This saying still holds its value in today's society.

Then, Marquis Ouyang had Lin Tian try some of the signature dishes here, and they were indeed delicious. Compared to those made by five-star hotels, those seemed rather low in standard.

With Marquis Ouyang being so courteous, Lin Tian felt somewhat embarrassed. He was eating, but felt uneasy, thinking: Alliance Hierarch, if you have something to say, say it quickly. You didn't invite me here just to have dinner, right?

After a round of pleasantries, Marquis Ouyang finally got to the point.

"Lin Tian, as an outstanding post-90s individual, besides managing Tianyi Pharma, what else do you keep busy with?"

"That's a hard one..."

Truth be told, Lin Tian barely managed Tianyi Pharma. He had another identity as Nidhogg, but he couldn't tell that to Marquis Ouyang.

He said, "I don't really do anything significant, just idling around, drinking, chatting, making friends, traveling, and enjoying nature."

Marquis Ouyang nodded and continued, "I see you as a talent. Managing Tianyi Pharma seems like an underuse of your abilities. How about joining our Tianxia Alliance? What do you say?"

Lin Tian was taken aback, his pupils dilated rapidly. What...what? Marquis Ouyang was actually inviting him to join the Tianxia Alliance.

The former chief said Lin Tian was a talent, and now Marquis Ouyang said so too. Neither of them was ordinary, their judgement should be quite accurate. But Lin Tian found it odd, where did he seem like a talent?

Aside from being handsome, he felt utterly useless.

"Well..." Lin Tian asked a bit sheepishly, "Alliance Hierarch, you say I am a talent, but I don't feel I have any exceptional qualities. Could you tell me what attracted you to me?"

Joining Nidhogg was trouble enough; he certainly didn't want to join Tianxia Alliance. He had only met Marquis Ouyang a few times, with no more than a hundred sentences exchanged between them. Lin Tian really wanted to know what Marquis Ouyang saw in him. Couldn't he just change?

Marquis Ouyang raised three fingers and said, "Three reasons."

Three reasons? Lin Tian hadn't even noticed that many good points about himself.

He listened closely.

"First, at such a young age, you have already reached the strength of half-step Condensed Mirror. Just for this alone, you are streets ahead of your peers."

Lin Tian nodded in agreement with Marquis Ouyang's statement on this point.

"Second, you are decisive in love and hate, relentless in vengeance and gratitude. Even in perilous situations, nothing stops you from seeking revenge. I admire this determination of yours."

Emma, Lin Tian wasn't quite in agreement with this point. Being ruthless in revenge and reciprocal in gratitude was his style, but sometimes, this wasn't a good thing. Just like yesterday, had Fairy Zixia and Marquis Ouyang not shown up in time, he and his hundred-plus brothers would've been doomed. He was considering changing his style, yet to Marquis Ouyang, it became an admirable point.

Though he didn't agree with Marquis Ouyang, Lin Tian didn't dare to object and could only listen quietly by the side.

"Third, and most importantly, you have loyalty and care for your brothers. You would take a dagger to the side for them. Yesterday, you found yourself in a precarious situation, but in order to save your brothers, you were willing to stay behind alone, using your life to trade for theirs. This, I truly respect."

In the underworld, brotherhood is what counts, and Marquis Ouyang, being the leader of Tianxia Alliance, definitely had his brotherly loyalty down pat.

But as time passed and interests conflicted, some gradually forgot 'brotherhood,' like Zuo Yunfei, which saddened Marquis Ouyang.
