"I don’t mind killing you!"

The elder’s gaze was more than just fierce and homicidal.

When Lin Tian’s eyes met his, he felt a sharp pain shoot directly to his brain, stimulating his nerves.

As his head throbbed with pain, he also felt restless and agitated.

In an instant, Lin Tian realized that this was not some cultivation technique or inner strength.

It was a Heart Demon!

Unexpectedly, this Heart Demon was so powerful that it could affect the elder’s mind and others as well.

No idea how this old man managed to endure it all these years.

Then, Lin Tian quickly channeled the ’Tyrant Emperor’s Record’ to use his spiritual qi to dispel these negative emotions. At the same time, his eyes widened, and his spiritual qi flashed like thunder, directly causing the elder’s eyes to sting, making him scream miserably.

"Heh." Lin Tian laughed, "Old man, let you taste a bit of your own medicine."

The elder quickly recovered. To Lin Tian’s surprise, he didn’t get angry but instead laughed, "Interesting. I really underestimated you... Lin Tian."

"What did you call me?" Lin Tian was momentarily stunned, then laughed, "You must have mistaken me for someone else, right?"

"Mistaken you? Do you think I’d make such a basic mistake? There are too many things about you that prove you are Lin Tian. You have many masks that can change your appearance, and your relationships with these women. Maybe your face can fool others, but it can’t fool me."

Lin Tian rubbed his nose, realizing he couldn’t hide anymore, and said with a wry smile, "What do you want to do now that you know? Ask me to hand over those herbs?"

"I’m not that bored. I’m not interested in either of those things you mentioned. Even if you don’t return those herbs to us, the Wang Family, the Yue Family, and the Xu Family will still compensate us. Our Alliance won’t suffer any loss."

The elder’s mouth curled up slightly, smiling like a devil, "But, I can reveal your identity to the other families. I assume they would be quite interested in the herbs you possess."

"Oh? So now you’re threatening me?" Lin Tian laughed.

"Just giving you a taste of your own medicine."

"You wouldn’t do that." Lin Tian said.

"Why?"

"Because of your character—proud and arrogant—you disdain such underhanded tactics." Lin Tian said.

"Don’t try to flatter me. No matter how well you butter me up, I’ll do what I think necessary. I’ll kill those who need to be killed! Whether you can protect her is up to your skills."

With that, the old man flipped over, got off the game motorcycle, and with a flick of his sleeve, was about to walk away.

Lin Tian rolled his eyes instantly, thinking why is this old man so stubborn?

"Hey, old man, wait." Lin Tian called out.

The elder turned his body, looking impatiently at Lin Tian, "Spit it out!"

"If I had anything to say, I would have said it already. What about the ’Ren Du Golden Elixir’ you promised me? Hand it over!" Lin Tian extended his hand.

"And the cultivation technique you’re supposed to give me?" The elder also extended his hand.

Lin Tian chuckled, "You give it to me first, then I’ll give you mine. I can’t defeat you; if you just snatch it, I can’t do anything about it."

"Hmph! Am I that kind of person?" As he spoke, the elder reached into his pocket and directly took out the ’Ren Du Golden Elixir.’ It was a copy from the auction; he wasn’t patient enough to write another copy.

"Take out yours and let me see it."

Lin Tian shrugged, shaking his head, "It’s at home; I didn’t bring it out. Next time!"

"Heh, a junior trying to deceive me with such a simple lie? You’ve been hiding in that villa for these past few days, besides alchemy and cultivation, you only engage in those obscene acts with women. Do you think I would believe you?" The elder said disdainfully.

"What the heck?" Lin Tian pointed at the elder, immediately cursing, "You’re an old bag of bones, do you have no shame? It’s embarrassing! Watching me do alchemy and cultivate is one thing! But why are you even peeking at... at my private life!"

Thinking about how his private life with Liou Qingcheng was spied on by the old man made Lin Tian feel very uncomfortable!

"Bah! With a mind as dirty as yours and so many beauties around you, even my toes can predict what you’re up to!"

"You didn’t see anything?"

"Aside from your alchemy and cultivation, I’m not interested in anything else!"

Lin Tian scrutinized him from head to toe and back again, finally uttering one sentence, "Could it be you’re physically abnormal?"

Upon hearing this, the elder’s temples throbbed with anger. He gritted his teeth, and his knuckles cracked with fury.

He closed his eyes, quickly recited the Heart Method Lin Tian had given him several times, and only then did the murderous intent subside.

Otherwise, he surely would have punched Lin Tian into the gaming screen, never to be pried out!

"You should be dead just now! I didn’t kill you, so you owe me a life now!" the elder said in a low voice. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"What?" Lin Tian’s eyes widened. Such shameless reasoning?

"I just don’t understand; you’ve seen it too, now Mei Ruyan is just an ordinary person. There’s no way she could pose any threat to any family or the Alliance. Why won’t you leave her alone?" Lin Tian asked.

"Heh, kid, it seems you still know too little about the Xu Family! With their family’s nature, even if that little fox is just an ordinary person now, can you assure she will remain so in twenty or thirty years? By then, even I might not be able to contend with her. Could I leave such a threat?"

Lin Tian stepped forward, his expression solemn, and said, "I can guarantee it! She will always be an ordinary person!"

In fact, he couldn’t guarantee anything, but tricking this stubborn old man was the priority!

"Your guarantee is useless to me. Next time we meet, I hope you don’t seek your own death!"

Not waiting for Lin Tian to say more nonsense, the elder flicked his sleeve again, and walked away directly.

Watching him leave, Lin Tian’s brows furrowed deeply.

Can’t defeat the old man, can’t curse him, and to top it off, he’s as stubborn as a mule! This left Lin Tian at his wit’s end.

Choosing not to overthink it, Lin Tian resorted to cursing the elder several times in his mind before returning to Bai Shishi’s side to continue having fun.

They had a great time today. After leaving the arcade, they headed to karaoke, screamed for two hours, and only returned home when the excitement wore off.

On the way back, Lin Tian felt that familiar sensation of being followed again. No need to guess, it must be that old rascal elder glaring like a tiger!

Instantly, every nerve in Lin Tian’s body tensed, fearing the old man might pop out from somewhere and cause trouble.
