Chapter 146: Chapter 146: A Minor Disturbance

Mr. Lin’s words left all of us stunned.

Indeed, worthy of being Lin Xue’s grandfather, even though he resembles an accomplished hermit with his demeanor, this ability to unwittingly cause huge trouble for others really is identical to Lin Xue’s—could this be the inherited special ability of the Lin Family?

We had thought that with the old man stepping in, the situation would be smoothly resolved, but not only did Mr. Lin misunderstand my relationship with Lin Xue even more deeply, but he also opened it up to a headache-inducing extent—of course, this might also be his way of testing me to confirm whether Chen Someone truly is a total scoundrel.

No matter the reason, I must staunchly defend my reputation!

Though there isn’t much left…

“Father!” I hadn’t even begun to speak when Lin Dingfeng hurriedly interrupted Lin Yangtian’s words, “Please think this over, our Lin Family may not bully others with our power, nor do we have excessive prejudices, but how can we entrust Little Xue’s lifelong happiness to such an obscure young man? Especially since he is so prone to…”

“If the two young people truly love each other from the bottom of their hearts, we shouldn’t obstruct them, right?” Mr. Lin appeared surprisingly progressive, even to an unreasonable extent, “Of course, I’m not saying I allow him to date Little Xue, just that seeing how Little Xue defends this young man (…where did you see that?), I suddenly want to give him a chance, as for being prone to… haha, being affectionate and being flirty are not the same, sometimes having many girls around doesn’t mean someone is insincere, if this young man named Chen Jun can pass my test, then…”

“No, for a prominent family’s precious daughter like the Lin Family, how can she belittle herself by being with an unknown youth? Not just any nobody, even a highly prominent figure should not demean Little Xue like this! Father, this matter…”

“What… what…” I interjected awkwardly, “May I say something?”

“No!”

“But it wouldn’t hurt to say!”

At this moment, a fierce clash erupted between two generations, and ultimately the old master’s authority triumphed—I finally got a chance to interject.

“Well, what I wanted to say is, there’s really nothing between me and Lin Xue, this is all some people fearing the world won’t be in chaos…”

“Young man, whom are you talking about!” Liu Zicai immediately responded loudly, totally disregarding whether his actions might displease the old master, proving Ding Ling absolutely right in calling him Pighead Three.

At this moment, Ding Bai also freed himself from his sister’s entanglement and came over to cause more trouble, “Grandpa Lin, although I don’t know what Miss Little Xue sees in this Chen Jun, this man is indeed not worthy of the Lin Family’s young lady, and such a matter, once spread, might even become a laughingstock…”

Alright, I’m truly getting angry now.

It seems from the very beginning I’ve been placed in the position of an undeserving suitor coveting a beauty, and moreover, with both the left claiming ‘unworthy’ and the right ‘an unimportant nobody,’ while maintaining a stance of impartiality and eloquence but speaking such oppressively biased words, and that too, in front of Sandora and Qianqian—Lin Xue’s parents I can somewhat understand, given it concerns their precious daughter, their demeanor has already been quite polite and restrained, but Ding Bai and Liu Zicai… such minor characters also dare to provoke me?

But before I could respond, Sandora had already stood up, speaking to Lin Dingfeng in a tone cold as ice, “Mr. Lin, perhaps you can’t accept the customs of our country, but to denigrate my love in front of me—no woman can accept this, I need an apology from you, a formal apology!”

“An apology?” Lin Dingfeng hadn’t even spoken, when Liu Zicai let out a cold snort, “Why should we? You choose poorly yourself, and others aren’t allowed to speak the truth? He’s just a poor, uncouth, pathetic nobody; today Uncle Lin brought him here to discuss this matter instead of just dealing with him in secret already shows great respect, you’re a princess, one who stands above tens of thousands, so what? This isn’t your territory, don’t think…”

His words abruptly stopped because Sandora had ghost-like moved past everyone to his side, grabbing his neck tightly with one hand.

I noticed Lin Yangtian’s expression change immediately upon seeing Sandora’s skills, appearing quite shocked, and even more curious.

Sandora, unconcerned with the gazes around her, spoke in an exceedingly cold voice to the Liu Zicai in her grip, “You’ve made two huge mistakes, the biggest one being you dare to slander Ah Jun, which is enough to cause your death, second, you failed to maintain adequate respect, which will bring more unnecessary suffering to your path of death!”

“You… you dare to attack…” Liu Zicai was astonished at the foreign princess’s skills, but he was even more shocked by the killing intent he saw in her eyes—perhaps this was the first time he was so close to such overwhelming murderous intent, the sweet-looking girl in front of him now seemed incredibly terrifying!

Dare Sandora openly kill someone in broad daylight?

Perhaps some present might not believe it, but I absolutely do.

Lin Yangtian, and perhaps even Lin Dingfeng, might believe it. They had weathered many storms, and killing, for them, might not be so inconceivable—although it was indeed hard to believe that a girl with a princess’ title would do such a thing.

“You say, do I dare to kill you? Haha… Who dares come forward? I don’t mind crushing any life form here!”

These words stunned Lin Yangtian who was used to grand scenes—was this something a well-educated noble princess should say? Or was it that this princess had always been hiding her madness?

But from Sandora’s tone, he heard no jokes or madness, it was a complete statement of facts, explaining the actions she was about to take.

The temperature in the room seemed to drop sharply, and everyone was so pressured by Sandora’s genuine killing intent that they couldn’t raise their heads.

Wait! The temperature really was dropping!

Sandora was gathering energy!

“Chen Jun, do something quick!” Lin Xue’s anxious voice suddenly came through spiritual connection, “Sandora is serious! I can see that in one minute, there will be a frozen nova eruption at minus 200 degrees Celsius! The whole residence will turn into ruins!”

Ding Ling finally couldn’t keep acting like a vase at this moment, she threw a surprised look at Sandora, seemingly taking the current temperature drop for the other’s superpower, and then suddenly screamed.

Perhaps others would take it as a girl’s frightened scream, but I could clearly feel, a powerful energy surged toward Sandora.

This energy did not diffuse at all, it didn’t even cause any scratches on the surrounding furniture. From such terrifying control of energy, I could tell Ding Ling’s strength.

But it seemed Ding Ling had no intent to kill, her gathered energy, although directed at Sandora, was slightly off-target, probably just meant as a warning.

Highly compressed sound resonances like invisible blades arrived beside Sandora, and then were scattered into pieces by a strong spiritual power.

This was only a scene in our eyes, in the eyes of ordinary people like Ding Bai, what they saw was merely Sandora gripping Liu Zicai’s neck with extreme speed and strength, causing Ding Ling to scream in fright.

As for the cooling in the room, it wasn’t very noticeable now, perhaps the ordinary people in a state of chaos might accidentally overlook it.

“Sandora, calm down!” I finally spoke up, and interfered with the low-temperature force field that Sandora was gathering with my own spiritual power—although when it came to precision, Sandora’s spiritual skill was much stronger than mine, but in terms of spiritual strength, suppressing her was not a problem for me.

At the same time, Qianqian also swiftly took action. Sandora might disregard the life and death of all carbon-based life forms apart from us few, but Qianqian, still a human, couldn’t just watch Sandora run amok. A small-scale time-stop force field was applied around Sandora to prevent any accidental discharge.

“…You’re lucky—next time, I will crush you in an instant!”

Sandora said viciously, and then flung Liu Zicai’s body, now stiff from fear, outwards.

Ordinary people might not feel it, but Lin Xue and Ding Ling knew very well just how dangerous it had been—this is exactly the most troublesome issue I’ve always faced, whether it’s Sandora, Pandora, or even Little Baobao Alaya for them, apart from me, Qianqian, my sister, and Lin Xue, who they see as an ally, no other carbon-based life on this planet holds any value. They don’t disregard life, but simply don’t regard carbon-based life forms as life. When they first came to Earth, this situation was even worse, just like humans don’t regard stones as their kind, the huge differences in races make them even unaware that Earthlings are also a form of life. Although recently, due to my efforts, they have grudgingly come to recognize Earthlings as intelligent beings, their disregard for human life is still hard to change.

At this moment, Lin Yangtian suddenly spoke up, using a tone filled with reproach towards Liu Zicai and Ding Bai, “Both of you have received higher education, how could you be so impolite? This time, although Princess Sandora’s reaction was a bit extreme, it was also a natural response to protect her lover; the biggest fault still lies with you!”

I found that I really didn’t quite understand why from the beginning this old Master Lin had always been speaking out for me. If it was just because of doting on his granddaughter and indulging us young ones who are very close to Lin Xue—then that truly was a bit overly indulgent.
