Chapter 1244: Chapter 1245: The Attitude of the Four

Faced with Yang Huakun’s provocation, Lin Qian remained composed, sitting calmly at the table while quietly savoring the various delicacies before him.

He even nodded silently during the meal, acknowledging that the flavors were indeed exceptional in their own way.

In the end, one particular dish caught his attention, making his eyes light up, “This dish, the taste is truly amazing, impressive!”

As he spoke, Lin Qian’s gaze turned to the chef, openly expressing his admiration.

In the hall, the chef responsible for preparing fresh ingredients on-site beamed with joy.

As a chef, having one’s cuisine praised is a significant validation.

However, while the chef was happy, Yang Huakun’s face turned ugly.

He was speaking to Lin Qian, yet this human clan member ignored him, focusing on eating and critiquing a chef, completely disregarding him as if he were invisible.

As the prince of Daojiang Country, with exceptional talent and nurtured in luxury, he had never experienced such humiliation.

Moreover, the other party was merely a member of the human clan, a clan he looked down upon, daring to treat him with such disdain.

The Four Clans’ fourth members previously distanced themselves from him because of this person.

Old grudges and new hatreds surfaced in his mind simultaneously, fueling his anger, making his blood boil.

“Don’t you know the prince is speaking to you?” Yang Huakun roared furiously at Lin Qian, reprimanding him.

Only then did Lin Qian seemingly hear his voice, slowly turning around to look in his direction, saying, “What?”

Seeing Lin Qian’s puzzled expression and indifferent demeanor infuriated Yang Huakun.

A nearby genius from the Flame Gold Clan frowned at Lin Qian, “This human clan brother is going too far. The prince of Daojiang Country speaks to you, yet you ignore him. Isn’t that rude?”

“And what if he’s the prince of Daojiang Country? Can he insult and judge whether my human clan is cowardly?” Lin Qian chuckled and shook his head, responding, “If someone called your Flame Gold Clan cowardly, would you still speak calmly to them?”

The Flame Gold Clan member opened his mouth, momentarily at a loss for words.

Reflecting honestly, if someone disparaged his Flame Gold Clan, he wouldn’t speak so calmly.

Lang Mingze, standing nearby, spoke harshly, “Is this still unacceptable to you? If you’re not cowardly or timid, then come and fight the prince, proving yourself!”

Instigation?

Lin Qian remained seated, unmoving, continuing to eat the delicacies before him, casually replying three words.

“You’re not worthy!”

Indeed, from Lin Qian’s perspective, Yang Huakun was not qualified to engage him in combat.

He was the master of the Huaxia Empire, the unparalleled Emperor of the Chaos Universe. Who was Yang Huakun to warrant his attention?

“You…” Yang Huakun pointed at Lin Qian, his chest heaving with anger, unable to utter a single word.

He had seen arrogance, but never at this level.

Yang Huakun, the favored prince, had seen numerous geniuses across the worlds.

But Lin Qian’s arrogance was off the charts.

Not worthy?

The surrounding geniuses, hearing Lin Qian’s words, didn’t look pleased.

They, like Yang Huakun, were considered peers of the same era, comparable figures in external discussions.

Lin Qian stated Yang Huakun was unworthy to fight him; what did that imply about them?

The previously speaking Flame Gold Clan member’s face darkened, addressing Lin Qian, “What do you mean, are we also unworthy to fight you?”

At this moment, Lin Qian realized his three simple words inadvertently implicated others as well.

The Four Clans’ fourth members, who had successfully transitioned their cultivation techniques, opened their eyes.

Though they were in a cultivation state, aware of the surroundings, they fully understood the situation.

The four woke up, all directing their gaze to Lin Qian.

“Earlier words were unintentional, not aimed at you all,” Lin Qian appeared to express regret, though his tone lacked any remorse, rather conveying a natural demeanor, “But the fact remains, none present are worthy of my effort.”

With Lin Qian’s words, it was like stirring a hornet’s nest; the hall erupted.

“Audacious, how dare you!”

“I’ve seen arrogance, but never someone this outrageously conceited.”

“Humans usually don’t show much skill, but your rhetoric is certainly impressive today.”

“Not worthy? What audacity, dare come compete, and you’ll surely spill blood on the spot.”

Many esteemed offspring from various regions voiced their agitation, some even stepping towards Lin Qian aggressively.

These individuals, with fierce expressions and fiery tempers, seemed prepared to confront Lin Qian physically.

Amidst the boiling atmosphere, Lin Qian remained unafraid, continuing to eat, unfazed by the situation.

The Four Clans’ fourth members stood up, joining Lin Qian, observing the commotion.

“Why, are you four protecting this human?”

“Don’t you think this human is detestable? His words included you four as well.”

“Perhaps you four received some favor from this human?”

Seeing the Four Clans’ fourth members standing before this human surprised the onlookers.

The approaching individuals, puzzled and questioning, wondered what these four were up to.

However, the leader among the four, Huan Yue, spoke directly, “What’s wrong with that, he speaks the truth.”

“Indeed, we four aren’t worthy of engaging him either.” Yun Xinghe nodded in agreement.

“Heh, he’s speaking facts. Why be discontent?” Lang Mingze echoed similarly.

Xing Ming remained silent, opened and closed his mouth, then nodded vigorously, clearly in agreement.

The four’s stance and words left the audience stunned, unable to believe it.
