PFC Chapter 316 The Youngest Hall
Chapter 316 The Youngest Hall
"Greetings, Master Niu..."
The Lin family members all bowed and greeted Niu Xingxing respectfully.
This scene left everyone at the ball speechless.
The Lin family is a top family in the West District, yet they treat the illegitimate son of a third-rate family with such deference...
Why is that?
"How is this possible?" The young masters were dumbfounded, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
They had hoped to see the Lin family fly into a rage and angrily drive Niu Xingxing out.
However, this was completely unexpected and even extremely frightening!
"What's going on? Why aren't the Lin family members angry? Instead, they're treating a third-rate family's illegitimate son with such courtesy..."
"What is it about a mere illegitimate child that makes such important people treat him like this? I simply can't understand it!"
The young men were shocked, bewildered, and unable to accept it.
On the other side, He Huihui, who was ready to watch the show, froze in place.
Her mouth was agape, her eyes were wide open, and she even forgot to breathe.
This time, she was utterly shocked.
It was precisely because I knew Niu Xingxing before that I was so shocked by this contrast.
“Niu Xingxing… what exactly is his identity?” He Huihui’s mind was racing, and her body was trembling.
"It is a great honor for Master Niu to grace our Lin family with his presence today," Lin Zhengyu of the Lin family said with a smile.
"However, how could you sneak in without our knowledge? You have been kind to the Lin family, so it is only right that we give you a grand welcome."
Niu Xingxing was overwhelmed by the Lin family's enthusiasm.
At this point, the guests at the ball finally realized what was happening.
It turns out that the mysterious person the important figures were waiting for was actually Niu Xingxing, the illegitimate son of the third-rate Niu family...
"A lowly illegitimate son with a terrible reputation, are the Lin family blind? Why are they so respectful to him?" The young master who initially questioned him looked gloomy, unable to accept this fact.
"Damn it, how come such trash can be favored by Lin Qingxue? Why can't I?" The young master stared at Niu Xingxing, filled with jealousy and resentment.
Xiao Chen sensed something and glanced at him.
At a glance, the young master was visibly shaken.
In that instant, he felt as if he were staring into the eyes of an incredibly terrifying being. His heart tightened, his breath caught in his throat, and he instinctively looked away.
"Huh? Why should I be afraid of him?" After Niu Xingxing withdrew his gaze, the young master became annoyed.
"Young Master He..." Lin Qingxue called out with a smile.
"Do you know how distinguished a guest Niu Xingxing is in the Lin family...?"
"Do you know how much kindness he has shown to my Lin family?"
Do you know what an unparalleled and exalted position he holds!
Lin Qingxue rarely gets angry.
When she smiled and questioned him in a deep voice, word by word, it gave people a great sense of oppression.
Young Master He's face turned pale instantly.
"Anyone who disrespects Niu Xingxing or harbors ill intentions is an enemy of the Lin family!" she said emphatically, her voice echoing throughout the entire ballroom.
Young Master He's face turned extremely ugly.
“That’s right, anyone who harbors ill intentions towards Master Niu is an enemy of the Lin family!” Lin Ziqiu, the most respected member of the Lin family, repeated with a stern face.
His aura was naturally more terrifying than Lin Qingxue's.
For a moment, the ballroom fell silent.
Clearly, the guests did not expect the Lin family to go to such lengths for Niu Xingxing.
"Young Master He, the Lin family does not welcome you. Please leave." Lin Zhengyu said with a long face, issuing an order to leave.
"For the sake of my acquaintance with your father, I'll give you a piece of advice: in the future, when you see this Master Niu, show him some respect, and don't ruin the family business that your ancestors worked so hard to build..."
Lin Zhengyu's words surprised the guests.
The He family is considered a prominent family in the western district.
In the past, the Lin family and the He family had a harmonious relationship and many collaborations. But now, because the young master of the He family said a few words to Niu Xingxing, they have completely broken off relations!
Moreover, the warning from the Lin family patriarch is quite intriguing.
Could it be that this guy surnamed Niu can destroy an entire family so easily?
"Good! Very good! You've gone to such lengths for a mere illegitimate son of the Niu family!" Young Master He's face turned pale, his anger surging.
He considered himself far superior to Niu Xingxing.
"Fine, since the Lin family doesn't welcome me, I'm too lazy to stay any longer."
"But Patriarch Lin's advice is a joke. No matter how carefully you treat this illegitimate son of the Niu family, he is just a distinguished guest of your Lin family. My He family is a prominent family in the West District. Why should we respect him?"
"Ha, not even the head of the Niu family is worthy of such praise!"
Young Master He didn't take Niu Xingxing seriously and found the Lin family ridiculous.
"They really don't know their place!" The Lin family members were furious upon hearing this, and Lin Ziqiu was so angry that he blew up his beard.
"What makes your He family so great? Do you even know how revered Master Niu is? If your He family elders knew who you'd offended, they'd beat you to a pulp!" Lin Ziqiu roared.
"If Master Niu were to lose his temper, destroying the He family would be a piece of cake!"
Lin Ziqiu's words stunned Young Master He.
This also stunned the guests.
"Mr. Lin, may I ask what the identity of this third young master of the Niu family is?" someone asked cautiously, not daring to use the term "illegitimate son of the Niu family."
"I cannot reveal his identity, and you need not speculate. Just regard Master Niu as a national-level scholar of the highest caliber..." Lin Ziqiu said.
"What? A national hero!!"
Instantly, the guests' eyes widened in surprise.
National scholar...
A national hero of the highest caliber!
In the entire Xia Kingdom, how many national heroes are there? Let alone those of the Hall of Fame level...
Which one of them wasn't high above, meticulously cared for by the Xia Kingdom...
Xiao Chen frowned slightly.
It's clear that Li Wannian had spoken to the Lin family.
"The illegitimate son of the Niu family is actually a national hero of the highest caliber!" No one was not shocked, no one was not stunned.
"My God! Our West District has produced such a young, nationally renowned scholar!" Some people were almost going crazy.
What an honor this is for the West District!
"No wonder...no wonder Mr. Lin said those things..."
People looked at Niu Xingxing with complicated expressions.
“A national hero…” Young Master He’s face turned deathly pale in an instant, and large beads of sweat dripped down his face.
"He's actually a national hero!" He Huihui, who hadn't left yet, felt her blood rush to her head and almost fainted from fright.
Because that's really terrifying!
Such a young, distinguished scholar is truly terrifying to contemplate.
These celebrities in the West End are already out of their reach.
A national hero is an even more distant and sublime title!
He Huihui couldn't understand how a classmate who was so unbearable in high school could suddenly become a high-ranking national hero!
"Alright, everyone, quiet down. Master Niu himself doesn't like to make a fuss, and I just blurted it out in my excitement. I hope you all will keep your mouths shut and not spread it around after we leave," Lin Ziqiu said loudly.
He noticed that Niu Xingxing looked displeased, realized he had spoken out of turn, and looked embarrassed.
“That’s for sure…” the guests replied.
However, it remains to be seen how many people will ultimately comply.
Such explosive news is bound to attract attention and discussion.
"Men, throw Young Master He out!" Lin Zhengyu shouted coldly.
This time, the Lin family is no longer willing to give them face.
Two people immediately went over and helped Young Master He out.
Young Master He showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever; on the contrary, he was very cooperative.
He was terrified and felt extremely frightened.
I almost offended a national hero of the highest caliber...
Exiting in this way is a hundred times better than being resented and pursued by the other party.
"Miss He, why aren't you leaving yet?" Lin Qingxue asked when she saw He Huihui standing there in a daze.
"I'm leaving right away..." He Huihui said with an awkward smile.
She gave Niu Xingxing a complicated look, then left the Lin family dejectedly.
At the ball, Niu Xingxing's true identity as a national hero was revealed, and he instantly became the object of everyone's admiration.
Celebrities from all walks of life crowded around him, wanting to strike up a conversation.
Xiao Chen was impatient, and the Lin family quickly took the brother and sister to a quiet place.
The celebrities must be very disappointed.
"The fact that an illegitimate son of a third-rate family has become an extremely revered national hero will surely shake the entire western district... The Niu family, I don't know whether to be happy or worried..." someone said with amusement.
