Your classmates haven't taken the college entrance examination yet, but you are carrying bricks

"What? You don't even listen to me?" Lin Zhentian shook his head in disappointment. "I'm old and can't control you young people anymore. But the rules of J City cannot be broken, and no one can be an exception!"

"Besides, the invitation letter was issued by the Zhao family. They are all going back, but you are still licking their cheeks and not returning it. This kind of face is not like our Lin family!"

Lin Zhentian's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely breaking down Lin Dong's psychological defenses.

He collapsed to the ground helplessly, his eyes empty, as if he had lost his soul.

Then he weakly put his hand into his chest and took out the invitation letter he had just received...

"It seems that the elders of your Lin family are still the ones who speak the truth!"

Zhao Linger snorted coldly and took the invitation letter.

Lin Dong slumped on the ground, his eyes lifeless, allowing the invitation letter that symbolized his entry into a higher stage to be snatched away by Zhao Linger.

The Lin family members around him looked at him with regret, ridicule, and mostly gloating.

"Waste! What a waste! I thought he could really soar into the sky, but I didn't expect him to be a useless person!"

"That's right. It's a waste of all the years of cultivation by the Patriarch and the elders. It's really embarrassing!"

"Hehe, that's good now. It's our turn to compete for the position of the second-generation heir. This kid has really helped us a lot!"

All kinds of sarcastic and mocking sounds entered Lin Dong's ears, like sharp knives stabbing his heart.

He clenched his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into the flesh, but he didn't feel any pain at all.

"enough!"

A roar silenced the whispers around him.

Lin Zhentian leaned on his crutches, his cloudy eyes full of disappointment: "Lin Dong, you disappoint me so much! How can you shoulder the future of the Lin family if you don't even have the slightest sense of responsibility?!"

Lin Dong raised his head woodenly, looking at the old face in front of him, and the last glimmer of hope in his heart was shattered.

From childhood to adulthood, his grandfather is the person he admires most and his greatest support.

But today, even grandpa was disappointed in him.

“I…” Lin Dong opened his mouth, but found that he couldn’t say anything.

Yeah, what else can he say?

He was the one who handed over the invitation letter and he was the one who lost his dignity. Now, what qualifications does he have to defend himself?

"Forget it, go back and reflect on your actions. Without my order, you are not allowed to step out of the house!"

Lin Zhentian waved his sleeves, as if he didn't want to look at him any longer, and turned away.

Lin Dong sat dejectedly on the ground, as if all his strength had been drained away, his mind was blank.

But at this moment, he suddenly thought of everything.

The cause of all this is Gu Ci!

Lin Dong's eyes flickered, and he slowly looked towards Gu Ci.

Gu Ci's expression was indifferent at this moment, as if he didn't care about anything that was happening before his eyes.

A fire of humiliation burned fiercely in Lin Dong’s chest.

He had never hated a person as much as he did now, and he wished he could tear him into pieces!

“Gu Ci…” Lin Dong squeezed out these two words from between his teeth, his voice as cold and piercing as if it came from the Netherworld.

Gu Ci turned around slowly, still with a playful smile on his lips, as if he was enjoying a funny show.

He glanced at Lin Dong with contempt and said calmly, “What’s yours is yours, and what’s not yours is not yours. Are you worthy of pretending to be someone else?”

"You!" Lin Dong was furious. He stood up suddenly, and the energy in his body surged wildly.

“Lin Dong, how long are you going to keep messing around!” Lin Zhentian shouted angrily upon seeing this. A powerful pressure instantly descended upon Lin Dong, making it hard for him to breathe.

Lin Dong's body trembled, and the anger in his eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by deep powerlessness and despair.

Yeah, what else can he do now?

If he took action now in front of everyone, the Lin family would really lose face!

“Gu Ci, just wait. In this official hunting competition, I will definitely let you know how powerful I, Lin Dong, am!”

Lin Dong only felt a fishy and sweet taste rising in his throat, and he almost vomited blood.

His eyes were red as he stared at Gu Ci, like a wounded beast that could attack and hurt someone at any time.

But he could only endure, endure, endure!

“Okay! Okay! Okay!” Lin Dong gritted his teeth and said “Okay” three times in a row, “Gu Ci, just wait for me. I will make you pay the price at the hunting competition!”

"Oh? I'll wait." Gu Ci chuckled, his tone full of disdain.

He tilted his head slightly, as if he was talking to Lin Dong, or as if he was talking to himself, "You are just a piece of trash, do you think you deserve to make me pay the price?"

After saying that, Gu Ci no longer paid attention to Lin Dong, turned around and left.

Every step he took was steady and yet revealed an indescribable sense of ease and freedom, as if he didn't take Lin Dong seriously at all.

However, at this moment, Zhao Linger spoke.

"Gu Ci, wait a minute!"

Zhao Linger's voice was clear and pleasant, like a clear spring in a mountain stream. Everyone present couldn't help but turn their eyes to her.

Gu Ci stopped and frowned slightly.

He turned around slowly and his eyes fell on Zhao Linger with a hint of scrutiny.

"Ms. Zhao Linger, is there something wrong?"

Zhao Linger ignored the displeasure in Gu Ci's tone. She took a step forward and looked directly at Gu Ci, with a determined light flashing in her clear eyes.

Then he slowly handed the invitation letter he had just taken back to Gu Ci and said, "You took the risk of entering the restricted area this time and were able to come back alive. No matter what, you are a warrior. Please be sure to accept this invitation letter. I hope you can come to my birthday party when the time comes!"

"What? Zhao Linger actually gave the invitation letter to Gu Ci?"

"Yes, that's the invitation letter from the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, the invitation letter for her birthday party..."

The surroundings suddenly exploded, and everyone looked at Gu Ci with disbelief. Whispers rose and fell, like waves.

"Am I seeing things? The eldest daughter of the Zhao family actually gave the invitation letter to Gu Ci?" A young man widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"How could Gu Ci have deserved this? He was so lucky to have his life saved, and yet he could even win the favor of Zhao Linger?" someone nearby said sourly, his tone full of jealousy.

"The Zhao family is one of the big families in J City. I'm afraid Gu Ci will rise to the top overnight!" A middle-aged man touched his chin, with a gleam in his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.

“If you ask me, Gu Ci is much stronger than Lin Dong. He even came back alive from the restricted area!” A young girl looked at Gu Ci with admiration, her eyes shining.

“Nonsense, who the hell is Gu Ci, and how can he be compared with Lin Dong from the aristocratic Lin family?”
