They All Deeply Regretted It After I Became Indifferent

The Nangong family came too?

Lin Nantian was puzzled; the relationship between the Nangong family and the Lin family wasn’t exactly cordial.

Yet they took the initiative to attend his birthday celebration?

But guests are guests, after all, so he gestured for the two families to be let in.

Shortly after, two groups entered the hall, led by a pair of young man and woman.

The man was handsome, with a noble and imposing air, and his tall stature attracted the gazes of many young Lin family women, even bewitching some naive girls to the point of infatuation.

As for the woman, her gaze was cool and detached, her beauty stunning, exuding an aura of pride and confidence, ignoring the glances cast by the Lin family men.

At this point, some of the more knowledgeable Lin family youths recognized the pair’s identity.

“These are the prodigies of the Nangong family, Nangong Xu, and the Jiang family’s Jiang Yanran.”

The Lin family youths couldn’t help but admire the pair’s looks and demeanor.

“So this is the recently famous Jiang Yanran from the Jiang family… She’s really something!” Lin Tian stared at Jiang Yanran, almost drooling.

“It’s the young master from the Nangong family who’s truly handsome,” said one of the Lin family’s young women.

“Don’t they look like a match made in heaven, standing side by side?”

Some disciple uttered this, and suddenly the way the Lin family youths saw the pair changed, feeling more and more that they were perfectly suited for each other.

“If you ask me, both being geniuses who formed their Golden Cores before twenty, and both being of the seventh rank, with Jiang Yanran joining the Ice Palace and Nangong Xu entering the Xuanming Hall, both being top sects, it’s only natural they look like a pair destined by the heavens.”

Envy often leads to mischief.

These youths were well aware of the betrothal between Lin Mo and Jiang Yanran.

Some couldn’t help thinking, since I can’t have her, I won’t let others have her either, and started to stir up trouble,

At this moment, Lin Qingqing said, “I actually think that Lin Mo… Uncle, is even more handsome than Nangong Xu…”

All eyes suddenly turned to her.

With a blush, Lin Qingqing shyly lowered her head.

“Qingqing sister, you’re not falling for Lin Mo, are you?” Lin Tian’s eyes widened.

“Don’t talk nonsense, I just think Uncle Lin Mo is no less than Nangong Xu,” Lin Qingqing’s face turned even redder, her hands nervously fidgeting.

Her words resonated with some of the Lin family’s young women.

“Indeed, as Qingqing said, Lin Mo’s appearance and demeanor are not inferior to Nangong Xu…”

“But that’s just appearance, what about strength? Nangong Xu has a seventh-rank Golden Core, and didn’t the head of the family just say that Lin Mo only has a fifth-rank?”

Every three ranks of the Golden Core represent a significant threshold, and a fifth-rank Golden Core is still far behind a seventh-rank.

Nangong Xulim Mo had seen him before, nothing but a hypocrite.

At this moment, his attention turned towards Jiang Yanran.

To be precise, it was directed at a white-clad young girl standing next to Jiang Yanran. The girl’s appearance was no less than Jiang Yanran’s, only dressed more modestly to make herself less conspicuous.

This girl seemed utterly indifferent to her surroundings, always wearing a stern expression.

The reason Lim Mo was drawn to her was not solely because of her looks, but because, although she was clearly at the same Golden Core stage as him, she gave him an extremely dangerous vibe.

Even his grandfather, Lin Nantian, who was already in the late Nascent Soul stage, had never given him such a feeling.

And there was something very discordant about the girl herself.

How strange…

“Greetings to the head of the Lin family,” Nangong Xu said.

“Greetings to Grandfather Lin.” Jiang Yanran’s grandfather had a great relationship with Lin Nantian, so her calling him grandfather was not out of place.

After Nangong Xu and Jiang Yanran paid their respects to Lin Nantian, they presented their birthday gifts.

Lin Nantian, who didn’t care what the gifts were, was very fond of Jiang Yanran and instructed his servants to add a seat next to Lim Mo for her.

Nangong Xu, on the other hand, sat in the guest seats.

The two exchanged a glance without speaking and sat down according to Lin Nantian’s arrangement.

Lim Mo noticed their interaction but said nothing.

“Brother Mo, long time no see!” A fragrant breeze passed by, and Jiang Yanran naturally took her seat next to him.

Her gaze lingered on Lim Mo for quite some time.

In the past, when she visited him, she was always in plain white clothes, looking rather unremarkable. But today, he was surprised to see such a significant change.

She looked good, but in this world of cultivation, appearance paled in comparison to strength, background, innate talent, and it was hardly worth mentioning.

Lim Mo responded softly and did not continue the conversation.

This attitude left Jiang Yanran somewhat perplexed. In the past, Lim Mo would always take the initiative to stick by her and greet her.

Today, when she initiated the conversation, his attitude made her feel somewhat annoyed.

Lim Mo had no affection for the original master’s betrothed wife, which allowed him to view certain issues more rationally.

He didn’t mind having an extra Dao companion picked up for nothing, but first, he needed to be sure if her feelings towards him were genuine.

But from the memories of the past two years, ever since Jiang Yanran formed her Golden Core, she seemed to have intentionally distanced herself from the original master.

The last two times she sent gifts, she excused herself due to ill health, instructing the servants to accept the gifts without meeting in person.

Seeing Jiang Yanran’s attitude today, Lim Mo roughly figured out that this woman had no romantic feelings for the original master.

Then he turned his gaze to Lin Qingqing.

Coincidentally, Lin Qingqing met his gaze at that moment, and her face immediately flushed red.

See, this young girl seemed more likely to be fond of him.

Lin Nantian saw that there was no interaction between Lin Mo and Jiang Yanran, and he sighed inwardly, wondering why his grandson couldn’t understand his intentions.

So he said, “Yanran girl, you’re twenty this year, aren’t you?”

Jiang Yanran respectfully replied, “Yes, Grandfather Lin, Yanran has just turned twenty.”

Lin Nantian nodded, stroked his beard, and said with a smile, “Now that both you and Mo’er have reached the Core Formation stage, it’s time to consider the wedding day.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanran’s complexion changed, and she then said, “Grandfather Lin, I have just entered the Ice Palace, and I need to focus on my cultivation for the next few years…”

Lin Nantian interrupted her, “Silly girl, marriage is an important matter. The union of the Jiang and Lin families will be beneficial for the development of both.”

“Besides, the wedding will only take a few days, how could it delay your cultivation?”

Jiang Yanran then said, “But the rules of the Ice Palace are strict, even if I marry, I won’t have time to see Brother Mo…”

At this moment, Lin Mo, who had been sipping tea, put down his cup and said with a smile, “No worries, let’s get married first, and we can cultivate our relationship later.”

After saying this, he saw Jiang Yanran’s face turn extremely unsightly, even a bit pale, as she glanced at Nangong Xu out of the corner of her eye.

Nangong Xu, on the other hand, having heard Lin Mo’s words, looked as if he wanted to devour Lin Mo.

It was as if he was the one whose wife had been stolen.

Seeing this, Lin Mo understood.

These two had become involved with each other.

Oh, the original host, you really are pitiful.

The women around you, how each one is more peculiar than the last.

Well, if that’s the case, then he would play along with Jiang Yanran!
