94: Using veiled criticism to insult others!

Lin You couldn't help but frown upon hearing this.

He had originally thought that with the Zhuge Family token in hand, he could enter the Third-Rank Star Domain.

But he hadn't expected the ins and outs of this to be more complicated than he had imagined.

He and the Zhuge Family could be considered to have some connection.

During the first Prodigy Grand Competition, it was an envoy from the Zhuge Family who presided over it.

When the Lin Family entered the Sixth-Rank Star Domain, they also used a token from them.

Later on, there was also the matter involving Qin Feng, where the Zhuge Family helped smooth over the trouble.

All things considered, Lin You still owed them a favor.

He took a deep breath.

Looking at the Golden Armored Godly Being before him, he didn't know the other party's background.

If, by any chance, he belonged to the Zhuge Family, that would be very embarrassing.

Lin You said politely, "Then... would you mind going in and announcing my arrival, Fellow Daoist?"

"Just say that Lin You of the Lin Family has come."

"Once the Zhuge Family knows, they will naturally see me."

The Golden Armored Godly Being couldn't help but frown and reprimand him angrily.

"How can you be so ignorant of what's good for you?"

"If it weren't for the fact that you have some bearing, I would have killed you right here."

"I am only responsible for patrolling the edge of the Third-Rank Star Domain; announcing visitors is not within my duties!"

"If you truly have a connection with the Zhuge Family, you would naturally have a way to contact them."

"If not!"

Saying this, he snorted coldly, a fierce glint appearing in his eyes.

"Go back to where you came from."

"Just some random nobody; if I were to let you in, wouldn't that be a dereliction of duty?"

— Clang.

A monstrous divine light erupted from the body of the Golden Armored Godly Being.

His cultivation in the True God Realm was revealed without a doubt!

Lin You looked at him, his last bit of patience completely exhausted.

Just a gatekeeper.

Really thinking he's the master!

If it weren't for the fact that this place is the residence of a Longevity Family, he would have already cut off his head.

A faint killing intent flashed in Lin You's eyes, his voice icy.

"I will say this one last time."

"Go in."

"Announce my arrival."

"Lin You is here to see them."

"Do not make me repeat this a third time."

"People will die!"

A ferocious smile appeared on the Face of the Golden Armored Godly Being, and he gripped the spear in his hand tightly.

"Just by you?"

"A brat who hasn't even grown all his hair yet!"

"Are you looking for death?"

As the words fell, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.

It looked like both sides were about to make a move.

Suddenly, a lazy voice came from behind the Golden Armored Godly Being.

"What is going on?"

"You can't even handle this small matter? Do you not want your life anymore?"

The moment he heard the voice, the Golden Armored Godly Being hurriedly turned around, and upon seeing the person who arrived, he knelt on one knee.

"My Lord!"

"This fellow insisted on entering, and despite my repeated attempts to dissuade him, it was to no avail."

"That is why a commotion arose, offending you, My Lord."

The newcomer looked high-spirited and vigorous, wearing a blue and white robe, having quite the air of a Young Master from a prominent family.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and cast his gaze onto Lin You, but quickly looked away.

"Oh?"

"Did you ask clearly who the other party is?"

The Golden Armored Godly Being buried his head deeper and cupped his hands.

"I have asked clearly."

"Lin You."

"I am ignorant and have never heard of him."

"He claims to be acquainted with the Zhuge Family and wants me to go in and announce his arrival."

"But the Zhuge Family is a Longevity Family; not knowing the inside story, I dared not disturb them."

Upon hearing the name Lin You.

The corner of the newcomer's mouth curled into a faint smile, and he cast his gaze back onto Lin You.

A token at his waist was clearly visible.

It came from the same source as Lin You's.

"You are Lin You?"

A trace of impatience flashed in Lin You's eyes.

"And if I am?"

The young man clicked his tongue and pulled out the iconic folding fan of the Zhuge Family from his bosom.

"I have heard of you."

"It is said... you are friends with that good-for-nothing Qin Feng?"

Good-for-nothing?

The moment these two words appeared.

Lin You lifted his eyes. He did not answer the other party's question, but instead asked in return.

"Is this the Zhuge Family's attitude towards Qin Feng?"

The young man shook his head.

"Hmm... not exactly."

"This is my attitude towards him."

"A guy who has some talent but cannot dominate within the same realm."

"A person like this, he can't even beat you, so what right does he have to enter my Zhuge Family?"

"Tsk... I really don't know what they saw in Qin Feng to actually let him enter the Star Sea Spirit Pool; that is a place even I don't have the qualifications to enter."

Lin You was amused to the point of laughter, and he licked his lips.

"May I ask your name?"

The young man 'swished' open his folding fan and said loftily.

"Zhuge Family."

"Direct descendant, Zhuge Yunqi."

"If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Yunqi, I can handle it."

Seeing that the two really knew each other, cold sweat couldn't stop dripping from the Golden Armored Godly Being's forehead.

He prostrated on the ground, begging for Zhuge Yunqi's forgiveness.

"My Lord!"

"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"

"This... this young brother didn't present his identity; according to the rules, I cannot let him in."

"I beg you, My Lord, for the sake of my diligent work, spare my life!"

Zhuge Yunqi sighed, a light and breezy smile appearing on his Face.

"What does this have to do with you?"

"You did very well."

"Not just any random nobody is qualified to see people of my Zhuge Family."

"This friend of mine is kind-hearted; coincidentally, I am also kind-hearted."

"Not only will I not punish you, but I must also reward you."

"Later, go report to my Zhuge Family and say that I, Zhuge Yunqi, sent you to be a personal guard; they will give me this Face."

"But you must remember today's events; in the future, keep your eyes sharp when you are at the Zhuge Family."

"No random nobodies allowed inside!"

What a display of veiled insults.

On the surface, it was forgiveness.

Yet he had insulted Lin You inside and out several times over.

"Random nobody," every word was heart-piercing.

The Golden Armored Godly Being felt as if he had been granted an amnesty and was moved to tears.

Lin You narrowed his eyes, "It seems the Zhuge Family is also a mix of fish and dragons, with all kinds of people."

Zhuge Yunqi naturally knew it was a mockery.

He said indifferently, "It's alright. In the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, there are all kinds of people. Some people rely on a tiny bit of talent to freeload food, drink, and Opportunities in the Zhuge Family."

"And there are others..."

"Tsk, after taking full advantage, they actually have the nerve to shamelessly come knocking on the door."

After speaking, Zhuge Yunqi turned his head as if suddenly realizing something.

"Oh, Fellow Daoist!"

"I wasn't talking about you, haha!"

"I have this bad habit, I can't keep my mouth shut. Sigh... please bear with me, please bear with me."

"You came to the Zhuge Family, surely you are looking for Brother Changqing, right?"

"Let's go, let's talk as we walk."
