The much-anticipated Tian Xin suddenly wanted to turn around and leave. He regretted not checking who was over here before arrogantly rushing in.
He wanted to leave, but he feared exposing his back to Lin Shen, giving Lin Shen an opportunity to exploit his weakness.
He had witnessed Lin Shen's speed before. Clearly just a Steel Level, yet somehow faster than him. It was downright illogical.
*Feigning calmness but unwilling to take another step forward, Tian Xin forced a refined smile and said to Lin Shen, "It is always a pleasure to welcome a friend from afar, my dear friend. It seems life has been treating you well lately."*
Everyone was expecting Tian Xin to deliver his signature line about "robbing to make friends," but instead, Tian Xin spoke something completely unexpected, even quoting a classical phrase, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
*An angel speaking Mandarin was already outlandish enough, but throwing in classical Chinese? What kind of absurdity was this?*
