Insufficient balance

  Behind Ling Hong were his father, Ling Jue, and mother, Yao Qin. Ling Xing was also among them. Following them were Ling Xing's uncles.

  When Ling Xing saw Lin Dong, he was shocked and puzzled. He had just seen Lin Dong defeated and leave, but unexpectedly, another man came in. As for who this man was, he didn't know, but surprisingly, Grandfather personally went to greet him. Even when the mayor came, Grandfather would sit down, so how could this person be more important than the mayor?

  Ling Hong had already walked ahead of Yan Ge, and smiled: "Ge, why are you only coming now?" There was a hint of reproach in his tone.

  Yan Kexin handed over a red envelope and said, "I rushed here as soon as I got off the plane. I wish you, old master, happiness like the East Sea and longevity like Mount Nanshan, may your years be abundant."

  Ling Hongdao said: "You're here, no need for red envelopes, it's too formal, come on in."

  Yan Kexiu said: "Right, I brought one of my nephews over today. In the future, Old Master Ling will have to take good care of him."

  The small knife pushed Lin Dong forward.

  Lin Dong involuntarily took two steps forward and stood beside Yan Kui, he clearly felt some people's strange gaze piercing through his face.

  The most obvious ones are Ling Xing and his cousin Ling Zhilan, who just showed disdain for Lin Dongming.

  Lin Dong is Yan Kui's nephew? Ling Zilan stared at Lin Dong with wide eyes.

  Ling Xing saw Lin Dong standing together with a person who even his grandfather would show some respect to, and he was stunned. It's impossible, Lin Dong's family background he knew very well, there wouldn't be any big shot like this. He asked his cousin persistently: "What is the background of this person?"

  Ling Zhi Lan gazed at Yan Ke Shou's rugged and masculine face, her eyes shining brightly as she said: "A person our Ling family wants to curry favor with, Yan Ke Shou."

  Ling Xing, as a young master, should have understood this person, but he really didn't.

  Ling Hong took a glance at Lin Dong and burst out laughing: "Ke, your nephew is indeed a dragon among men. Judging from his appearance, he should be the same age as my grandson." He turned to face Ling Xing.

  Ling Xing stepped forward, her eyes hiding a resentful and indignant expression, saying: "Grandfather, he is my classmate."

  "Oh, this is better. You all should come and go more often in the future." Ling Hong said, "Krathong, please take a seat."

  "I've opened the door for you in this circle, now it's up to your skills to navigate through it." Yan Ke led the way out with his dagger and the violent man.

  "I didn't expect you to be Yan Ke's nephew." Ling Zilan smiled and walked forward, as if she had already forgotten the mocking of Lin Dong from earlier.

  As for Lin Dong, he seemed to have forgotten everything. He wasn't a magnanimous person and only said lightly: "If I weren't his nephew, I reckon you wouldn't have come over to greet me."

  Ling Zhi Lan's performance was also stunning, intentionally shrugging her shoulders, with a gentle tone: "So that's what they mean by 'a true person doesn't show their face'." Facing Ling Xing Dao, "Little Xing, this is where you went wrong, how could you forget such an important character?" Handing Lin Dong a wine cup, "Please."

  Lin Dong saw that everyone in the family had said their piece, and could only raise his cup and toast with them.

  "You go ahead and chat." Ling Zilan saw Yan Keguo come over, preparing to seduce the number one person in the underground world tonight, perhaps there would be unexpected gains tonight.

  As soon as Ling Zhilan left, Lin Dong stretched out his right hand: "Thank you for inviting me to attend your grandfather's birthday banquet."

  Ling Xing had no choice but to follow and stretch out his hand.

  The next second, Ling Xing only felt that Lin Dong's hand was about to twist his own hand off, and sweat even broke out on his forehead.

  "Are you in a lot of pain? If it hurts, just cry out, there must be someone here who can help you." Lin Dong sneered, increasing the force on his hand.

  "No need, I can hold on." Ling Xing's face was about to cramp up, and he spoke word by word to Lin Dong, that damned bastard's hand strength was too great.

  Lin Dong finally withdrew his hand and said to Ling Xing: "You're sweating on your forehead, isn't it hot here?"

  Lin Dong finished speaking and handed him a snow-white handkerchief.

  Ling Xing stared at Lin Dong with a deadpan expression. If it weren't for the fact that tonight was Grandfather's birthday banquet, he would have had someone throw Lin Dong out long ago.

  "Thank you." Ling Xing took the tissue paper handed over by Lin Dong with a very elegant demeanor, and said in a low voice, "I will remember tonight's humiliation."

  "No, this isn't shameful. It's just a simple courtesy." Lin Dong said in a low voice, and then familiarly hooked his arm around Ling Xing's shoulder, as if they were good buddies, "Why don't we go to that corner over there and talk, chat about Xiaobei's situation."

  Ling Xing's eyes flashed with a scorching color, and he sneered: "Lin Xiaobei, I've made up my mind, you're not my opponent." He wasn't afraid of Lin Dong, and led him to a corner.

  "Don't be so tense." Lin Dong noticed Ling Xing's tension, his voice carrying a strange magic. "Am I not your friend? Xiao Bei is just someone we don't care about, now it's our men's world, what do you say? Relax."

  Ling Xing thought to himself, what's wrong with me? Why should I be nervous? This is my territory, even if Lin Dong is Lin Kui's nephew, it doesn't mean he dares to lay a hand on me. If I'm afraid, that would be laughable.

  Ling Xing thoroughly relaxed and said: "Oh, don't I relax? You're the one who's tense."

  Lin Dong smiled and didn't deny it: "Yeah, I am a bit nervous. Really. After all, this is the first time I've attended such a grand high-society party."

  Ling Xing slightly furrowed his brow. What was Lin Dong up to? He wasn't a foolish person, but he couldn't figure out what Lin Dong was doing.

  Lin Dong shouldn't automatically quit the team chasing after Lin Xiaobei.

  Ling Xing said: "I can be your friend, but on one condition - you must leave Lin Xiaobei and me alone."

  Lin Dong smiled and didn't say a word, instead he took out a coin from his pocket. The coin seemed to be performing magic in his right hand as it flipped and fluttered like a butterfly with five fingers dancing around it.

  Ling Xing's eyes were all dizzy.

  "This request of yours, I think I can consider it." Lin Dong said to Ling Xing with a relaxed tone, without any guard, completely affable and amiable.

  Ling Xing saw Lin Dong and cooperated like this, also putting down his young master identity, smiling: "With your words, that's enough."

  The coin on Lin Dong's right hand's five fingers emitted a strange white light that shone incessantly into Ling Xing's eyes.

  Ling Xing shook his head slightly, his eyes seemed to be in some pain, and his brain was dizzy.

  "Relax, I'll grant your request." Lin Dong knew his hypnosis was taking effect and said in an even softer tone.

  He nodded slightly: "I know."

  "Good, this is my friend." Lin Dong put away the coin, it seems that a little trick learned from the world's most famous mysterious hypnotist Gosbaba can hypnotize Ling Xing. Gosbaba was the most mysterious hypnotist of the 18th century, and his most mysterious technique was said to be the coin hypnosis method. With just one coin, he could hypnotize people. Since returning to real society, Da Guan Ren has been remembering Gosbaba's coin hypnosis method, and it must be said that Da Guan Ren indeed has a certain talent in government affairs.

  "Listen up, I want you to stand in front of Lin Xiaobei right now and take off your pants in front of him. Remember, take off everything including your underwear." Lin Dong's voice seemed to have a hypnotic power as he slowly spoke to Ling Xingdao, "Don't be nervous or embarrassed, put aside your pride, there's only you and her here, this world is yours. Do whatever you want."
