C281 Dinner
Before raising the question, she smiled at Lin Long and said, "Congratulations Lin Gongzi for passing the third tier alchemist qualification test and becoming a third tier alchemist."
Because she paid a little attention to Lin Long, she knew that Lin Long was going to participate in the exam. After the exam was over, she asked and got this good news.
To most people, this was great news. However, to Lin Long, whose strength was far above a third-rate alchemist, this was not something worth celebrating.
"Thank you for Miss Lin's concern." Lin Long said lightly.
After that, Lin Shiyin started to ask about the problems she faced.
In the future, Lin Shiyin would visit Lin Long from time to time. Even though she had already completely understood those questions, she still came to ask him other things related to alchemy.
The reason for this was because she discovered that Lin Long did not only know how to make this jasmine tea, he had also grasped an extremely rich amount of knowledge in alchemy.
There were some things that she was still racking her brains to think of. Lin Long had already given her an answer, which made her feel extremely impressed.
It looks like Lin Gongzi really does have a good teacher, it was natural for Kong Zhi to take him in as a disciple, Lin Shiyin thought.
Even though Lin Shiyin had frequently come to Lin Long's residence, because the place Lin Long lived in was special, such frequent visits by Lin Shiyin did not attract anyone's attention. If Lin Long had stayed in a disciple's specialised residence in Alchemists Union, then their gossip would have definitely spread throughout the entire Heavenly Star City.
Unknowingly, seven or eight days had passed by. On this afternoon, Lin Shiyin arrived at Lin Long's residence as usual.
In these seven or eight days, Lin Long would always go to Kong Zhi's place in the morning, and would stay in his own courtyard the rest of the time.
After Lin Shiyin came over, Lin Long realized that she looked a little depressed, as if she was hiding something in her heart.
Lin Long knew Lin Shiyin's nature, so he did not ask anymore. Instead, he found an opportunity to ask the servant girl that came with Lin Shiyin about Xiao Qing.
As a servant girl, Xiao Qing was extremely concerned about Lin Shiyin, so when Lin Long asked, she immediately told him everything in detail.
After hearing Xiao Qing's words, Lin Long's brows immediately furrowed. It turned out that Lin Shiyin was unhappy because she would be participating in the birthday banquet of a noble young master in two days at Heavenly Star City.
This noble young master was not an ordinary person, he was the young master of the Liu family, a great power in the Heavenly Star City.
In the Heavenly Star City, the Liu Family's power could be said to be above the other families, other than the fact that they were slightly below the Alchemists Union, the Liu Family did not even put any other power in their eyes.
The reason this Young Master Liu invited Lin Shiyin was not only because of their Lin Family, but also because he was very interested in Lin Shiyin.
Knowing that this Young Master Liu would definitely pester her at the banquet, Lin Shiyin was naturally unhappy in her heart. However, because the Liu Family was extremely powerful, she could not reject him.
These few days, seeing that Lin Shiyin had a good impression of him, Xiao Qing suggested that Lin Shiyin bring him along, but he was immediately rejected by Lin Shiyin.
Lin Shiyin did not tell Xiao Qing the reason, but Lin Long did not need to think to know that the kind Lin Shiyin did not want to bring trouble to Lin Long because of this.
It could be said that no noble young master in the Heavenly Star City would dare to be so bold as to call herself Lin Shiyin's sweetheart at a birthday banquet.
Hearing Xiao Qing's words, Lin Long's face revealed a cold look. He knew that the young master Liu's full name was Liu Jingtong, and he was extremely handsome, but he was a strong level three Alchemist. However, because of his personality, he was rejected by Lin Shiyin.
In his previous life, he was Lin Long's sworn enemy. At that time, Lin Long had no choice but to give up this relationship because of the opponent's powerful strength.
Now, with his rebirth, how could he, Lin Long, allow this kind of thing to happen again?
Therefore, he had to go to this birthday banquet as soon as possible to stop Liu Jingtong from pestering Lin Shiyin and prevent anything that might happen.
When he had fallen in love with Lin Shiyin in his previous life, Lin Shiyin was already engaged. Everything between him and Lin Shiyin had happened underground.
It was impossible for him to tell Lin Shiyin to bring her there directly, but Lin Long had his own ways. With his strength, he could naturally force his way in, but there was no need to do that.
Lin Long's method was very simple; he just needed a certain senior brother's invitation. After all, he had several senior brothers, and they just so happened to be not in the Heavenly Star City.
With their identities, they would definitely be able to receive Liu Jingtong's invitation.
Lin Long smoothly took a senior brother's invitation from Cao Xiuqi. Then, on the day of Liu Jingtong's birthday banquet, he and Cao Xiuqi entered the Liu Family's big house.
When he went in, there were already many people who came, all of them were well-known figures in the Heavenly Star City.
The two of them casually found a place to sit, but Cao Xiu Qi was quickly called out by his friends, causing Lin Long to not want to follow them, hence he sat down alone.
He had only appeared in the Heavenly Star City twice not long ago, so basically no one knew him and no one came to greet him.
Not long after he sat down, the banquet started. The noble young masters of Heavenly Star City clustered around Liu Jingtong and stood at the center of the hall.
At this time, Liu Jingtong said loudly to all the guests, in high spirits, "Today, I, Liu Jingtong will give everyone news that is worthy of celebration!"
"What kind of good news does Young Master Liu have?"
"Could it be that Young Master Liu intends to participate in the fourth rate alchemist test?"
"It can't be that Young Master Liu's relationship with Miss Lin Shiyin went further, right?"
Everyone present stopped their conversations and looked towards Liu Jingtong, waiting for his answer.
"This is the news, today is the date of my engagement to Miss Lin Shiyin, I will officially announce this news later." Liu Jingtong shouted excitedly.
Even though he failed to woo Lin Shiyin face to face, and only after his father showed himself did the other party's parents agree to such a matter, it still made Liu Jingtong extremely happy.
Thinking about how he would soon be sharing a bridal chamber with Lin Shiyin, Liu Jingtong couldn't help but feel his blood boil. How perfect would that be!
If I tell you to reject me, this young master will destroy you! Liu Jingtong thought fiercely in his heart.
The only regret was that, for some reason, the wedding had to be postponed for two years.
However, even if he had to delay it for two years, it would still make his blood boil because after that, he would be able to openly approach Lin Shiyin and the other party would not be able to refuse.
"So this is the news. That is indeed a joyous occasion."
"Congratulations, Young Master Liu."
"Congratulations to Sir Liu for marrying such a beautiful lady like Miss Lin Shiyin."

All the guests immediately congratulated Liu Jingtong.
Many noble young masters felt like they had lost their soul after hearing this news, but they still forced themselves to smile and congratulate Liu Jingtong. After all, with the Liu family's power, they did not dare to offend them.
Hearing this news, Lin Long frowned, he did not expect that Lin Shiyin and Liu Jingtong's engagement would happen on this day.
In his previous life, Lin Shiyin did not tell him this, and he had even thought that it was at a later time in the future.
Looks like he came here today was the right choice!
After the guests had congratulated each other for a while, the voice of the Liu family's guard suddenly came from outside the door.
"Miss Lin Shiyin is here!"
Naturally, there were no such shouts when other people came in, but today was a different day, so the guards shouted this loudly.
The moment Lin Shiyin came in, the entire place went silent for a moment, and everyone's gaze turned to look at Lin Shiyin.
Lin Shiyin wore a purple cheongsam that accentuated her graceful figure. When paired with her stunning face, she could directly beat all the other girls at the scene, causing all the noble young masters to sigh. How come they did not have families like Liu Jingtong's?
Otherwise, Lin Shiyin would have married them.
What was different from this kind of beauty was that Lin Shiyin's expression was indifferent, as if she wasn't participating in a birthday banquet.
Those who were aware of the inside information sighed again. Of course, they didn't dare to say such a thing out loud.
After entering the hall, even though Lin Shiyin's face was expressionless, she still walked straight towards Liu Jingtong. Before he came, her father had already told her about the engagement ceremony.
Thus, there was no smile on her face.
She did not come alone. Her father and mother followed behind her.
Even though her eyes were straight ahead, Lin Shiyin did not seem to have any eyes in Lin Shiyin's eyes. She was only sighing in her heart, sighing over why this was so funny.
Was his fate decided in this life?
Just as she was at a loss, and Liu Jingtong, who was in front, was walking towards her with a proud smile on his face, a person suddenly walked out from the crowd, straight in front of her, and did something that shocked her to the core. That person had suddenly grabbed her hand.
At this moment, it was not just Lin Shiyin who was shocked, but everyone present was. Everyone was dumbstruck, they did not think that there would be someone so bold as to hold Lin Shiyin's hand in front of everyone on the day of Liu Jingtong's engagement ceremony.
Did this person not want his life?
Just who was this person?
For a moment, this thought flashed through almost everyone's minds.
