Chapter 377: I'm Actually the Clown

He pulled out such a huge diamond, setting the atmosphere perfectly.

As a result, he just said, "You're a good person!"

Liang Xu felt a surge of qi and blood rush to his chest, making him almost spit out a mouthful of blood!

He suppressed the urge to vomit blood, placed the gift box on the table, and said.

"Xue'er, don't misunderstand, I'm not proposing to you."

"I'm just telling you, the gift I'm giving you isn't something just anyone can produce."

Saying that, he glanced at Lin Yang and said.

Lin Yang, seeing him look over, also smiled and said.

"I also prepared a string of crystal pendants."

Saying that, he took out a crystal pendant from a cloth bag.

Seeing Lin Yang take out a crystal pendant from the cloth bag, Liang Xu immediately sneered.

"This is probably just a cheap toy you bought for a few bucks."

"In such a setting, pulling it out of a cloth bag is truly trashy."

"If you don't have money to buy a gift box, just tell me early and I'll buy you one."

Hearing Liang Xu's mockery, everyone burst into laughter.

Many felt that Liang Xu made a lot of sense.

This is probably a toy pendant bought from a two-yuan store.

Amid the loud mockery, Nangong Xue had already picked up the pendant and said to Lin Yang.

"Can you help me put it on?"

"Sure!"

Under everyone's gaze, Lin Yang stood behind Nangong Xue and fastened the crystal pendant onto her.

Seeing this, Liang Xu's face turned green with anger.

The diamond he brought back from South Africa, Nangong Xue glanced at it and gave him a good-person card.

Lin Yang's two-yuan store pendant, he personally put it on her.

He was so angry.

He even felt like smashing the diamond.

After spending so much, what was it all for?

Unable to contain his anger, he snorted and said.

"Even if Xue'er wears it, it can't hide the fact that you bought it from a two-yuan store!"

Nangong Xue was about to get angry when she heard Lin Yang laugh and say.

"Young Master Liang, you're looking at me with your narrow-minded eyes."

"This crystal pendant was taken from the Xuánmén Association."

"Could it be that you think the crystal from the Xuánmén Association is bought from a two-yuan store?"

Ding Biao snorted coldly and said.

"Young Master Liang, are you questioning our association?"

Upon hearing that, Liang Xu gave an embarrassed smile and said.

"I was just saying it offhand."

"The things in this association are certainly not fake."

"To offend the Xuánmén Association for no reason—if my father found out, he'd probably break my legs!"

Looking at the embarrassed Liang Xu, Ding Biao snorted coldly and said.

"Hopefully not; otherwise, the association won't let you off easily."

Liang Xu quickly nodded in agreement.

Everyone saw Liang Xu's state and also had strange expressions.

"This Liang Xu is really miserable; tonight he's been utterly crushed."

Seeing everyone's gaze, Liang Xu felt a wave of regret.

He said to Lin Yang, "Hmph, taking the association's crystal is just borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha."

"I see, you don't even put Xue'er's birthday banquet in your eyes."

Lin Yang laughed and said, "You're just a mortal; you don't understand anything."

"I had Ding Biao get the crystal from the association, not because the association's crystal is so big."

"But because it can withstand spiritual power; I engraved a grand formation on the crystal to guarantee Xue'er's safety."

He looked at Nangong Xue and said, "Bite your finger and let the first drop of blood go onto it."

"Tch, still doing blood recognition? You think this is a magic trick?"

Nangong Xue ignored Liang Xu, bit her index finger, and dropped a drop of blood onto the crystal pendant.

Letting the fresh blood drop on it, a ripple formed on the crystal.

At that moment, the crystal seemed like a water surface and quickly absorbed the fresh blood.

Then the crystal burst forth with a beam of light, illuminating the entire room as if it were daytime.

Everyone was stabbed by this blinding light and instinctively closed their eyes.

When the light faded, they slowly opened their eyes.

After opening their eyes, everyone instinctively looked toward Nangong Xue.

At this moment, a natural barrier appeared around Nangong Xue.

On the barrier were plants, trees, stars, and flying beasts and running animals.

Seeing it, one couldn't help feeling refreshed and delighted.

Lin Yang laughed and said: "This is what I carved at the back; it took an afternoon, so I'm a bit late."

Hearing this, Nangong Xue instantly smiled like a flower.

"Thank you!"

Lin Yang laughed and said: "As soon as you think of it, you can retract the barrier."

Hearing this, Nangong Xue closed her eyes.

Soon, the barrier turned into a ray of light and vanished inside the crystal.

Lin Yang said to her: "Are you satisfied with this birthday gift?"

Nangong Xue excitedly nodded and said.

"Satisfied."

Liang Xu then excitedly shouted.

"An illusion, it's all an illusion!"

"You must have installed some kind of projector on the crystal!"

Now, Nangong Xue was utterly furious.

"Liang Xu, if you don't have that ability, don't question Mr. Lin!"

"Only you could pull off installing a projector!"

Liang Xu, having been rebuked, shouted angrily without any decorum.

"What does he mean by protective talisman? That flashy thing—can it protect you?"

Nangong Xue said angrily.

"If Mr. Lin says it can, then it can!"

"I believe him!"

"I don't believe it unless I verify it myself; if it's true, you can have me kneel and apologize."

Wang Lin looked at the furious Liang Xu and quietly asked Ding Biao.

"How dare this kid compete for affection with a Xuánmén Person, especially someone as powerful a cultivator as Mr. Lin!"

"The Liang family—could they be hiding something?"

Ding Biao shook his head and said: "Hiding nothing!"

"This kid just returned from overseas studies not long ago and still doesn't know how formidable Xuán arts are."

"He still thinks Mr. Lin is just doing magic tricks for him!"

Wang Lin laughed: "Then he really is a petty clown."

While they were discussing, Lin Yang asked Nangong Xue.

"Xue'er, do you trust me?"

"Mm-hmm!"

Nangong Xue nodded.

"Then let him try hitting you with a stick."

Nangong Xue didn't ask further, directly said to Liang Xu.

"Liang Xu, come hit me with a stick."

Seeing Nangong Xue trust Lin Yang so much, Liang Xu also became furious.

He fetched a baseball bat and said to Nangong Xue.

"Xue'er, do you really want to believe that kid? What if he ends up hurting you later..."

Nangong Xue said impatiently.

"Just hit when I tell you—why all the nonsense?"

"If you hurt me, I'll pay you."

Liang Xu, angry, shouted, grabbed the stick and rushed straight at Nangong Xue.

"Bang!"

His stick, when it reached within an inch of Nangong Xue, was blocked by something mysterious.

Then he was shaken by a tremendous force and shattered on the spot.

Instantly, he stood in the Hall, his clothes in tatters.

"Wow, this protective talisman is so powerful!"

"I really want this protective talisman."

Everyone instantly looked at Lin Yang with admiration.

Seeing everyone admire Lin Yang, Liang Xu instantly felt he had become a clown.
