The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 923: Chapter 923: Fiery Gazes

Hua Dongxu’s facial muscles twitched a few times before his expression returned to calm.

The corner of his mouth slightly lifted, it was that handsome Xiaocheng again.

”I also have some research on bone structure, maybe I can help you, can I join you in the study?” Hua Dongxu asked.

”...” Zhao Qingtang didn’t know how to reply, although her research was in medicine, wasn’t this a bit strange?

”Uh... no need, I think Lin Tian probably knows a bit more than you.” Zhao Qingtang said.

The expression that Hua Dongxu had just regained became strange again.

Fortunately, this rejection wasn’t as... hard to accept as before.

Lin Tian glanced lightly at Zhao Qingtang beside him.

Alright, since you’re beautiful and also Zhao’s granddaughter, I’ll act as your shield this time.

”This must be the renowned Lin Tian, right?”

Hua Dongxu had researched the famous doctors of Celestial Dragon Continent, and Lin Tian was no exception. Besides his fame from the summit, a significant point was that even Zhao Xuefeng admitted he wasn’t as good as him.

Zhao Xuefeng was a proud person and wouldn’t easily say he was inferior to anyone, but he conceded to Lin Tian, which made it hard not to pay attention. Thus, for this formidable opponent, Hua Dongxu came well-prepared.

”Haha, you’ve heard of me?” Lin Tian nodded with a smile.

”Mr. Lin’s accomplishments are probably known to everyone in the field of medicine, perhaps you’ll even become a figure in textbooks.” Hua Dongxu said with a smile.

Curing a vegetative patient could indeed be written into textbooks.

Lin Tian smiled, ”What? Mr. Hua, do you also want to challenge me?”

Hua Dongxu’s expression first changed, then he shook his head, ”I’m a teacher, you’re a student. No matter win or lose, it wouldn’t look good, so I’d rather not.”

His honesty made him appear more likable, more so than if he had hidden his true thoughts.

”Didn’t you just say that this trip to Celestial Dragon Continent was for learning? Even if you lose to me, I’ll teach you something.” Lin Tian said with a slightly upturned mouth.

Hearing this, Hua Dongxu’s expression became awkward again.

He realized his cautious gentlemanly image was always being disrupted by this person.

How can you assume you’ll win? And teach me?

Arrogant, conceited, shameless!

Lin Tian chuckled, ”I want to challenge you, do you dare to accept?”

”Oh~”

The onlookers who weren’t afraid of a big scene all cheered, some even whistled at Lin Tian.

Always being challenged isn’t ideal, taking the initiative is the way to go!

”I find this junior really handsome, he’d be perfect as my boyfriend.”

”Dream on, he’d be mine instead.”

Countless girls started to swoon.

Hua Dongxu smiled bitterly, thinking perhaps he shouldn’t have come to greet them; he didn’t get a date with the beauty, and instead, it caused trouble.

If he agreed, he wasn’t sure he could win.

If he refused, it would look bad, almost embarrassing Xiaocheng.

In the end, he reluctantly nodded, ”Haha, of course I dare, hopefully, you’ll surprise me.”

Lin Tian nodded, ”You will be surprised.”

After a brief conversation, Hua Dongxu said goodbye to the two and followed Zhao Xuefeng to the faculty office building to arrange the matters ahead.

As they left, the excitement was over, and the gathering students gradually dispersed.

Zhao Qingtang asked, ”What do you think of this person?”

Lin Tian thought for a moment and said, ”As you said, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, seemingly gentle but very aggressive. He currently lacks the confidence to defeat me, probably due to my speech at the summit or something else, making him feel inferior to me.”

Zhao Qingtang glanced at the arrogant fellow and said, ”How did you tell? Just because he hesitated when you challenged him?”

Lin Tian smiled, ”That’s just part of it. Do you know which part of a person’s thoughts are most easily exposed?”

”The eyes.”

”Yes, the eyes.” Lin Tian nodded and then said, ”When he first saw the teacher and the students around carrying a grudge, his eyes were clear, like a spring with a clear purpose, devoid of impurities.”

”But when he faced me, those eyes were full of aggression. He didn’t directly propose to challenge me, but those eyes weren’t right. I always felt they had other ways to deal with me. In the end, when I proposed to challenge him, he hesitated. If he had confidence against me, he wouldn’t have hesitated.”

Zhao Qingtang was stupefied, her mouth open, ”How did you notice all that?”

Lin Tian didn’t answer, instead asked, ”Are you proficient in the four diagnostic methods of ancient medicine ’looking, listening, asking, and feeling’?”

Zhao Qingtang responded without thinking, ”Of course!”

That was the fundamental skill of ancient medicine, how could she, a doctoral candidate in ancient medicine, not know?

”Observing a person also requires ’looking, listening, asking, and feeling.’ As long as the details are right, you can naturally judge many unexpected things.”

Zhao Qingtang paused, then lowered her head as if deep in thought.

Suddenly, Lin Tian added, ”There’s another detail, did you notice it?”

”What?” Zhao Qingtang still looked down at her feet.

”His gaze was different when he looked at you, very gentle. I think he’s seriously trying to pursue you.”

Zhao Qingtang chuckled, ”Gentle gaze? I didn’t notice, how was it gentle?”

”Hmm...” Lin Tian pondered for a moment and then said, ”Very affectionate, as if his eyes were completely focused on you, and everything else was blurred out.”

”Oh.” Zhao Qingtang nodded, suddenly a surge of impulse washed over her. She lifted her head and turned slightly, blinking her long lashes, her slender eyes seemed to gather a pool of autumn water.

She focused her gaze on Lin Tian, truly, everything besides him seemed blurred.

”Is it this kind of gaze?”

Lin Tian just looked at her, and his heartbeat skipped a beat.

Her gaze wasn’t gentle, but ardent, fiery hot.

Lin Tian even felt as if his heart was melting in her eyes.

And her red lips, exuding a charming sheen, looked incredibly inviting... Lin Tian wanted to taste them.

Their heads grew closer and closer, as if the next moment, their lips would meet, setting off a blazing fire.

Suddenly, Zhao Qingtang felt Lin Tian’s invasive gaze, shivered, and lowered her head again.

But Lin Tian still hadn’t recovered from her gaze, his heart continued to race.

Zhao Qingtang, with her head down, inquired softly, ”Was his gaze like this?”

Lin Tian thought for a moment, then honestly said, ”No, your gaze is more aggressive, not gentle at all.”

Lin Tian could feel that if given a chance just now, she wouldn’t hesitate to pounce on him.

”So, his sincerity isn’t enough.”
