Insufficient balance

  Lin Dong's mouth corners drew a deep arc of smile, and he silently looked at Lin Xiaobei for a moment.

  Lin Xiaobei calmly said to Lin Dong, "Everyone has their own circle. If you rashly enter a circle that you are not familiar with, what you get is not respect and admiration from others, but ridicule, disdain, and indifference."

  Lin Dong looked at Lin Xiaobei again in silence, still not speaking.

  Lin Xiaobei looked at Lin Dong's face, which showed no expression, slightly furrowed her brow, then relaxed and said: "As for my words, you can choose to believe or not. I'll go down first."

  "Thank you." Lin Dong said to Lin Xiaobei as she left.

  Lin Xiaobei turned back and said calmly: "I just expressed my opinion."

  Lin didn't see Lin Xiaobei's figure anymore, so he stood there for three minutes before going downstairs.

  Tonight, the oldest longevity star, Ling Xing's grandfather, walked out in a deep red Tang suit, looking spirited. Behind him were Ling Xing's father and mother, as well as his uncle's generation of men. Every face was filled with joy, and soon more and more people slowly came up to congratulate the old man and present gifts.

  Ling Xing had already seen Lin Dong on the stairs above, but instead of beckoning him to come down, he calmly held Lin Xiaobei's hand and gave Lin Dong a gesture. He was sure Lin Dong would understand the meaning behind it. Lin Dong indeed understood what Ling Xing meant by the gesture - drawing a circle with himself and Lin Xiaobei inside, while excluding himself from the circle. In fact, there was another layer of meaning to it, implying that they were people within their own circle, whereas Lin Dong was not part of their circle.

  Lin Dong suddenly saw a familiar face, it was a man with a beer belly, if he wasn't mistaken, this man was the mayor of Pingjin City.

  The Ling family's face is really big.

  Lin Dong's face turned gloomy, and he slowly walked down the stairs, without saying a word of courtesy to Ling Xing, and left the hotel.

  He is indeed not one of them in that circle.

  He is just a birdman who barely makes ends meet.

  Just as I walked out of the hotel gate, two black small cars slowly drove over.

  A young man with a black hat adorned with a plum blossom emblem stepped out of the first car. He wore all-black attire, and his messy black hair fell onto his shoulders, giving him an airy appearance. His pale face and knife-like eyes revealed a cold glow. After getting off the car, he walked to the second vehicle and opened the door. Gong Li stood at attention in front of the door. It was hard to believe that such a proud young man also had a respectful side. A coughing sound came from the second vehicle, followed by a robust middle-aged man stepping out. He had silver-red long hair, a rugged face with sharp angles, and deep eyes flashing red light that made people dare not look straight at him. His upper body wore a red vest, with solid muscles bulging like rocks.

  The next third person is Lin Dong who has met and saved Yan Lao Da, Yan Ke Shou, the husband of the boss of Old Boy Bar, a very powerful figure.

  Yan Keshou saw Lin Dong standing at the gate, and a hint of surprise flashed through his heart.

  Lin Dong didn't necessarily mean to immediately fawn on people's homes, but rather that some people might have already forgotten who he was.

  He's not some big shot, it's normal to forget.

  Lin Dong let out a breath and decided to leave.

  "Lin Dong." Yan Kui shouted out Lin Dong's name.

  Lin Dong stopped in his tracks and then broke into a brilliant smile, unexpectedly remembering himself, and stepped forward: "Brother Yan."

  The young man with a black hat and the red-vested man saw Lin Dong's slight astonishment, mainly because Lin Dong was too ordinary and too easy-going, a kind of person that could be seen everywhere on the street.

  "Little Knife, I was just talking about this young man last time with you." Yan Kexin said to the black-hatted youth.

  "Oh, is that Yan Ge?" The young man called Xiao Dao looked up and down at Lin Dong, this really was a case of "a true person does not reveal their appearance". Last time Yan Ge told him about a youth who was very powerful and had defeated over ten members of the Flying Car Gang, he was quite curious.

  Lin Dong took a glance at the small knife, and his pair of eyes that could scan human potential quickly came up with the data on the small knife.

  Attack 203.

  Defense 150.

  Burst Power Value 240.

  This is Lin Dong's first time seeing someone with more potential than himself, and he is actually Li Xiaolong in the second generation. He didn't expect that in front of this little white face was just a dish.

  The attack power actually reached over 200, it's really too terrifying.

  Lin Dong scanned the red vest man with his scanning eyes again, and got roughly the same data as this small knife, just a little more defensive power value.

  It seems that back in real society, this scanning eye of mine can still analyze human potential.

  Yan Keshou Dao: "Come to attend Ling Hong's birthday ceremony?"

  Ling Hong is Ling Xing's grandfather. In Pingjin City, only a few people dare to call him by his full name; most people just call him Old Master Ling.

  Lin Dongdao said: "Yeah, but I have to leave ahead of time, I'm not suitable for this place." Saying there's no sadness at all is a lie.

  "Yan Kexin said: 'If you want people to learn respect, you must have enough strength, because that's capital. No one is born successful. Follow me in.'"

  "But..."

  Yan Keshou: "I never repeat myself." He then strode in with big steps.

  Lin Dong always thought that the most intimidating part of a person's eyes was the kind that made people afraid when they saw it, but just now when Yan Kui shot a glance at him, he really felt a knife-like aura.

  Is this the aura of a superior being?

  Lin Dong looked at Yan Kui's back, which was not very majestic but appeared exceptionally tall.

  "What are you still dazing about, go in!" Xiao Dao said with a smile. "You little guy has guessed the dog shit luck today. At first, I was also brought into the circle of high society by Brother Yan, but I still like my own circle, free and easy."

  The man in red vest walked silently inside.

  The aura is an intangible thing that can't be seen or touched, but it really exists.

  As Yan Ge walked in, everyone's eyes were on him at that moment.

  Tonight's birthday star Ling Hong also stood up from his seat and went to greet him personally.

  Lin Dong felt the gaze of those people on Yan Kui's body, filled with reverence, admiration, and jealousy. All kinds of eyes were present. As for the gaze placed on him, it was more sinister and playful, probably wondering what his identity was.

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

  When Ling Xing saw Lin Dong, he was surprised 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?
