Although Lin Tian could act indifferent towards the Dragon Emperor, his feelings towards the elderly were genuine. To put it bluntly, without the efforts of the older generation, we wouldn't be able to enjoy our current way of life.
"Hehe... isn't that a bit exaggerated?" the old man asked, chuckling as he looked at Lin Tian and Ju. "If others heard you say that, they might accuse me of being merely ceremonial."
"Who would dare… I would be the first to not let them off," Lin Tian burst into outcry upon hearing this, much like how today's youngsters react when they hear someone badmouth their favorite pop group, completely ready to fight tooth and nail.
This display caused Dragon Emperor to feel contempt, thinking to himself that this kid was nothing but a bootlicker.
The elder could only show a helpless smile at this but still thought favorably of Lin Tian. He was unlike others who acted too official and sycophantically silent around him.
