Chapter 144 You Must Like It

To Lin Beichen’s disappointment, the screen showed that there was no one nearby to be found.

 

“In the short run, WeChat is of no use to me.

 

“However, maybe it’s because many functions have not been completely figured out yet.”

 

Lin Beichen was not completely frustrated.

 

The dramatically changed app which cost him 30 GB of data should be full of incredible functions.

 

What on earth did he ignore?

 

Just as Lin Beichen was thinking hard, there was a knock on the door.

 

Knock! Knock!

 

“Young Master, Dean Chu is here to see you.”

 

The steward Wang Zhong’s voice came in.

 

“Chu Hen?”

 

He didn’t dare to ignore him.

 

Lin Beichen quickly put on his clothes, pushed the door open, and went down to the living room on the first floor.

 

“Dean Chu, I’m surprised to see you here.”

 

He pretended to be very surprised, turned around, and said to Wang Zhong, “Hurry up, make tea. Quality tea.”

 

Chu Hen sat on a chair and said angrily, “You brat, you have missed another day’s classes, and the teachers have complained to me several times. As a grade dean, I have to come to see what’s going on with you.”

 

Lin Beichen quickly said, “Ah, as soon as I got up early this morning, I haven’t felt well. I think I’ve caught a cold.”

 

“Caught a cold?”

 

Chu Hen was stunned.

 

Lin Beichen secretly cursed himself in his heart. He shouldn’t have said that strange phrase, and he quickly explained. “I mean I’m sick and I don’t feel well… Hey, I asked Wang Zhong to ask for leave, didn’t I? Wang Zhong, Wang Zhong, you son of a bitch, did you turn a deaf ear to the matter I arranged?”

 

Wang Zhong appeared with tea, with a confused look on his face.

 

“Young Master, you didn’t have any arrangements at all.”

 

He had long been used to being the scapegoat, so he was clever enough that he quickly took the blame and knelt down, saying, “Ah, I deserve to die. I forgot to ask for leave for you, Young Master.”

 

How sophisticated Chu Hen was!

 

He could see through the lie at a glance.

 

Yet, he didn’t get to the bottom of it.

 

After all, he now favored Lin Beichen.

 

Not to mention missing a day’s classes, with the honor that Lin Beichen had won for the college, it didn’t matter even if he missed classes every day.

 

Moreover, the classes in Grade Two could no longer keep up with Lin Beichen’s progress.

 

Holding a cup of tea and chatting with Lin, Chu Hen blew away the tea leaves and said slowly, “Your master searched the school for you during the day, but he didn’t find you. He has now left Cloudy Dream City and gone out to deal with something. It may be a few days before he comes back. Before leaving, he asked me to take care of you. From now on, I am also half of your master.”

 

“Has Mr. Ding left Cloudy Dream City?

 

“Is he really going to the Ming family and wait for the three families?

 

“He’s so freaking awesome.

 

“Not only did he kill the elder of the families, but he also intends to go to these families and charge them.

 

“So overbearing.”

 

Chu Hen said again, “Don’t think that your master is a bloodthirsty and cruel person. He did this just for you.”

 

Lin Beichen looked puzzled.

 

Chu Hen explained. “Your master hasn’t drawn his sword out of its sheath for 16 years. Why? Because he has no one to protect. He has even abandoned his reputation and prestige. Many people have forgotten the fear of being dominated by the God of Sword in Baiyun City. Now, he once again drew his sword for you because he wanted to kill again. He wants to get his reputation of killing back with his sword, so that those people in the dark don’t dare to lay a finger on you anymore. Only in this way can you be safe.”

 

To kill some and to frighten the others away, right?

 

Or to punish someone as a warning to others?

 

Lin Beichen started to get the hang of it.

 

That was probably what his master meant.

 

“Does my master have many enemies?” he asked uneasily.

 

Did he get on a sinking boat?

 

“Those people cannot be simply recognized as enemies or friends. What’s more, even if your master doesn’t have enemies, how about you? How about your Lin family?” Chu Hen asked in reply.

 

Lin Beichen didn’t say anything.

 

How many enemies did his father have when he was alive?

 

He didn’t know.

 

He could not continue to talk about this topic.

 

Seeing that he didn’t say anything, Chu Hen took a sip of tea and continued, “You just need to know that your master has done a lot for you. If you want to repay him, you should practice hard to improve your strength… You can tell me what you need.”

 

Immediately, Lin Beichen’s eyes lit up.

 

He was just waiting for this sentence.

 

He said without hesitation, “I need a lot, such as the martial methods for strengthening my body and the martial skills for improving my defensive force in the Spiritual Force. Of course, if there are any three-star, four-star, five-star, or six-star combat skills and so on, I wouldn’t mind taking some… In fact, you can also give me some eight-star, nine-star, or ten-star combat skills. The more, the better. Hehe…”

 

Body strengthening could improve his defensive power and resistance.

 

This was the most urgent thing.

 

Chu Hen directly slapped him and said angrily, “You brat, do you think I’m from the imperial family who has nine-star or ten-star combat skills? Besides, you’re a swordsman. Why do you need martial methods for strengthening the body?”

 

Lin Beichen covered the back of his head with his hand and said with a grin, “Um, I have some special ideas.”

 

Chu Hen refused mercilessly and said, “What’s the special idea? When your master comes back, you can ask him for some directly. I can’t satisfy you… Well, don’t talk nonsense. I’m here to tell you to be ready. I’ll take you to the Temple of the Lord of Swords and find a way to help you awaken the Mystery Energy attribute so that you can become a Warrior Expert.”

 

“Huh?”

 

Lin Beichen was not happy. Instead, he was in trouble.

 

He did not want to go to the temple at all.

 

That was the residence of the gods.

 

If he was found to have come from another world and then be recognized as an evil god, it was estimated that even Chu Hen, who regarded him as his own son, would tie him up to the punishment pillar on the temple square and burn him alive.

 

“Well… Dean Chu, I think my foundation is still very poor, and my cultivation base of Mystery Energy is far from enough. How can I awaken the attribute of Mystery Energy? So why not wait a little longer?”

 

He tried to refuse.

 

Chu Hen smiled without saying anything and handed him a small, white, stone, sword-shaped card.

 

“What is this?”

 

Lin Beichen subconsciously took it in his hand.

 

He then felt that his Mystery Energy was uncontrollably converging toward the card.

 

Bam!

 

The small card exploded.

 

A cloud of black smoke appeared.

 

Lin Beichen’s handsome face was black because of the smoke.

 

“How dare you say that your basic cultivation base is not enough? This is a Mystery Energy test card that can accommodate the Mystery Energy of a tenth-grade warrior, and it was instantly blown up by yours. It’s settled. Tomorrow morning, when school starts, I’ll take you to the Temple of the Lord of Swords.”

 

After that, before Lin Beichen could say anything, he had directly turned around and left.

 

Lin Beichen was stunned for a long time.

 

“What the fuck! So heartless.

 

“What a sinister man!”

 

He had fallen into Chu Hen’s trap.

 

After seeing Chu Hen off, Lin Beichen pondered for a while.

 

It seemed that he had no choice but to go to the Temple of the Lord of Swords.

 

That place is the divine hall in every swordsman’s heart. If he showed special rejection, it would definitely cause suspicion.

 

“Oh, no!”

 

Lin Beichen was thinking about it when Wang Zhong, the old steward, came in and said, “Young Master, someone is here to visit you.”

 

“Who is it?”

 

Lin Beichen looked up and said, “Bring him in.”

 

“The courtyard is usually very quiet, and even a single fart can echo for more than a dozen seconds.

 

“Why are there so many guests today?”

 

Moments later.

 

Zhao Zhuoyan, the president of the Thousand-mile Chamber of Commerce, entered the living room with a sincere smile.

 

“What are you doing here?” Lin Beichen asked curiously.

 

Zhao Zhuoyan hurriedly said, “I’m here to apologize to you, my dear nephew. My son was so rude today. After returning home, I felt increasingly guilty. I want to do something to make it up to you. I know that you treat money like dirt. If I just give you money, I’m sure you’ll be angry…”

 

The corner of Lin Beichen’s mouth twitched.

 

“Who told you that I treat money like dirt? I’m going to smash him to death.

 

“The world has a very deep misunderstanding of me.”

 

Zhao Zhuoyan observed Lin Beichen’s face and saw that he was expressionless. So he quickly continued to smile apologetically and said, “I thought for a long time, but it was still my unfilial son who proposed to prepare a gift for you. I believe you will like it very much.”

 

“Huh?

 

“I broke Zhao Wuyang’s limbs. How could he give me a present?

 

“And he even said that I would definitely like it?

 

“Don’t tell me that he’s going to give me a top beauty or the like.”
