Chapter 5

The most direct example is right before our eyes.

This soul transmigration was half due to the doing of Miss Lin.

Three days ago, upon hearing about her wasteful and despicable younger brother, Miss Lin specially returned from the Imperial Capital's Royal War Academy. She hung the "former self" from the beam and gave her a severe beating, accidentally causing serious injuries. The former self died from the pain and fear, and even though the priests from the temple later healed her physical wounds, they could not save her soul. As a result, Lin Beichen from Earth took over her body.

With such a ruthless person around, no one in Yunmeng City dared to provoke Lin Beichen.

The butler, Wang, seemed to remember something and hesitantly said, "Oh... I forgot to tell you, Young Master. This afternoon, at the hour of Shen, we received news that Miss Lin was attacked by a large group of ferocious beasts on her way back to the Royal War Academy. She is now missing, and the chances of her survival are slim..."

Huh?

Lin Beichen's expression froze for a moment.

"There's more, Young Master. The news has spread throughout the city. When I came to inform you, I vaguely saw many of your enemies carrying swords and knives, heading towards the Third Academy. They are blocking the school gate, saying that if you dare to step out of the academy gates, they will kill you..."

The butler added.

Lin Beichen's lips twitched.

Then, a scene that left the entire class speechless unfolded—

Under the bright early summer sun, Lin Beichen kicked away the butler who was clinging to his leg, carefully straightened his school uniform, calmly combed his hair, rubbed his stiff face, forced a smile, and walked out of his seat to the front of the old instructor, Ding San Shi, and bowed respectfully.

"Instructor, I want to cultivate."

Those innocent and pure eyes!

That eager expression!

At this moment, Lin Beichen seemed like a devout scholar obsessed with cultivation.

Instructor Ding San Shi was stunned.

Is there such a shameless person in the world?

Who was it that just said, with great passion, that even if he starved to death or died outside, he would never cultivate?

Can he be any more shameless?

At this moment, a commotion suddenly erupted outside the classroom.

Faintly, it seemed that some students were shouting, "The Warlord Tian's mansion has been sealed, the little bastard Lin Beichen has no backing now. Everyone, take your revenge and settle your scores. If not now, when?"

Then, a wave of footsteps, like a tide, surged towards the classroom of the second-year, ninth class.

Lin Beichen was startled.

What the hell...

(To be continued, please turn the page)

...No way?

Is the opportunity to kick someone when they're down coming so quickly?

Instructor Ding San Shi's face also changed, and he rushed out to block the gathering students.

After all, Lin Beichen had accumulated too much hatred. If no one intervened, he might very well be beaten to death by the enraged students in the classroom.

Soon, Instructor Ding San Shi's loud voice could be heard outside.

But it seemed to have no effect.

The students' angry roars rose and fell like a raging fire.

"Lin Beichen, get out here."

"Charge in and beat him to death."

"Lin Beichen, you will pay for your past misdeeds..."

"Your father, Lin Jinan, committed a heinous crime and dared to flee. Your family is a criminal to the empire..."

"Instructor Ding, don't stop us, or we won't be polite to you either."

"Drag that rich brat out and burn him."

The crowd's anger was like a flood breaking through a dam, and the situation was gradually getting out of control. It was clear that Instructor Ding San Shi was struggling to hold back the enraged students outside the classroom.

Inside the classroom, the butler, Wang, trembled.

He stared at Lin Beichen, his eyes darting around, weighing whether to push this culprit out to calm the crowd if the situation got out of hand. After all, it's better to sacrifice a fellow cultivator than to die oneself.

But Lin Beichen actually took the initiative to walk out of the classroom.

At the door, he turned and looked at the butler.

Their eyes met.

Both of them, without any prior agreement, cursed each other in their hearts, "Idiot."

"This moron is going out to die again?"

That's what the butler thought.

"This fool, if he doesn't go out, he'll be trapped in the classroom, and there will be no way to escape..."

That's what Lin Beichen thought.

He stepped outside the classroom.

A crowd of people was blocking the way.

Each of them looked at Lin Beichen with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.

The angry crowd, after a brief moment of silence, was about to erupt. The students, with red eyes, seemed to see their father's killer and rushed towards Lin Beichen with gritted teeth.

Instructor Ding San Shi's attempts to stop them were like a giant statue facing an army of ants, pale and ineffective.

(To be continued, please turn the page)

Just as Lin Beichen's head was about to be smashed open, a clear voice rang out in the crowd.

"Wait."

Instantly, as if by magic, the crowd stopped and fell silent.

The fists that were about to hit Lin Beichen's face also paused.

"Everyone, listen to me for a moment."

A girl in a green academy swordsman uniform walked out.

Her words were like an imperial decree. Even the angriest students obediently stepped back, clearing a space.

Lin Beichen's gaze naturally fell on this girl.

A word popped into his mind—

Damn, she's beautiful.

A girl so beautiful that she seemed almost unreal.

The ordinary green uniform looked like the most fashionable clothing of the season in Yunmeng City on her. She looked like a princess walking among people, radiating a glow that made Lin Beichen, standing in the sunset, feel an urge to shield his eyes.

Her eyebrows were delicately drawn, and her skin was as smooth as jade.

Her neatly tied ponytail added a touch of rare heroism to her.

"Absolutely beautiful to the point of being a crime."

Lin Beichen couldn't help but marvel.

Then, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

A flood of memories surged in his mind.

This stunningly beautiful girl was named Mu Xinyue, ranked first on the "Beauty List" and second on the "Talent List" at the Provincial Third Academy. She was immensely popular in the entire academy and was known as the "Commoner Princess," the dream lover of countless young students.

Her influence even extended beyond the academy, reaching throughout Yunmeng City.

Of course, she had another identity.

The ex-girlfriend of the former self.

If the former self, who was known as the scourge of Yunmeng City, had ever truly cared for someone, it was definitely this "Commoner Princess" Mu Xinyue.

In the year they were together, the former self did countless wrong things, offended countless people, and spent countless amounts of money to please this girl. Most of the absurd, bizarre, and foolish actions of the wasteful son were done silently for this girl.
