Chapter 86

"There hasn't been anything between Miss Chen and me."

Lin Beichen said, "It's not what you think..."

Ling Taiwu directly interrupted, "Then hurry up and make it happen the way I imagine. My granddaughter is a prodigy, and her beauty is unmatched in Yunmeng City. Moreover, with my years of experience in the world of pleasure, I can responsibly tell you that in a few more years, when Chen'er's body develops further, the places that should be plump will be plump, and the places that should be firm will be firm. Her features will mature, and not only in Yunmeng City, but even in the entire Fengyu Province and the Beihai Empire, she will be the most beautiful woman. Xiao Beichen, this opportunity won't come again."

Lin Beichen was speechless.

How afraid are you that your granddaughter won't get married?

"I'm still young and don't want to think about these romantic affairs right now." Lin Beichen gave his reason.

"What nonsense?" Ling Taiwu said indignantly, "When the flowers are in bloom, you must pick them; don't wait until there are no flowers left to pick. Young people should be free and unrestrained. I admired the carefree you of the past. Why have you changed? You've become hesitant and timid, which really disappoints me."

Lin Beichen: (￣ー￣)

He no longer wanted to continue this conversation.

He also didn't want to continue talking to this crazy principal.

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." He placed his hand on the doorknob.

Ling Taiwu snapped his fingers cheerfully.

Snap.

A series of pale golden mystic patterns flashed on the doorknob and the door frame, forming a vivid thorn bird pattern on the door, sealing the entire office.

"Want to leave?"

Ling Taiwu poured himself another glass of bright red wine and said slowly, "Don't think that just because you've entered the main competition of the Tianjiao Tournament and obtained the Tianjiao Token, you can be worry-free in Yunmeng City. I'll tell you, your big trouble is just beginning."

Lin Beichen tried to turn the doorknob but found it useless. He asked casually, "What big trouble?"

Ling Taiwu said, "Have you heard of Baiyun City?"

"Of course, I have."

Lin Beichen replied.

In the Beihai Empire, the deity worshipped is the Lord of Swords, and swordsmen are found everywhere.

In addition to the primary, secondary, and advanced academies set up by the royal family in various provinces, which continuously cultivate swordsmen for the empire, there are also three swordsmanship holy sites with supreme status within the country.

These are Baiyun City, Nongjian Pavilion, and Xiaojie Sword Abyss.

Among them, Baiyun City has the closest relationship with the imperial family.

Its founder, Chu Tiankuo, the Great Swordsman, was the senior brother of Li Jianxin, the founding holy emperor of the Beihai Empire. These two swordsmanship prodigies from outside Dongdao Zhenzhou had a deep bond, so Baiyun City is also regarded as the imperial holy religion of the Beihai Empire.

Even a fool would have heard of these things.

They are described in detail in the textbooks of modern and contemporary imperial history in the primary academies of various provinces.

Swordsmen from Baiyun City are renowned and can be found in all military and political systems of the empire.

For example, the current right chancellor of the empire, Zuo Luyi, is one of the seven current disciples of Baiyun City.

Within the Beihai Empire, the status and power of Baiyun City are comparable to the royal family.

It is rumored that the royal family selects some talented and intelligent princes and princesses each year to send to Baiyun City for training.

But what does Baiyun City have to do with me?

Lin Beichen was puzzled.

Ling Taiwu continued with a malicious smile, "Chen'er is the fiancée of Wei Mingchen, a prodigy of the new generation of Baiyun City, and this Wei Mingchen is extremely terrifying..."

Lin Beichen was stunned.

Fiancée?

Engaged?

How did this conversation turn into such a big surprise?

He stroked his chin and asked, "How terrifying is he?"

"Let me put it this way, Wei Mingchen is not only a prodigy but also has a prominent status and power. He is considered one of the future seven disciples of Baiyun City. His master, Bai Haiqin, is one of the three famous swords of Baiyun City. His grandmaster, Shen Zhifei, is one of the current seven disciples of Baiyun City, on par with the right chancellor Zuo Luyi. More importantly, Wei Mingchen's father, Wei Shuang, is the highest administrative official of Qiancao Province. Even when your father, Zhan Tianhou, was still in power, his status and power were hard to match Wei Shuang's."

As Ling Taiwu spoke, he watched Lin Beichen's expression.

Sure enough, Lin Beichen's face changed.

"Is Wei Mingchen, being a prodigy of Baiyun City, broad-minded?"

He asked.

Ling Taiwu sipped his wine and chuckled, "On the contrary, this young man is notoriously narrow-minded and vengeful. I've heard that once, someone accidentally blocked his mystic beast from sunbathing for a second, and he pursued and hunted them for ten days and nights, eventually breaking their limbs and destroying their spirit sea..."

Oh my.

Lin Beichen rubbed his forehead.

What the hell is this?

Ling Taiwu became even happier as he watched Lin Beichen's expression and said, "Besides, it's not about being broad-minded. If a man hears that he's been cuckolded and still remains calm and tolerates it, he's either a cuckold or a fool."

Lin Beichen's teeth ached as he listened.

No argument there.

He could imagine that once his interactions with Lin Chen in the training camp were heard by Wei Mingchen, a conflict would be inevitable. Explaining that "I didn't sleep with your fiancée" would likely not only fail to convince him but also make things worse.

"Young man, don't be afraid. I support you. It's the era of free love now, and arranged marriages are outdated. I support you and Chen'er being together." Ling Taiwu said, taking out a stack of secret manuals from his pocket, fanning them out and showing them to Lin Beichen.

Lin Beichen vaguely saw some names like "Blazing Sunlight," "Water Moon Strike," and "Purifying World Demon-Breaking Aura"... They sounded quite valuable.

"Look, these are the cultivation techniques I've carefully selected for you. Sword techniques, body strengthening, lightness skills, and qi cultivation, all are included," Ling Taiwu said, "As long as you practice diligently, in another ten to twenty years, you can stand on equal footing with Wei Mingchen."

Practice for ten to twenty years?

Dream on.

Lin Beichen was focused on returning to Earth and had no interest in cultivation techniques that required such a long time to master.

"Judging by your choice of the 'Wuxiang Sword Bone' as a prize at the mid-year competition, I think you're not very good at selecting cultivation techniques. I'll choose them for you." Ling Taiwu put away the manuals, leaving only two, and handed them over, saying, "These are the techniques I've created in my lifetime, one is a sword technique, and the other is a lightness skill. Take them and practice."

Lin Beichen took a look.

The two techniques were "Flower Under the Moonlight Sword" and "Steal Fragrance and Pluck Jade Step."

Why do these names sound so erotic?

He took the "Flower Under the Moonlight Sword" manual and flipped through the preface, surprised, and looked up, "This sword technique... is actually a two-star sword technique?"
