He bore the blame, but never excused it.
In just one year, the previous Lin Beichen almost squandered all properties of the Mansion of Heaven-fighting Marquis and bought various cultivation resources for Mu Xinyue. He turned the once ordinary girl into a "Civilian Princess".
But three days ago, the girl had decided to break up with Lin Beichen on the excuse of his lousy reputation after failing to get a bottle of Mystery Energy-breeding Potion worth 500 gold coins.
It was such a ma.s.sive blow to the previous Lin Beichen that at the sight of Mu Xinyue, the unincorporated memories in the back of his mind roared out.
Grief came up like a river and almost drowned him.
"Well, I never thought we"d see each other like this again," Mu Xinyue sighed.
The faint sigh almost broke the hearts of many schoolboys around.
This was the sigh of their G.o.ddess.
Many male students looked at her fondly, their eyes full of fanaticism and infatuation.
"Your father, Lin Jinnan, used to be the pride of Cloudy Dream City and a hero of the empire, but because he made a mistake, causing so many innocent soldiers to die, he changed from hero to sinner. From now on, you and Lin Tingchan will both live in a deep sin that will never be exonerated," Mu Xinyue said in a tone of great regret, looking at Lin Beichen.
"But don"t worry. I"m not gonna kick you now for this. After all, you helped me. I"ll give you a hand today..."
Speaking of this, she looked around at the students and said, "Everybody, I hope you won"t embarra.s.s Lin Beichen today. After all, he has been so kind to me. I can"t be ungrateful. I owe you one. If you need any help from me in the future, please feel free to let me know... Since today, no matter what you want to do, I will not stand in the way."
"Ah, G.o.ddess Mu, you are so polite."
"You are so kind, G.o.ddess Xinyue. This wicked man used to haunt you like that, but you help him now..."
"Everyone, go, go."
"Anyone who embarra.s.ses G.o.ddess Xinyue is embarra.s.sing me."
"All right, let him go tonight. We"ll deal with Lin Beichen this b.a.s.t.a.r.d in the next morning."
Countless male students with an intoxicated and ingratiating smile left while looking back repeatedly at the girl every step they took.
Ding Sans.h.i.+, the old teacher, was struck dumb by what he saw.
He wanted to smash his head against the wall.
As a veteran teacher, he had built a reputation for 15 years, but his loud voice failed to stop the students, while a few words of understatement from a teenage girl scattered the crowd.
He was ashamed.
He took a dispirited look at Lin Beichen in silence, sighed, shook his head, and turned to leave.
"Lin Beichen, you don"t have to thank me. From now on, we"re even. I"ll give you a piece of advice: be an ordinary person, forget everything between us, mind your mouth, and forget the aristocratic life before... It may be a blessing for you."
With that, Mu Xinyue tossed her ponytail smartly and walked away.
Lin Beichen looked after his "ex-girlfriend" and suddenly began to laugh.
Great!
She was so great!
In a few words, she completely separated herself from "Lin Beichen" and gained a good reputation of "being grateful" to him. And she made it clear that she wouldn"t stand in the way when the students tried to deal with Lin Beichen after today.
The previous Lin Beichen treated her with his whole heart and even ruined his reputation, but what he had done saved him from getting beaten up tonight.
He met a high-grade green tea b.i.t.c.h.
Lin Beichen sighed with emotion, and the next second, he forgot about it.
He was not at all sad.
What was it used for having a pretty girlfriend?
Could she feed him?
No!
Then, let her go.
All he could think about was how to get back to earth.
Before he realized how long he thought about it, Lin Beichen gave a sudden jerk and started to talk to himself, "No, the most important thing is... The school is too dangerous. There are still a lot of people to beat me up tomorrow. I must escape."
At this point, Steward w.a.n.g emerged like a ghost.
He leaned over and said faintly, "Young Master, you may have overthought. It"s more dangerous outside. If you don"t believe me, just look outside."
Lin Beichen twisted his neck stiffly and looked away toward the school gate.
He saw the gleam of the flashes and shadows of swords, as well as cold light.
At the gate of the Third Provincial Junior Swordsman College was a sea of people, with the glint and flash of cold steel. The atmosphere was chilly.
"Lin Beichen, you little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, get out..."
"I"ll stop you even if I, Zhang Zhenmei, have to be here for 10 years. Lin Beichen, I will eat your flesh and drink your blood!"
"Lin Beichen, I"m Xiang Kun. Do you remember me? Get out and go to h.e.l.l."
"If you have guts, come out, you foppish black sheep!"
There were cries of defiance of all kinds. At the front door, back door and side door of the Third Provincial Junior College were all blocked up by all sorts of people so tightly that not a fly could fly out, let alone a bird.
The sight scared Lin Beichen and his old steward into running towards the deep of the campus.
In the deep of the campus, Lin Beichen squatted on the front steps of the cla.s.sroom, looking helpless and miserable.
Next to him crouched Steward w.a.n.g, who also looked helpless and miserable.
"Young Master, what are you thinking about?"
"Go away!"
"You are my Young Master. You are adaptable to circ.u.mstances and resourceful. You surrendered to the old teacher on the spot and successfully stayed in the school. Even Mu Xinyue was covetous of your charm and spoke up for you... Those enemies outside dare not enter the college. There"s nothing they can do about you tonight."
"Shut up."
"But Young Master, you must be prepared..."
"I don"t want to talk to you."
"Young Master, I"m serious. I have a bad presentiment. By the time the bad news gets around, when you go to school tomorrow, there may be a lot of students you"ve offended in the past who will be stuck in front of the cla.s.sroom, lining up to beat you..."
"d.a.m.n you... If you don"t know how to talk, talk less."
Lin Beichen got up and unbearably gave the creepy old man a kick.
This time he wasn"t trying to look like Lin Beichen.
He just wanted to kick him.
"Alas, life is so hard," groaned Lin Beichen after the kick.
He wanted to come back to earth.
But before he could go back, he must at least survive.
The only good news was that the North Sea Empire attached great importance to the education of reserve talents. Since the founding emperor, the empire had strictly stipulated in law that in order to protect the purity of the campus, no people other than teachers and students were allowed to break into the national and provincial colleges to make trouble.
Otherwise, offenders would be severely punished.
In other words, Lin Beichen was safe as long as he was on campus.
Once out of school, he would be in danger.
