Here Comes the Immortal Swordsman Chapter 85 – Two

“Nothing happened between me and Miss Chen,” said Lin Beichen, “it's not what you think…”

Ling Taixu immediately interrupted him and said, “Then make it happen in the direction I expect. My granddaughter is incredibly talented and she is also the most beautiful girl in Cloudy Dream City. Furthermore, based on my experience for years in the places of debaucher, I'm very responsible for telling you that after a few years, Chen'er's body is developing and she will have a plump figure. At that time, coupled with more delicate features, she can be regarded as the most beautiful woman in the entire Wind-language Province, and even in the North Sea Empire, let alone Cloudy Dream City. Beichen, you must not miss such a girl!”

Lin Beichen was speechless.

“How afraid are you that no man will marry your granddaughter?”

“I'm still young, and I don't want to consider any love affairs now.” Lin Beichen explained.

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Ling Taixu said very indignantly, “Gather ye rosebuds while ye may. The young should be carefree and unrestrained. I admire you for being able to do whatever you wanted in the past. Why have you changed now? You've become so hesitant and overcautious. I'm really disappointed in you.”

Lin Beichen: (￣ ー ￣)

He didn't want to continue this topic anymore.

He didn't want to talk to the lunatic principal any longer, either.

“Principal, if you have nothing else to say, I'll take my leave first.”

He pressed his palm on the door handle.

Ling Taixu happily snapped his fingers.

Snap.

On the door handle and the door frame, many light golden mystery marks flashed, outlining a vivid Mystery Mark Formation of thorn birds on the door and sealing the whole office.

“Do you want to leave?”

Ling Taixu smiled and poured himself another glass of bright red wine. He said slowly, “Although you've entered the main draw of the Talent Battle and obtained the Talent Token, don't think that you'll be able to rest easy in Cloudy Dream City. I'm telling you, your big trouble has just arrived.”

Lin Beichen twisted the door handle and found it indeed useless. He asked perfunctorily, “Big trouble?”

Ling Taixu said, “Have you ever heard of Baiyun City?”

“Of course.” Lin Beichen replied.

The god believed by the North Sea Empire was the Lord of Sword, and swordsmen were all over the world.

In addition to the junior, intermediate, and advanced colleges established by the royal family in the major provinces so that talents in swordsmanship could be constantly trained and provided for the empire, there were also three major sacred places with supreme status in the empire.

They were the Baiyun City, the Nongjian Group, and the Xiaojie Sword Abysm.

Among them, the Baiyun City was on best terms with the royal family.

Its founder Chu Tiankuo, a Great Sword Expert, was the senior brother of Li Jianxin who was the founding emperor of the North Sea Empire. They were both talents in swordsmanship coming from outside the East Truth Continent. They were sworn friends, so the Baiyun City was also regarded as the national patron sect of the North Sea Empire.

Even fools had heard of these things.

These were expounded in the textbooks of the Empire's Modern and Recent History of the junior colleges in major provinces.

Swordsmen who came out of Baiyun City were well-known around the empire and could be seen everywhere in the major military and political systems of the empire.

For example, the current Right Chief Minister of the empire, Zuo Luyi, was one of the seven successors of Baiyun City.

In the territory of the North Sea Empire, the status and power of the Baiyun City were comparable to those of the royal family.

It was said that the royal family would pick out talented princes and princesses each year and send them to the Baiyun City for further cultivation.

“But what does the Baiyun City have to do with me?”

Lin Beichen was confused.

Ling Taixu gloated and added, “Chen'er is the fiancée of Wei Mingchen who is a genius of the rising generation. The marriage was determined when they were unborn. Speaking of Wei Mingchen, this man has a very horrifying background…”

Lin Beichen froze.

Engagement when they were unborn?

Fiancée?

What sensational news!

He touched his chin and said, “Exactly how horrifying is that?”

“Let me tell you. Wei Mingchen is not only a genius in cultivation, but has prominent status and power. He is regarded as one of the seven future successors of the Baiyun City. His master, Bai Haiqin, is one of the three most famous swordsmen in the Baiyun City, and his grandmaster, Shen Zhifei, as one of the current seven successors of the Baiyun City, has the same authority as Zuo Luyi who is the Right Chief Minister of the empire. But more importantly, Wei Mingchen's father, Wei Shuang, is the chief executive of Qiancao Province. Even though your father is still in power, he cannot match Wei Shuang in terms of power and status.”

Ling Taixu said as he noticed Lin Beichen's expression.

When he heard the principal out, Lin Beichen's expressions changed.

He asked, “Since the man called Wei Mingchen is the genius of the Baiyun City, he must be broad-minded, right?”

Ling Taixu smiled as he tasted the wine. “On the contrary, this young man is notoriously narrow-minded and vengeful. It's said that because someone once incautiously blocked the sunshine on his Mystery Mark pet for a second, he chased after the former for 10 days and nights, and eventually broke his limbs and ruined his spiritual field…”

“Dammit.”

Lin Beichen rubbed his head.

“What the hell?”

The more Ling Taixu looked at Lin Beichen's expression, the happier he became. He said, “Moreover, this has nothing to do with one's mind. If a man is able to remain calm, hold back his anger, and say nothing after hearing that he has been cuckolded, then he is either a fool or a coward.”

Lin Beichen felt a sharp pain in his teeth.

Ling Taixu was right.

It was conceivable that once the interaction between him and Ling Chen in the training camp was heard by Wei Mingchen, a dispute was absolutely inevitable… And if he then explained that he actually did not sleep with Wei Mingchen's fiancée, it would not only be unpersuasive, but add fuel to the fire and bring himself a more miserable end.

“Young man, don't be afraid. I'm on your side. It is an era of free love now. An engagement when both parties are unborn is out of date. I'm rooting for you to stay with Chen'er.” Ling Taixu said as he took out a stack of secret booklets from his inner pockets. Then, he displayed them in the shape of a fan in his hand.

Lin Beichen vaguely saw several cool and dazzling names, such as Bright Sunshine, Water Moon Strike, Wind of Purifying and Destroying the Devil, and so on… They seemed to be very precious.

“Look, these are the martial skills that I have carefully selected for you, including the ones about swordplay, body refining, walking and stepping, and cultivation of Mystery Energy,” Ling Taixu said, “As long as you focus on your cultivation and work hard, in another 10 or 20 years, you will be able to fight against Wei Mingchen.”

“20 years of cultivation?

“You must be dreaming.”

Lin Beichen had devoted all his energy to going back to the Earth. He had no interest in the secret skills that he could grasp in 10 or 20 years.

“Considering that you chose such trash as the Formless Sword Bone as the award of the Midyear Competition, I think you probably don't know how to choose battle skills. Let me directly choose some for you.” Ling Taixu took back the battle skill booklets in his hand, leaving only two. He handed them to Lin Beichen and said, “These are the martial skills I created with my life's effort. One is about swordsmanship, and the other is about walking and stepping. Take them back and practice them.”

Lin Beichen took a look.

The two martial skills were Swordsmanship of Everlasting Love and Beauty-stealing Walk.

Why did the two names sound very erotic?

He took it over and casually opened the manual of the Swordsmanship of Everlasting Love. After reading the introduction to the manual, he looked up in surprise and said, “It… is actually a two-star sword skill?”
