Chapter 1394 - 700: Explaining the Origins
The missionaries were very unconvinced by Lin Beichen. They had heard of Lin Beichen’s feats for a long time, but always thought they were just rumors, not credible. Therefore, they had been looking for an opportunity to have a showdown with Lin Beichen to see if the rumors were true.
Upon seeing Lin Beichen, they used all sorts of languages to provoke him, trying to anger him into competing with them to prove those rumors wrong, and put their minds at ease.
Lin Beichen did not expect to encounter this group of missionaries as soon as he stepped out, and the other party seemed to be deliberately waiting for him here, with no intention of letting him go. This made him quite displeased.
He had no grievances with these missionaries and usually had no interaction with them. He couldn’t understand why they were acting this way. He didn’t know what the missionaries’ purpose was or what they wanted to do.
However, Lin Beichen didn’t have much time to ponder these things; he had to leave quickly and couldn’t entangle himself with these missionaries. Once he understood their purpose, he had no interest in dealing with them, as he had urgent matters to attend to.
Competing with these missionaries would only delay him, and he had no mood for that. Moreover, these missionaries were not his match, and competing with them was simply a waste of time.
The other party was very angry at Lin Beichen’s refusal to engage with them, thinking Lin Beichen’s refusal to compete was a sign of looking down on them, a discrimination against them. They decided to take the initiative and teach Lin Beichen a lesson.
However, they underestimated Lin Beichen. With Lin Beichen’s power, even combined, they weren’t his match. Seeing these people attack proactively, Lin Beichen responded without hesitation, taking them on directly.
He countered every move mercilessly, but without intending to harm them. He just wanted to teach them a lesson, make them think twice before acting, leaving some leeway for others.
In no time, these missionaries were subdued by Lin Beichen. Lin Beichen looked at them angrily and said, "I have no grievances with you, so why are you bothering me? I don’t want to harm you, but please don’t show up in front of me again with such arrogance. I detest people like that the most."
"Today, out of respect for the elder, I am letting you off. I hope you act wisely and stop doing such time-wasting things." Lin Beichen warned these missionaries.
The missionaries also witnessed Lin Beichen’s power, understanding that the rumors outside were indeed true. Even together, they were not Lin Beichen’s match, which made them feel somewhat ashamed.
The missionaries, upon observing Lin Beichen’s demeanor, were quite surprised. They originally thought Lin Beichen would never let them off easily.
To their surprise, not only did Lin Beichen not strike them, but he also advised them kindly, urging them to behave wisely.
The missionaries never expected that Lin Beichen was not only powerful but also possessed such an outstanding character.
His kindness deeply impressed the missionaries.
They humbly accepted Lin Beichen’s teachings.
Today’s incident was actually unrelated to Lin Beichen; it was entirely their own doing, a result of their overconfidence.
For such an outcome, they were already content.
They originally thought Lin Beichen would severely punish them or even threaten their lives.
But none of this happened, and the missionaries were deeply moved by Lin Beichen’s benevolence.
Looking at Lin Beichen, their faces were full of guilt as they said, "We are truly sorry. We were too reckless and have offended you."
"You are so magnanimous, not holding grudges against us. We really feel inferior."
"We also saw your kindness and were truly touched. I promise you, we will never cause trouble again in the future."
"You have taught us an important lesson: to be humble and low-key in life, which is beneficial for ourselves."
Upon hearing the missionaries’ words, Lin Beichen nodded satisfactorily, seeing that they genuinely recognized their mistakes.
Seeing that they were willing to admit their mistakes, Lin Beichen did not want to argue with them any further.
After saying this, Lin Beichen hurriedly left.
He continued on and arrived at a place called Sagely Town.
The scenery here was picturesque, making people feel relaxed and happy. Upon stepping into Sagely Town,
one could feel a lively atmosphere, with people coming and going in the streets, everyone busy with their lives.
This scene made Lin Beichen feel extremely warm, as it had been a long time since he had seen such a scene.
After being cooped up in a room cultivating every day, suddenly seeing a scene like this made him feel a unique sense of intimacy.
However, while enjoying this lively atmosphere, Lin Beichen also felt a trace of oddness.
But he couldn’t quite put his finger on what exactly this oddness was.
He strolled down the streets, observing everything around him carefully, trying to find clues from it.
He came here today with important business to attend to, and before that, he had to understand the situation here clearly.
Lin Beichen walked along, appreciating the surroundings and people, but he remained highly vigilant.
Since entering Sagely Town, Lin Beichen had been especially cautious, remaining fully aware of everything happening around him.
He maintained a high level of alertness towards anyone approaching him, giving them no chance.
The journey was relatively smooth, apart from encountering those missionaries, Lin Beichen had not run into any other trouble.
However, as he walked down the main street of Sagely Town,
a strangely dressed man suddenly appeared and approached Lin Beichen.
