Chapter 1393 - 699: Blocked, Part 2
He had been looking for an opportunity, and when he saw Hu Yi alone, bad intentions arose, and he wanted to make a move on her, so he followed her to the room.
The missionary thought he was hiding well, but did not realize that Hu Yi had already noticed him. He quietly hid, planning to act later in the deep of night.
Although Hu Yi was afraid inside, she pretended to be calm and thought about what to do. Just when she felt desperate, she suddenly thought of Lin Beichen, and a wave of joy surged in her heart.
She secretly said, "I can pretend nothing is wrong and leave the room, go find Master, and tell him about this. I believe Master can definitely resolve it."
Hu Yi was also curious inside, wondering who could be so idle, following her so late at night, not knowing what their true purpose was.
The missionary was waiting to act against Hu Yi, but in the blink of an eye, he found she had disappeared. He searched around the room but couldn’t find Hu Yi, feeling a bit frustrated.
He murmured to himself, "Trying to escape my grasp, let’s see if you have that ability. I don’t believe you won’t return to this room, I’ll wait and see."
"Since you are Lin Beichen’s beloved disciple, I will target you; it’s all Lin Beichen’s fault, don’t blame me. He’s the reason I was expelled from the sect, I must avenge this, I can’t let him off so easily."
The missionary thought hiding here would allow him to take revenge against Lin Beichen and succeed, yet he didn’t expect his plans had long been discovered by Hu Yi.
Hu Yi took the opportunity to quietly leave while he wasn’t paying attention, to seek help from Lin Beichen. She feigned nonchalance walking out of the room, letting out a long sigh of relief.
She quickly went to Lin Beichen’s side, and Lin Beichen, seeing her in a hurry, was somewhat surprised: "What’s wrong, what happened?"
Hu Yi tried to remain calm, not wanting Lin Beichen to see her lose composure, but was still very nervous. She looked at Lin Beichen fearfully and said: "Master, someone is following me, all the way to my room."
"I managed to sneak out when he wasn’t paying attention, not knowing who he is or what he wants, I’m really scared, don’t know what to do, so I came to find you."
"What? Someone intruded into your room?" Lin Beichen asked in surprise. Hu Yi hurriedly nodded.
Lin Beichen was very angry upon hearing this, following Hu Yi in the dead of night, even entering her room, there must be a purpose.
He quickly consoled the nervous Hu Yi: "Don’t be afraid, take me to have a look. Who is so bold to enter your room at this time, it’s absurd."
Hu Yi led Lin Beichen back to the room hastily, while the missionary hadn’t realized danger was approaching.
He was still swaggering around Hu Yi’s room, waiting for her to return, hoping to succeed in his revenge against Lin Beichen.
At this moment, Lin Beichen and Hu Yi discovered him. Lin Beichen saw it was the missionary expelled from the sect, feeling incredulous.
He appeared in front of the missionary in an instant, and swiftly subdued him while the missionary was unprepared. The missionary was taken by surprise, unaware he had been captured by Lin Beichen, feeling very dissatisfied, struggling desperately in Lin Beichen’s grasp. But how could Lin Beichen allow him the chance to escape?
When the elder received the news, he hurried over. After hearing the crowd’s account, the elder was simply incredulous, the missionary actually infiltrated the Daoist temple again, committing such acts, which made the elder deeply disappointed in the missionary.
The elder had originally only expelled the missionary from the sect, not abolishing his Daoist art, hoping he could repent and start anew. However, the missionary hadn’t gained Enlightenment of the elder’s painstaking intentions, instead using Daoist art to harm others.
Now caught by Lin Beichen, the elder felt utterly ashamed. He looked at the missionary with a face full of disappointment, reproaching: "You disobedient disciple, despite being taught countless times, you refuse to change! I’ve already given you chances, why do you persist in revenge?"
"It seems I really was too merciful before, these Daoist arts really shouldn’t have been left to you, otherwise you’ll only continue to harm others." After speaking, the elder mercilessly abolished the missionary’s Daoist art, not sparing him even a bit, directly breaking his bones and ordering others to throw him out of the Daoist temple.
Seeing the elder appear, calming the situation and sternly punishing the missionary, Lin Beichen didn’t say much more. However, he felt deeply disappointed with the missionary’s actions.
The elder walked in front of Lin Beichen, apologetically looking at him and said: "I apologize, I promised you before that such a thing would not happen again. It was my mishandling that caused you trouble, I sincerely apologize to you."
"I wonder if you are satisfied with my handling today? If you have any requests, please feel free to raise them, and I will unconditionally meet them." The elder’s attitude was sincere, apologizing once again to Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen was hesitant to refuse further, he walked up to the elder and said: "It’s alright, thankfully you intervened in time to prevent all of this. It didn’t cause irreparable harm. I have no objections to your handling of it. This person was under your command, naturally it should be dealt with by you."
"No need to apologize to me, it’s good that the matter has been resolved." The elder saw Lin Beichen accept his apology, yet still felt deeply troubled inside. The actions of the missionary made him feel disgraced.
However, as things had come to this, the elder was powerless. After dealing with this matter, he hurriedly left.
Beside them, Hu Yi still looked very frightened, unable to calm down for a long time. She felt terrified whenever she thought about the incident. She couldn’t imagine how severe the consequences might have been if they hadn’t discovered it in time tonight.
Hu Yi simply couldn’t believe how strong the desire for revenge in that person was, all this was clearly premeditated. Lin Beichen, seeing Hu Yi still uneasy, comforted her: "Don’t be afraid, the elder has abolished his Daoist art, and now he is powerless to commit further evil."
"This matter is already over, don’t dwell on it anymore, focus on cultivation." Although she heard Lin Beichen’s consolation, Hu Yi still found it hard to let go inside.
She pulled Lin Beichen and pleaded: "Master, I beg you, teach me some Daoist art, so I can use it for self-defense. If I encounter danger again, at least I can protect myself, I don’t want to experience such a thrilling scene again."
Hu Yi earnestly pleaded for Lin Beichen to teach her defensive Daoist art, which made Lin Beichen feel a bit helpless. But seeing her panic-stricken appearance, Lin Beichen was reluctant to refuse.
He looked at Hu Yi with concern and said: "Alright, don’t be afraid, I promise you. Now you need to rest well, stop overthinking, come find me tomorrow."
After saying this, Lin Beichen left. Watching his departing figure, Hu Yi still sat there in a state of frightened soul. This incident had too profound an impact on her, although it was stopped in time, she still couldn’t forget the feeling of fear and despair.
If not for Lin Beichen and the elder appearing in time, she wouldn’t know what predicament she would face. After leaving Hu Yi’s room, Lin Beichen also felt a bit unhappy inside. But the elder’s voice of apology kept ringing in his ears, making him feel a bit uneasy.
After the crowd dispersed, Hu Yi lay in bed, her heart filled with excitement. Lin Beichen promised to teach her Daoist art, which made her unable to sleep all night, eagerly anticipating the arrival of the next day.
She longed to follow Lin Beichen’s guidance and gradually become stronger. That night, Hu Yi felt time dragging on for the first time, seemingly endless. She kept her eyes open until the horizon turned pale white.
When the day dawned, Hu Yi couldn’t wait to get up, she dressed carefully, then hurriedly went to find Lin Beichen. However, Lin Beichen had already left the Daoist temple, seemingly having urgent matters to attend to, not informing Hu Yi.
Hu Yi searched everywhere but could not see Lin Beichen’s figure, feeling extremely disappointed. She clearly remembered Lin Beichen’s promise last night, but didn’t expect after just one night, everything seemed to have changed. She began to doubt if Lin Beichen was not keeping his word, if he was only perfunctory with her.
This feeling of disappointment made Hu Yi feel very sad, she had never felt so lost before. Today, she truly experienced this feeling clearly.
Actually, Lin Beichen did not intentionally break his agreement or avoid Hu Yi, he truly had urgent matters to handle, and it was so pressing that he left hastily without notifying Zhou Yi.
He hadn’t anticipated Hu Yi would come looking for him so early, disappointing her was not Lin Beichen’s intention. After leaving the Daoist temple, Lin Beichen encountered a group of missionaries.
