Chapter 1472 - 740: Going with the Flow
After hearing this, Lin Beichen looked at the old village chief nervously and asked, "What should we do now? We can’t just watch this happen."
"We must quickly find a way to stop it, or it will be too late."
The old village chief listened to Lin Beichen, nodded slowly, and said, "Yes, that’s why I’ve arranged all of this."
"You’ve been chosen by the Daoist System, so you must take on this responsibility and do everything you can to stop this. We can’t let the people of the Western Church Court succeed."
Lin Beichen, after hearing the village chief, became even more confused. He didn’t understand what was going on.
How has this become related to him having the Daoist System?
Lin Beichen glanced at the old village chief questioningly and asked, "The more I hear, the more confused I get. What does this have to do with my possession of the Daoist System?"
"From what the old village chief is saying, it seems my acquisition of the Daoist System wasn’t a coincidence?"
The old village chief looked at Lin Beichen, and with a serious face, said, "How could that be a coincidence? You’ll understand soon enough."
Lin Beichen found it both frustrating and amusing, feeling as if he had been set up.
Earlier, he was quite pleased with himself for having the Daoist System, thinking he was lucky.
Reflecting on it now, that’s not the case at all. Since the moment he unexpectedly got the Daoist System, he has carried a mission, and now it’s time for him to act.
Thinking of this, Lin Beichen looked up at the old village chief and said, "Old village chief, please stop for a moment, let me sort things out myself."
"My mind is in a mess now, and it’s hard for me to accept all of this."
"Let me think carefully about what I should do next?"
The old village chief, seeing Lin Beichen’s reaction, said nothing more and stood quietly beside Lin Beichen.
Looking at Lin Beichen’s complex expression, the old village chief could understand his feelings at the moment.
Suddenly learning all this, he surely needed a process to accept it. One cannot blame Lin Beichen.
After all, this responsibility is significant, and the old village chief also hoped Lin Beichen could understand.
Lin Beichen fell into deep thought, recalling all that had happened, feeling very conflicted.
The entire person was even somewhat agitated, but he tried to control his emotions.
Lin Beichen tried to calm himself down, desperately avoiding showing any out-of-control emotions in front of the old village chief.
...
Lin Beichen slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then looked at the old village chief and asked, "Then tell me, what should I do next?"
"Also, you need to tell me, why was I brought into this ancient time and space? There must be a reason."
"You couldn’t have arranged all this for no reason. I want to know the detailed reasons behind it. Old village chief, please tell me."
Upon hearing Lin Beichen’s inquiry, the old village chief showed a hint of hesitation but eventually spoke up.
The old village chief slowly walked up to Lin Beichen with a cautious expression and said, "There is a reason for arranging all this, and it’s because your Dao heart is unstable."
"An unstable Dao heart... what do you mean by that?" Lin Beichen slightly furrowed his brow and looked at the old village chief.
The old village chief’s expression showed slight hesitation as he slowly said, "Yes, your Dao heart is unstable, especially in battle. Your killing intent is too strong, and you lack composure."
"This is a big problem for you, so I went to great lengths to arrange all of this, hoping to train you here."
"I hope you can appreciate my good intention and slowly correct these flaws. You carry an important mission, and none of us can be careless."
"I know you may not fully understand, but there’s no choice. For the stability of both the Yin and Yang realms, for your responsibility, I had to do this."
Lin Beichen was speechless for a moment, his mind a mix of emotions.
He didn’t know how to continue speaking with the old village chief. Now that he was arranged to train here, he wondered what he was going to experience next.
Lin Beichen had a foreboding feeling in his heart; the joy he previously felt had disappeared without a trace.
He felt a bit uneasy, thought for a moment, then looked up at the old village chief and asked, "Then how am I supposed to train?"
The old village chief silently bowed his head, thought deeply, and then looked at Lin Beichen with a serious expression and said, "At dawn tomorrow, a large force of soldiers will surround this place."
"What... the place will be surrounded by soldiers, what does that mean?" Lin Beichen asked with a puzzled expression.
The old village chief took a deep breath, gazed emptily outside, and slowly said, "These soldiers are coming for you. Once this place is surrounded, you will be taken away by them."
"You mean... you won’t help me out and instead plan to hand me over, is that what you mean?" Lin Beichen asked angrily, looking at the old village chief.
The old village chief remained silent. He knew that even if he didn’t say it, with Lin Beichen’s intelligence, he would figure out the result.
The old village chief just silently glanced at Lin Beichen, and Lin Beichen understood everything instantly.
He stopped asking further, feeling a bit disappointed. He didn’t expect the old village chief’s arrangement was for him to go through this, to temper his sharpness. Lin Beichen was somewhat puzzled.
But he didn’t want to delve further, feeling a little angry as he looked at the old village chief.
The old village chief looked helpless; he had anticipated this scene long ago.
He knew that Lin Beichen would surely get angry, feel misunderstood, but he still had to do this.
After a moment of silence, the old village chief turned and looked at Lin Beichen and said, "By the way... there’s something I need to clarify with you."
