Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality-Chapter 848 - 427: Confession (Part 2)

"Liu Yunxi, you're the most talkative in our dorm, and you usually can't keep a secret. Now you're not saying anything, do you have a problem with me?"

As soon as those words were out, Liu Yunxi's expression changed dramatically.

"Lin Beichen, I have no issues with you, don't misunderstand."

Liu Yunxi hurriedly said, his face a bit pale.

Lin Beichen looked at him helplessly.

This guy is the most laid-back, but upon recognizing my identity, he's actually the most fearful one.

Having seen the higher-ups, he's terrified, worried that Lin Beichen's mere existence might affect his family.

"Lin Beichen, is Nie Hongchen really dead?"

Liu Yunxi remained silent, and Yan Fuya could only bite the bullet and speak herself.

They were comrades who came together, and she didn't believe Lin Beichen would turn his back on them.

Speaking up indicated a good start.

Lin Beichen smiled faintly and said:

"Do you think it was I who killed him?"

Lin Beichen casually waved his hand, and a token fell into Yan Fuya's hand.

"The reason he died was actually because of his father."

Yan Fuya and the others silently looked at the token, astonished, not understanding what Lin Beichen meant.

However, Chen Fangzhi stared blankly at the token, vaguely understanding Lin Beichen's implication.

"In the face of family interests, individual life and death are of little importance."

Chen Fangzhi said leisurely, completing Lin Beichen's explanation.

Yu Mengjie and the others were just ordinary college students who had never experienced real worldly turmoil, nor did they know what terrible things a large family might do in a life and death crisis.

For ordinary people, the most important things in life are only meals and family health.

But for a family, what they care about is not just these.

Or rather, among the many things they can't let go of, familial affection is the easiest to abandon.

Seeing that the others still couldn't understand, Chen Fangzhi sighed softly.

"Lin Beichen is Master Lin, a major figure whom everyone would seek to curry favor with. Nie Hongchen, however, foolishly offended him."

"Nie Jianghe had clearly pointed out Master Lin's identity, but Nie Hongchen wouldn't listen and kept provoking him.

Even if Lin Beichen didn't kill him, the forces and interests would force Nie Jianghe to kill him to gain credit and seek benefits in front of Lin Beichen.

Even if Lin Beichen doesn't care, so-called divine wrath is unpredictable. Not killing might bring no benefit, but killing certainly won't harm!"

At this point, Chen Fangzhi paused slightly.

"Killing Nie Hongchen might not even require outsiders to act; Nie Jianghe, as the chairman of International Entertainment, would probably kill Nie Hongchen himself to prevent companies from withdrawing investments."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the garden suddenly became extremely oppressive.

Lin Beichen didn't explain too clearly, to take care of their emotions.

However, Chen Fangzhi only said half of it.

In fact, the matter was far from over.

Nie Hongchen's death was merely his own doing.

Whether Nie Hongchen died or not, it couldn't hide the fact that Nie Jianghe had already offended Lin Beichen.

Even though Lin Beichen didn't show anger at the scene, outsiders saw Nie Jianghe as already being blacklisted.

Whether for self-preservation or to mend relationships with Lin Beichen, Nie Jianghe would certainly return.

Chen Fangzhi saw very clearly, Nie Jianghe appeared amicable, but in reality, he was an opportunist.

His relationship with Nie Hongchen wasn't filled with much affection, just a facade in front of others.

To please Lin Beichen, he would use every connection and wouldn't give up until achieving his goal. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

In the entertainment industry, there are many methods to climb connections.

However, Yu Mengjie and the others were girls, so it wasn't convenient for him to say more.

"Lin Beichen, do immortals really exist in this world?"

Yu Mengjie suddenly asked.

"You clearly didn't do anything at the time, why did Nie Hongchen die? And I heard them talking about cultivation and realms, what does that mean?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yanan and others brightened up, nodding repeatedly.

The scene just now was too bizarre, and they couldn't figure it out.

If Yu Mengjie hadn't asked, they wouldn't even know how to start asking.

"This world is very mysterious. What you know is just the tip of the iceberg."

Lin Beichen said with a faint smile, not directly denying it, but hinting.

"On our first day on Xiang Island, remember that Master Huang we met? He was actually a cultivator with divine techniques. At that time, he used an illusion technique, almost entrancing your souls. Do you recall?"

Everyone nodded repeatedly.

Lin Beichen looked at Chen Fangzhi thoughtfully.

At the time, everyone was emotionally shaken, but only Chen Fangzhi remained calm and unshakeable.

Although Master Huang was merely a nominal disciple of Zhou Kuangtian, the magical artifact he held was extraordinary.

To withstand such a level of illusion technique requires a certain level of strength.

This dormitory friend of his might also be someone with an extraordinary background.

Having received an affirmative answer, Yu Mengjie and others widened their eyes, looking at Lin Beichen in surprise.

"Professor, are you also such a person?"

Liu Yunxi asked cautiously.

They were just secular people who hadn't had the opportunity to enter the world of cultivators.

However, during this trip to Xiang Island, they not only saw these things but even met higher-level cultivators.

Lin Beichen silently looked at them, finding that they were indeed very curious.

"What kind of person I am, that's for you to decide."

Lin Beichen said faintly.

If he said some things himself, they wouldn't hold meaning.

Just having entered this world, Liu Yunxi and the others couldn't understand the relationship between spiritual qi and the world, nor the meaning of being a cultivator.

So rather than him saying it, it was better for them to discover it themselves.

Lin Beichen walked to the center of the garden, and then lightly extended a finger.

His finger touched the center of the flowerbed lights, a beam of light gathered on Lin Beichen, and the surrounding flowers suddenly moved rapidly, as if blessed by life spiritual qi, blooming brilliant petals.

A rich fragrance enveloped everyone, though intense, it wasn't unpleasant, instead giving them a refreshing feeling.

"Lin Beichen, you..."

Yuan Yanan looked at Lin Beichen with a complex expression.

Lin Beichen gently shook his head, signaling her not to speak, to carefully perceive.

The withered and flourishing qi he released was like supreme spirit medicine for still-mortal people.

Inhaling more now might lead to living an extra year in the future.

Lin Beichen continued this for a full half a minute before retracting the withered and flourishing qi.

As he finished this, Liu Yunxi suddenly became excited.

"Lin Beichen, you're the heir of the old Immortal, aren't you?"

Liu Yunxi excitedly gestured.

"When I was six, I got a strange disease. My father invited countless famous doctors, but none could cure me, until a Buddhist Sect master from a distant mountain helped me recover."

When Liu Yunxi spoke of this, even after ten years, he was deeply reverent.

"The old Immortal gave me an elixir, and then used various precious herbs to make a medicinal bath for me.

It was miraculous. After taking the bath and getting silver needle acupuncture, in just three days I was cured."

"You've had such an encounter, why haven't you mentioned it before?"

Yu Mengjie asked curiously.

"Why would I talk about it?

The old Immortal didn't take me as a disciple. After treating me, my father wanted to profusely thank him, but a day later, the old Immortal disappeared.

In nearly twenty years since, I've never seen that old Immortal again."

Liu Yunxi said with a bitter smile, clearly regretting missing an immortal fate.

Hearing this, everyone looked back at Lin Beichen.

They hadn't met the old Immortal, but Lin Beichen was right here, wasn't he?

Being a good brother from the same dormitory, Lin Beichen should be easier to talk to than the old Immortal, right?
