Chapter 1335: Chapter 671: Hypocritical Face

Huo Ziyan’s face suddenly turned crimson, and she stammered without being able to speak, only nodding slightly.

"This child." Huo Minghao shook his head with a laugh, "We won’t keep you any longer, Lin Beichen, take care on your way."

Lin Beichen did not linger, turning around to rush to his next destination.

How could he not see Huo Ziyan’s affection for him? But now, he was burdened with a heavy responsibility, and until he completed his mission, he didn’t want to be distracted by other matters.

Watching Lin Beichen’s resolute departing figure, Huo Ziyan couldn’t help but rub her eyes, trying hard to hold back her tears.

She knew she couldn’t keep Lin Beichen, but she found it difficult to suppress her inner emotions. What’s more, she was at the age of first love, and her feelings for Lin Beichen ran deep.

Before getting in the car, Huo Ziyan took one last deep look in the direction Lin Beichen had left, though his figure was no longer visible, and then followed Huo Sizun and Huo Minghao to leave.

Since he decided to leave, Lin Beichen planned to first go back to his place to pack, and then get some necessary items.

In modern society, even with Daoist Skill for protection, some daily necessities were still indispensable.

"Go back and pack my things first, think about what else I need to buy, and then head to the nearby supermarket..." Lin Beichen silently calculated in his mind.

Focused only on pondering what things he needed to take, he didn’t notice someone blocking his path in front.

"Throw away anything unnecessary, otherwise it’ll take up too much space, hmm?"

Suddenly feeling that he had bumped into someone, Lin Beichen quickly looked at the person, seeing a plump middle-aged man. He quickly apologized, "Sorry, I didn’t notice someone in front."

The middle-aged man’s face darkened, discontentedly saying, "Me standing here so big, and you say you didn’t see me?"

Lin Beichen noticed that this middle-aged man seemed to be deliberately looking for trouble, but thinking it better to avoid unnecessary conflicts, and since it was indeed his fault, he sincerely apologized again: "I was lost in thought just now and really didn’t notice."

Even after such an apology, any normal person would have quelled their anger. But this middle-aged man clearly didn’t want to let Lin Beichen off easily.

"If apologies worked, why would we need the police?"

Lin Beichen’s expression darkened, deciding not to engage further, he directly walked past him.

The middle-aged man, seeing that he was being ignored, was visibly agitated: "Stop! Who exactly are you to have so many people wrapped around your finger?"

Lin Beichen found it baffling, as he hadn’t even asked who this middle-aged man was, yet the man was asking about him instead. But he didn’t pay it much attention, as there had been many people curious about his secrets, this was not the first time, so he had long grown accustomed to it.

Their commotion wasn’t small, attracting curious gazes from passersby on the street.

Lin Beichen didn’t want to attract unnecessary attention, so he took a deep breath and continued toward home.

He had no intention of dealing with that middle-aged man any further, but unexpectedly, the man directly grabbed him by the arm: "Hey, kid, you haven’t answered me yet."

Lin Beichen shook off the man’s hand, his expression icy, his tone impatient: "What exactly do you want?"

"My name is Ji Fan, and I am a PhD." Ji Fan adjusted his clothes, "I’ve heard a bit about your deeds, but in my view, you’re just a fraud."

Ji Fan continued, "You know a few tricks, which is why you have made such a spectacle in public. I will prove to everyone through my actions that you are nothing more than a fraud who performs small tricks."

The other party clearly had bad intentions, looking at Ji Fan’s disdainful face, Lin Beichen didn’t have the time to argue and scoffed, "Suit yourself."

Lin Beichen indeed told Ji Fan to do as he wished, but he never expected that this man would actually bring reporters over and make reckless remarks in front of so many cameras. What on earth was going on?

Although Lin Beichen also wanted to revive Daoist Skill, not in this manner. In any case, this was getting ridiculously out of hand.

He felt quite helpless, with things having developed to this point, he could not escape responsibility. If it wasn’t handled properly, it wouldn’t end well. And ultimately, Lin Beichen might only receive some inappropriate remarks, which would be very unfavorable for him.

Ji Fan grew increasingly complacent, seeing the hesitation on Lin Beichen’s face, thinking that Lin Beichen must be scared. Otherwise, if he truly were a Daoist, how could he be afraid of facing the media? 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Ji Fan continued, "I have long seen through your hypocritical facade, you’re just using the guise of superstition to swindle people! Today I will expose you in front of everyone, no matter what you say, it’s all just a facade. Performing some small tricks, yet claiming Daoist Skill, what Dao exists in this world?"

While he said this, many in the media took it seriously. Because in their eyes, indeed, where in this world is there any Daoist Skill?

However, Lin Beichen, someone who had truly experienced it firsthand, didn’t think so. After all, very few knew the truth, it seemed he had to let them see for themselves.

Lin Beichen raised his eyebrows and nodded at Ji Fan: "Alright, since you genuinely want to see, then showing you is not impossible. However, not everyone is privy to my methods. If there’s no wager, what are you and I competing over? Do you think I’ll put on a free show for you?"
