Versatile Sword Cultivator

"Laugh, laugh, laugh, what's so funny? Because of this, Old Li reported to my dad that I humiliated the teacher, and I got scolded like a dog!" Ren Lan grew angrier the more she thought about it. If it weren't for the fact that she hadn't seen Little Lin, that scoundrel, in a long time, she would have thrown a punch at him.

"Don't worry, it's no big deal. At worst, you'll just get a beating. Your skin's thick anyway," Lin Jichen teased.

Ren Lan couldn't hold back anymore and swung her fist at Lin Jichen, ready for a fight.

"Stupid Lin, I think you haven't been beaten for a month. Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson!"

Lin Jichen had just finished setting up the gaming pod and quickly dodged. The two of them started play-fighting in the room.

Within seconds, Lin Jichen was grabbed by Ren Lan and thrown onto Tang Tang's bed. Afraid that he would escape, she straddled him, pinning him down.

The compromising position... neither of them noticed.

Just then, the door opened.

Two women stood at the doorway, stunned.

Ren Lan quickly realized how awkward their position was and jumped off Lin Jichen like lightning. She hurriedly explained, "Don't misunderstand, we were just fooling around."

Lin Jichen, looking like a bullied wife, got up and straightened his disheveled clothes. He coughed twice and changed the subject.

"Teacher Yan, you're here to celebrate Tang Tang's birthday too?"

Standing at the door was Tang Tang's teacher, Yan Ruyu.

As for the flat-chested girl beside her, Lin Jichen didn't recognize her.

Yan Ruyu nodded awkwardly, "Yes, Tang Tang invited me over for dinner."

"Welcome, welcome. We're here to freeload too. Let's go to the living room and sit for a while."

Lin Jichen quickly slipped out, afraid that Ren Lan, that madwoman, would catch him again.

Everyone returned to the living room and sat on the sofa.

While Lin Jichen and Yan Ruyu chatted briefly, he noticed that the flat-chested girl beside her kept sneaking glances at him, even blushing.

Feeling awkward under her gaze, Lin Jichen asked Yan Ruyu, "Teacher Yan, who is this...?"

Yan Ruyu introduced, "This is Liu Xiazi, my cousin. She's a streamer."

Lin Jichen was taken aback and then looked at the flat-chested girl.

He finally recognized her. Liu Xiazi, the most famous streamer in Tale of Immortal.

They had met a few times and even added each other as friends.

But Lin Jichen wasn't thrilled; instead, he became wary.

With a slightly stern face, he asked, "Streamer Liu, how did you know my address? Have you been investigating me?"

Ren Lan also became alert, her gaze sweeping over Liu Xiazi.

Seeing this, Liu Xiazi panicked and quickly waved her hands, "No, no, I'm from Jiangling City. Yan Ruyu is my cousin. Knowing you're here is purely accidental. I absolutely didn't follow or investigate you."

After a detailed explanation and with Yan Ruyu and Niu Naitang vouching for her, Liu Xiazi finally cleared her name.

Lin Jichen wasn't entirely convinced but believed her about eighty percent, finally lowering his guard.

"If it's a coincidence, that's good. But I hope Streamer Liu can keep this a secret. I don't want to be disturbed. Otherwise, I'll have to move." Lin Jichen spoke openly and seriously to Liu Xiazi.

Information leakage is a serious matter. If Liu Xiazi had ulterior motives or sold his identity and address, his situation would become very dangerous.

That's why Lin Jichen was so serious about this matter.@@novelbin@@

Yan Ruyu, listening on the side, was confused, but Liu Xiazi understood that Lin Jichen wasn't exaggerating.

Who is Lin Jichen? Yan Ruyu might not know, but how could she not?

The top player in Tale of Immortal, the number one in-game real estate mogul.

Any one of his identities could drive the players of Tale of Immortal crazy.

If his identity and address were exposed, a lot of trouble would follow.

She also regretted coming impulsively to disturb her idol. Not only did she fail to gain his favor, but she was also seen as someone with ulterior motives...

Liu Xiazi was filled with regret. Her impression score in her idol's eyes was probably in the negatives now, sob sob...

"Idol, don't worry. I, Liu Xiazi, swear that if I reveal any of your information, may I be struck by lightning, hit by a car, and die a horrible death."

Liu Xiazi swore on the spot, her eyes reddening with urgency.

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly, thinking Lin Jichen was bullying her cousin.

"Junior Lin, is there some misunderstanding between you two in the game? If my cousin did something wrong unintentionally, I apologize on her behalf. But please don't force her."

Before Lin Jichen could speak, Liu Xiazi quickly explained to Yan Ruyu, "Cousin, you misunderstood. It's not his fault; it's mine. You misunderstood him."

"Huh? What's going on?" Yan Ruyu was completely confused.

"Oh, just stop guessing. It's really my fault. I shouldn't have come."

Liu Xiazi smiled bitterly and then stood up to leave, "Idol, I didn't mean to disturb you. I'll leave now. Don't worry, I'll keep my word and keep your secret. Goodbye."

Liu Xiazi was about to leave when Lin Jichen felt a bit embarrassed. He walked to the door and blocked her way.

"Forget it. Since it's a coincidence, it's fate. I believe you. Stay and have dinner. You're a guest invited by Tang Tang. It wouldn't be right for me to chase you away."

"Really?" Liu Xiazi immediately looked hopeful.

Lin Jichen smiled slightly, "Of course."

"Hehe, idol, you're so nice~ Don't worry, after this meal, I'll pretend I have amnesia. We never met, and I won't bother you again."

Liu Xiazi, excited, returned to her seat and started chatting animatedly with Yan Ruyu.

Seeing Liu Xiazi's silly and cute demeanor, Lin Jichen couldn't help but smile.

On second thought, he realized he might have been too sensitive.

One should live life openly. He couldn't live like a fugitive, hiding and changing his name.

The real rats were those lurking in the shadows, not him.

He had been making a mountain out of a molehill.

Even without Liu Xiazi, he didn't think he could hide his identity until the world merged.

When you're just trying to make great content at .

As he became more famous, more people would seek out his identity. It was bound to be exposed.

Instead of being overly cautious, it was better to face challenges head-on.

It was still a peaceful era, and he was in China, the country with the best security.

Petty criminals were always a minority.

The light of justice shone brightly, and they wouldn't dare be too blatant.

If things got really bad, he could move to another city or retreat to the mountains and forests, lay low for five years, and return as the Dragon King. Let's see who would dare mess with him then!
