"I don't know who he is. I just met him by chance at a gathering. Based on my investigation afterward, the name he left at the venue is that of the Ghost Master of the Law God Sect!"
Law God Sect, Ghost Master?
Lin Beichen frowned.
The Red Rope Gourd is a Daoist Magical Artifact, how could it be associated with a monk?
Although this item is just an ordinary Magical Artifact, unremarkable to Lin Beichen, it is still much stronger than those of ordinary cultivators.
Moreover, to be able to craft a lethal Magical Artifact within just a few months of the Celestial Gate's opening shows that this Law God Sect indeed has some skills.
Lin Beichen knew that before the Celestial Gate opened, Divine Techniques already existed in the world, but they consumed too much, so few would easily try them.
The gap between cultivators and ordinary people was too vast. Before the Celestial Gate opened, the two barely overlapped, so even if experts at the Celestial Gate engaged in Magical Combat, ordinary people would not know.
After Lin Beichen released the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and altered the rules between heaven and earth, ordinary people began to have opportunities to access this circle, but after all, the time is still short.
Someone like Zhao Yilian, with the opening of the Celestial Gate, indeed might be swayed by cultivators.
Smart cultivators have long seen that the era is irreversible, and only by quickly enlisting the world's powerful and elite can they securely maintain their positions.
From this perspective, this Ghost Master may not necessarily be targeting Luo Meixiang; perhaps he is simply leaving a good impression with Zhao Yilian, or maybe using Zhao Yilian as a pawn, with the real target being Luo Meixiang.
In the entertainment industry, Zhao Yilian has significant influence, but when compared to Luo Meixiang's family, she is still far behind.
If approached from a perspective of interest, there's no reason to choose Zhao Yilian and overlook Luo Meixiang.
There is only one explanation that makes sense.
The opponent uses Zhao Yilian to poison Luo Meixiang and then appears next to Luo Meixiang, posing as a savior, whether to recruit Luo Meixiang as a disciple or to heal her; either way, a good favor is left behind.
While Lin Beichen pondered silently, Zhao Yilian slowly walked forward, poured a cup of hot tea proactively, and as she placed the cup on the table, she leaned on Lin Beichen's shoulder.
"Mr. Lin, the wind and rain are fierce on this ship, may I shelter here from the cold?"
At this moment, Zhao Yilian appeared like a seductive and enchanting vixen, more tempting than any woman Lin Beichen had ever met.
A woman taking the initiative to throw herself into your arms, especially on this drifting sea, with the wind and rain outside, in the deep night, is indeed a suitable moment for certain happenings.
Even if Lin Beichen did not fancy Zhao Yilian, he couldn't help but feel a worldly desire.
After all, he is a normal man with normal desires, not someone with a saintly body devoid of human passions.
However, in just an instant, Lin Beichen suppressed this evil fire and looked at Zhao Yilian calmly.
"The wind and rain outside won't harm you, and you can shelter anywhere. Although it's quiet here, danger lurks beneath.
Aren't you afraid I might just wave my hand and chop off your head?"
Zhao Yilian is very beautiful, ranking among the top ten in the dazzling entertainment circle.
Although Zhao Yilian has high seniority, as she debuted at a young age, even though she has been in the circle for twenty years, she still looks very young, with an exceptionally hot figure.
If Lin Beichen were a naive young master indulging constantly in pleasures, he'd certainly go along with the flow with Zhao Yilian.
However, Lin Beichen had surpassed this stage.
A moment's impulse might lead to unnecessary trouble.
Zhao Yilian is not like other women; she follows him only viewing him as a tool for climbing up.
Though Lin Beichen is confident in controlling her, Zhao Yilian is too extreme, willing to do anything for desire, making her actions unpredictable.
Therefore, there is no need to invite a huge problem for a night of pleasure.
Zhao Yilian had not seen through Lin Beichen's intentions, thinking her charm could easily entice him.
She hooked Lin Beichen's neck gently leaned on his chest.
"Sir, as long as I don't speak, no one will know what happened here, and Nie Jianghe won't say anything either."
Lin Beichen smiled faintly, pushed her away, then stood by the window.
"I'm not interested in a woman like you, no need to rush and test me. Selling your body might be common to you, but I have no interest in it."
"You want resources, right? I can give you that, but you need to agree to one thing for me!
Tell me everything you know about this Ghost Master, and then help me take care of Luo Meixiang in the business and entertainment circles. I guarantee that within two years, you'll become an international superstar."
If someone else said so, Zhao Yilian wouldn't care.
Because she didn't believe they had such power, but if Lin Beichen said it, she had no choice but to believe him.
When Lin Beichen killed Nie Hongchen, it was like squashing an ant; even someone like Nie Jianghe, a leading figure in the Chinese entertainment industry, pandered to Lin Beichen shamelessly, demonstrating just how high Lin Beichen's status is.
Moreover, she had a little secret.
The reason Nie Jianghe could control her was that when she was young and inexperienced, she accidentally took a certain drug.
Though she managed through the drug addiction phase, Nie Jianghe still had her footage.
Everything was orchestrated by Nie Jianghe. With just a bit of editing and guidance of public opinion in the entertainment circle, her reputation could collapse instantly.
