Lin Beichen felt a warmth in his heart, then suddenly pushed open the dormitory door.
"Sons, your dad is back!"
"..."
The chatter in the dormitory came to an abrupt halt.
Looking at the smiling Lin Beichen entering the dormitory.
Han Yuan and the other two were stunned at first, then relieved smiles appeared on their faces, and they visibly relaxed.
On a usual day...
This kind of seniority is definitely not to be messed with, and a top-notch quarrel would be inevitable.
But now they didn’t mind his rebellious address and went up to greet him.
Han Yuan clicked his tongue and said, "Yo, the missing person returns, huh? I thought you’d been eaten by some old wolf or a bear in the mountains."
Lin Beichen rolled his eyes at him; just a moment ago, before entering the door, it was him talking the most.
Before he could retort Han Yuan.
Liang Dong asked with concern, "Beichen, what happened? Why couldn’t we reach you? We thought something had happened to you."
"Oh!"
Lin Beichen took out his broken phone from his pocket and said helplessly, "So here’s the thing, I was messaging you guys the day I went to Wuling Mountain when the driver suddenly braked sharply, causing my phone to fly out and break."
Dorm mates: ...
That’s it?
This was the reason for his six-day disappearance?
They were utterly stunned, feeling that their worries were indeed unnecessary.
Wu You said speechlessly, "Couldn’t you buy a new phone in the meantime?"
"I was there to study thunder, and I didn’t need a phone."
Lin Beichen shrugged, "And the nearest phone shop from Wuling Mountain is over thirty kilometers away. I didn’t have any cash on me, so getting a new phone wasn’t just far but inconvenient. I didn’t go, and I still haven’t gotten a new phone. If it weren’t for the late hour today, I would have bought a phone before coming back."
"Awesome."
Han Yuan gave him a thumbs-up, marveling, "How can anyone go without playing with their phone for six days nowadays? Your dedication to your research is impressive!"
Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Beichen, did you see the sea mirage at Wuling Mountain?"
"Wuling Mountain had a sea mirage?"
Lin Beichen shook his head with a puzzled look.

He was absorbed in cultivation and seeking answers to the special area problems, so he hadn’t looked at the sky at all during the sea mirage.
"..."
The dorm mates were speechless again. Did he really go to Wuling Mountain? Could he have gone to the wrong place? Or was his research on thunder so engrossing that he neither played on his phone nor noticed the sea mirage?
Han Yuan took out his phone, tapped a few times on the screen, and then showed it to Lin Beichen: "Check out this video."
The screen was playing the video of the Wuling Mountain sea mirage that had been trending a few days ago.
Lin Beichen glanced at it and asked, "This is Wuling Mountain’s sea mirage?"
For some reason.
Looking at the sea mirage in the video, he felt a strange sense of familiarity. Why did it seem so familiar?
"Yes."
Han Yuan nodded, then pointed to the person in the sea mirage and asked, "Is that you?"
"Me?"
Lin Beichen was stunned, realizing where the strange familiarity came from.
At that moment, the video was playing the scene where a person in the sea mirage raised a hand, and a tree in the distance fell.
Lin Beichen: ??
He was startled...
The scene perfectly matched the moment he first achieved Palm Thunder in the special area!
"Is this really me?"
"Was I projected into the sky?"
Lin Beichen was completely confused. Could it be?
He felt the person in the sea mirage was himself but couldn’t be entirely sure since the sea mirage scene was too blurry.
Anything was possible.
Han Yuan nodded and pressed, "Yeah, is it you?"
"I don’t know."
Lin Beichen shook his head, "I can’t tell if it’s me."
"..."
Han Yuan and the other two were utterly speechless.
Especially Han Yuan.
He had been waiting for Lin Beichen to confirm this for six days, and he got this result.
But, thinking about it, this answer seemed reasonable.
At this point, Liang Dong remembered something and quickly took out his phone, "Almost forgot, the instructor told us to inform her as soon as Beichen returned."
As he spoke, he contacted the instructor.
After just a few minutes on the call.
Room 207 hadn’t even found a new topic to chat about.
With a rush of hurried footsteps, the instructor and Principal Hao Jianhua arrived at the dormitory.
Even though the police had already communicated the reason for Lin Beichen’s disappearance, their hearts were still uneasy until they saw Lin Beichen safe and sound.
Until now...
Seeing Lin Beichen unharmed.
They finally felt relieved.
"Lin Beichen, you’re finally back."
The instructor let out a big sigh of relief, patting Lin Beichen’s arm as if to comfort both Lin Beichen and herself, "You really had us worried sick."
The principal nodded in contentment and sighed, "Now that you’re back, we can all relax."
"??"
Lin Beichen was utterly confused; why had the principal and the instructor specifically come to the dormitory and said such things? Hadn’t he taken leave?
What was going on?
He still had no idea about the thrilling events that had transpired during this time.
