1254 Ultimate Goal (1/2)
Lin Xiang thought that Chen Xiaobei had come a day earlier to surprise her!
But Chen Xiaobei did not come ahead of time!
Lin Xiang thought that today was yesterday. Her memory of today, like Chen Xiaobei said, was completely wiped clean!
The three other people watching could not believe their eyes.
”Brother-in-law! You are freaking amazing!” Lin Nan cheered.
Lin Chaoying and Wei Shenjing found themselves speechless. The permanant brainwashing Hu Bawan had boasted about was remedied just like that. Chen Xiaobei had done it with such ease, it was almost unreal!
”Huh? Where's everyone else?”
Lin Xiang blinked, searching her surroundings until he saw the others.
”Sister! You're awake! That's great!”
Lin Nan practically wrestled her into a bear hug. The tears that were on the verge of falling, now came out pouring with teary sniffles.
”What happened to you? You're a grown up already, but you're still sniffling. I've become stronger now. I can protect you! I'll beat up whoever bullies you!”
Lin Xiang rubbed Lin Nan's head lovingly.
”Sis, you're the best!”
When he knew that he was about to lose his sister, Lin Nan felt like the world had come to an end; but now that she was restored, Lin Nan was so happy he could not help but cry tears of joy.
”Huh? Shimei Wei, what happened?”
Lin Xiang looked at Wei Shengjing with curious eyes.
”She had an accident! She fell down while she was walking!” Chen Xiaobei quickly said.
He was worried that if he told her the truth, she might feel responsible for what had happened, and could not continue cultivating in peace.
Besides, Wei Shenjing was tricked into it. There was no need to punish her mistake with a death penalty. The beatings she received were more than enough. Not revealing that part of the truth meant that Chen Xiaobei had spared Wei Shenjing's life.
”Oh, you are still the same! I'm not even sure if you are telling me truth!” Lin Xiang smiled.
”How could a fall cause her face to swell and bruise like that? She even threw up blood! Even if you don't tell me, I know that Shimei Wei got in a fight with someone and lost. Am I right?”
”Your guess is correct!” Chen Xiaobei nodded.
Just like that, the truth was covered up.
The others understood Chen Xiaobei's intention and did not bring it up anymore.
After that, Lin Xiang, the half-owner of Tidal Faction brought Chen Xaiobei and Lin Nan to tour the island.
As they admired the gorgeous seascape, Lin Xiang brought them up to speed on her experience on the island so that they would not worry about her.
There had been no incident all throughout Lin Xiang's stay in Tidal Faction. Most of her time was spent on cultivating. Chen Xiaobei and Lin Nan's heart were put at ease when they heard that.
Lin Xiang even made a call to Professor Lin to tell him that she was safe.
”How long do you plan to stay here? I will instruct my subordinates to prepare the guest room!” Lin Xiang asked.
Chen Xiaobei replied, ”There are still a lot of things I have to tend to. Also, my friend is waiting for me at the port. Since, you're fine here, I might leave in a short while.”
