After Lin Beichen withdrew from the City Lord's Mansion, the sky was already growing dark. He looked up, then could only helplessly walk toward an Earth God Temple.
Upon arriving at the Earth God Temple, Lin Beichen let out a sigh and said, "Looks like I can only spend the night here. But it's fine, I'll be going back to settle accounts with them soon enough."
Lin Beichen leaned slantwise against the wall, gazing at the sky outside the window.
The stars were scattered and bright in a cloudless sky, yet Lin Beichen felt no joy at all, his heart in utter turmoil.
He knew that tonight was destined to be another sleepless night, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Not until deep into the night did he finally force his eyes shut, but before he could drift into sleep, he heard a noise. He rose swiftly, hid himself in the darkness, wanting to see who would appear here at such an hour, his gaze fixed intently on everything before him.
He saw a man hurrying in this direction.
