Lin Beichen didn't care at all after hearing these words. He knew in his heart that he would never let this old woman join the Taoist temple no matter what.
Once she comes in, she will definitely order others to serve her every day, and will find fault if she is not satisfied at all.
Lin Beichen saw through her thoughts and knew that she had been like this before and would only get worse in the future.
The old woman's purpose was very clear, that is, she wanted to join the Taoist temple, and then take advantage of her old age to do whatever she wanted. But Lin Beichen didn't give her this opportunity, and she refused to give up.
"I suspect you passed the interview just by relying on your mood. Look at my age, just let me join the church." The old woman even began to beg Lin Beichen.
"Old man, how many times do I have to tell you that you cannot join the religion before you understand?" Lin Beichen was firm in his attitude and did not give in at all.
"If you don't let me join the church, I will stay here today and won't leave. I want to see what you can do to me. If you dare to drive me away, I will lie on the ground and say that you are bullying an old man, and I will ruin your reputation." After saying this, the old woman sat down on the ground and started to act like a spoiled child.
"Everyone come and see, Lin Beichen has no sympathy at all. I'm so old, but he won't let me join the church. This is too much. The big guy in front who was swearing all the time was able to pass, so why can't I? Everyone come and give us some advice." The old woman yelled, attracting the attention of the people around her.
"Alas, why doesn't Lin Beichen take this old woman in? He seems quite kind."
"Lin Beichen must have his reasons for doing this. We can't do anything about it."
"In my opinion, the more kind-hearted an old lady like this is, the more she should not be trusted easily. Otherwise, after Lin Beichen rejected her, she should have left instead of throwing a tantrum like she is now." The people around were talking about it, and they all felt that what this person said made sense.
Lin Beichen was not worried at all about the old woman's nonsense. He crossed his arms and waited to see how long she would make trouble. He had plenty of time to accompany her.
Finally, the old woman couldn't stand Lin Beichen's silence any more, and finally spoke out her true feelings: "The reason why I want to enter the Taoist temple is that I want to take advantage of my status as an old lady, do whatever I want, and instruct others to do things for me."
"You're talking nonsense. This is not what you think at all." Lin Beichen retorted.
"If you don't believe what I say, just look at her face. Although she looks very kind, her behavior is not consistent with her face at all. If she really has a kind heart, she should have left long ago after being rejected by me, instead of doing this now." Lin Beichen's words made people around start talking about the old woman.
When the old woman heard this, she was shocked and didn't know how Lin Beichen saw through her. She had no choice but to leave in shame.
Others also realized that they should not judge a person based on appearance alone.
People who look kind are not necessarily good people; people who look fierce may not have so many bad intentions in their hearts. They are just straightforward and carefree, which makes them easier to get along with.
Lin Beichen taught them a lesson, telling them not to judge people by appearances in the future. They had always had this bad habit, and now that they knew it, they had to change it.
After the old lady left, Lin Beichen continued to interview. One after another, people passed the interview, and they admired Lin Beichen even more in their hearts. He could tell what kind of person the other person was just by a few words and a few actions of the other person.
After the interview, Lin Beichen looked at the crowd and asked them to count from left to right. He wanted to know how many people were recruited in this round of interviews. After half an incense stick of time, the counting was over, and there were more than a hundred people.
Lin Beichen's expectations were fully met and he was quite satisfied with the results.
During the interview process, he also observed carefully and memorized the names of several people with good qualifications.
After hearing Lin Beichen mention the three people, Li He looked at them and thought they had a good image, so he expressed his agreement.
Although the old woman left, she was still unwilling to leave. She thought she had disguised herself very well, and looked so kind and amiable, so how could anyone see that she had a vicious heart?
Lin Beichen saw through her at a glance and refused to let her in. She really didn't understand why Lin Beichen's vision was so sharp.
However, she felt it was a shame to just leave like that, after all, she had wasted so much time.
So she sneaked into the Taoist temple. At that time, the temple was holding a ceremony to convert to Taoism, and no one was guarding the door, which gave her an opportunity to sneak in.
"I never thought that the Taoist temple would be so magnificent." As soon as she entered the door, she was shocked by the scene before her and couldn't help but sigh.
She was even more eager to join, but Lin Beichen's attitude made her know that this was impossible.
The valuables in front of her were all large items, and she, an old woman, could not move them. So, she began to wander around, looking for small and valuable things, and quietly put them in her pocket. Her behavior was undoubtedly theft, but she ignored it, thinking that taking these things would be the only way to take revenge on Lin Beichen and make herself feel better.
Hu Yi happened to pass by and discovered the old woman's theft. "What are you doing here? I remember Lin Beichen didn't invite you in. What's in your pocket? Take it out quickly." Hu Yi questioned and persuaded her to return the property.
The old woman was not panicked and began to play the emotional card: "Little girl, I'm sorry, I have no choice. I am an old widower with no relatives. I wanted to join the Taoist temple to have someone to rely on, but Lin Beichen refused. I had to steal some things to make a living."
As she spoke, she squeezed out a few tears and pretended to look pitiful.
Hu Yi softened her heart, and she began to regret not persuading Lin Beichen to let the old lady join the sect. But now the initiation ceremony has begun, and recruiting more people will break the rules. Those who have joined the sect may feel that anyone can enter the Taoist temple, and their attitude will change. After all, there is no order without rules.
"Okay, I'll let you go this time. But if it happens again, I will never forgive you." After Hu Yi finished speaking, the old woman heard footsteps and immediately hid behind the door.
"Little girl, you know I came in secretly, I can't let them find me. Not everyone is as kind as you, otherwise I would be in trouble."
Hu Yi helped the old woman keep watch, notified her after everyone left, and personally saw her off.
Hu Yi planned to keep this matter to herself and not tell anyone.
When she returned to Lin Beichen, he felt that her expression was unnatural, as if she had done something wrong.
Lin Beichen was extremely curious. He went out for a while and thought about what happened to make her become like this?
By checking Hu Yi's memory, Lin Beichen understood what happened.
"Okay, no wonder you look guilty. It turns out that you saw the old woman stealing things, not only did you not stop her, but you helped her. When I rejected her, I said that she had bad intentions, and now she is stealing things again, which is enough to prove that she is not a good person. You are also helping the evil!"
Hu Yi felt wronged, but could only practice in the room alone. Li He couldn't stand it anymore and went to persuade Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen had a clear mind about this matter, and knew exactly what Hu Yi was thinking at the time, so he understood everything Li He said to him. "I understand what you said, but my thoughts are different from yours." Lin Beichen raised his hand, stopped Li He from speaking, and continued.
"You also know that she has a soft temper. It was okay in the past, but as more and more people come to our Taoist temple in the future, it is inevitable that there will be people with ill intentions." Lin Beichen's tone was a little worried, "I'm really anxious. No matter how many times I tell her, she won't change her temper!"
After listening to Lin Beichen's words, Li He deeply agreed with them. Then he came to his senses and felt that he had not considered it carefully enough.
"You're right. If she's a girl, she'll be at a disadvantage if she doesn't have a little bit of wit." The two agreed and stopped arguing about it. Days passed, and the Taoists who had passed the interview and were about to enter the Taoist temple had already dealt with their family affairs and came to report in one after another in the past few days.
The martial arts competition will be held in a few days. Lin Beichen has been promoting his new gym during this period, wondering if he can receive an invitation to this competition.
"Master!" One day, a disciple came running over, "The organizer of this martial arts competition has sent a visiting card to our Taoist temple."
Lin Beichen was sitting cross-legged in the Taoist temple practicing. When he heard the disciple's report, he was delighted, but remained expressionless. He stood up and took the visiting card.
"Okay, I got it. You go down first." Lin Beichen waved his hand to signal his disciple to leave.
"Fortunately, I accepted a disciple a few days ago, otherwise there wouldn't be enough people to participate in this martial arts competition." Lin Beichen secretly thanked himself for his foresight.
"Someone come!" Lin Beichen shouted, "Notify the new believers to assemble immediately!"
After hearing Lin Beichen's explanation, the believers quickly passed the news to others, and soon everyone gathered together.
"Why did the Sect Master call us here?"
"I guess he wants to teach us the skills!"
"You are dreaming. We have only been here for a few days and the abbot is already teaching us the skills!"
Everyone stood in the courtyard, thinking back to the powerful skills that Lin Beichen had demonstrated before. They were all very excited and whispered to each other, asking the people around them if they knew any news.
"Everyone be quiet and listen to me!"
A loud voice suddenly came from the noise, and Lin Beichen walked out of the room, stood on the stage and glanced at the people below.
"You are very lucky!" Lin Beichen said, "The martial arts conference will be held in a few days, and our dojo has also been invited to participate."
"So, from today on, I will begin to teach you the skills. I will select the best learners among you to go with me."
The people in the audience didn't expect that they would have the opportunity to participate in the martial arts conference just after entering the dojo. Several passionate young people cheered excitedly in an instant.
"That's great, Master. We will definitely study hard!"
Lin Beichen looked at everyone's reactions, nodded with satisfaction, and a kind smile appeared on his face.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day for the martial arts competition to begin.
Lin Beichen brought his followers to the arena early in the morning. The followers were so excited that their faces turned red and their necks became thick. They stretched their muscles and bones, wishing they could get on the field right away.
"Hey, look over there, I haven't seen it before!" When other contestants saw new faces like Lin Beichen, they all asked others.
"Them!" Someone snorted. Hearing the voice, Tang looked in the direction of Lin Beichen, snorted with disdain, and said nothing more.
"Oh my god! I didn't expect them to be so unlucky to be in the same group with Tang in the first game!"
"Oh, there's something interesting to watch today!"
Following the announcement from the podium, the first match was between Lin Beichen's gym and the Tang family.
After hearing this, everyone shook their heads. They didn't know Lin Beichen, but they knew the Tang family very well and knew how powerful they were.
"Hey, new guy!" Tang looked at the opponent standing in front of him, his eyes full of provocation, "I'll give you a chance. If you admit defeat now, I'll let you leave the arena in a dignified manner."
Tang's words were full of disdain and contempt. The burly man who was participating in the competition on Lin Beichen's side was furious when he heard it. He didn't care about anything and just retorted: "Humph! I can tell from your character that you are a bastard who was born by a mother but not raised by her. I advise you to get off the platform as soon as possible and stop embarrassing yourself here!"
Upon hearing this, Tang was furious and waved his hand to signal his disciples: "Beat them to death!"
Watching his disciples being defeated, Tang had never expected that this person he looked down upon actually had some strength. He narrowed his eyes and winked at the person in the arena, who immediately understood.
Lin Beichen noticed something was wrong and tried to stop it, but he was a step too late. Tang's disciple took advantage of the big man's carelessness and successfully attacked him. The big man was hit hard and fell down under the platform.
This sudden scene caused an uproar among the audience and a lot of discussion.
"This Tang family is really ruthless." Someone sighed, while another person responded: "In a martial arts competition, of course you have to go all out."
Lin Beichen stepped forward quickly and helped the knocked down man up. Without even looking at Tang, he carefully checked the man's injuries.
"Master, I..." The big man looked at Lin Beichen with shame on his face. He was about to speak but was interrupted by Lin Beichen. He patted the big man on the shoulder and comforted him: "You did a good job, don't think too much."
Tang stood aside, full of arrogance, staring at Lin Beichen and the others with provocative eyes.
"Hmph, you overestimated your own abilities. I just kindly reminded you, but you didn't take it seriously. This is just a small lesson for your Taoist temple."
Lin Beichen narrowed his eyes and ignored Tang.
Seeing this, Tang thought Lin Beichen was afraid of him and laughed triumphantly. In the following competitions, whenever Lin Beichen's disciples met Tang, they would be defeated by the opponent's despicable sneak attacks. Lin Beichen watched all this silently, and he had already made up his mind.
"Next up is the finals!" the announcement sounded, "This match is between Lin Beichen and the leader of the Tang family."
When everyone heard this, they immediately became excited and there was a lot of noise.
"Just now I noticed that this kid was very arrogant. He ignored Tang when she spoke to him. I really dislike him." Someone muttered.
Another person echoed, "We've been waiting for him for a long time. What a coward. He always let his apprentice be cannon fodder before."
Tang challenged Lin Beichen, "I am kind-hearted and I really can't stand it. Now I have to teach you a lesson for your apprentice."
Lin Beichen rolled his eyes impatiently and glared at Tang: "Stop talking nonsense. You should go home and sweep the floor with your fancy moves." (End of this chapter)
