Whims of Celestial Fate

Refutation Action

Seeing the rumors about them practicing immortality in the dormitory escalating on campus without any signs of calming down, Lin Xiaofan and his roommates were extremely helpless. After thinking about it, they decided to take the initiative and post on the school forum to refute the rumors, hoping to clarify the facts and prevent everyone from making random guesses anymore.

Lin Xiaofan sat in front of the computer, typing and deleting on the keyboard with his fingers, and it took him a lot of effort to write a sincere debunking post. The post explained in detail that they are only interested in some mysterious elements in traditional culture, and usually just make small attempts to maintain health and calm down according to ancient books in the dormitory. The so-called cult techniques and superpower experiments are completely groundless and misunderstood by everyone. After finishing writing, he also asked his roommates to come and take a look, and everyone carefully considered the sentence together to ensure that there was nothing easy to misunderstand before clicking the publish button.

As soon as the post was published, it attracted the attention of many students. After all, rumors about them have been circulating in the school recently, and everyone is curious about how they will explain this matter.

At first, a few students replied to express their understanding, saying that it may have been a misunderstanding and urging them not to take it too seriously. This made Lin Xiaofan and the others breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that this debunking action may be effective. As long as they explain more, everyone will believe them.

However, not long after, the situation changed. Some students who were already enthusiastic about spreading those outrageous rumors began to leave sarcastic comments under the post.

A classmate replied, "Oh, you're still healthy and peaceful. Why do strange noises keep coming out of your dormitory at night? Is this healthy noise still so loud? Maybe there's something shameful about it.

Another classmate also chimed in and said, "Yeah, that sounds great. Who knows what you guys are doing? Maybe you're just secretly doing some crooked things. I'm afraid I'll find out now and just post a sophistry

Even worse, some of you just started mocking and saying, "Haha, I think you guys are crazy about wanting to become famous. You've done so many things to attract attention and maintain your health. Why not call it practicing immortal techniques? You're just daydreaming.

Watching these responses full of doubts and ridicule, Lin Xiaofan and the others furrowed their brows more and more tightly, feeling extremely anxious. I originally thought I could explain things clearly through posting, but I didn't expect it to attract so much ridicule and ridicule. This is really a case of stealing chicken but losing rice.

Zhao Lei slammed the table angrily and said, "Why are these people like this? They're completely unreasonable. We're telling the truth, but they keep making fun of us. It's so infuriating.

Sun Yu also shook his head helplessly and said, "Hey, now everyone has preconceived notions and accepted those rumors. It's not that easy for us to change their minds. What should we do about it.

Wang Dashui was rubbing his fists on the side, wishing to go over the internet and argue with those people. Lin Xiaofan quickly grabbed him and said, "Dashui, don't be impulsive. If we argue with them online, it will only make things worse, and others will think we are angry and embarrassed.

However, even so, those negative responses are still increasing and cannot be suppressed. And over time, this post has also been pushed to a popular position on the forum, which has attracted more students and led to more outrageous claims.

Some students even started to fabricate more absurd stories in their posts, saying that there had been some supernatural phenomena in their dormitory because they were practicing cult techniques and angered ghosts and gods. It was described vividly, as if they had experienced it firsthand.

Lin Xiaofan and the others looked at these constantly emerging malicious speculations, feeling a headache but helpless. This debunking post not only failed to clarify the situation, but also seemed to add fuel to those rumors, making the fire even more intense.

During this period, they couldn't afford to neglect their cultivation of immortality, after all, they had been on this path for so long, and no one wanted to give up halfway. So, every night, they would continue to practice secretly after the dormitory lights were turned off and the dormitory manager finished checking the room, as usual.

However, nowadays, when practicing, everyone has a heavy burden in their hearts, always worried about whether they will be discovered by others again due to some disturbance, and then more outrageous statements will be spread.

Once, while practicing, Lin Xiaofan used a little spiritual power to make the water cup on the table float up, hoping to exercise his control over spiritual power. However, the water cup accidentally hit the edge of the table and made a "clang" sound. The roommates instantly became nervous and stopped practicing, standing up their ears to listen to the outside noise, afraid of being heard by the neighboring dormitory or passing classmates again, and then spreading it out with added fuel.

Fortunately, nothing unusual happened this time. After confirming that there was no response from the outside, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, the tension in their hearts remained tight, and there was no longer the relatively relaxed atmosphere of their previous practice.

During the day at school, they have to face the strange looks and behind the scenes pointing from their classmates. Walking on campus, one can often hear people whispering about them, and those words are like thorns, making them feel extremely uncomfortable.

Lin Xiaofan and the others also tried to reply to some posts, patiently explaining that the so-called supernatural phenomena and strange movements were all misunderstandings, but no one listened to them at all. The voices of questioning and ridicule were still overwhelming.

Just when they felt extremely hopeless and believed that this debunking operation had completely failed, an unexpected turning point appeared.

There is a highly respected old professor in school who has a good understanding of traditional culture. By chance, he came across a forum post about them and various replies. The old professor carefully studied the debunking posts posted by Lin Xiaofan and his team, combined with his own understanding of traditional culture, and felt that what they said may not be entirely false.

So the old professor took the initiative to contact Lin Xiaofan and the others, inviting them to meet in his office to learn more about the situation.

When Lin Xiaofan and the others received the phone call from the old professor, they were both nervous and hopeful. They were unsure if the old professor would misunderstand them like everyone else, and hoped that maybe the old professor would believe them and help them get out of this predicament.

Arriving at the old professor's office, Lin Xiaofan and the others were still a bit restrained, but the old professor was very kind. He smiled and asked them to sit down, then said, "Classmates, I have read the posts you posted on the forum and also learned about the rumors about you in the school now. I think what you said may have some truth, but you need to tell me in detail where you learned about these mysterious elements in traditional culture and how you made those attempts.

Lin Xiaofan hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth. After all, the old professor seemed quite kind and might be their only lifeline. So, he accidentally obtained the ancient book "The Biography of Mortal Immortal Cultivation" and practiced it according to the methods recorded above, with the participation of his roommates. He just wanted to explore the mysteries behind it and spoke it out in detail.

After listening, the old professor did not show any suspicion or disdain as they had expected, but furrowed his brow slightly and fell into contemplation. After a while, the old professor said slowly, "I haven't heard of the ancient book you're talking about, but our Chinese culture is vast and profound, and there are indeed many wonderful contents recorded in ancient books that are difficult to explain today. Your starting point may be good, but doing so in school will inevitably cause misunderstandings among everyone.

Professor, we know we were wrong and we don't want this to happen. But now this rumor is getting more and more outrageous. No one believes us no matter how we explain it. Can you help us.

The old professor smiled and said, "Since I'm here, I just want to help you. But first, I need to take a look at that ancient book and confirm if its content is really as you said, just some health and meditation methods, not something harmful. If it's really okay, then I can help you explain it in school, after all, as an old man, there are still some people who will listen to me when I speak.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofan and the others were overjoyed, as if they saw a glimmer of hope. They quickly agreed and said they would bring the ancient books over to the old professor to read when they returned.

After coming out of the old professor's office, Lin Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief and said to his roommates, "Maybe we can be saved this time. If the old professor is willing to help us, it's much better than us blindly explaining here.

The roommates also nodded one after another, finally showing a long lost smile on their faces. However, they also knew in their hearts that this matter had not been resolved yet, and it still depended on whether the ancient book could pass the old professor's test. They still had to continue to move forward under the dual pressure of cultivation and dealing with rumors, waiting for the final result.
