I, Zhuge Ni, do not like to owe others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin nodded, then knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to Zhuge Qianxing, stood up, snapped the card in his hand in two, and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crisp *snap* caused Zhuge Ni’s brows to furrow instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Lin, what is the meaning of this? Is giving you money not enough?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes! I know you fought to the death for my father, but what I gave you should be enough to compensate you, right? Don't tell me you still want to leverage your kindness for a reward?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin’s body paused slightly, and he said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhuge Ni, you are too self-righteous. Everything I did today was merely to repay the kindness of a master; I do not need any reward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In fact, from the first time we met, I never wanted to have any intersection with you. If it weren't for your father, Mr. Zhuge, you would have been a corpse under my hand long ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should be very clear that killing you is not much harder than killing a chicken.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin’s tone was very light, yet it pierced into Zhuge Ni’s heart like a sharp blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Lin! What did you say! Explain yourself clearly!\" Zhuge Ni demanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why should I explain anything to you? Setting aside your father, Zhuge Qianxing, what exactly are you, Zhuge Ni?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin’s words left Zhuge Ni frozen in place, her face turning from green to white, which was quite a sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to retort, she wanted to lash out, she wanted to argue her case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she realized that although Ye Lin’s words were harsh, it seemed that every single one of them was the truth...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All this time, she had lived under the protection of her father, Zhuge Qianxing. It was only after his passing that she discovered how weak her own strength was, to the point that she had almost failed to protect her father’s coffin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having lost Zhuge Qianxing, she seemed to have truly become a complete and utter failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Zhuge Ni’s arrogant self-esteem was completely shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Ni, as if she had lost her soul, slumped dejectedly before Zhuge Qianxing’s grave, gently stroking his tombstone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad... did I really do something wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin took a wooden stick he had picked up and groped his way out of the cemetery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Losing his sight was a bit inconvenient, but as a Forbidden Spellcaster, if his level were to rise rapidly while he remained physically robust, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After today’s events, he should be able to completely sever ties with the identity of Ling Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ye Lin walked out of the cemetery, Father Ji and Ji Lingyu were already waiting for him there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Lin’s miserable state, Ji Lingyu couldn't help but redden his eyes, his voice choking with emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you crying? I’m still alive, aren't I?\" Ye Lin grinned, though paired with his hollow eye sockets, it looked somewhat eerie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin reached out, groping to pat Ji Lingyu on the shoulder, and comforted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop crying, I’m really fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Father Ji looked at Ye Lin with a grave expression and said in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Lin, what are your plans for the future? Why not stay by my side? I could use someone to talk to, and the path of a Job Changer... it’s too difficult, let’s just not walk it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin gave a wry smile; Father Ji’s intention was to provide for him for the rest of his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how could Ye Lin agree? He was only forced by circumstances to pretend to be blind; he wasn't actually blind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle Ji, I appreciate your kindness, but I still want to go to university. Since I don't have much time left to live anyway, I might as well go out and experience more scenery. That way, when death truly arrives, there might be fewer regrets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Father Ji was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, since you have made your decision, I will support you. No matter where you go, the Ji family will be your backing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way back, Father Ji also gave Ye Lin a card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Ye Lin didn't know how much money was on the card, it shouldn't be less than the one Zhuge Ni had given him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Ye Lin settled down in the Ji household and began to adapt to a life of blindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After losing his sight, Ye Lin’s hearing, sense of smell, and other senses became much sharper, and he gradually learned to identify positions by sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a few nights later, a figure suddenly landed beside Ye Lin like a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure was extremely fast and moved with such lightness that it was like a feather landing, yet it still could not escape Ye Lin’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guo Qin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the people he knew, only Guo Qin had this kind of skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Boss, it’s me! I have to go! Recently, a group of people has been scouring the world to catch me. I can't stay in Qingcheng anymore, or I’ll get into trouble sooner or later. I have to get out and lay low!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, the identity of Ling Ye is being hunted, and there are people watching both you and Zhuge Ni. I can't stay long. Take care of yourself, Little Boss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Qin spoke in a low voice and then left without a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin’s heart skipped a beat; he hadn't expected that even he was being monitored, and he hadn't even noticed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This could only mean that the person watching from the shadows was definitely terrifyingly strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he had been doing his best to play the part of a blind man for the past few days and hadn't shown any abnormalities; otherwise, something terrible might have happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he had planned to sneak out of the city to hunt monsters and rapidly increase his strength through Endless Devour, but now it seemed that this would have to be shelved for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ye Lin was unwilling to just waste such precious time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin took a deep breath, ripples rising in his heart. He sat quietly in the darkness, pondering a countermeasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he was already being watched, he couldn't act rashly. He needed to find a safe place, a place where he could safely hide and develop his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But where could he find such a place? Who knew how long that person in the shadows would watch him? What if they watched for several years?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was Ye Lin really going to play the blind man for years and not even level up? This was clearly something Ye Lin could not accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Ye Lin was struggling with this, something suddenly fell out of his Great Sumeru Ring on its own!\u003C\u002Fp>",1387,"2026-06-21T02:52:47.916Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","91a95c22bf7d683737cf05c067da6b387a0fef2283e08ecf03bd148f1751c513","forbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-chapter-122","forbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-chapter-120",847,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fforbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-cover.jpg"]
