Chapter 150: Four in the Front, Eight in the Back, Crushed Repeatedly

~7 min read 1,394 words

"The Qingcheng Meteorological Observatory forecasts that starting tomorrow, a new round of relatively strong cold air will strike; this is also the strongest cold air since the second half of this year..."

A standard female broadcast voice came from the taxi's radio.

After using the Great Void Art to blend into Qingcheng, Ye Lin used the Illusion Face to change into a new face, then got into a taxi.

Coincidentally, the driver of this taxi was the same one who had recommended the underground fairyland to him last time.

"Master, take me to find..."

Before Ye Lin could finish his sentence, the driver waved his hands repeatedly, so startled that the thermos in his hand almost slipped and fell.

"I can't help you find that! I've turned over a new leaf! There's no such place in Qingcheng!"

"No, I'm not looking for girls, I'm looking for Master Yin Xiang," Ye Lin explained.

"Phew! You should've said so earlier! You scared the life out of me. You don't know, I recommended a good place to someone last time and almost got arrested by the Investigation Bureau. I'm truly terrified!"

The driver couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Is that so? There's actually such a thing! The Investigation Bureau is too much! Aren't they in charge of Class-Changers? How can they bully a common citizen like you!" Ye Lin spoke up for justice.

"Exactly!"

The driver thought he had met a kindred spirit and excitedly slapped the steering wheel.

"I just introduced that young man to the place, I didn't even take his money, isn't that just doing a good deed? And they still want to arrest me! I'm speechless!"

After venting his emotions, the driver realized he had lost his composure and hurriedly changed the subject.

"By the way, young man, why are you looking for Master Yin Xiang? If you want to buy equipment, you should go to the Class-Changer Guild!"

"To tell you the truth, I have a piece of equipment that is broken, and I need to ask Master Yin Xiang to help me repair it," Ye Lin explained.

"So that's it! Then you'd better be prepared. I remember Master Yin Xiang's fees are quite expensive, but that's normal; he is one of the three top-tier blacksmiths in our Qingcheng."

The driver nodded, chatting happily with Ye Lin along the way.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of a large courtyard.

"Master Yin Xiang lives here. Off you go, young man!"

The driver stepped on the gas and left, and Ye Lin waved at him with a smile.

The poor driver didn't know that before long, he would be invited to have tea by the people from the Investigation Bureau again.

Looking at the heavy security door of the courtyard, Ye Lin tore the door off and entered.

In the courtyard, there was a burning forge, emitting intense heat.

A lean, middle-aged man about 1. meters tall was pondering something in front of the forge. The moment he saw Ye Lin, his brows furrowed instantly.

"Who are you? Put my door down!"

Seeing the middle-aged man's reaction, Ye Lin guessed that this person must be the top-tier blacksmith Yin Xiang, one of the people who had hired assassins to kill him.

Consequently, Ye Lin slapped him with the door panel, and Yin Xiang was sent flying like a fly, crashing heavily into the wall, wincing in pain.

"You dare to come to my house and cause trouble? You're courting death! Someone, come here!"

Yin Xiang shouted angrily, and a dozen Class-Changers rushed out. As a top-tier blacksmith, Yin Xiang was never short of Class-Changers trying to curry favor with him; after all, high-level equipment was already a very precious treasure for the Class-Changers of Qingcheng.

Facing the dozen incoming Class-Changers, Ye Lin charged forward carrying the door panel. With the support of his strength, which was over a thousand points, the door panel in his hand became his best weapon.

Every time he swung it, a Class-Changer was sent flying. A few minutes later, there was no one left standing in front of Ye Lin, and wails could be heard everywhere.

Even Ye Lin had to sigh that a top-tier blacksmith was truly extraordinary; even the door panel was crafted so sturdily.

"Who exactly are you, sir? I don't believe I have ever offended you, have I?"

Yin Xiang realized at this moment that the strength of the person in front of him was extraordinary, and his tone became polite.

"You don't need to know who I am. I came this time to ask Master Yin Xiang for a favor," Ye Lin revealed a kind smile.

"I wonder what kind of favor?" Yin Xiang asked politely.

"First, call the other two people over: one is Yun Yingfa, and the other is Zhou Heping. Once they arrive, I'll tell you," Ye Lin said.

"Yun Yingfa? Zhou Heping?" Yin Xiang muttered to himself, then exclaimed, "You're that guy who was buying monster corpses at high prices at the Class-Changer Guild!"

Yin Xiang instantly guessed who Ye Lin was, his face full of terror; after all, he and the other two had hired killers to murder Ye Lin.

Those two people had disappeared without a trace after they left, and Yin Xiang had felt something was wrong at the time. He hadn't expected Ye Lin to actually show up at his door.

"Don't worry, Master Yin Xiang, don't be agitated. This is inside Qingcheng. No matter how bold I am, I wouldn't dare kill anyone here. Otherwise, would the Qingcheng Investigation Bureau let me off?"

Ye Lin spoke very sincerely, then fished a mobile phone out from Yin Xiang's person and stuffed it into his hand.

"Come on, invite the other two over."

"Brother, please calm down first. Whatever your demands are, we can talk about them properly..."

Yin Xiang wanted to say something more, but Ye Lin slapped the mute button on him. Yin Xiang instantly went silent and obediently made the calls.

"Hello? Is that Yun Yingfa? It's me, Yin Xiang. I have a good item here, but I'm afraid I might misjudge it. Come over and help me take a look!"

"Yes, at my place!"

Afterward, Yin Xiang used the same excuse to invite Zhou Heping.

More than half an hour later, a chubby old man walked in, wearing round-rimmed glasses, his face looking greasy, and a strong medicinal smell emanating from his body.

"Yin Xiang, what's going on? Why is your door gone?" As soon as Yun Yingfa finished speaking, a heavy security door panel swung toward him.

With a muffled thud, Yun Yingfa rolled his eyes and fainted.

A moment later, Zhou Heping was also knocked unconscious by Ye Lin in the same way and tied up.

After finishing all this, Ye Lin reinstalled the door panel and then thoughtfully locked it from the inside.

The awakened Yun Yingfa and Zhou Heping began to curse Yin Xiang.

"Yin Xiang! You dog! I treated you like a brother, and you actually set me up!"

"Exactly! If you had even given a hint, I wouldn't have come here without any precautions! You animal!"

Yin Xiang felt a bit guilty at first, but then he stiffened his neck and cursed back.

"What are you two pretending to be innocent for? You were the ones who said you wanted to hire killers to murder him. Now that the person has come to our door, you want me to take the fall alone? In your dreams!"

"Alright, stop arguing!"

Watching the scene of the three dogs biting each other, Ye Lin shouted to stop them.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you, but as the price for hiring killers to murder me, you must do me a favor!"

Ye Lin took out the bow belonging to the tongue-wagging masked man and threw it in front of the three of them.

"I'll give you three days to recast this bow into a new one. The requirement is that it must look completely different from the original, and it would be best if it could become stronger."

"As long as you can do it, I swear to heaven that I will absolutely not kill you! Otherwise, may I be struck by bad luck when I go out! Crushed back and forth, over and over again!"
