Chapter 262: Student Zhuge Yi

After the story was finished, the double-pupil woman sat blankly in place, unable to let go for a long time.

Just now, after she touched that peace lock, this memory emerged out of thin air in her mind.

Was the story in the memory... true? Was she actually Student Zhuge Qianyang's daughter, and those elders who had been incomparably good to her since she was a child were actually her father and mother's killers?

This sudden memory caused a huge impact on the double-pupil woman's worldview.

This was like suddenly learning that the cute girlfriend you had been dating for three years, who was obedient and let you do whatever you wanted, didn't actually like you and was just coveting your handsome face. Who could handle that?

"So, you are the Student Zhuge Yi in the story?" Ye Lin asked tentatively.

Student Zhuge Qianyang and Student Zhuge Qianxing were own brothers. Calculating it this way, Student Zhuge Yi and Student Zhuge Ni should be considered cousins?

Student Zhuge Yi nodded upon hearing this.

"My story is finished, so who are you?"

Student Zhuge Yi narrowed her eyes slightly. Ye Lin instantly felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, as if he had been locked onto by something.

Although Student Zhuge Yi had no movements at the moment, Ye Lin could be sure that if his answer could not satisfy Student Zhuge Yi, then what would greet him next would definitely be Student Zhuge Yi's thunderous strike!

Thinking of this, Ye Lin sighed faintly and raised his head, his face full of sorrow that could not be melted away.

"My name is Ye Lin. You might not have heard my name. I am Student Zhuge Qianxing's only disciple! As the saying goes, a teacher for a day is a father for life."

"Student Zhuge Qianxing is your uncle, so... strictly speaking, you should call me cousin!"

Student Zhuge Yi's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and she exclaimed.

"You are Ye Lin?"

"You know me?" This time it was Ye Lin's turn to be surprised.

"I know. The elders gave me a task to capture you alive in the Shan Hai Realm and bring you back to the Student Zhuge Family!"

Student Zhuge Yi nodded calmly, then a pair of blue double pupils looked Ye Lin up and down, as if she was thinking about where to give Ye Lin a fatal blow.

"You are that Spirit Eye Master of the Student Zhuge Family?"

Ye Lin felt his whole body crawl under her gaze. Intuition told him that this woman must be very difficult to deal with.

No wonder Professor Shen always wanted to dig out her eyes; these eyes were indeed terrifying!

"Yi, don't be impulsive! I'm your cousin! Do you want to kill your own kin?"

"Not for now."

Student Zhuge Yi gently rubbed the peace lock with her fair jade fingers.

"I want to figure out first... whether that memory is true or not! I want to know the truth!"

Speaking of this, Student Zhuge Yi suddenly became a bit agitated. She gripped the peace lock and was about to leave.

She really wanted to tell herself that this was fake. Before she was sixteen, she and Student Zhuge Qianxing had actually been in contact in secret.

Student Zhuge Qianxing was knowledgeable. No matter what questions she had, Student Zhuge Qianxing would answer them very patiently. He was the best enlightenment teacher in Student Zhuge Yi's mind.

She had always felt that her uncle breaking with the Student Zhuge Family must have had unspeakable reasons.

But every time she asked about her own background, Student Zhuge Qianxing would avoid talking about it or directly change the subject.

One day, Student Zhuge Yi was really curious, so she ran to ask the elders of the Student Zhuge Family. The elders of the Student Zhuge Family told her that her parents were killed by her uncle when she was just born.

She went to question Student Zhuge Qianxing, but Student Zhuge Qianxing just remained silent. From then on, Student Zhuge Yi cut off contact with Student Zhuge Qianxing. Even when Student Zhuge Qianxing died, Student Zhuge Yi didn't go to see his funeral.

She couldn't imagine, if that memory was true, how she should face the many uncles and elders of the Student Zhuge Family! How she should face the spirits of Student Zhuge Qianxing and her father and mother in heaven!

At this time, Ye Lin hurriedly blocked her path.

"Stop for a second! Stop for a second! The truth you want to figure out, you aren't going to run back and question the head and elders of the Student Zhuge Family, are you?"

"Otherwise?" Student Zhuge Yi asked back.

"6."

Ye Lin directly made a '6' gesture.

"Big sister, what is your strength? Why are you so reckless? Even if you ask for the truth and they really are your father and mother's killers, what can you do to them? You run back to question them now; besides alerting the enemy, what is the point?"

After hearing Ye Lin's words, Student Zhuge Yi also calmed down from her agitation. She wasn't stupid; it was just that under the impact of this memory, she had lost some rationality.

"Then what do you mean? Let me pretend nothing happened and wait until my strength is enough to contend with the Student Zhuge Family before investigating this matter?" Student Zhuge Yi asked.

"That works! Not stupid! As expected, you can't judge a book by its cover!"

Ye Lin glanced at the Mariana Trench and continued.

"Just pretend nothing happened. Do whatever the Student Zhuge Family tells you to do. Until your strength is enough to contend with the entire Student Zhuge Family, whether those memories are true or false, isn't the initiative in your hands?"

Student Zhuge Yi raised her eyes and glanced at Ye Lin upon hearing this.

"Do whatever the Student Zhuge Family tells me to do? Then the first thing I have to do now is to take you down and go back to the Student Zhuge Family to claim credit."

"Hey, hey, hey! If the Student Zhuge Family really are your enemies, then I am your closest relative in the world! Cousin! Blood is thicker than water!" Ye Lin explained while moving his hand toward the Great Sumeru Ring without a trace.

Inside were the powerful itching powder he had just scavenged from Qiu Xingyuan's shop. If Student Zhuge Yi wanted to take action, he wouldn't mind giving Student Zhuge Yi a dose first.

Student Zhuge Yi's eyes glanced at Ye Lin's hand intentionally or unintentionally, then she said softly.

"The five people sent by the Student Zhuge Family this time, besides me, the weakest of the other four is at level 55. Even if I don't take action against you, it doesn't mean you can escape the Student Zhuge Family's pursuit."

"And... the Xie Family will also take action against you."

Student Zhuge Yi looked at Ye Lin curiously.

"I'm actually a bit curious about what kind of background you have to be able to live and kick after attracting the joint attention of two great families."

"Just luck. Don't worry, Cousin still has some ability to protect himself."

Ye Lin didn't say much. Hearing these words from Student Zhuge Yi, he completely let go of his heart.

Clearly, Student Zhuge Yi was not prepared to take action against him; otherwise, she wouldn't need to tell him this information.

It seemed that he had already solved half of the biggest crisis in the Shan Hai Realm. First, he found Qiu Xingyuan's little shop and strengthened his strength from the side, and then he successfully turned Student Zhuge Yi, the strongest in the Student Zhuge Family team, through the peace lock. This fourth brocade bag helped him a lot invisibly.

Student Zhuge products are indeed high-quality!

"You take care of yourself. Not taking action against you doesn't mean I will help you."

Student Zhuge Yi raised her hand and threw the peace lock to Ye Lin.

"You keep this thing for me first. I'm afraid carrying it will arouse suspicion from others. If it's lost, you don't have to live anymore. By the way, help me tell Uncle Qiu that Student Zhuge Yi will come to visit him again when she has time."

"Don't worry, the lock is safe, and I am safe!"

Ye Lin put the peace lock into the Great Sumeru Ring.

Until Student Zhuge Yi left, Ye Lin bid farewell to Qiu Xingyuan, gently closed the moss-covered wooden door, and whispered.

"What a move of 'deceiving the heavens to cross the sea'. Master, oh Master, you are even more ruthless than I imagined..." ===== CHAPTER 263 =====
