Chapter 290

Ye Lin's face turned green instantly.

Damn it, safety pants are truly the worst invention in this world.

However, Student Zhuge Yi's fair and plump beautiful legs still gave him a feast for the eyes.

Of course, Ye Lin was a man who had transcended low-level interests; he lifted Student Zhuge Yi's skirt certainly not to look at her legs, but to find her flaw.

Sure enough, Student Zhuge Yi, whose skirt had been lifted, was thrown into chaos.

Although this move was sleazy, it really could have miraculous effects.

Ye Lin took the opportunity to seize Student Zhuge Yi by the throat, and then a Forbidden Curse—Wall of Sighs blocked the few Student Zhuge family members and Xie Zhanxin and others who wanted to come over to support, also blocking their line of sight.

"You lecherous scoundrel!"

Student Zhuge Yi, whose cheeks were somewhat flushed, was burning with anger and wanted to continue attacking Ye Lin, but Ye Lin hurriedly persuaded her.

"Wait a moment, I have a treasure to show you!"

Ye Lin took out that golden peace lock. The moment she saw the golden peace lock, Student Zhuge Yi's missing memories finally recovered.

Her expression became incomparably complex, and a bit of sadness appeared on her face.

Seeing Student Zhuge Yi's appearance, Ye Lin let out a long sigh of relief; it seemed Student Zhuge Yi had returned to normal.

"Yiyi, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly not recognize your cousin just now?"

"My memories were sealed by the family head, Student Zhuge Yi."

Student Zhuge Yi took a deep breath, her face very solemn. She hadn't expected that Student Zhuge Yi could perceive her abnormality so keenly, and even less that Student Zhuge Yi would be so decisive when taking action.

"Sealing memories? The Student Zhuge family even has such methods?" Ye Lin was greatly shocked.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. They are coming; take me hostage."

Student Zhuge Yi grabbed Ye Lin's hand and placed it on her own fair, slender neck.

At this time, Xie Zhanxin and the people from the Student Zhuge family had also circled around from the side of the Wall of Sighs.

Seeing Ye Lin holding Student Zhuge Yi hostage, all four members of the Student Zhuge family were shocked.

"Ye Lin! Quickly release our Miss Student Zhuge Yi!"

"Ye Lin, do you not want your life anymore? If Miss Student Zhuge Yi loses even a single hair, just wait to face the full-force pursuit of our Student Zhuge family! By then, no one in the whole world will be able to protect you!"

"Ye Lin, it's not too late to regret it now!"

The four members of the Student Zhuge family were all extremely nervous, terrified that Student Zhuge Yi would suffer even the slightest harm.

"Use my life to threaten the people of the Student Zhuge family so they won't attack you again."

Although Student Zhuge Yi's lips didn't move at all, her voice clearly rang in Ye Lin's ears.

"Releasing her is fine, but your Student Zhuge family must not attack me again while in the Shan Hai Realm, and you must not be my enemy!" Ye Lin shouted loudly.

The four members of the Student Zhuge family looked at each other, and after exchanging glances, they nodded.

"Fine! You release Miss Student Zhuge Yi, and we, the people of the Student Zhuge family, guarantee we won't attack you again!"

"So obedient?" Ye Lin clearly underestimated the importance of Student Zhuge Yi to the Student Zhuge family.

"Hehe... what they care about isn't me, but these eyes of mine." Student Zhuge Yi's laughter carried a hint of desolation.

"By the way! Speaking of this, I want to ask, why can you perfectly copy everything I do? This is too heaven-defying! Is the Spirit Eye Master profession that scary?" Ye Lin couldn't help but ask the doubt in his heart.

"Relying solely on the Spirit Eye Master profession, naturally, it can't be done... Forget it, knowing too much is no good for you. You'd better worry about yourself; if Xie Zhanxin and I couldn't capture you alive, the next ones sent by the Student Zhuge and Xie families will be even more formidable existences than us, and it's not impossible that they might even send true core powerhouses."

Student Zhuge Yi's words made Ye Lin's teeth ache. He hadn't even resolved the Xie family, and now he had provoked a Student Zhuge family—what kind of situation was this!

He released Student Zhuge Yi and pushed her toward the Student Zhuge family members.

Seeing Student Zhuge Yi out of danger, the four members of the Student Zhuge family instantly changed their faces and were about to attack Ye Lin.

"What are you doing?" Student Zhuge Yi's face was cold. "Going back on your word is smearing the Student Zhuge surname!"

The faces of the four Student Zhuge family members changed, and then they knelt neatly in front of Student Zhuge Yi.

"Please, Miss Student Zhuge Yi, expel the four of us from the Student Zhuge family! If we are no longer members of the Student Zhuge family, we can attack and capture Ye Lin to complete the mission ordered by the family head and the elders!"

"Are you his match? Without me, can you withstand a few of his Forbidden Curses?" Student Zhuge Yi said coldly.

"Miss Student Zhuge Yi, aren't you looking down on the four of us too much!"

The four Student Zhuge family members were all unconvinced upon hearing this. Just now, it was Student Zhuge Yi who was confronting Ye Lin head-on, so they didn't realize at all what confronting Ye Lin head-on meant.

"Say no more. This time, my skills were inferior, and I was captured, which led to the mission failure. If the family head and elders blame anyone, I will bear it all."

Once Student Zhuge Yi said this, the other four members of the Student Zhuge family couldn't say anything more and could only leave with Student Zhuge Yi, filled with indignation.

Before leaving, Student Zhuge Yi gave Ye Lin a meaningful look.

"Ye Lin, I'll remember today's events! Next time we meet, I will definitely wash away today's shame!"

"Fine, then next time remember to wear safety pants if you wear a skirt!"

Upon hearing this, Student Zhuge Yi nearly stumbled and fell to the ground. She resisted the urge to turn back and beat Ye Lin up, and set off to leave this place.

With the departure of the Student Zhuge family, only Ye Lin and the Xie family members remained on the scene.

"Brother Xie Zhanxin, where are you going? Why leave without even saying hello?"

Ye Lin called out to the Xie family members who were preparing to leave quietly.

Xie Zhanxin's face was somewhat ugly, and then he shouted fiercely, though his heart was weak.

"Ye Lin, leave a line of retreat when doing things, so we can meet again in the future!"

"If we all swarm you, Ye Lin, it's impossible for you to kill all five of us. When you are exhausted, you won't be able to escape either!"

"By then, it will be us killing you!"

"Kill me? Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" Ye Lin couldn't help but laugh loudly. "I am a level 67 Forbidden Curse Master; who can kill me? Who dares to kill me?"

Listening to Ye Lin's arrogant words, Xie Zhanxin clenched his fists tightly. His heart was filled with humiliation, yet he knew very well that he was likely not Ye Lin's match!

He, Xie Zhanxin, had always prided himself on being the best at lightning techniques, but after seeing the great battle between Ye Lin and Student Zhuge Yi just now, his state of mind had already developed cracks.

At this moment, Xie Zhanxin was like a Go genius who had been invincible in his surroundings since childhood, easily winning district, city, and provincial championships, only to encounter Ke Jie in the first round of the national tournament.

Xie Zhanxin's eyes were bloodshot, he was panting like an ox, and his whole body was trembling non-stop. Then, he slowly raised his head and glared fiercely at Ye Lin.

"What... what will it take for you to let me go?"
