Chapter 305: The Breakdown of Chen Long

Looking at Ye Lin's tea-sipping, pretentious act, Chen Long remained silent.

His vision was currently filled with purple—not deep purple, not light purple, but "we're-screwed" purple.

Chen Long could not fathom what kind of massive sin he had committed to end up with a freak like Ye Lin.

Looking at the corpse of Jiao Baibai, Chen Long walked silently to the side and then contacted Xie Hong.

"My lord, are you there?"

"What is it?" Xie Hong's voice came from the other end.

"Well... something happened..." Chen Long said.

"Hm? Did something happen to Ye Lin?" Xie Hong felt a jolt of alarm.

"That didn't happen... but something happened to someone else," Chen Long answered truthfully.

"As long as he's fine, if something happened to someone else, so be it. By the way, who is it?" Xie Hong let out a sigh of relief.

"Jiao Baibai."

"Oh... Jiao Baibai... Hm? Jiao Baibai?!" Xie Hong sat bolt upright as if rising from his deathbed.

"Yes, and he also burned down the Tiandu Beast Arena with a single fire," Chen Long replied.

"Damn it!" Xie Hong's eyes widened. "Didn't you stop him? What are you even good for?"

"I tried to stop him... but I couldn't."

Listening to Xie Hong's accusations, Chen Long felt incredibly aggrieved; he had tried his best to stop him, but how could he possibly restrain a beast like Ye Lin?

"Aren't you already Level 90? You can't even stop a Level 68?" Xie Hong grew angrier as he spoke.

The annual revenue generated by the Tiandu Beast Arena was extremely high and was one of their important economic sources, but now it had been burned to the ground by Ye Lin's fire; this was equivalent to throwing his Xie family's money into the water!

"I..."

Chen Long couldn't find the words; Ye Lin's Level 68 was fundamentally different from an ordinary Level 68!

That guy could even kill Jiao Baibai in one hit; how could an ordinary Level 68 job-changer do that?

"My lord... I don't think I am very capable of handling this job of monitoring Ye Lin. Why don't you transfer me back and send someone else instead?" Chen Long couldn't help but say; he was truly terrified.

Chen Long felt that if he continued to stay by Ye Lin's side, he would definitely go insane sooner or later.

"No! I don't trust anyone else!" Xie Hong took a deep breath. "Don't worry, I will handle the matter of the Tiandu Beast Arena properly! You just keep watching him for me!"

"I am busy with the marriage alliance with the Zhuge family recently. If there is any emergency, you can handle it yourself!"

Chen Long: "......"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Long took dozens of deep breaths before he managed to calm his nerves.

Afterward, he silently came before Ye Lin.

"What are you planning to do with those hundred-plus magic children?"

"Send them to where they belong. I said it before, I want them to have enough to eat."

Ye Lin contacted Father Ji, who was far away in Qingcheng. He planned to send these magic children to Father Ji first, and once he shook off the Xie family's surveillance, he would find an opportunity to send them to Bai Si.

Money makes the mare go; under the power of his wealth, the hundred-plus magic children were quickly sent to Qingcheng via the teleportation array in the capital. Along with them went a large sum of ill-gotten gains that Ye Lin had scavenged from the Tiandu Beast Arena and Jiao Baibai.

Before leaving, those magic children stared intently at Ye Lin, as if they wanted to carve his image into their hearts.

The expression under Chen Long's mask was complex. He was very familiar with that look; when he was rescued by Xie Hong back then, he had looked at Xie Hong with the same gaze.

After settling the destination for the magic children, a look of loneliness appeared on Ye Lin's face.

"Chen Long, can I ask you for a favor?"

"What is it?"

Chen Long retreated half a step in vigilance. He was almost developing PTSD from Ye Lin; whenever Ye Lin opened his mouth, he felt that nothing good was coming.

"The Xie family... won't let me go. If one day I really die, can you help me take care of these magic children?"

Ye Lin looked at Chen Long, his eyes clear and sincere, without any ulterior motives.

"Just think of it as... taking care of your former self."

Chen Long was silent for a long time, then slowly nodded. He felt he couldn't understand Ye Lin anymore.

It was just like learning that a streamer who shows skin for attention on the internet donates all the money earned from such antics to impoverished mountain areas.

"Rest assured, you will be fine for now. The Xie family has no plans to make a move against you recently; my lord has more important things to deal with," Chen Long explained.

"Oh? What is it?" Ye Lin asked curiously.

"A marriage alliance with the Zhuge family."

"Oh, how many daughters does that old geezer Xie Hong have?"

"One."

The smile on Ye Lin's face slowly faded, and his eyes sharpened.

"You mean, Xie Hong's only daughter, Xie Xiaoxiao, is going to marry into the Zhuge family?"

"Yes, why?" Chen Long was a bit confused as to why Ye Lin had such a big reaction; the information investigated by the Xie family didn't show any relationship between Ye Lin and Xie Xiaoxiao.

"It's nothing. Let's go, we're moving to the next location." Ye Lin turned and walked away.

Upon hearing this, Chen Long felt a jolt of alarm and hurriedly grabbed Ye Lin: "Where are you going??"

"Don't get excited. I'm not going to kill anyone this time. How about I go to the Xie family with you?" Ye Lin grinned.

Chen Long's eyes widened, as if he never expected that Ye Lin would dare to go to the Xie family!

But soon, he realized what was going on. In the current situation, even if Ye Lin entered the Xie family, no one in the Xie family would dare to do anything to him, unless the Xie family wanted to completely offend the Human Emperor.

"What are you going to the Xie family for?" Chen Long had a bad premonition.

"Nothing much, just paying a visit to the head of the Xie family to express my regards."

Ye Lin's smile was brilliant. Chen Long hurriedly followed, fearing that Ye Lin would stir up some more trouble.

However, Ye Lin didn't cause trouble this time, but what he did left Chen Long completely baffled.

Ye Lin first bought a second-hand "ghost fire" scooter from a second-hand dealer on Gui Street, the kind covered in colorful, flashy RGB lighting effects.

Then, Ye Lin went to a store and bought two large 2L bottles of iced black tea and two large bottles of green tea.

Immediately after, Ye Lin drove the glowing scooter to a barbershop. The moment he pushed the door open, a "Tony-teacher" wearing a headset and tight pants broke into a smile.

"Hello, handsome, what kind of hairstyle do you want?"

Ye Lin combed his hair with both hands.

"I want to dye this thing green."
