Chapter 308: The Enraged Xie Hong

"Oh~ me too, I use Stankang too!"

Ye Lin smiled and placed the newspaper on the table in front of Xie Hong, preparing to find an opportunity to take it outside and throw it away later.

There was nothing valuable in the restroom for Ye Lin to steal, so Xie Hong did not think much of it and continued speaking.

"Five days from now, the Zhuge family will come to propose marriage. Since you are confident, I will not ask further. If you give the Zhuge family an answer and retrieve that half of the Origin Ancient Artifact, I will marry Xiaoxiao to you. You shall stay at the Xie residence for these five days!"

"Very well, Father-in-law! I will listen to you! By the way, could you let me see Xiaoxiao? I haven't seen her for a long time and I miss her quite a bit." Ye Lin scratched his head somewhat shyly, looking exactly like a young man who had just discovered love and was troubled by it.

"No problem, have Chen Long take you there." Xie Hong waved his hand. This was the Xie residence, after all, and he was not afraid that Ye Lin would dare to do anything to Xie Xiaoxiao.

"Alright, goodbye Father-in-law~"

Ye Lin gave a sweet greeting and had Chen Long take him to find Xie Xiaoxiao. As he walked out of the reception room door, Ye Lin scratched his head in confusion; he felt as if he had forgotten something.

After Ye Lin left, Xie Hong sat in the reception room, his thoughts racing.

"Can he divine the whereabouts of half an Origin Ancient Artifact... Ye Lin, oh Ye Lin, what kind of contingency plan did Zhuge Qianxing leave for you?"

Ye Lin was now a level 68 Forbidden Spellcaster, and he was full of vitality; this guy did not seem to be affected at all by the flaw that Forbidden Spellcasters lived short lives.

Given time, it was not impossible for him to become the first Forbidden Spellcaster in history to step into the Third Realm!

Such a person would absolutely be a top-tier influential figure in the Great Xia in the future.

If Ye Lin were willing to reveal all his secrets and peacefully act as a dog for his Xie family, then Xie Hong could fully accept marrying Xie Xiaoxiao to Ye Lin.

After all, in a marriage alliance with the Zhuge family, the Zhuge family would still put their own interests first.

But if he could recruit Ye Lin as a live-in son-in-law, the Xie family would gain a gold-medal fighter. He had investigated: Ye Lin had no father or mother, a complete orphan, with a very clean background.

If Ye Lin and Xie Xiaoxiao could produce offspring, and those offspring were then groomed to be the successors of the Xie family, there would be no worry that Ye Lin would not work his life away for the Xie family.

As the head of the Xie family, Xie Hong actually saw through many things very clearly.

"Ye Lin, oh Ye Lin, now it just depends on whether you can give me a surprise." Xie Hong revealed a smile of someone who had everything under control.

Having figured everything out, Xie Hong noticed the bundle of newspapers Ye Lin had left on the table. He frowned, then carefully opened it.

He wanted to see exactly what Ye Lin had brought out of the restroom! This guy was very shrewd and certainly wouldn't do anything without a purpose!

On the other side, Chen Long led Ye Lin to the depths of the Xie family courtyard.

"Wait for me here, I'll go call the Young Lady out."

Chen Long gave an instruction, then stepped forward and knocked on Xie Xiaoxiao's door.

"Young Lady, Ye Lin is here."

"Ye Lin?"

A voice of confusion came from inside the room, and then Xie Xiaoxiao recalled the sunny and cheerful young man in the Dragon Pool Secret Realm whom she had mistaken for Ye Mushuang.

"What is he here for?"

Xie Xiaoxiao was somewhat puzzled, but she still pushed the door open and walked out.

Xie Xiaoxiao was dressed in a light-colored long dress. The hair she had previously cut into a buzz cut had grown back out, styled in a light bun, with a few stray locks swaying gently in the breeze, beautiful enough to stir the heart.

Seeing Xie Xiaoxiao, Ye Lin gave his green bangs a forceful flick and revealed a smile he considered very handsome.

"Xiaoxiao, long time no see."

Xie Xiaoxiao stiffened, standing blankly at the doorway of her room.

"Your hair..."

She slowly retreated half a step, wanting to close the door, but at this moment, Ye Lin stepped forward quickly and braced the door, not letting Xie Xiaoxiao close it, while speaking with a wronged expression.

"Xiaoxiao! Why are you so cold to me? Can we talk?"

"If you have something to say, say it here." Xie Xiaoxiao's expression was somewhat stiff.

"Hey, won't you invite me in to sit for a while?"

Ye Lin raised his hand, inadvertently revealing a crystal-clear blue bracelet on his wrist. The bracelet emitted a faint chill, as if carved from ten-thousand-year-old extreme ice.

Xie Xiaoxiao's pupils shrank violently; she recognized the origin of this bracelet instantly!

Heart of Ice Crystal!

This was the equipment she had given to Ye Mushuang the first time she met him!

Xie Xiaoxiao suddenly realized, immediately understanding Ye Lin's intent and for whom Ye Lin had come!

"Please, come in."

Xie Xiaoxiao hurriedly welcomed Ye Lin inside. Chen Long wanted to follow, but was blocked outside the door by Xie Xiaoxiao.

"Brother Chen Long, you can just wait outside the door."

"No! That guy is a beast! I have to watch from the side!"

Chen Long refused flatly. He had seen in the past few days just how unconventional Ye Lin's actions were. If he really let Xie Xiaoxiao be alone in a room with him, Chen Long was afraid that Xie Xiaoxiao would go in weighing 90 jin and come out weighing 91 jin!

"Brother Chen Long, don't worry. If something is really wrong, I will call you. Just wait for me at the door."

Xie Xiaoxiao still had no intention of moving aside; she realized that Ye Lin must have something to tell her in private.

"This..." Chen Long was still somewhat uneasy, but seeing Xie Xiaoxiao's insistence, Chen Long found it difficult to say anything more; after all, Xie Xiaoxiao was Xie Hong's biological daughter. "Alright then, I will wait at the door. I'll say this first: if I discover anything wrong, I will break in immediately!"

"Okay, thank you, Brother Chen Long."

Xie Xiaoxiao revealed a smile, then closed the door and walked quickly to Ye Lin's side.

"He sent you, didn't he?" Xie Xiaoxiao's beautiful eyes were filled with sparkling light.

"Correct!" Ye Lin nodded. "The matter is urgent, so I'll keep it brief. Tonight, after night falls, climb out from the outer wall, and I will meet you outside!"

"He wants to elope with me?" Xie Xiaoxiao's heart pounded. What girl hadn't fantasized about escaping to the ends of the earth with her beloved, disregarding the opposition of the world, to live a carefree life?

"It's hard to explain now, anyway, if you come out tonight, you'll understand everything!" Ye Lin explained.

"Okay!"

Xie Xiaoxiao nodded firmly! Xie Xiaoxiao wanted to say something more, but at this moment, a roar of extreme fury suddenly came from outside.

"Ye Lin, give me your life! Even if the Human Emperor himself arrived today, he couldn't save you!"
