I am very sensitive to the aura of the Karmic Fire; there can be no mistake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Ni nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Huang Litian led her to the ruins of the underground black market, Zhuge Ni was indeed able to track a familiar aura from the residual Karmic Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he saw the direction Zhuge Ni was tracking, Huang Litian’s gaze tightened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the direction Zhuge Ni was heading was exactly the direction of the Investigation Bureau!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surge of excitement rose in the bottom of Huang Litian’s heart; it seemed he would soon have substantial evidence to accuse Ye Lin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant his previous guesses were all correct—even if Kensen wasn't killed by Ye Lin, the matter of the underground black market definitely had something to do with him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Ni tracked the trail all the way, her face full of excitement, because she would soon be able to see the Ling Ye she had been longing for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when the two tracked the trail to the prison of the Investigation Bureau, they found it completely empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the empty prison cell, Zhuge Ni felt a bit disappointed, yet also a bit happy; she was disappointed not to see Ling Ye, but happy that Ling Ye had escaped and hadn't been caught by the Investigation Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her view, a guy like Kensen who ran an underground black market was a genuine villain, and Ling Ye killing him was nothing more than ridding the people of a scourge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are the people? Where did they go?\" Huang Litian’s eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Litian’s apprentice, Xu Xiu, hurried over quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, the person was released...\" Xu Xiu said timidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Released?\" Huang Litian rushed forward and grabbed Xu Xiu by the collar, his spit spraying onto Xu Xiu’s face. \"Who told you to release him? Without my orders, how dare you let someone go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know, Master. It was the Deputy Bureau Chief who signed it personally. Not only was the person released, but the Kensen case has already been closed; there's no need to continue the investigation,\" Xu Xiu said with a bitter expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Closed? No need to investigate further?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Litian felt as if all the bones in his body had been removed, and he slumped weakly to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that his efforts over the past two days were a joke, a complete and utter joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Litian punched the wall heavily, and bright red blood instantly stained the white wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of the big shots, were they all just a bunch of moving chess pieces?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This investigator, can you tell me where the person who was released went?\" Zhuge Ni asked Xu Xiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, I don't know either.\" Xu Xiu shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had reported it in a panic the moment he discovered Ye Lin had disappeared, but the response he received was a document signed by the Deputy Bureau Chief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It stated that the Kensen case was closed as an accidental fire, and Ye Lin was naturally released without charges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then...\" Zhuge Ni felt a bit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Zhuge, thank you for your cooperation, but I think... things have come to an end here.\" Huang Litian revealed a bitter smile. \"But don't worry, I will definitely fulfill what I promised Mr. Zhuge. Tomorrow morning, I will personally escort you to the examination hall and announce that you will become a member of the Investigation Bureau after you graduate from university.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, thank you.\" Zhuge Ni nodded. \"Then I'll be going first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking out of the Investigation Bureau, Zhuge Ni felt a sense of loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ling Ye... you really are a mysterious guy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The look of interest in Zhuge Ni’s eyes grew even stronger; what one cannot obtain is always stirring, and the less she could see Ling Ye, the more curious she became about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name Ling Ye was like a kitten scratching at the bottom of her heart, making her itch with impatience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Zhuge Ni returned home, she froze instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she actually saw the person she detested the most in her own home!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Lin! Why are you here?\" Zhuge Ni immediately frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Ye Lin was helping Zhuge Qianxing sweep up the fallen leaves in the courtyard. Facing Zhuge Ni’s interrogation, he shrugged and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Would you believe me if I said Mr. Zhuge has taken me on as his apprentice?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bullshit!\" Zhuge Ni was furious upon hearing this. \"How could my father take a coward like you as an apprentice? It seems you are not only a coward, but also full of lies!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that's what you say, then so be it.\" Ye Lin spread his hands, too lazy to explain anything further to Zhuge Ni.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could life ever be smooth sailing? He had already become Zhuge Qianxing’s apprentice and obtained the legendary Ancient Key of Apocalypse; being scolded by Zhuge Ni was to be expected. Anyway, getting scolded wouldn't make him lose a piece of flesh, and Ye Lin was very open-minded about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dozen years he grew up in the slums, he didn't know how many insults and beatings he had endured. Those people cursed much worse than Zhuge Ni, with insults that started with the opponent's mother as the center and female relatives as the radius. By comparison, Ye Lin even felt that Zhuge Ni’s scolding was like acting spoiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get out of here right now! Immediately!\" Zhuge Ni pointed at the door and said in a sharp voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm afraid that's not for you to decide. If Mr. Zhuge speaks up, then I will leave immediately,\" Ye Lin replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Mr. Zhuge you speak of is my father! Do you think my father would be biased toward an outsider?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Ye Lin still dared to defy her, Zhuge Ni became even angrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad! Dad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong, my little princess? Why are you throwing a tantrum as soon as you get home?\" Zhuge Qianxing walked out with a helpless look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry up and kick him out! This guy is a coward and a liar; why are you keeping him in our house?\" Zhuge Ni said anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... Ye Lin isn't lying to you; Dad and he are indeed in a master-apprentice relationship now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Zhuge Qianxing finished speaking, before he could continue to explain, Zhuge Ni exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you say? Dad! Have you gone senile? You took him as an apprentice? Are you crazy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Ni pointed at Ye Lin and said excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine! Even setting aside his character, just looking at his talent—a Forbidden Spellcaster—what are you going to teach him? Forbidden Spellcasters don't live past 25! He might just die before you do, Dad. What are you hoping for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As wise as Zhuge Qianxing was, he didn't know what to say at this moment. He couldn't exactly spill the secret of Ye Lin’s immortality to Zhuge Ni, could he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ni Ni, don't say it so harshly. Ye Lin is actually not as bad as you imagine; the truth is, he is the very Ling Ye you have been searching for so hard! Ye Lin and Ling Ye are the same person!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Qianxing had thought Zhuge Ni would change her opinion of Ye Lin after hearing this, but unexpectedly, Zhuge Ni only sneered and cast a cold glance at Ye Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't expect this! Not only are you a coward and a liar, but you're also a fraud who steals fame! You even managed to trick my father!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day, she had seen with her own eyes Ye Lin turn and run away, and she had also seen with her own eyes Ling Ye descend before her like a savior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could these two people be the same person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People are like this; once they have determined something and fallen into an obsession, it is very difficult to turn back. Zhuge Ni was exactly like that at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this house! It's either him or me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Ni stormed off, and as she passed by Ye Lin, she said through gritted teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just you wait! I will definitely find the real Ling Ye and tear off your hypocritical mask!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1391,"2026-06-21T02:52:47.916Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","ed2546a2b461bbfe82c454a2371406f6a0238ae32d612adaa5a515321a78d489","forbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-chapter-47","forbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-chapter-45",847,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fforbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-cover.jpg"]
