Chapter 529: Three Good Pieces of News and Five Bad Pieces of News

Ye Lin rubbed his hands in anticipation and asked Student Zhuge Ni.

"So, I have three pieces of good news and five pieces of bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"Ah... I'll listen to all of them." A rosy flush appeared on Student Zhuge Ni's face.

She was also somewhat expectant about what exactly Ye Lin was going to tell her.

Perhaps the two of them could clear up their past grievances and let their enmity vanish with a smile?

"Alright then, the first piece of good news is that Teacher Student Zhuge Qianxing has been successfully resurrected!" Ye Lin shouted excitedly.

Student Zhuge Ni was stunned for a moment, and then her entire being immediately became excited.

"Really? Has Father really been resurrected? Where is he? Why hasn't he come to see me?"

Student Zhuge Ni grabbed Ye Lin, firing off questions in a rapid-fire stream, not stopping for a moment.

Compared to whether she could mend her relationship with Ye Lin, Student Zhuge Ni was clearly more concerned about her own father, Student Zhuge Qianxing.

During the days when Student Zhuge Qianxing was gone, Student Zhuge Ni had missed him every single day.

"Don't be in such a rush, don't be in such a rush. Didn't I say there were five pieces of bad news? Listen to me as I lay them out for you."

Ye Lin cleared his throat, coughed twice, and continued.

"The first piece of good news is done; now it's time for the first piece of bad news: Teacher Student Zhuge Qianxing died again right after he was resurrected."

Student Zhuge Ni was struck as if by lightning, and her whole body petrified on the spot.

Alive? And then dead again?

"How... how did he die?" Student Zhuge Ni pressed.

"Hey! You've asked the right person! If you asked someone else, they might not know who the murderer was, but since you're asking me, you've definitely asked the right person!" Ye Lin nodded vigorously.

"What? Father was murdered? Who? Who did it? I want to avenge Father! This hatred and grudge are irreconcilable!"

Student Zhuge Ni clenched her delicate fists, let out an angry roar, and her eye sockets turned somewhat red.

"This is the second piece of bad news: I was the one who killed him!" A slightly guilty, shy smile appeared on Ye Lin's face.

Student Zhuge Ni was completely dumbfounded. She felt her brain had turned into a lump of paste, and she had even lost the ability to think.

She was like a marionette; although she still had breath and a heartbeat, she no longer knew what reaction she should make.

If Ye Lin killed Student Zhuge Qianxing, then Ye Lin was her father's murderer.

But with her strength, how could she possibly defeat Ye Lin?

And why would Ye Lin tell her all this? Was he... taking revenge on her? Taking revenge for her past arrogance and disdain for others?

Seeing that Student Zhuge Ni was on the verge of a complete breakdown, Ye Lin hurriedly supported her.

"Don't be in such a hurry! I still have a second piece of good news I haven't told you yet! Listen to me finish!"

Ye Lin continued.

"Originally, you would have had an invincible father-killing enemy, but after my investigation and evidence gathering, I discovered that you are not the Teacher's biological daughter, so this father-killing grudge naturally does not exist. Happy, right?"

Student Zhuge Ni turned her head mechanically and sluggishly to look at Ye Lin.

"You call this good news?"

Then, she suddenly became excited.

"Don't you spout nonsense here! How could I not be Father's biological daughter!"

"Ye Lin, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. I am no match for you, but that doesn't mean you can use such things to humiliate me!"

Looking at the agitated Student Zhuge Ni, Ye Lin hurriedly tried to comfort her.

"Don't be agitated, don't be agitated. Getting angry hurts the body. Why would I lie to you? I gain no benefit from lying to you, and besides, I still have the third piece of bad news and the final piece of good news!"

Student Zhuge Ni looked at Ye Lin with suspicion.

Ye Lin revealed a sunny, cheerful smile, then raised his finger to point at Student Zhuge Yi, who was standing coldly to the side.

"The third piece of bad news is that her name is Student Zhuge Yi, and she is the biological daughter of Teacher Student Zhuge Qianxing, genuine and authentic."

"And the final piece of good news is that I have also found your biological father. His name is Student Zhuge Qianyang, and he is the older brother of Teacher Student Zhuge Qianxing. In other words, Student Zhuge Qianxing is your uncle."

Seeing that Student Zhuge Ni didn't believe him at all, Ye Lin didn't dawdle and laid out all the evidence, including the golden peace lock from before, in front of Student Zhuge Ni.

"Teacher was such a smart person. As his daughter, you basically didn't inherit any of his advantages. Haven't you ever recalled anything that felt wrong?" Ye Lin pressed.

Student Zhuge Ni was skeptical, picking up the evidence Ye Lin gave her to examine.

This was all the evidence Ye Lin currently had. If Student Zhuge Ni still didn't believe him, he would have no choice but to drag that old geezer Student Zhuge Yi and everyone else from the Student Zhuge family over to testify.

After finishing the evidence Ye Lin brought out, Student Zhuge Ni couldn't stop trembling.

She couldn't believe this fact.

But the evidence Ye Lin brought out, piece by piece, was telling her that Student Zhuge Qianxing's biological daughter was Student Zhuge Yi, not her.

"Waa!"

Student Zhuge Ni suddenly wailed and burst into tears.

The sound of her crying was so miserable and desolate that it made those who heard it sad and those who listened shed tears.

She wailed without regard for her image, as if she wanted to vent all the emotions and grievances in the bottom of her heart.

The father she revered, Student Zhuge Qianxing, was actually not her biological father.

Seeing Student Zhuge Ni crying so miserably, Ye Lin couldn't help but walk up and pull her into his embrace, letting her lean on his shoulder.

"There, there, don't cry anymore. If Teacher has a spirit in heaven and sees you so sad, he will definitely be sad too."

But Student Zhuge Ni's tears were still like a broken levee, unable to stop. She hugged Ye Lin tightly, unable to control herself as she continued to sob uncontrollably.

Until she was tired of crying, she was still sobbing, but her emotions had stabilized somewhat.

Student Zhuge Ni rubbed her eyes, which were already swollen from crying, and looked at Ye Lin, asking with a hiccup.

"Then where is my biological father, Student Zhuge Qianyang? Where is he?"

"Well asked!"

Ye Lin immediately became excited, clapping his hands in praise, his eyes full of admiration as he looked at Student Zhuge Ni.

"This involves the fourth piece of bad news! He has been dead for over twenty years! Even his grave and ashes can't be found anymore!"

Student Zhuge Ni was stunned again in an instant, and then she wailed and cried again.

This time, she cried until her voice was hoarse and her tears were all dried up.

That sorrowful crying made Ye Lin feel somewhat unable to bear it, and he began to reflect on whether he had gone too far.

Ye Lin sighed faintly, then walked to Student Zhuge Ni and handed her a tissue.

"Don't cry anymore, you won't be pretty if you cry too much."

After Student Zhuge Ni took the tissue, Ye Lin continued.

"Oh right, there is one last piece of bad news: the Student Zhuge family doesn't acknowledge your existence either; you and your parents have been kicked out of the family genealogy together." ===== CHAPTER 530 =====
