Chapter 611: A Masterpiece of Fame

The night was like spilled ink, silently soaking into the horizon.

The stars were like distant lamps, faint yet persistent.

A gentle night breeze brushed the willow leaves, emitting a rustling whisper and bringing the unique freshness and tranquility of the night.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Ye Lin and the woman both looked at the little fatty in disbelief.

Had he always been this brave?

Ye Lin had not expected that there was actually someone in this world who dared to speak to their own older sister like that; even if he were immortal, he had to admit it.

The little fatty was quite a character!

"What... did you just call me?" The woman's voice grew a few degrees colder, as if it were about to freeze the very night.

"Called you a stinking bitch! So what! Men are talking, why are you a woman making such a racket?"

The little fatty snorted coldly.

Ye Lin hurriedly grabbed the little fatty and advised him in a low voice.

"Zhen Youqian, let it go!"

"How can I let it go? Don't be afraid, Big Brother, I'll take her down!"

The little fatty picked up the dagger he had just used to stab his own thigh and charged toward the woman.

"Don't! That's your own sister!" Ye Lin still tried to persuade the little fatty, but he was completely unmoved.

"Never mind my own sister; if she dares to be disrespectful to my Big Brother, even my own father wouldn't be spared!"

The little fatty roared and charged forward with the dagger.

He did not notice at all that his sister's face had lost all expression, and the coldness on her body was enough to freeze ten old popsicles.

When the little fatty reached her, the woman raised a slender, fair hand; her movement looked slow but was actually fast to the extreme.

Almost in an instant, that fair hand landed on the little fatty's chest.

Though the palm looked light and airy, its force was terrifyingly absolute; the little fatty, a late-stage Spirit Gathering realm cultivator, had his mouth fly open, his eyes bulge out, and he instantly collapsed to his knees.

Ye Lin's pupils also shrank sharply; this woman looked like she lacked the strength to truss a chicken, but in reality, her cultivation realm had already reached Profound Passage!

And judging by her strike, this woman's strength was even above Chen Qi's.

Ye Lin was suddenly somewhat glad that he hadn't rashly acted to rob the caravan; otherwise, he would either be chased around now or be forced to use the Renhuang Flag again.

Because of that "stinking bitch" comment, the woman clearly held nothing back with that palm strike, and the little fatty remained on the ground for a long time, unable to crawl up.

Yet, he still struggled to raise a hand and said toward Ye Lin's direction.

"Big Brother... I tried my best. For my sake, use that move on her..."

Ye Lin fell silent.

He hadn't expected that this little fatty would be so loyal to him after knowing him for such a short time.

The woman looked back at Ye Lin at this moment.

"Speak, who exactly are you? Don't force me to take action against you."

"To tell you the truth, I'm just a passerby. My friend is waiting for me in Lingquan County, and I didn't know how to get there. I happened to run into your caravan, and a kind guard uncle let me follow from a distance, so I followed," Ye Lin said truthfully.

The woman frowned slightly, but she didn't continue to ask anything further.

After all, she could see Ye Lin's realm very clearly: a Great Perfection of the Pulse Condensation realm, he couldn't flip the sky.

She grabbed Zhen Youqian by the ankle and dragged him back.

"Zhen Youliao, let me go! I want to stay with my Big Brother!"

"Big Brother, hurry and save me! Use that move on her! That move, what's-it-called-tis!"

"Big Brother!"

The little fatty yelled and struggled, tears even seeping from the corners of his eyes.

Ye Lin ignored him and instead looked at those bright, glaring headlights.

"Truly-Has-Substance" (Zhen Youliao), this name was truly well-chosen.

Seeing the little fatty still chattering away, Ye Lin gave a light shout.

"What was that expression for! And what were those tears for!"

"Do you know the three things a man must protect in this life?"

"His own family, the woman in his arms, and the brothers by his side!"

"Isn't your sister your family? You actually wanted to lay hands on your family? That is your own flesh and blood!"

Ye Lin's instruction made the little fatty stop struggling, and he muttered to himself.

"Family... woman... brothers!"

"Big Brother, I understand! I get it! Don't worry, I definitely won't lose face for you! Once I get to Lingquan County, I'll sneak out to find you again!"

Zhen Youliao couldn't help but twitch her lips; she turned around and kicked Zhen Youqian unconscious. She truly couldn't stand her younger brother anymore.

After sending the siblings off, Ye Lin leaned back tactically against the tree behind him.

The two siblings—one at Profound Passage, one at late-stage Spirit Gathering—the power behind this caravan was definitely not simple.

It was just a question of how many such powers were there in Lingquan County?

Early the next morning, the caravan set off again.

Ye Lin did not cross the line and continued to follow far behind the caravan.

After walking for another day, a massive city appeared in Ye Lin's field of vision.

The city was like a giant beast crouching down, its walls pitch-black, giving the impression of being as solid as rock.

On the plaque atop the city gate, the three large characters "Lingquan County" were written in a bold, sweeping calligraphy.

"Finally here."

Ye Lin let out a long, turbid breath. He chose not to continue traveling with the caravan, but instead separated from them and entered Lingquan County alone.

However, Lingquan County was so large that finding the three people—Qiu Weizhi and his companions—became a difficult problem.

Ye Lin stopped a few people on the roadside to ask, but none of them had heard of the names of Qiu Weizhi and the others.

"Since that's the case, I can only find a way to make myself famous so that Qiu Weizhi and the others will come to find me," Ye Lin muttered to himself.

As for how to make himself famous, Ye Lin could be said to be very experienced.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed quietly.

Over these five days, Lingquan County had gained a new celebrity.

On the streets and in the alleys, among peddlers, women, and children, everyone was discussing this person's name.

"Have you heard? That guy named Ye Lin has done every evil thing imaginable! He brought a blind man to the entrance of a bear cave and told him to keep walking straight to get home!"

"That's not all, Ye Lin even tricked a vegan into eating a vegetable-person!"

"Ye Lin went to the Shaolin Temple and played those kinds of movies, only playing the plot and skipping the main scenes!"

"That damned Ye Lin even took a group of children to a fierce beast zone and told them to have free time!"

"My old man has been a vegetable for over a decade, and that dog Ye Lin watered him! It made my old man so angry he sat right up!"

"He wished a ninety-nine-year-old man a long life of a hundred years, and told a ninety-eight-year-old man to go for a walk after meals!"

"I also heard that Ye Lin is a true demon from beyond the realm!"

"That beast even went to the entrance of an orphanage to hand out charity lunches, but required the parents to sign for them! Is that even reasonable?"

"More than that, he even shouted 'Fire!' at the entrance of the crematorium! While shouting, he splashed water into the incinerator!"

"That really is very evil!"
