Chapter 822: Entrusting Someone to Handle Matters

~7 min read 1,396 words

Everyone in the inn was startled by Fanxin's reaction and couldn't help but look over.

No one expected that this young nun, who had initially seemed profound in Buddhism and as calm as a chrysanthemum, would suddenly burst out with a shrill, explosive sound.

*IOUs with left-handed interest are the hardest to pay back, ahhhhhhh! *

Hearing this, Ye Lin scratched his head and smiled shyly.

"Master Fanxin, you're joking. Where could I go to rob someone that would be as fast as this?"

Fanxin's face turned green instantly.

25 followed by 1,757 zeros—she didn't even know how to read this number.

With so much interest, even if all the Immortal Source Stones on the Eternal Continent were gathered together, they might not be able to make up this much!

How was she supposed to pay this? By selling herself or selling the Flying Immortal Temple?

"You're plotting against me! It's impossible for anyone to be able to repay this interest!"

Fanxin was so angry her little face turned pale. She regretted thinking that Ye Lin's understanding of Buddhism was no less than that of his deceased brother, Ye Xiehong, and that he was a talent worth cultivating.

Now it seemed he was far worse than his brother, Ye Xiehong; he was full of schemes and was no good person at all!

"Master Fanxin, food can be eaten randomly, but words cannot be spoken randomly!"

Ye Lin's face was serious as he took out the IOU Fanxin had signed at the time.

"It's written clearly on the IOU that you need to repay the principal and interest in full. The interest is also written clearly on it, and you approved the interest calculation method at the time."

"If you had repaid it the next day, the interest would only have been two low-grade Immortal Source Stones. You insisted on dragging it out for sixteen years before repaying it; who can you blame for that?"

"Tell me yourself, isn't that the logic?"

Fanxin was rendered speechless by Ye Lin, her towering chest heaving continuously as she pointed a finger at Ye Lin in grief and indignation.

"You!"

"You!"

"You!!!"

Fanxin's lungs were about to explode. How could she have known that Ye Lin would hide for sixteen years? During that time, she had even asked the Great Buddhas of the Flying Immortal Temple to calculate, but they couldn't calculate where Ye Lin was.

This guy was clearly trying to trick her on purpose, having even thought of his hiding place in advance.

"What about me? Paying debts is only right and proper. Hurry up."

Ye Lin narrowed his eyes.

"Master Fanxin, you wouldn't want the Buddhist Maiden of the Flying Immortal Temple to carry the name of a deadbeat who doesn't repay debts, would you?"

Fanxin was overwhelmed with grief and indignation.

Too shameless!

Too excessive!

Too inhuman!

She had walked the red dust and saved sentient beings for so long, seeing too many different kinds of people, but she had never seen someone as sinister and despicable as Ye Lin!

"Why aren't you saying anything, Master Fanxin?"

Ye Lin continued his fierce attack.

"You wouldn't be thinking of reneging on the debt? Forcibly attacking and killing me, so that the debt dies with the person?"

"But this is the busiest inn in this city, the place where news flows the most."

"As long as I shout once here, unless you slaughter the hundreds of thousands of living beings in this city, the news that the Flying Immortal Temple's Buddhist Maiden is a reneging deadbeat will spread to the four seas and eight wildernesses."

Fanxin bit her red lip hard, retreating repeatedly under Ye Lin's words, mist swirling in the depths of her eyes.

At this moment, she was like a young girl who had accidentally borrowed from a loan shark, and Ye Lin was that violent debt collector.

"Speak up, what are we going to do about this IOU? Or should I take the IOU and go directly to the Flying Immortal Temple to block the gate, how about that?" Ye Lin pressed step by step.

"No!"

Fanxin shook her head repeatedly, her face pale.

"I... I will try my best to scrape together enough to repay you, please don't let the Abbots of the Flying Immortal Temple know."

"Repay? What are you going to repay with?" Ye Lin sneered.

"I... I......"

Fanxin couldn't come up with anything after saying "I" for a long time.

With such an astronomical number, she couldn't find any way to repay it, and besides, this interest would continue to double every day.

"Can't repay it, right? Then I'd better go block the gate of the Flying Immortal Temple and see if the Flying Immortal Temple on Spirit Mountain can give me, the creditor, justice."

Ye Lin made a move to leave, and Fanxin hurriedly grabbed him.

"Don't, don't go... I'll repay, I'll definitely try my best to repay..."

"You can't repay it at all. I don't want to waste my breath on you."

Ye Lin kept a cold face, putting on a fierce and menacing appearance.

The corners of Fanxin's mouth turned down, and then she burst into tears.

"Wuuuuuuuuuu!"

Fanxin collapsed on the table and burst into tears; she really didn't know what she should do.

Ye Lin was dumbfounded when he saw this. He only wanted to use the IOU to force Fanxin to do him a favor; he really didn't want to make her cry.

Could it be that he had overacted?

At this time, the eyes of everyone in the inn were attracted. Seeing Fanxin crying so miserably and so aggrievedly, they subconsciously stood on Fanxin's side.

"A grown man, looking like a human, how can he bully a woman? And he's bullying a nun?"

"Exactly, bullying someone until they cry so miserably, it's too much. How can he do such a thing?"

"This guy doesn't look like a good person; I've been observing him for several days!"

Everyone discussed, and their eyes toward Ye Lin were full of disdain.

Ye Lin revealed a kind smile upon hearing this. With this smile, everyone in the inn looked as if they had seen a ghost, and they ran wildly toward the outside of the inn, wishing their parents hadn't given them two more legs.

The bustling inn instantly became empty, and even the waiter and the manager ran away.

Seeing this, Ye Lin put away his smile and also put away the Wusheng Sword he had held high.

He walked up and patted Fanxin's thigh to comfort her.

"Don't cry, Master Fanxin. Actually, I don't necessarily need you to repay this interest. How about this: you help me with one thing, and I can wipe out all the interest accumulated so far, how about that?"

Fanxin kept sobbing. She raised her head and looked at Ye Lin vigilantly with two eyes swollen like peaches.

"What matter?"

She was really scared of being tricked by Ye Lin.

Ye Lin smiled, patted his thigh, and said earnestly.

"It's very simple. The matter is like this: I have a small conflict with Elder Kuanglong of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tianmen, and I plan to go there to apologize, but you know, I'm insignificant, and I've been expelled from the Immortal Cloud Sect."

"Elder Kuanglong might not accept my apology, and she might even slap me to death directly. You know I'm afraid of death."

"So I want to ask you, can you invite a high-ranking monk with profound Buddhist knowledge from the Flying Immortal Temple to the Ten Thousand Beasts Tianmen to help me plead for mercy?"

"Once it's done, all the accumulated interest will be cleared!"

Fanxin took Ye Lin's hand off her thigh.

"It's really that simple?"

"Of course. I'm at my wit's end, which is why I'm resorting to this desperate measure."

Ye Lin sighed, a thick, inseparable sorrow appearing in his moist eyes.

"I can agree to this matter, but I want to go with you!"

Fanxin's eyes were firm; she was afraid Ye Lin would pull some tricks, so she had to supervise from the sidelines!

The corner of Ye Lin's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

A challenge to hold back laughter? He lost.

Ye Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud, patted his thigh, and said.

"It's a deal! Double happiness!" ===== CHAPTER 823 =====
