Chapter 223

Mao You, you must understand my painstaking efforts!

To avenge you, I'll just have to be a little tired...

Here, Ye Qingfeng had just finished fooling Ellen, and the conversation over there had not yet ended.

Ye Qingfeng took Ellen's small hand and approached, intending to hear what they were talking about. Just as he arrived, he noticed Lycaon glance at him.

It was a very ordinary glance, but Ye Qingfeng always felt a faint, lingering murderous intent. He still politely returned a smiling face.

Lycaon, however, felt that this was Ye Qingfeng provoking him.

As if saying: Old man! I'll take good care of Ellen from now on!

Lycaon forced a smile, then turned his head to continue listening to Ling's explanation of the purpose of this trip.

If it weren't for so many people present, and his excellent professional ethics, he would have loved to use his high-heeled... mechanical leg to kick him into the wall, the kind where you couldn't even pry him out!

He was just too arrogant! Just you wait... I'll make sure you have a hard time later, kid!

At this moment, Ling had just finished explaining, telling Lycaon the purpose of coming to the building, besides Rein's hacker identity.

"I really didn't expect that you were the legendary Ropecraft Method Phaethon, and that you visited here to search for a missing friend."

Lycaon temporarily cast aside the clutter in his heart and sighed to the Bangboo at his feet.

"Lycaon, did you see anyone while you were working in the building?"

"Unfortunately, although I would very much like to provide you with help, the data provided by the officials is very outdated, and we have not yet been able to grasp the situation inside the building."

"Ling, sorry to interrupt at this time, but there is a tricky matter now." Wise suddenly said, "Nicole just called and said that only after arriving at the helipad did she discover that the previously registered court attendees were the entire Cunning Hare House, and the court requires Billy and the others to be present as well."

"In other words, we have to go take the airship too? What should we do about the store manager's business?" Billy asked.

"No need to worry, because Qingfeng did not participate in the operation at the time, so he will stay behind to assist his sister in continuing to look for people."

"Everyone, I apologize for listening to your conversation without permission, but I have a suggestion. Since the Ropecraft Method master is looking for someone, why not act with us?"

Lycaon interrupted, "Since the Ropecraft Method master needs to find someone, and we are also hindered by outdated Hollow data, if both sides work together, we can get what we each need."

Ling did not accept or refuse immediately, but controlled Eous to run to Ye Qingfeng's feet and tugged at his pant leg.

After he leaned down, Ling lowered her voice and asked: "Qingfeng, what do you think? And as two outsiders, is it okay for us to enter their building which has an owner?"

"It's acceptable. They can be trusted. Besides, when it comes to finding people, there is strength in numbers!" Ye Qingfeng did not intentionally lower his volume, and the second half of the sentence was directed at Lycaon, "Is it okay for us to enter the building?"

Of the four members of Victoria Housekeeping, he knew three, and looking at Lycaon's polite demeanor, it was clearly not an evil organization, so they could be trusted.

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Ye Qingfeng." Lycaon nodded politely, then looked at Eous and said, "You two don't need to worry. During the facility maintenance period, the owner has already handed over all matters related to the building to us."

"Moreover, the legendary Ropecraft Method Phaethon is famous. Being able to forge a connection with you on behalf of the owner, the owner will surely be gratified as well."

"However, it seems you need to send these friends out of the Hollow first. In that case, let's wait until you have handled the matters properly before we advance into the depths of the building together."

Eous nodded, "Then see you later, Lycaon."

"See you later, Ropecraft Method master."

With that, Eous left with the Cunning Hare House group. After Lycaon watched them go, he was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he turned around and saw Ye Qingfeng still standing in place.

No way? They've all left... why are you still staying here?!

"Mr. Qingfeng, are you?"

"I'll just say hello and go!"

After saying this, Ye Qingfeng turned to look at the other three.

"See you later, Ellen. If you miss me, send me a message."

Ye Qingfeng held up his phone and shook it at Ellen, then walked to Lina's side and took out the ten volumes of culinary encyclopedias he had drawn earlier, "Miss Lina, thanks to your care before, please accept these."

As he spoke, he handed the ten books to Lina.

"It is truly an honor that Mr. Qingfeng still remembers this little woman." Lina's eyes lit up slightly after seeing the titles of the books, "Then I will accept them without being polite."

【Drip! Lina's favorability increased by 10%】

【Current favorability: 60%】

【Awarded 5 draw attempts, for a total of 37 draw attempts】

Recently, her culinary skills had hit a plateau, and the books Ye Qingfeng sent were just what she needed.

Mr. Qingfeng is truly thoughtful!

"You're welcome." Ye Qingfeng nodded slightly.

"Little Kelin, I didn't bring any gifts, but I happen to have a videotape related to filming."

Ye Qingfeng walked to Kelin, rubbed her head, and took a videotape out of his pocket with his other hand.

"No... no need! Kelin cannot take..."

Kelin waved her hands in a panic, but she did not resist Ye Qingfeng's head-patting.

"If I give it to you, just take it, right Mr. Lycaon?"

Ye Qingfeng turned back to look at Lycaon with a smile, while Kelin also cast an inquiring look, her pitiful little eyes making one feel love for her.

"Accept it, little Kelin." Lycaon took a deep breath.

"Thank you, Mr. Qingfeng!"

Kelin took the videotape with both hands, followed by a ninety-degree bow.

【Drip! Kelin's favorability increased by 5%】

【Current favorability: 55%】

"You're welcome~ Compared to the current title, I'd rather hear Kelin call me 'brother'."

Ye Qingfeng stepped forward to help Kelin up, then said with feigned distress.

A flash of hesitation crossed Kelin's eyes, but thinking of how Ye Qingfeng was patient with her and very gentle.

"Eh... Brother Qingfeng?!" Kelin called out timidly after hesitating for a long time.

"Little Kelin is so cute!" Ye Qingfeng reached out happily and directly rubbed Kelin's soft cheeks.

Little Kelin is so cute!

Ye Qingfeng rubbed Kelin's delicate skin, the elastic skin, and her pitiful little expression.

Ah! I really want to kidnap her!

"Ahem!" Lycaon's face darkened, and he coughed twice, trying to remind Ye Qingfeng to stop while he was ahead.

"Kelin is so cute, remember to call me brother next time we meet!"

Ye Qingfeng clearly understood Lycaon's hint, immediately let go of his hands, and said with a smile.

"Kelin knows!" Kelin rubbed her reddened cheeks with both hands and answered softly.

"Mm! Kelin is such a good girl!"

Ye Qingfeng patted Kelin's little head, then turned to look at Lycaon.

"I don't know what Mr. Lycaon likes, so why not accept this jar of tea leaves."

Ye Qingfeng didn't give Lycaon a chance to refuse, directly taking out a jar of tea leaves he had prepared for Qing Yi and stuffing it into his arms.

"Then I'll take my leave now, see you later, Mr. Lycaon."

After saying this, Ye Qingfeng ran away without looking back, not giving Lycaon the slightest chance to speak.
