From now on, I’ll take care of Ai Lian!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laikain forced a smile, then turned back to continue listening to Ling’s explanation of their purpose here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for so many people present, and his excellent professional conduct, he’d have just kicked him straight into the wall with his high-heeled... mechanical leg—so hard not even a claw could dig him out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s way too arrogant! Just wait... I’ll make sure you regret this later!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Ling had just finished speaking, revealing to Laikain not only Rien’s identity as a hacker, but also their reason for coming to the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I never expected you to be the legendary Rope Weaver Phaethon—and that you’ve come here specifically to search for your missing friend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laikain set aside his inner turmoil and sighed to the Bumb at his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Laikain, during your work inside the building, have you seen anyone unusual?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry, but although we’d dearly like to assist you, the official data provided is extremely outdated—we still haven’t gained full awareness of the building’s current state.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ling, sorry to interrupt, but there’s an urgent matter,” Zhe suddenly said. “Nico just called—she realized at the helipad that the court had registered the entire Hare’s Den as the court attendees, and now Billy and the others must appear too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So we all have to take the airship? What about the shop owners’ business?” Billy asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to worry—since Qingfeng didn’t participate in the operation, he’ll stay behind to assist his sister in continuing the search.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for eavesdropping, but I have a suggestion: since the Rope Weaver is here, why not join forces with us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laikain interrupted, “Since the Rope Weaver seeks someone, and we’re likewise hindered by the outdated Hollow data, it would be mutually beneficial for us to work together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling didn’t immediately accept or refuse—instead, she directed Ies to run to Ye Qingfeng’s side and tug at his pant leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he bent down, Ling whispered, “What do you think, Qingfeng? And is it safe for two outsiders like us to enter a building owned by someone else?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s acceptable—they can be trusted. Besides, finding someone is easier with more people!” Ye Qingfeng didn’t lower his voice; the second half was directed at Laikain: “Is it alright for us to enter the building?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of Victoria Housekeeping’s four members, he knew three. Seeing Laikain’s courteous demeanor, it was clear he wasn’t part of an evil organization—he could be trusted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for your trust, Lord Ye Qingfeng,” Laikain nodded politely, then looked at Ies. “Don’t worry—during maintenance, the owner has granted us full authority over all building affairs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moreover, the legendary Rope Weaver Phaethon is renowned far and wide. The owner would surely be pleased to form a connection with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But right now, it seems you must first escort these friends out of the Hollow. In that case, we’ll wait until you’ve settled your affairs, then proceed together into the building’s depths.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ies nodded. “See you later, Laikain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“See you later, Lord Rope Weaver.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Ies led the Hare’s Den away. Laikain watched them depart, just as he was about to exhale in relief—he turned and saw Ye Qingfeng still standing there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What? They’re all gone... why are you still here?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Qingfeng, you are...?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m just saying goodbye and then I’m off!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Ye Qingfeng turned to the other three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ai Lian, see you later—if you miss me, tap on the communicator.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng waved his phone at Ai Lian, then walked over to Lina and pulled out ten cookbooks he’d drawn earlier. “Miss Lina, thank you for your kindness before—please accept these.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held the ten books out to Lina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Qingfeng still remembers this humble girl—it’s truly an honor.” Lina’s eyes brightened slightly as she saw the book titles. “Then I won’t refuse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ding! Lina’s affection increased by 10%】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Current affection: 60%】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Reward: ten additional draws, five draw chances—total draw chances now 37】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina had recently hit a plateau in her cooking skills—these books from Qingfeng were perfectly timed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Qingfeng is truly thoughtful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to thank me,” Ye Qingfeng nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t bring Kelin any gift, but I do have a video tape related to filming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng stepped before Kelin, ruffled her hair, and pulled a video tape from his pocket with his other hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“N-no! Kelin can’t take...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelin flusteredly waved her hands, but didn’t resist his head-rubbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just take it, alright? What do you think, Mr. Laikain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng smiled back at Laikain, while Kelin turned to him with a questioning, pitiful gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take it, little Kelin,” Laikain sighed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Lord Qingfeng!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelin accepted the tape with both hands and bowed deeply—ninety degrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ding! Kelin’s affection increased by 5%】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Current affection: 55%】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to thank me~ But compared to the current title, I’d still rather hear Kailin call me ‘brother.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng stepped forward to help Kelin up, then feigned a troubled expression. “Little Kelin, you’re adorable!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelin’s eyes flickered with hesitation, but she remembered how patient and gentle Ye Qingfeng had been with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eh... Qingfeng-gege?” Kelin whispered hesitantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Kelin is so adorable!” Ye Qingfeng beamed, reaching out to squeeze her soft, squishy cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Kelin is so squeezable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng kneaded Kelin’s delicate skin—the springy texture, her pitiful little expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah! I really want to kidnap her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough! Cough!” Laikain’s face darkened; he cleared his throat twice, trying to hint Ye Qingfeng should stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kelin is so adorable—next time you see me, remember to call me ‘gege’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng understood Laikain’s hint and immediately let go, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kelin knows!” Kelin rubbed her reddened cheeks softly and replied quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm! Kelin is such a good girl!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng patted Kelin’s small head, then turned to Laikain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know what you like, so please accept this canister of tea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without giving Laikain a chance to refuse, Ye Qingfeng pulled out a canister of tea meant for Qingyi and shoved it into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll take my leave now—see you later, Mr. Laikain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Ye Qingfeng ran off without looking back, leaving Laikain no chance to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>",1127,"2026-06-20T20:13:18.411Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","38594a592897f38c5d99a79debf8221b7f930a0a429cd22308d70db1f74e8018","love-life-begins-in-new-eliad-chapter-224","love-life-begins-in-new-eliad-chapter-222",280,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flove-life-begins-in-new-eliad-cover.jpg"]
