At the entrance of the Lin family.
A carriage sped past.
Ye Lin looked at the Lin family, which was within reach.
She turned back to look at Ye Chen inside the carriage and murmured, “Brother, just hold on a little longer, I’ll immediately ask Sister Lin Xian’er to save you!”
With that, Ye Lin dismounted the carriage without delay and walked towards the Lin family’s main gate.
“Two big brothers, my name is Ye Lin, I have an urgent matter to discuss with Sister Lin Xian’er, please help me inform her!”
In front of the Lin family’s gate, Ye Lin spoke to the two guards with a pleading expression.
After all, when under someone’s roof, one has to bow their head.
Moreover, Ye Lin was still hoping that Lin Xian’er would step in to rescue Ye Chen.
If she were to displease the Lin family guards, wouldn’t Ye Chen be completely beyond saving?
“Ye Lin? You are Ye Chen’s younger sister?”
In response to Ye Lin’s words, the Lin family guards answered irrelevantly.
Ye Lin nodded lightly and said, “That’s right, two big brothers, my brother is indeed Ye Chen. I’ve come here with an important matter for Sister Lin Xian’er, please help me relay the message!”
Ye Lin originally thought that by mentioning Ye Chen’s name, these two guards would surely go and inform Lin Xian’er.
Who would have thought that as Ye Lin’s voice fell, the two guards in front of the Lin family’s main gate not only didn’t go to inform her, but instead looked at the carriage not far away with a mocking expression and said, “Now, in Qingcheng Mountain, who doesn’t know that Ye Chen has become a good-for-nothing!”
“Are you looking for our Young Miss at this time because you want her to save your brother?”
Seeing that her intention for coming was seen through by the Lin family guards, Ye Lin no longer concealed it and said, “That’s right, two big brothers, I do indeed want Sister Lin Xian’er to step in and treat my brother!”
“Please, two big brothers, help me relay the message!”
One of the guards in front of the Lin family gate said with disdain in his eyes, “Relay? Why? Because of your good-for-nothing brother?”
Earlier, Lin Xian’er had already anticipated that Ye Lin would bring Ye Chen, so she had arranged with the guards at the gate beforehand that if Ye Lin came, they were to simply send her away.
Otherwise, how could they, mere small guards, dare to make things difficult for Ye Lin like this?
One must know that Ye Lin was Ye Chen’s younger sister, and Ye Chen was Lin Xian’er’s fiancé.
If it were in the past, they would never have dared to make things so difficult for Ye Lin.
As for now, that was a different story.
After all, Ye Chen was now a cripple, and Lin Xian’er had also sent word for them to tell Ye Chen to cancel their engagement.
Otherwise, even if they had more guts, how would they dare to obstruct Ye Chen’s younger sister in such a manner?
Wasn't that just asking for trouble?
Facing the Lin family guard’s humiliation, Ye Lin’s small Face puffed up with anger and she said, “My brother is not a good-for-nothing! My brother is the number one Genius in Qingcheng Mountain! I won’t allow you to speak about my brother like that!”
Looking at Ye Lin, who dared to talk back, the Lin family guard’s Face showed a hint of anger and he said, “Little girl, who gave you the courage to speak to us like that? Do you think you are still the same as before?”
“Before, with your brother protecting you, we gave your brother Face. Now that your brother has become a good-for-nothing, what qualifications do you think you have to shout at us?”
Ye Lin felt indignant and said, “How can you be like this? My brother is at least Sister Lin Xian’er’s fiancé. Aren’t you afraid that Sister Lin Xian’er will punish you?”
The Lin family guard curled his lips in disdain and said, “Punish? Do you think you are worthy? Or is your brother worthy?”
“If it were in the past, we two brothers really wouldn’t dare to do this, but now, it’s different!”
“Besides, do you think your brother, in his current state, is still worthy of our Young Miss?”
“If you know what’s good for you, scram quickly!”
“Otherwise, don’t blame us two brothers for being impolite to you!”
Ye Lin trembled with anger and said, “You… you… you are truly going too far…”
The Lin family guard said impatiently, “We two brothers are indeed bullying you, what can you do to us? If you have the ability, then make your good-for-nothing brother stand up!”
With that, the Lin family guard raised his hand and slapped Ye Lin away, saying with a look of disgust, “Scram quickly, stop bringing bad luck to our Lin family.”
……
Inside the carriage.
Ye Chen, who was originally recovering his cultivation in the Everlasting Heavenly Tomb, suddenly heard the quarrel outside. He then opened his eyes, his consciousness withdrew from the Everlasting Heavenly Tomb, and he woke up.
“Martial Artist First Heaven!”
Upon waking, Ye Chen felt the continuous surge of power within his body and couldn’t help but exclaim, “As expected of the Everlasting Heavenly Tomb, which seals the heavens, suppresses the earth, and buries all immortals. In such a short time, it’s equivalent to several years of my arduous cultivation…”
……
On the ground.
Ye Lin, covered in dust, struggled to her feet, her Face full of unwillingness as she walked towards the Lin family’s main gate once more.
For Ye Lin, at this moment, the only person she could think of to save Ye Chen was Lin Xian’er.
If she were to leave the Lin family now, then Ye Chen would truly be on a path to death.
Not far away.
The Lin family guard saw Ye Lin approaching again, a sinister look flashed across his Face, and he said in a deep voice, “Little girl, you’re quite stubborn. Since that’s the case, I’ll send you to be buried with your brother in advance!”
With that, one of the guards at the Lin family entrance flashed, raised his hand, and struck towards Ye Lin’s Face.
Seeing this scene.
Ye Lin stood frozen in place, her Face full of panic, not knowing what to do.
Just at that critical moment.
“How dare you touch my sister, you’re courting death…”
As an angry roar came, Ye Chen, like an arrow released from a bowstring, rushed out of the carriage and mercilessly charged towards the Lin family guard.
“This… how is this possible…”
Looking at the approaching Ye Chen, the Lin family guard’s Face showed a ghostly expression, and he said in disbelief.
“Boom…”
The next second.
Only a loud bang was heard, and the Lin family guard was directly sent flying by Ye Chen, kneeling on the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, still in disbelief: “This… how is this possible?”
“Weren’t you crippled by Grand Elder Wang?”
Ye Chen paid no attention to the Lin family guard’s words. Instead, he walked to Ye Lin, pulled the still-shaken Ye Lin into his arms, and gently comforted her, “Lin’er, you’ve suffered during this time!”
“Leave the rest to big brother!”
“With big brother here, no one will ever bully you again…”
Ye Lin, held in Ye Chen’s arms, trembled at the familiar voice, her eyes welling up as she said, “As long as big brother can be saved, no matter how great the suffering, Lin’er doesn’t feel it…”
As she spoke, Ye Lin seemed to remember something, she pushed Ye Chen away abruptly, her small Face filled with shock and said, “Brother, your injuries…”
Ye Chen patted his body and chuckled, “They’re already healed!”
Ye Lin said in disbelief, “How is this possible? Before, I visited so many medical halls, they… they clearly said brother…”
Ye Lin originally wanted to say that his days were numbered, but the words caught in her throat, feeling inauspicious, and for a moment, she didn’t know how to speak.
Ye Chen chuckled, “Perhaps Heaven took pity on Lin’er, fearing that if big brother died, Lin’er would be all alone, so it healed big brother’s injuries!”
It wasn’t that Ye Chen didn’t want to tell the truth, but after understanding the Everlasting Heavenly Tomb, Ye Chen felt that the Everlasting Heavenly Tomb was of great importance, and letting Ye Lin, a person without cultivation, know about it might not be a good thing.
So Ye Chen fabricated a lie to brush it off.
Of course, Ye Lin also knew that Ye Chen was lying to her, but for Ye Lin, as long as Ye Chen could recover, everything else was unimportant.
Looking at Ye Lin’s obedient and sensible appearance, Ye Chen lovingly stroked Ye Lin’s small head, then turned and looked with a dark gaze at the Lin family guard who had just attacked Ye Lin, and said coldly, “How dare you lay a hand on my sister, you truly don’t know what’s good for you…”
As he spoke, Ye Chen’s figure flashed like an arrow released from a bowstring. Before the Lin family guard could react, he raised his hand and struck at the Lin family guard who had just attacked Ye Lin.
Bang…
The Lin family guard, already injured by Ye Chen, now took another palm strike directly from Ye Chen.
He was sent flying backwards.
“Ye Chen, have you thought this through? I am a member of the Lin family. If you kill me, the Lin family will not let you go…”
Ye Chen paid no attention to the Lin family guard’s threat. Instead, he stepped on the Lin family guard’s Face and said in a deep voice, “How dare you lay a hand on my sister? Never mind that you’re from the Lin family, even if you were the King of Heaven, I wouldn’t be afraid…”
With that, Ye Chen exerted a little force with his foot, and the Lin family guard’s head instantly exploded like a watermelon, blood splattering everywhere.
After doing all this.
Ye Chen brushed off the bloodstains on his body, his previous ferocity gone. He turned to Ye Lin, and with a doting expression, he had Ye Lin get into the carriage and drove away from the Lin family.
Not far away.
After a long while.
The other Lin family guard finally recovered his senses, looked at the Lin family guard who was now undeniably dead on the ground, then turned and ran into the Lin family, reporting to the Lin family head.
……
Ye family.
In the deliberation hall.
The Ye family Grand Elder looked at the Ye family head on the main seat and said, “Family Head, what do you say we should do next?”
“Before, with Ye Chen around, our Ye family’s marriage alliance with the Lin family could still contend with the Wang family. Now that Ye Chen is crippled, and the Lin family has announced that they will cancel the marriage alliance with the Ye family, if the Wang family makes trouble for the Ye family at this time, what should we do?”
