Ye Chen chuckled and said, “Lin'er, even though Brother killed those Ye Family Disciples, don't forget, the Ye Family is one of the three great Families of Qingcheng Mountain…
Over the years, to prevent the Wang Family from dominating Qingcheng Mountain, the Ye Family has not only formed a marital alliance with the Lin Family but also cultivated several secret agents scattered in every corner of Qingcheng Mountain…
Before, though Brother killed those Ye Family Disciples, Qingcheng Mountain is full of the Ye Family's secret agents, so how could they not know who made the move!
It's just that Brother didn't expect the Ye Family to react so quickly; in just a few days, they found their way to the Hundred Thousand Mountains…
Originally, one Lin Family was already enough to make Ye Lin worried and scared.
Now, another Ye Family has been added.
What should be done?
Ye Lin asked Ye Chen with a worried little face, “Brother, what should we do next?”
“Why don't we go back to that stone chamber from before and hide for a few days!”
“Once they can't find us, they'll probably leave!”
Ye Chen shook his head and said, “Lin'er, you're thinking too simply!”
“When Brother was coming back just now, he encountered a few Lin Family Disciples. Brother was hiding in the dark and overheard them saying that Elder Lin Zhi swore to find both of us, even if they can't find us alive, they must find our corpses…”
Hearing that Lin Zhi was determined to find both of them, Ye Lin's little face immediately became distressed as she said, “Isn't this Elder Lin Zhi pushing us to our deaths?”
Originally, Ye Lin thought that since Lin Zhi had personally watched her and Ye Chen jump off the cliff, he would surely give up and lead his people away from the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Who would have thought that Elder Lin Zhi would be so ruthless.
He wanted to see them alive or find their corpses.
Isn't it obvious that Lin Zhi didn't plan to let go of their siblings, even in death?
Looking at Ye Lin's worried little face, Ye Chen gently comforted her, “Lin'er, don't worry, with Brother here, I will never let you suffer even the slightest injury…”
Ye Lin said with a troubled little face, “Lin'er knows Brother won't let me get hurt, but Lin'er also doesn't want Brother to face danger alone!”
Ye Chen patted Ye Lin's little head, and though he felt immense pressure, he feigned a relaxed expression and said, “Lin'er, just relax!”
“The Hundred Thousand Mountains are so vast; it won't be that easy for the Lin Family and Ye Family to find us!”
“Besides, if they don't plan to let go of us, Brother doesn't plan to let go of them either!”
“Since they want to find me so badly, then I'll let them see who is the hunter and who is the prey…”
Saying that, Ye Chen, not wanting to continue this topic, then pointed at the cleaned corpse of the Lightning Leopard on the ground and chuckled, “Lin'er, after all this time, you must be starving!”
“Let Brother go find some branches and come back to make you a fresh meal of roasted meat to replenish your body…”
Ye Lin looked at Ye Chen, who was about to leave, and suddenly remembered something, quickly saying, “Brother, why don't we move the corpse of this Yao Beast outside to roast?”
“I'm afraid that if we roast meat here, smoke will spread out and be detected by people from the Lin Family and Ye Family…”
Reminded by Ye Lin, Ye Chen slapped his head and laughed, “Lin'er, look at Brother's brain, I almost forgot about this!”
“It's a good thing you were careful enough to remind Brother, otherwise, wouldn't we have been exposed?”
As he spoke, Ye Chen drew the heavy, edgeless sword from his back, cut off a large leg of the Lightning Leopard, and called to Ye Lin, saying, “Let's go, Lin'er, with our two appetites, this one leg is more than enough. As for the rest, we'll save it to roast tomorrow!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin nodded and followed closely behind Ye Chen, walking out of the stone cave.
Not long after.
When Ye Chen felt that this spot was some distance from the stone cave, he found an open space, made sure there was no danger around, and then, with Ye Lin, picked up some branches nearby, started a fire, and began roasting the meat.
Watching the Lightning Leopard's leg being roasted over the fire, a rich aroma of roasted meat soon wafted out.
Smelling the fragrance, Ye Lin, who was already somewhat hungry, immediately heard a series of “grumbling” sounds from her stomach.
Ye Chen, sitting next to Ye Lin, heard the “grumbling” sounds from Ye Lin's stomach, then flipped his hand and took out the previously roasted snake meat that Ye Lin had prepared from his Storage Ring, warmed it by the fire, and handed it to Ye Lin, saying, “Here, Lin'er, have a little of this meat first to tide you over…”
“Once Brother finishes roasting this leg, I'll let you have a full meal…”
Originally, Ye Lin wanted to wait for Ye Chen to finish roasting the meat so they could eat together, but her stomach was simply too hungry.
So much so that Ye Lin couldn't wait for Ye Chen, who was still roasting the meat.
She reached out and took the warmed roasted snake meat from Ye Chen, gnawing on it bite by bite.
Seeing this, Ye Chen chuckled, “Lin'er, eat slowly, there's still freshly roasted meat here!”
“If you get full, won't this go to waste?”
“Mm!” Ye Lin nodded while gnawing on the meat in her hand.
It was as if she hadn't eaten for several days.
Ye Chen, seeing this, also smiled helplessly and continued to turn the meat on the spit over the fire, roasting it.
… … … …
“How is it? Have you found Ye Chen's corpse?”
As night fell, Lin Zhi, who had just walked out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, looked at the Lin Family Disciples in front of him and asked.
“No!”
In response to Lin Zhi's question, all the Lin Family Disciples shook their heads and said.
After a while.
A few Lin Family Disciples couldn't hold back and said, “Elder Lin Zhi, we've been searching in the Hundred Thousand Mountains for so many days; it's likely that Ye Chen's corpse has already been eaten by Yao Beasts!”
“Besides, we've been to the bottom of the cliff before. From such a high cliff, not to mention whether Ye Chen could survive, even if he didn't die, he's probably in a lot of trouble. Why do you insist on finding Ye Chen's corpse?”
Hearing this, Lin Zhi said impatiently, “These are the Family Head's demands. If you have any questions, or if you don't want to search anymore, you can go back and tell the Family Head!”
“Don't blame this old man for not telling you in advance, if Ye Chen's corpse isn't found, not only you, but even this old man will be punished when we go back…”
Upon hearing this, those Lin Family Disciples no longer dared to say anything. They all lowered their heads, found an open spot, sat cross-legged, closed their eyes, and began to cultivate.
Little did they know, this was not the Lin Family Head's order.
It was merely Lin Zhi's covetousness for the method to restore Ye Chen's Dantian and cultivation.
As for the Lin Family Head, he had only previously ordered him to bring people to capture Ye Chen alive.
He had not said that in case of special circumstances, he should also bring Ye Chen's corpse back.
Just then.
A sharp-eyed Lin Family Disciple seemed to discover something, then came to Lin Zhi's side, raised his hand, pointed towards where Ye Chen was roasting meat, and said, “Elder Lin Zhi, look over there…”
