Chapter 119: Young Master, a Beautiful Girl in White is Looking for You Outside!
The guards were confused, but Zhao Yucheng wore a knowing smile.
To him, the fact that Lin Fengmian and Zhao Yazhi were still playfully bickering indicated a good relationship, suggesting that there was still hope for their future together.
“Yazhi, Lin Fengmian has changed his ways. Why not reconsider?”
“Huh! Even if he changes, he’s still a scoundrel and a playboy!”
With that, Zhao Yazhi turned to leave, though her gaze remained on the spot where Lin Fengmian had pinched her earlier, a complex expression crossing her face.
Meanwhile, Lin Fengmian raised his hand and sniffed the lingering scent on his skin, deep in thought.
This scent was different from what was left on a corpse.
He rubbed the scented wax between his fingers and noticed that its color was also different from that of the corpse.
Could it be that he was thinking too much?
Wen Qinlin looked at Lin Fengmian with a shudder and stepped aside.
“What are you doing, Brother Wen?” Lin Fengmian asked confusedly.
“Brother Lin, you’re a bit scary,” Wen Qinlin said bluntly.
Lin Fengmian rolled his eyes. “Aren’t you the same? Human nature is to appreciate beauty. Don’t you understand that?”
Wen Qinlin replied firmly, “I am not like you!”
Lin Fengmian leaned closer and whispered, “It’s green! We are the same!”
Wen Qinlin instinctively looked at her chest, realized what he meant, and gritted his teeth. “You better give it back to me!”
Lin Fengmian shrugged. “It’s gone, Brother Wen. You can’t keep things like that!”
Wen Qinlin’s face was filled with disbelief, but she knew there was nothing she could do about it.
The two of them took Master Huanglong and his disciples back to the Lin residence and locked them up in two empty rooms.
Luckily, the Lin residence was spacious, otherwise they wouldn’t have enough room for so many people.
After separating and interrogating the prisoners, they found that Master Huanglong seemed to be truly unaware of his disciples’ actions.
As dusk fell, Lin Fengmian looked at the night enveloping the surroundings and felt a sense of melancholy.
Luo Xue hadn’t come!
He sat quietly in the courtyard, lost in thought, until Little Butterfly rushed in excitedly.
“Young master, young master, there’s a beautiful girl in white outside looking for you!”
Lin Fengmian immediately jumped to his feet and ran to the door.
Luo Xue had really come to find him!
From a distance, he saw the figure in white standing outside the Lin residence, and his heart filled with joy.
“Luo Xue!”
The woman in white turned around, revealing an exquisite face, surprised as she asked, “Luo Xue? How can there be snow in July?”
“Senior Sister Chen, is it really you?”
Lin Fengmian never expected that it would be Chen Qingyan standing in front of him instead of the longed-for Luo Xue.
Chen Qingyan quickly realized the situation and chuckled softly. “It seems that Junior Brother Lin was waiting for someone else. I guess I’ve disappointed you.”
Lin Fengmian looked around with a serious voice. “Senior Sister Chen, what brings you here?”
“I’m here to find you. Liu Mei sent me to bring you back,” Chen Qingyan replied nonchalantly.
“She’s here too? Where is she?” Lin Fengmian asked in confusion.
“She is afraid that the Heaven Patrol Guards in your residence will target her, so she sent me to get you,” Chen Qingyan explained honestly.
“That woman still likes to avoid trouble. What if I refuse to go?” Lin Fengmian inquired.
“She said if you don’t come, she’ll give you this!”
Chen Qingyan threw a jade slip at him. Lin Fengmian caught it and upon examining it, realized that it was a jade sound recording disc.
When he activated it, Liu Mei’s soft, almost playful voice filled his ears.
“Little troublemaker, I hear you’re in trouble. Come to your sister at Wanfu Building, Room One. Maybe I can help you!”
“Don’t worry, with the Heaven Patrolling Guards around, I wouldn’t dare take you away by force. I promise I won’t lay a finger on you.”
Chen Qingyan smiled confidently. “I will stay here as a hostage. You can go without worrying.”
After thinking for a moment, Lin Fengmian turned to the following Wen Qinlin. “Brother Wen, I’ll go check it out. Keep an eye on her.”
Wen Qinlin nodded, her tone serious. “Be careful!”
Xia Yunxi wanted to go along, but Lin Fengmian insisted that she stay at the residence.
When he arrived at the Wanfu Building, he found Room One and met Wang Yanran and Mo Ruyu at the entrance.
Mo Ruyu was sitting on the banister, swinging her legs and grinning. “Junior Brother Lin, long time no see!”
Wang Yanran nodded slightly and spoke softly. “Senior Sister Liu is waiting for you inside. You can go in now.”
With a brief nod, Lin Fengmian pushed open the door and stepped inside. Inside, transparent curtains floated and steam filled the air, creating a dreamy atmosphere.
Through the fog and curtains, he saw a graceful figure by a square pool, water splashing on her pale skin.
When she heard him enter, she giggled, “Little troublemaker, you finally made it!”
Lin Fengmian stood at the edge of the pool and watched the beauty take a bath. Out of respect, he stiffened slightly.
“Liu Mei, what are you doing?”
Liu Mei pouted and feigned annoyance. “It’s been a while, and you don’t even want to call me Senior Sister anymore?”
Lin Fengmian sighed. “What tricks are you up to this time?”
Liu Mei slowly glided through the water, moving like a mermaid, and extended her hand to him. “Don’t be so tense, come join me!”
When Lin Fengmian saw her seductive curves that resembled peeled lychees, he couldn’t help but swallow hard.
He resolutely refused her offer. “No! I won’t fall for your tricks!”
Liu Mei shot him a flirtatious look. “Then just sit down by the pool; it’s uncomfortable for me to look up like this.”
Lin Fengmian thought for a moment; that didn’t seem unreasonable. He took off his shoes and socks and sat on the edge of the pool with his feet dangling in the water.
“Alright, you can say whatever you want now,” he said.
Liu Mei gently washed his feet with her small hands, her eyes filled with tears. “You are so heartless to leave me like this. Don’t you care at all?”
Lin Fengmian wasn’t intimidated by her emotional display; he was more concerned about her attempt to manipulate him. He firmly replied, “You should give up. I’m not going back to the Joyful Union Sect. Going back is a dead end for me.”
Liu Mei spoke softly to comfort him. “How can that be? I will protect you!”
Lin Fengmian scoffed, “Liu Mei, do you think I don’t know? I’m a target of the sect leader, can you really protect me?”
Feigning sadness, Liu Mei replied, “I may not know why the sect leader is looking for you, but you won’t die if you return. Trust me.”
“If you don’t go back, we’ll both be doomed. Little troublemaker, can you bear to see me die?”
Lin Fengmian nodded. “Even if I don’t want to, I have to be realistic!”
Liu Mei pouted and playfully slapped him. “You heartless person! After all, I’ve always been thinking about you!”
However, Lin Fengmian wasn’t convinced. He said softly, “You have no idea how terrifying it is to live day by day, not knowing if you’ll survive. I’m sorry.”
Liu Mei’s expression was complicated, but she finally nodded. “Good, I don’t want you to die either.”
Lin Fengmian was surprised at how agreeable she was and stared at her in astonishment. Finally, with a mix of emotions, he said, “Thank you, but I have to go now.”
