After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 465 Godfather
She read through the accounts, which even Lin Yi himself dared not look at, in detail over and over again.

Hearing Lin Zhao stop speaking, Lin Yi felt a sense of despair: "There are so many?"

Lin Zhao smiled slightly: "This is only one-third; I haven't read the rest yet."

Lin Yi suddenly felt that it would be better for him to remain a nameless and emotionless assassin.

"But it's not a big deal, and it's not much."

Upon hearing Lin Zhao's words, Lin Yi asked, "Isn't this much enough? Little sister, are you planning to use the treasury of the Ancestral Phoenix Empire?"

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "I can still afford to pay back this amount of money."

Lin Yi felt he had a lot of money because he hadn't been in charge of a major power in recent years. A true leader of a first-rate power might not be able to easily come up with this much money, but he could certainly afford to pay it back after accumulating it for thousands or even hundreds of years.

As for using the treasury of the Ancestral Phoenix Empire, the situation is not actually that serious.

"Moreover, I have some spiritual herbs and medicines that you owed back then, and they are of a higher grade. They can be used to offset a lot of money."

For an eighth-level alchemist like Lin Zhao, the money Lin Yi owed was really not a big deal.

To put it bluntly, if Lin Zhao were to ruin a dozen or so batches of Grade 8 pills at this stage, it would be enough to cover the money Lin Yi owes.

But one thing is one thing, and another is another. Lin Zhao still gave Lin Yi a thumbs up for owing so much money, even though it was just a Nascent Soul cultivator.
As Lin Zhao returned the Heavenly Mirror to Lin Yi, he said, "I've taken leave from the Qin army, so I need to try to get back before my leave ends. Let's get things done quickly from now on. First, let's resolve your relationship with Panlong Tower, Second Brother. What are your requirements for Panlong Tower to withdraw?"

After learning of Lin Zhao's plan, Lin Yi shook his head, "I don't plan to leave Panlong Tower."

Panlong Tower was the faction he spent the longest time in the Ancestral Dragon Plane. There were many people and many unresolved issues within it.

Lin Yi cannot leave before these matters and people are properly resolved.

Lin Zhao knew her second brother's bad temper, so she didn't try to persuade him further: "Then let's leave it at that. Once things are settled here, I'll go with my second brother."

Lin Yi asked in confusion, "Why are you coming with me?"

"Didn't you want to become the master of the Panlong Pagoda?" Lin Zhao stretched and said, "I'll go see how to help you get the position."

Lin Yi frowned: "You know what, the election for the next tower master of our Panlong Tower is in seven days. I originally planned to wait until the next election a hundred years from now, but now that you're here, why not give it a try?"

If Lin Yi could obtain the position of Tower Master of Panlong Tower before taking action against the Ancestral Dragon Empire, he could leverage the power of Panlong Tower, the largest assassin organization, to make the already crumbling Qing Dynasty bleed a little.

After the two briefly agreed on this point, they led Xiao Bei out of the cave.

Ye Wei was discussing dragon cultivation techniques with Fan Chen, Zi Yue, and others. Of course, Ming Gui was mostly instructing Ye Wei, while the others occasionally offered pointers from the side.

Taking advantage of the time difference between the secret realm and the outside world, Ye Wei had already completed the Foundation Establishment during the time Lin Zhao was away. After all, once the bloodline of the dragon race was activated, her cultivation speed was far beyond what she had achieved before.

Seeing Xiao Bei in Lin Yi's arms, Ye Wei almost burst into tears. She quickly took Xiao Bei from Lin Yi's arms and frowned when she found that Xiao Bei was still unconscious: "What's wrong with Xiao Bei?"

"Oh, I used a sleeping spell."

It wasn't good for the child to have witnessed the fighting and killing, so when Lin Zhao first covered the child's eyes, she also put a sleeping talisman on Xiao Bei's body. After she peeled off the talisman, Xiao Bei opened his eyes groggily, saw Ye Wei, and called out "Mother" in a soft voice.

Upon seeing this, Lin Zhao subconsciously looked at Lin Yi.

After all, her second brother intended to raise this child as his own son. Now, the child has completely accepted Ye Wei as his mother…

Well... although emotionally, Lin Zhao naturally leans more towards her second brother, it still depends on who Xiao Bei herself prefers.

There's no doubt now that children are more inclined to side with the mother who raised them.

Noticing Lin Zhao's gaze, Lin Yi smiled, knowing what his sister was worried about. He shook his head and sighed, "It's also his good fortune."

This means they don't intend to keep Xiao Bei by their side.

Lin Zhao unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, she also felt that her second brother's current mindset and condition were not suitable for taking care of Xiao Bei, but he could still visit the child from time to time.

Ye Wei naturally noticed Lin Yi, who had been holding Xiao Bei and looking at her with a complicated expression.

Thinking of Lin Zhao's expression just now, Ye Wei's heart skipped a beat, and she began to doubt whether Lin Yi was Xiao Bei's biological father.

Even though she had raised the child for more than four years, it couldn't stop the child's biological father from coming.

"May I ask if you are Xiao Bei's biological father?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bei blinked her big eyes and looked at Lin Yi with a wistful expression.

Lin Yi smiled and shook his head: "I'm not."

Ye Wei thought Lin Yi was being considerate of her and that's why he hadn't told the truth, so she quickly said, "Xiao Bei has always known about her background."

Lin Zhao was somewhat surprised. She looked at the white ball in Ye Wei's arms.

The little white dumpling looked at her, then stretched out its little hand to Lin Zhao: "Sister, hug me."

Seeing such a soft and adorable little white dumpling reaching out its hand to him, even if it wasn't his biological nephew, Lin Zhao would want to recognize it as his nephew. He reached out and took Xiao Bei, asking, "Do you know your origins?"

Xiao Bei nodded and pointed at Ye Wei: "Mother said that Xiao Bei was not born to you. You found me in a Taoist temple."

Lin Zhao looked at Lin Yi, who coughed and said, "I left in a hurry and only had time to put the child in a safe place."

After saying that, Lin Yi looked at the kid with displeasure: "You brat, although I'm not your biological father, I know your biological father, and he owes me a lot of money."

Although he owed that money to others, would he have owed so much money if it weren't for protecting his brother's family and this kid?!
Therefore, he believes in the principle of "the son paying for the father's debts," and he is determined to make this kid support him in his old age!
Lin Zhao sighed, briefly explained Xiao Bei's background, and asked, "Would you like Uncle Lin Yi to be your godfather?"

Xiao Bei looked at Lin Yi for a while, then at Lin Zhao: "Is Uncle Lin Yi my sister's brother?"

Lin Zhao nodded.

She and Lin Yi actually share some similarities in facial features, especially in their temperament; both possess an otherworldly, ethereal quality.

Xiao Bei readily complied and obediently called out to Lin Yi, "Godfather."

Lin Yi pulled out his folding fan and tapped his little head with annoyance: "You call me sister and I sister, but you call me uncle? You little brat."
