Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

"Young Master Yao, are you really not planning to send someone to keep an eye on Lin Yaoxie?" one of his men asked.

Ayao plucked a petal.

After a while, he said, "Lin Yaoxie is currently at the Qi family's residence... The Qi family is always heavily guarded. If he discovers that our people are spying on them, wouldn't that be very embarrassing? Even if that's the case, the Qi family might cause us trouble."

The subordinate thought for a moment, then replied, "So we're just going to wait here, without knowing what Master Qi wants with Lin Yaoxie?"

Ayao placed the flower petals in her hand into the air, letting them drift away with the wind.

"Alright, I know what I'm doing. You can go back to your work on 317 now," Ayao said.

Actually, he was quite nervous inside.

If the Qi family cooperates with Lin Yaoxie, he might lose his position in the Green Altar...

However, Ayao wondered if Lin Yaoxie, with his personality, would cooperate with the Qi family.

A few more days passed. Lin Yaoxie was enjoying good food and drink at the Qi family's house. Everyone treated Lin Yaoxie very well.

Lin Yaoxie initially thought that Master Qi would secretly harm him because he refused to cooperate with the Qi family, but now it seems that Lin Yaoxie was just overthinking things.

The Qi family had no intention of harming him at all. This made Lin Yaoxie lower his guard.

Lin Yaoxie thought to himself, "This Master Qi is indeed Master Qi, going to such lengths to please me. This tactic is quite effective."

"Young Master Lin..." Suddenly, a eunuch's voice came from outside the door.

Lin Yaoxie got up and opened the door.

"Young Master Lin, our master would like to invite you to the pavilion in the courtyard to catch up," the eunuch said.

"Alright, I've been really bored lately anyway. I don't need you to lead the way, I know the way myself." Lin Yaoxie said and walked out.

“Young Master Lin, please…” the eunuch said.

Lin Yaoxie went straight into the courtyard, and then he saw that there was more than just Master Qi there. There was also a very beautiful young woman.

"Young Master Lin has arrived." Old Master Qi stood up and said with a smile.

Lin Yaoxie sat down.

"Young Master Lin, let me introduce you. This is my youngest daughter, the eldest daughter of my family. Her name is Xiaoxue," Master Qi introduced, then turned to his daughter and said, "Xiaoxue, quickly greet Young Master Lin."

Xiaoxue stood up and bowed to Lin Yaoxie.

"Xiaoxue greets Young Master Lin," Xiaoxue said softly, then glanced shyly at Lin Yaoxie.

She was very unwilling when Master Qi asked her to curry favor with Lin Yaoxie. If she hadn't begged Master Qi to threaten her into coming, she wouldn't have come at all.

But when she saw Lin Yaoxie's appearance and temperament, she suddenly felt grateful to her father, Master Qi.

"Miss Xiaoxue, there's no need for such formalities," Lin Yaoxie said.

"I've been quite busy these past few days, so I haven't had time to spend with Young Master Lin. That's my fault, so now that my daughter has just returned, I thought I'd let her keep Young Master Lin company," Master Qi said with a smile.

"This...won't that be too much trouble for Miss Xiaoxue?" Lin Yaoxie said, then glanced at Xiaoxue, whose face was flushed.

He thought to himself, "It would be nice to have such a beautiful person accompany me for a walk."

“No trouble at all. Xiaoxue is happy to accompany you, young master,” Xiaoxue said immediately.

Grandpa Qi smiled even more broadly.

Lin Yaoxie knew such an obvious intention. The Qi family simply wanted to force this eldest daughter of the Qi family onto him and then make him cooperate with the Qi family.

"Oh, right, I suddenly remembered I still have some things to take care of. You two continue chatting, I'll have to excuse myself now," Master Qi said, standing up.

"Since Master Qi is busy, he should go and finish his business first, so as not to delay things," Lin Yaoxie said.

Master Qi left quickly.

Now there are only two people left in the pavilion.

"By the way, the flowers in the Qi family's backyard are in bloom. How about I accompany you, young master, to admire them?" Xiaoxue said.

“Your Qi family has so many courtyards. Then please lead the way, Miss Xiaoxue,” Lin Yaoxie said.

So Xiaoxue led him to a courtyard.

There are many large trees in this yard, and they are now in bloom.

A petal landed on Lin Yaoxie's shoulder.

Suddenly, Xiaoxue stepped forward, reached out and removed the flower petals from Lin Yaoxie's shoulder, then looked at him with a deep affection.

Then, Xiaoxue suddenly slipped and was about to fall to the ground.

Lin Yaoxie quickly hugged her. He thought to himself, "This woman is quite the actress."

Lin Yaoxie doesn't like girls who can act at all.

"Thank you for saving me, Young Master Lin," Xiaoxue said, her face flushed.

“I’ve lived in your Qi family for so long, and your Qi family has always treated me very well. So, helping Miss Xiaoxue with this little favor is nothing, and I hope Miss Xiaoxue won’t take it to heart.” After saying this, Lin Yaoxie walked forward.

This place is quite a sight to behold.

Lin Yaoxie liked the courtyard very much, but it seemed out of place in the Qi family's home.

Lin Yaoxie understood the Qi family's character and way of doing things quite well. In short, they were ruthless.

The scenery here looks so gentle that Lin Yaoxie said this courtyard is out of place with the Qi family.

Xiaoxue quickly walked to Lin Yaoxie's side.

"Xiaoxue has something to ask you, young master, but she doesn't know if you mind," Xiaoxue said.

"Miss Xiaoxue, please speak freely," Lin Yaoxie replied.

"Does the young master have a girl he likes?" Xiaoxue asked.

Lin Yaoxie glanced back at Xiaoxue, then said in a jokingly apologetic tone, "Could it be that Miss Xiaoxue has taken a fancy to me?" Xiaoxue lowered her head, not daring to look at Lin Yaoxie's expression.

Lin Yaoxie suddenly chuckled and said, "I was just joking with you, young lady. Please don't take it seriously." After saying that, Lin Yaoxie leaped onto a large tree and sat down.

Looking at Lin Yaoxie, Xiaoxue felt a deep sense of loss.

Chapter Twenty-Eight Serious

Lin Yaoxie had just told her it was just a joke, but Xiaoxue wasn't joking with him; she was very serious. Lin Yaoxie lay on the tree, then closed his eyes, enjoying all the beauty around him.

Xiaoxue gritted her teeth, thought for a moment, and finally walked to the tree.

She said, "Young Master Lin, I wasn't joking with you just now, I was serious. I fell in love with you at first sight, I'm completely devoted to you..." Lin Yaoxie opened his eyes in surprise and looked at Xiaoxue.

Although he already knew Xiaoxue's purpose, he was still somewhat surprised to hear her confess her feelings to him so frankly.

Lin Yaoxie jumped down from the tree and looked at Xiaoxue.

"I wonder if you would take a fancy to me, young master?" Xiaoxue said.

"Miss Xiaoxue is clever and beautiful. I'm afraid I'm not good enough for her," Lin Yaoxie said, then fanned himself with the fan in his hand.

"Young Master Lin is too kind. With such an outstanding individual as you, I wouldn't dare express my affections to you if I weren't the legitimate daughter of the Qi family," Xiaoxue said with a smile.

Lin Yaoxie thought for a moment and then put away his fan.

He looked at Xiaoxue very seriously and then said, "As for me, I don't want to get married for the time being. I just want to wander the world alone, after all, I am a person of the world."

"Young master, you've been wandering the martial world for so many years, haven't you ever thought about settling down and having a home?" Xiaoxue said again.

Lin Yaoxie knew very well that most people looked down on martial arts practitioners because they were homeless and could only survive by helping others with their tasks.

If Lin Yaoxie didn't have this evil sect under his command, the Qi family probably wouldn't even give him a second glance.

Lin Yaoxie saw that Xiaoxue was determined to win him over before she was satisfied.

"Miss Xiaoxue, I am truly unworthy of you. I was born of humble birth. Therefore, I fear we are destined to be apart." After saying this, Lin Yaoxie left.

He didn't want Xiaoxue to keep bothering him.

Lin Yaoxie had been puzzled before, as he had already made it clear he didn't want to cooperate with the Qi family, yet the Qi family had kept him around for so long. It turned out they were waiting for Xiaoxue to return so they could marry her off to him.

Lin Yaoxie wasn't buying it.

Xiaoxue watched sadly as Lin Yaoxie left.

She returned to her room.

"Miss... how are things going with that Young Master Lin?" a maid asked.

Xiaoxue got angry whenever the matter was brought up, and she glared at the maid with hatred.

Suddenly, Xiaoxue slapped the maid across the face.

"I think you're just a smart aleck and deserve a beating," Xiaoxue said angrily.

The maid then realized that she had said something she shouldn't have.

So she immediately knelt down in front of Xiaoxue.

"Miss, it's all my fault, please forgive me," the maid said.

"Alright, just get out of here. I don't want to see you," Xiaoxue said impatiently.

Xiaoxue sulked alone in her room all day.

"Lin Yaoxie! You damned Lin Yaoxie! What makes you think you can look down on me? There are plenty of men who want to marry me!"

At that moment, the door was opened.

Grandpa Qi walked in; he had heard Xiaoxue's complaints clearly.

"Xiaoxue said angrily.

“If Lin Yaoxie agreed to your request so easily, he wouldn’t be Lin Yaoxie,” said Old Master Qi as he sat down.

"Dad, what should I do now?" Xiaoxue asked coquettishly.

Master Qi glanced at his daughter and suddenly chuckled twice.

The smile was sinister, which startled Xiaoxue.

"Do you know what I did today? I went to buy you medicine," said Master Qi, then took out a bottle of medicine.

"Dad, why are you going to buy me medicine? I'm not sick," Xiaoxue said dismissively.

“Who said this medicine was for you? I meant for you to give to Lin Yaoxie,” Master Qi said again.
