Lin Xiao didn't think that there would be a secret room in the CEO's office.

The secretary pressed a button and the bookshelves separated, revealing a secret chamber. Inside the secret chamber, there was a pool of water. The surface of the water was sparkling, giving off an ethereal feeling.

"This is the secret passage the eldest miss used to get in and out of the clan. Although there are other ways to get into the Water Mansion, those places are guarded by guards. You are not a member of the Water Manipulation Clan, and you don't have the token of the Water Manipulation Clan, so you cannot enter."

This pool of water was a passageway. If one directly jumped into it, they would be able to enter the Water Mansion's territory. Lin Xiao circled the pond and asked, "Where does this passageway lead to?"

"Eldest Miss's room."

"Ye Qing has been placed under house arrest in his own room, right?"

"Yes."

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes, carefully sizing up the secretary. This logic couldn't be explained, right?

"I know what you want to say. Entering the tunnel requires spirit essence. The young miss might as well seal her spirit essence. Since she can't use spirit essence, she naturally can't enter the tunnel to come back."

"Ye Wentian is really infuriating."

Lin Xiao was infuriated. He bid farewell to his secretary and jumped into the passageway.

He only felt that his body was sinking in the water, like a bottomless pit.

Was it an illusion?

Lin Xiao thought of the scene in the world of water. He closed his eyes to calm his heart, forgetting that his body was in the water. After a long time, he opened his eyes again.

He floated within an empty tunnel, just like a passageway under the sea. Outside the passageway that was made out of a cylinder was an endless void, without a end in sight.

Indeed, only by circulating spirit essence would one be able to move forward in the passageway. Without spirit essence, it was impossible for one to move within the passageway.

Lin Xiao was at the end of the passage. It seemed that the other end of the passage was the Water Controlling Clan.

He started circulating his spirit energy and rapidly moved through the passageway.

In the Yu Shui clan, there was a manor under guard. It was so heavily guarded that even mosquitos couldn't fly in.

This was Ye Qing's room. She was locked up by her big brother and had sent many people to guard her. Even her demon essence was sealed.

Right now, she was just like an ordinary person. Other than protesting with a hunger strike, there was nothing she could do.

In the end, she was so hungry that she had no choice but to finish the food. With her demon essence sealed, she couldn't rely on the spiritual energy to replenish the energy in her body. Naturally, she felt hungry.

At this moment, Ye Qing was bathing in her room. Her entire body was immersed in the wooden bucket, only part of her nose was above the surface of the water.

That's right, now that her demonic essence was sealed, she might even drown in the water.

"Damned big brother, why do you look down on Lin Xiao so much? He's also one of the top hundred experts of the Sky Demon Region, how is he without any status?"

Ye Qing grumbled under his breath as his words turned into bubbles.

"How much longer am I going to be locked up? I want to see Lin Xiao."

Ye Qing weakly snorted as her phone was taken away by Ye Wentian, making it impossible for her to even chat with Lin Xiao. Right now, it was as though three years had passed since she had last seen Lin Xiao.

Suddenly, the spirit energy in the room began to fluctuate, and it became more and more intense. Ye Qing felt that something was wrong, this situation seemed to be … Someone had teleported through her secret passage.

Her heart was thrown into chaos. If she teleported here at this time, would she still have the face to see anyone?

She started to get up to change, but it was too late. A heavy figure pressed her down and pushed her back into the water.

"Ugh …"

When Lin Xiao came back to his senses, he discovered that he was sitting in a bucket filled with water. Ye Qing had both his hands in front of his chest as he looked at him with a face full of fear.

There was no joy in meeting each other again, only the awkward atmosphere that filled the room.

"Morning... "Morning, the weather is really good today."

Lin Xiao smiled awkwardly. How could he have known that he would fall into the bathtub as soon as he was teleported over? And the most awkward part was that Ye Qing was bathing.

Ye Qing's face was flushed all the way down to his neck. He looked like a cooked crab, and his drenched hair was still steaming.

"Lin Xiao, go die!"

If it wasn't for the fact that she was afraid that the people outside the house would discover that something was wrong, she would have shouted out a long time ago. Now, she could only lower her voice.

"Cough cough, what's there to be afraid of? It's not like we've never met before."

Lin Xiao stroked his chin without a single blush. His eyes were filled with aggression as he sized up Ye Qing's body. He realized that it had been a long time since he last saw Ye Qing, and his body had improved once again.

"Get out of here, I want to get dressed."

Lin Xiao estimated that if he continued to tease Ye Qing, the latter would really go on a rampage. He hastily jumped out of the water bucket and used the Water from the Netherworld Flame to evaporate his body.

However, what made Ye Qing angry was that Lin Xiao was still looking at her. It was unknown whether he was doing it on purpose or not.

Shouldn't a man with a change of clothes turn his back?

In the end, under Lin Xiao's naked eyes, Ye Qing blushed and changed her clothes. That expression was full of grievance.

After putting on her clothes, Ye Qing sat in front of the table with her long, wet hair. She unhappily watched Lin Xiao leisurely drink her tea.

"What are you doing here?"

Lin Xiao spread out his hands and asked, "I came to see you when I missed you, what else could I have done?"

Lin Xiao's straightforward words caused Ye Qing's face to turn even redder. His heart felt warm, but he still humphed, "You heartless fellow, only now do you know that you're looking for me."

Lin Xiao looked at the stubborn Ye Qing, the corners of his mouth revealing a smile. His face was clearly filled with happiness, but his tone was still rather unpleasant.

However, when it came to flirting and scolding, Lin Xiao didn't forget her purpose in coming.

"What's going on with you? How long is that bastard Ye Wentian going to keep you under house arrest?"

Ye Qing rolled her eyes at him. She actually dared to call her elder brother a bastard in front of her little sister.

"I don't know what Big Bro is thinking. He arranged for someone else to take care of the company's matters, but I'm not allowed to leave anyway."

At this point, Ye Qing slumped onto the table with a depressed look on her face. Every night before she fell asleep, her elder brother would visit her and she would take this opportunity to tell Ye Wentian that she and Lin Xiao were truly in love with each other. However, Ye Wentian remained unmoved.

"Then what do we do? How about I take you away?"

Since Ye Wentian couldn't make sense of the situation, he might as well take Ye Qing and leave. If Ye Wentian dared to go and cause trouble for him, as long as he made Lin Xuan howl, he would not be arrogant at all.

Lin Xiao shamelessly used her little sister as a shield. Even though Yu Shui was from a large clan, it was still nothing in front of a dragon clan.

"No, I don't want to get into an awkward situation with big brother. She did it for my own good, and was afraid that I would feel wronged if I didn't do anything to her."

As Ye Qing narrated how Lin Xiao's complexion had become somewhat ugly, he realized that his words were incorrect and hurriedly changed his words.

"No, no, I didn't mean that. I meant that he was afraid that things would turn out like this. I didn't think that you were some ordinary person. Even if you were, I would not regret following you. "Ah, that doesn't seem right …"

Ye Qing also didn't know what was wrong with him, he couldn't explain himself clearly with a few words. In the end, he just stopped explaining and lowered his head dejectedly.

In the next second, she was hugged by a pair of warm and wide arms. Lin Xiao's broad chest allowed her restless heart to calm down.

"You don't need to explain, I understand what you mean. Rest assured, you are my, Lin Xiao's, woman, and I will not abandon you."
