C17 Treating the Symptoms but Not the Root

"You caused second young lady of the Lin Family to fall into the water twice. The second time, you even caused Lin Changdong to fall into the water as well. Everyone was fooled by you. This is truly admirable. " Ye Qixuan looked straight at Lin Xuemo. There was a faint smile in his eyes.

Ye Qixuan saw it all!

Lin Xuemo was shocked. She tried to calm down, but she knew that she could not control her emotions now.

Not long ago, Ye Qixuan and Lin Xuemo had reached the stage of discussing marriage. However, from the day Lin Xuemo met Ye Qixuan, Lin Xuemo had concealed a lot of things from Ye Qixuan because of their different standpoints.

She could not be with Ye Qixuan. Lin Xuemo even used Ye Qixuan's trust to take the information she got from Ye Qixuan, which caused Ye Qixuan to suffer a lot of losses.

Until one day Lin Xuemo found out that she had to tell Ye Qixuan the truth. So she chose to leave without saying goodbye.

Lin Xuemo knew that Ye Qixuan had been inquiring about her whereabouts for the past few years, but she no longer had the face to see Ye Qixuan again.

Lin Xuemo did not regret what happened back then, but she still felt guilty towards Ye Qixuan. She did not know how to face Ye Qixuan.

"You are trembling. Do I look that scary?" Ye Qixuan narrowed his eyes.

Lin Xuemo immediately recognized him. This was not surprising to Ye Qixuan, but Lin Xuemo's reaction made Ye Qixuan feel that it was very interesting.

"King Qi is wise and mighty. This is the first time I have seen you, so it is inevitable for me to be a little nervous. " Lin Xuemo squeezed out a smile.

At this time, her condition was much better than before. At least she did not stutter anymore.

Ye Qixuan wanted to speak.

He and Lin Xuemo turned around and looked in the direction of the entrance of the courtyard.

Both of them immediately noticed that someone was walking towards them.

Ye Qixuan reacted faster than Lin Xuemo.

Ye Qixuan moved and hid with Lin Xuemo on the big tree that he had been hiding earlier.

Just as the two of them hid, they saw Lin Yuanpeng and Madame Wei walking over shoulder to shoulder.

"Lin Xuetong is too mischievous. She is usually a little willful. Today is an important day," Lin Yuanpeng scolded Madame Wei as he walked. "Look at her. Not only did she miss the chance to meet King Qi, she also caused Changdong to fall into the water with her!"

In just a short while, the news of Lin Xuetong and Lin Changdong falling into the lake had spread throughout the entire Lin Mansion. Lin Xuemo believed that Lin Xueqing had played a big role in this.

"Don't be angry, I will teach her later. " Madame Wei said from the side.

"It's all because you spoiled her. Now she doesn't even know the severity of the matter. " Lin Yuanpeng scolded.

"This isn't a big deal. She just didn't show her face in front of King Qi today? Now that King Qi has a request for us, I believe that he will visit Lin Mansion many times in the future. At that time, are you afraid that your daughter won't have a chance? " Madame Wei repeatedly consoled him.

"What do you know as a woman? The Cold Cicada of Snowmountain is the greatest treasure of our Lin Mansion. Even if King Qi asks for it, he won't be able to easily lend it to us!"

"You didn't kill King Qi today, which means that we can still discuss it. As long as the conditions given by King Qi are good enough, a few Cold Cicada of Snowmountains is nothing. " Madame Wei was very clear about this matter. "Besides, he only borrowed it. It's not like he doesn't want to return it to our Lin Family. If we can get a favor from King Qi, It's a good thing that no one can ask for. "

Lin Yuanpeng snorted. Although he still had a cold expression on his face, he tacitly agreed with Madame Wei's words.

"You said that if King Qi marries Lin Xuetong and the Cold Cicada of Snowmountain is used as a dowry, will King Qi agree?" Madame Wei knew that she was right and her thoughts immediately became active.

"Stop dreaming here!" Lin Yuanpeng looked at Madame Wei speechlessly. "Who is King Qi? You also know how to say a few Cold Cicada of Snowmountains. The Cold Cicada of Snowmountains are the ultimate treasures of our Lin Mansion. We don't even know how many of them are in King Qi's hands. You actually expect to use these few Cold Cicada of Snowmountains as a bargaining chip to make him marry Tong?"

"I'm doing this for the sake of finding a good husband for Tong, right?" Madame Wei had a wronged expression, "I also don't know what King Qi wants these Cold Cicada of Snowmountains for?"

"The Cold Cicada of Snowmountain is extremely cold and can resist most of the poisonous things. I heard that King Qi sent people to Roaring Flame Peak a while ago. Cultivators could not step foot in that place. It must be that something happened to King Qi's people there. That's why he wanted to borrow the Cold Cicada of Snowmountain from our Lin Mansion to cure the poison. "

"So that's what happened. " Madame Wei came to a sudden realization and stopped walking. She looked at Lin Yuanpeng and said, "Tong and Changdong both fell into the water. I'm worried about the two of them. "

"Then you go!" Lin Yuanpeng waved at Madame Wei. "Borrowing Cold Cicada of Snowmountains is a big matter. I have to discuss it with my father. "

Lin Yuanpeng and Madame Wei walked to each side and soon disappeared from Lin Xuemo and Ye Qixuan's sight.

On the big tree.

Ye Qixuan grabbed Lin Xuemo's shoulder to prevent her from stepping on air and falling to the ground.

Originally, Ye Qixuan was worried that Lin Xuemo would make a sound and wanted to cover her mouth as well.

However, when Ye Qixuan reached the tree, he discovered that Lin Xuemo had already consciously hidden her aura from the moment she hid well.

Hiding one's aura did not mean that one did not breathe. Instead, it meant that one's connection with the outside world was sealed.

This could only be done by a person with a slightly higher cultivation base. The only difference was the degree of perfection and time one could hide. The lower one's cultivation base, the shorter the time it would take to seal off one's connection with the outside world, and the less effective it would be. Moreover, it was very easy for those with a higher cultivation base to detect it.

Lin Xuemo was an ordinary person without any cultivation base. Ye Qixuan knew this from the first time he saw Lin Xuemo.

Lin Xuemo did not have any cultivation base, so she naturally would not use a practitioner's method to hide her aura. Her method was very unique. She merged with the surrounding environment.

Ye Qixuan looked at Lin Xuemo in surprise.

Lin Xuemo, on the other hand, looked at the distant Lin Yuanpeng. After a while, she muttered to herself.

"So you came to Lin Mansion for the Cold Cicada of Snowmountain. If the person you want to help is now completely red and his skin is festering bit by bit, I think that even if you borrow the Cold Cicada of Snowmountain, you can only cure the symptoms but not the root of the problem. What you need now is the Frost Buddha Leaf in Fallen Dragon Ice Cave. "

Just as Lin Xuemo finished speaking, Ye Qixuan's aura suddenly became fierce.

Ye Qixuan grabbed Lin Xuemo's hand and said coldly, "What Frost Buddha Leaf? How do you know that the person I want to save is red all over and his skin is festering!"
