Ye Longlin rolled his eyes, not wanting to argue with him.
He certainly wouldn't forget the time his senior sister took her to the academy, when his senior sister had a conflict with an elder from the Xu family. One believed Confucius should be refined and gentle, while the other believed Confucius should be muscular and carve virtues onto bricks, thus convincing with virtue.
After all, the sage was from Lu province.
After three days of debate, his senior sister found a brick, carved virtue onto it, and convinced the elder with virtue. Later, that Xu family elder was conquered by the word "virtue."
"Alright, I know your stubborn temperaments. Tell me what's going on, but don't take too long, I have other matters to attend to."
Ye Longlin said, pouring each of them a cup of tea and looking at Fang Cunxin, "Sit down and talk."
Fang Cunxin looked up, her eyes shining with hope, "Can, can I?"
Ye Longlin looked playfully at Xu Dengkui, then nodded.
Xu Dengkui's face was awkward, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"It's like this, this girl is from the Fang family..."
What needed to be known, Xu Dengkui knew, so he simplified the matter on behalf of Fang Cunxin. In the end, it was Ye Jian who fancied her, failed to force himself upon her, killed her entire family, and framed them to save his own life.
After listening, a sense of shared misfortune seemed to rise in Ye Longlin's eyes, but it quickly dissipated.
"You know the Fang family was wronged, and you are powerless, so you brought her to me, hoping I would settle the matter."
Ye Longlin tapped the table. Xu Dengkui was awkward, "Yes, as you know, this case has been closed. The Dragon Investigation Bureau values evidence, and the evidence formed a complete chain, so the case had to be closed. Moreover, for such a major incident, I am not qualified to reopen it."
This was one of the inconveniences of being within the system. He knew the truth, but he couldn't reveal it. If he did, he might not even be able to protect himself.
Fang Cunxin stood up from her chair and knelt on the ground, "I beg Mr. Ye to do justice for the thirteen lives of my Fang family. Cunxin is willing to follow you by your side for life and serve you."
Ye Longlin looked at Fang Cunxin, supporting his chin with one hand, and holding a cigarette in the other, a smile on his lips.
"The Ye family, whether the main branch or the collateral branches, is very overbearing."
He said this in a low voice and then looked at Fang Cunxin sternly, "Are you willing to take me as your master?"
Fang Cunxin trembled all over and suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Quick, kowtow and become my disciple!" Xu Dengkui's jaw also dropped. He subconsciously looked at Fang Cunxin, his eyes filled with shock.
This... this aptitude...
"I knew I should have checked her aptitude. If I had known she had such aptitude, I would have tried to take her as a disciple even if it meant involving my family!"
Xu Dengkui gritted his teeth and said in his heart, but now that the words had been spoken, if he said anything more... he would not only offend someone, but he would also offend this Five-Star Heavenly King!
"I am willing, I am willing, Cunxin is willing, greetings, Master."
On the surface, Xu Dengkui said calmly with a smile, "Congratulations to Mr. Ye for gaining a beloved disciple. With Mr. Ye's status, why not hold a formal ceremony?"
At this moment, he wanted to curse. Such excellent aptitude, and he had missed it.
Ye Longlin looked at him with a half-smile, "What does it have to do with you? Give me the Fang family's information."
After Xu Dengkui gave him the USB drive and said something, he left soon after.
Watching Xu Dengkui leave, Ye Longlin narrowed his eyes.
"The Ye family is powerful in South Province. Even a mere collateral branch, Ye Zhuo, acts without scruples, and the confidence comes from his brother. As for what level his brother has reached, no one knows."
This was the warning he left, and it was also meant to alert Ye Longlin to be wary of the Ye family's collateral branches.
"Let's go."
Ye Longlin came down with Fang Cunxin, causing Lin Tian'ai, Mu Hanqi, and Diana to cast hostile glances.
Fang Cunxin shrunk behind Ye Longlin fearfully, revealing half of her head, curiously looking at the people inside.
"This is my disciple, Fang Cunxin, sixteen years old."
Ye Longlin had nothing to explain to them and said lightly.
Yuan Gang and Xuan Niao were stunned and became even more curious.
"Congratulations, Sir, for gaining a beloved disciple."
"Congratulations, Sir, for gaining a beloved disciple."
Wang Xiulan and Mu Ye said repeatedly, a hint of envy in their voices.
This was a meteoric rise. To become Ye Longlin's disciple meant that even in the capital, no one dared to refuse him.
To put it bluntly, in the capital, who dared to disrespect Ye Longlin?
"Xuan Niao, you will guide and teach her during this period. Her aptitude is good. Come back when she reaches the Dark Energy realm."
Ye Longlin said slowly.
"Yes."
"Prepare the car. We'll go to the mall first to pick out some clothes for Cunxin."
Fang Cunxin looked dishevelled and dirty, her eyes filled with fear.
After experiencing such an ordeal, it was already remarkable that she could still trust people.
"It's okay, you can live here peacefully from now on. Master will avenge you."
Ye Longlin smiled and patted her small head. Meeting such a young girl with good aptitude also made him happy.
Great Xia valued inheritance the most, not martial arts or secret manuals, but spirit!
That indestructible spirit, that spirit of facing death as if returning home, that iron-blooded spirit.
"Okay, Master." Fang Cunxin nodded obediently.
At sixteen, she was already past the age for practicing martial arts. Even with him as her guide, it was uncertain how far Fang Cunxin would go, but her aptitude was indeed good.
Three cars drove out of the community. Lin Tian'ai and Mu Hanqi took Fang Cunxin to the mall to buy clothes, and then headed to the symposium.
Fang Cunxin was a beautiful embryo, no wonder she attracted Ye Jian's attention. After changing into new clothes, she looked like a young girl completely detached from the world.
"Mas, Master."
Fang Cunxin looked hesitantly at Ye Longlin, her small hands tightly gripping her clothes, looking at him pitifully.
Ye Longlin was speechless, "Come up."
Despite the short time they had spent together, he could already discern Fang Cunxin's personality. She was soft and yielding, but once she decided on something, she was very stubborn.
"Oh."
......
The symposium was held in a teahouse, which was also the most high-end teahouse in Star City.
After the tea masters prepared everything, they left. They knew it was inconvenient for them to be here; some things were not for them to hear, or rather, their company people had sent them here specifically to receive guests.
Mu Hanqi's role as a secretary came into play. She had studied before and was quite familiar with this place. The Mu Group was hers, but now it had also benefited Ye Longlin.
"Does Yuanzhan Capital really think they can suppress us? What a joke. Yuanzhan Capital should be begging us now. We control Star City's resources. If they want to survive in Star City, they can't do without us!"
"I'm different from you. I'm curious about who this mysterious CEO is. From beginning to end, this mysterious CEO has been the most enigmatic figure in the business world. No one knows who he is. Even Wang Xiulan and Mu Ye don't hold much stock."
"We'll know soon. They will be here."
