“Oh? You don’t believe me?”
Ye Lin put down his teacup, his Aura burst forth, and in an instant, he retracted it.
Wang Qing, who was in front of him, was already prostrate on the ground, cold sweat streaming down his back.
In that instant, he felt as if he had seen his great-grandfather.
“Do you believe me now?”
“I believe you, I believe you.”
Hearing this, Wang Qing stood up in a panic, nodding repeatedly.
He was at the Foundation Establishment Peak; only a Golden Core Stage powerhouse could make him feel a death crisis in an instant.
Therefore, the young man in front of him was a Golden Core Stage powerhouse.
If a Golden Core Stage powerhouse was willing to help, even the Zhao Family and the Long Family would have to think twice.
“Senior is willing to help my Wang Family, and my Wang Family is naturally grateful beyond measure, but Senior, is there anything my Wang Family can do for you?”
Wang Qing looked at Ye Lin, asking cautiously.
There was no such thing as a free lunch.
He didn't believe Ye Lin was simply helping the Wang Family; if that were true, this world would be a world full of love.
“It’s simple. Give me the stone tablet from your Wang Family, and I will help your Wang Family overcome this difficulty.”
After Ye Lin finished speaking, Wang Qing looked hesitant.
The Zhao Family and the Long Family came for the stone tablet, and the young man in front of him also came for the stone tablet.
“Senior, I cannot make this decision. I must consult my father. Please rest for a moment, Junior will be back shortly.”
“Go.”
Ye Lin waved his hand and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Wang Qing no longer hesitated and turned to leave.
Looking at Wang Qing’s back, Ye Lin hoped that the Wang Family’s old master would be sensible.
If he wasn't willing, then he would only be able to seize it by force.
He was not a murderous person; he was unwilling to forcefully take someone else's treasure when they had no grievances or enmity with him.
Moreover, doing so, how was it any different from a demon? Using any means for profit was the standard for demonic cultivators.
And he acted only to have a clear conscience.
Where his heart led, he would go.
He acted according to one principle: if you had no conflict of interest with him, he would give you a choice.
But if you touched his interests, then he was sorry, you had to die.
After a while, Wang Qing came before Ye Lin.
“Senior, my father said that as long as Senior can help my Wang Family overcome this crisis, my Wang Family will present the stone tablet with both hands.”
“A wise choice.”
Hearing this, Ye Lin smiled.
Wang Qing, on the other hand, looked helpless; he had already seen the pros and cons of this situation.
They couldn't refuse; once they refused, what awaited their Wang Family was premature demise.
Furthermore, the Wang Family's old master not only failed to comprehend any peerless divine art from the stone tablet but also severely injured himself.
Keeping it would only hasten their demise; it was better to give it away.
Everyone understood the principle that one was innocent, but possessing a treasure made one guilty.
“Senior, according to our information, the Long Family and the Zhao Family will attack my Wang Family tonight. Does Senior need to prepare?”
“My Wang Family still has one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones that Senior can absorb.”
Wang Qing said cautiously. There was no other way; ever since the Wang Family’s old master was injured, their Wang Family’s assets had been shrinking.
Their original ore mines had also been taken by the other two Families.
This was why a Family with a Golden Core Stage powerhouse could only produce a pitiful one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
“No need for such trouble. I will just wait for them here.”
Seeing Ye Lin so confident, Wang Qing’s hanging heart gradually settled, but he was still extremely anxious internally.
After all, those were two Golden Core Stage powerhouses.
Just like that, Wang Qing watched the seated Ye Lin, pacing back and forth in the main hall with immense trepidation.
At this moment, the fate of the Wang Family rested with the young man before him.
“Father, I’ve found outside help! The crisis of our Wang Family is nothing to fear, Father!”
Just then, outside the door, a young man appeared, full of excitement, and behind him followed an old man.
The old man walked into the main hall calmly and unhurriedly.
“Father, look, this is the Senior I invited, one of the five Grand Elders of the Shan Hai Sect, the Third Elder Su Zeduan.”
The young man looked at Wang Qing with excitement.
The old man, called Su Zeduan, glanced at Ye Lin, then sat down at the head of the main hall without a care.
“Hong’er, is this person you invited truly one of the five Grand Elders of the Shan Hai Sect?”
Hearing this, Wang Qing’s expression changed in surprise.
The Shan Hai Sect was the dominant Sect within a hundred thousand miles of their area, the leader.
The Sect had a top-tier Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse overseeing it, and under it were five Grand Elders. These five Grand Elders were all Golden Core Stage cultivators, immensely powerful.
“Of course! After my repeated pleas, Elder Su finally agreed to help my Wang Family, but the price is our Wang Family’s stone tablet.”
After Wang Hong finished speaking, he finally looked at Ye Lin.
“Father, this is…”
“This is the Senior who will help my Wang Family overcome this difficulty.”
“Senior?”
Hearing this, Wang Hong frowned. The young man in front of him was about the same age as himself, yet his father called him Senior?
He was probably some kind of swindler from somewhere, right?
“Father, is he also here for our Wang Family’s stone tablet?”
After Wang Hong spoke, Wang Qing nodded faintly.
This scene was observed by Su Zeduan from above, who waved his hand and snorted coldly.
“Hmph, if it weren’t for your son’s persistent pleas for me to help, I wouldn’t have come down the mountain. And now, since you’ve already found someone else, and still ask for my help, isn’t this playing a trick on me?”
“Today, if your Wang Family doesn’t give me an explanation, this matter won’t pass so easily.”
Su Zeduan said angrily.
“Senior, please calm your anger, Senior, please calm your anger! I’ll tell my father to kick him out right away.”
Seeing the enraged expression of Elder Su, whom he had painstakingly invited, Wang Hong hurriedly said.
Then he looked at Ye Lin.
“Brother, my father is old, and with such a major event happening now, he’s bound to be desperate. I won’t blame you. Now, quickly leave.”
Wang Hong frowned as he looked at Ye Lin.
“Presumptuous!”
Seeing Wang Hong act this way, Wang Qing roared in anger.
Ye Lin’s strength was that of a genuine Golden Core Stage powerhouse. If Wang Hong truly angered Ye Lin, then he would probably be in deep trouble.
“Father.”
Wang Hong turned to look at Wang Qing.
Wang Qing didn’t know what to do for a moment.
He never expected his son to do such a big thing behind his back, which made him both relieved and troubled.
On one side was an Elder from the Shan Hai Sect, and on the other side was an unknown Golden Core Stage powerhouse.
They couldn't afford to offend either of them.
“You two, please sit here for now. Whoever can resolve the crisis of my Wang Family, then the stone tablet of my Wang Family will be theirs. How about that?”
At this moment, an old man walked in from outside the door. The old man was hunched over, his Qi extremely weak, and his body was permeated with Death Qi.
Anyone could see that he was a person on the verge of death.
However, the faint Golden Core Stage Aura on his body was genuine.
“I have no objection.”
Ye Lin said.
Anyway, in the end, the stone tablet would definitely be his.
“Since the Wang Family’s old master has spoken personally, this old man has no objection either.”
Su Zeduan, who was above, nodded faintly upon seeing this.
The Wang Family’s old master, in his prime, had the terrifying cultivation of the Golden Core Stage Middle Stage, and what about him? He was only in the Golden Core Stage Early Stage.
He still had to give this much Face.
