Chapter 349: Chapter 349: Matching Doors and Households

Yuan Ye's sudden appearance and his simple question instantly dispelled Yang Chen's surging killing intent. It made him abruptly realize something, furrowing his brow as he glanced at the panting Yang Lie.

Yang Lie also frowned and scrutinized Yuan Ye for a moment. "Are you..."

"I'm Yuan Ye! We've met when we were kids!" Yuan Ye pointed at himself with a hint of excitement, but the current situation suppressed any joy he might have felt. "You're my cousin, right?"

"Yeah, my mom is Yang Jieyu. No wonder you seemed familiar and somewhat resembled Uncle. It's been so many years; I didn't recognize you at first," Yang Lie awkwardly turned to face Yang Chen. "Big brother, please, just give me this face. He's my cousin. Please don't kill him. He's clueless about you. He's had enough now."

Yang Chen's mind shook. Though his face showed little change, the killing intent within him had long been cleansed by Yang Lie's admission. A sense of sorrow and loneliness washed over him, chilling him to the core.

Even without overthinking it, Yang Chen understood why he had felt such an instinctive, peculiar emotion upon seeing this young man earlier.

Casting a complex glance at the fallen and resentful Yang Lie, Yang Chen then looked at the wary elder. He sighed heavily. "Let's go. For the sake of my little brother, I won't kill you."

Yang Chen's release surprised Cai Ning nearby. She knew how ruthless he could be. That Yuan Ye could actually intervene and stop Yang Chen from killing someone? That was highly unusual!

But Yang Lie didn't have to die. Cai Ning felt relieved. After all, compared to the Yang family, the Cai family was much weaker. If anything happened to Yang Lie in Zhonghai, especially since she had brought him here, the Cai family would undoubtedly suffer the consequences. They would have nowhere to cry for justice.

The elder narrowed his eyes slightly, slightly surprised at how quickly Yang Chen's killing intent had dissipated. But since there was no need to duel with Yang Chen, he felt greatly relieved. He simply regarded Yang Chen's leniency as an act of kindness and clasped his hands. "Kunlun Yujizi thanks little brother for sparing them."

With that, Yujizi turned and helped the severely incapacitated Yang Lie to his feet before leaping away from the villa area. His lightness skill was indeed unparalleled. Even if Yang Chen pursued in mid-air, he might not win. If Yujizi didn't save Yang Lie and simply escaped, Yang Chen wouldn't have been able to stop him. Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

In an instant, even with a person in tow, Yujizi disappeared.

Cai Ning glanced quietly at Yang Chen, nodded, and said, "Thank you," then left the scene as well.

Huilin was taken aback by Lin Ruoxi's leniency. She hadn't expected Lin Ruoxi to let her off so easily and even changed the subject for her.

But what about the fact that she was posing as "Lin Hui"? Wasn't Lin Ruoxi going to ask about that?

Regardless of the reason, Huilin immediately nodded and hurried to the kitchen.

Yuan Ye didn't feel compelled to press for answers. If someone didn't want to talk, especially when it didn't concern a woman he liked, he was disinclined to pry.

In the kitchen, while helping Wang Ma with washing and chopping vegetables, Huilin found her mind constantly drifting to the living room outside. She couldn't understand what Lin Ruoxi was thinking. With her intelligence, she surely wouldn't overlook the issue. Moreover, the look Lin Ruoxi had given her earlier indicated that she knew something.

Damn that Yang Lie!

As it turned out, Huilin's sect, Emei Shu Mountain, had historical ties with Kunlun, Yang Lie's sect. Moreover, there were some connections between the Lin family where Huilin belonged and the Yang family, albeit not as prominent as the Yangs.

When Yang Lie first saw Huilin, he was young and immediately smitten. He had always arrogantly assumed that Huilin would inevitably become his wife. However, Huilin, despite her exceptional talent and prestigious background as a disciple of a formidable master, did not like Yang Lie's brash and domineering attitude, which led to the scene just now.

While Huilin busied herself in the kitchen, lost in her thoughts, Lin Ruoxi, after chatting with Yuan Ye and the others for a while, came into the kitchen to fetch some snacks for the guests.

Upon seeing Lin Ruoxi, Huilin immediately wanted to explain, "Sister, I actually..."

"No need to say anything," Lin Ruoxi glanced at her silently. "You don't need to say anything. I know nothing, and you are Yang Chen's cousin and my cousin, right?"

Seeing the restrained emotion in Lin Ruoxi's eyes, Huilin suddenly felt a pang in her heart. She bit her lip and nodded reluctantly, "Yes..."

Lin Ruoxi forced a smile, took the snacks, and left the kitchen.

Huilin stood there in a daze, unable to calm down no matter what. Her eyes were slightly red, but she held back her tears.
