Chapter 80 Making A Deal

Lin Fan didn't know how to feel about this information.

He didn't know who had even won the egg in the first place since he hadn't stuck around for the end of the auction, but that didn't matter since even if he did, if he were to show up with the egg, there was no doubt that they would mistaken him as the thief.

However, Lin Fan also couldn't help thinking of something that had happened before…

That sudden affection notification, the surname had been Ye…But the name itself had been something different.

The name was Qing Huan and not Tian Xie.

Still, that name should have been related to the Ye Family since it was written with the same character…

Lin Fan was stuck in an internal debate until he received another report from the Gale Sparrow.

There were people that were approaching the cave where the Blaze Salamander's nest had been.

Since they were heading right towards it without any fear, it was clear that they should be the ones that had hidden the egg in the first place.

There was no turning back now, it was so or die…

So after bracing himself, Lin Fan came out of the bush that he had been hiding in and slowly approached the Ye Family group.

When he came closer though, he could feel the intense aura that came from the group. There was no mistaking it, this group was a group of elites from the Ye Family and they were all people familiar with killing.

Finally when he came close, there were several swords that were pointed at him as one of the guards asked, "Who are you and what do you want?"

Lin Fan let out a sigh of relief when he saw this.

At the very least, they weren't people who killed on sight. Otherwise, he certainly would have been in trouble.

Lin Fan raised his hands to show he meant no ill will before saying, "I wish to talk to Young Master Ye, I think that I have something that would interest him."

The guard who had spoken before gave a snort before raising his sword and saying, "How audacious! You dare address the young master so casually?"

But before he could swing his sword, there was a cold voice that came from behind him, "Stop."

It was one simple word, but all the guards were shocked when they heard this.

They couldn't help turning back and they saw that it was indeed Young Master Ye who had spoken. He had even taken a step forward to reveal himself.

The guards didn't dare delay after seeing this and immediately parted to create a path for Young Master Ye. However, they were still guards in the end, so they stayed close enough to Lin Fan to cut him down at any time.

Young Master Ye took a few steps forward until he was just a few steps away from Lin Fan, but he didn't say a thing when he stopped. All he did was look over Lin Fan with an inquisitive gaze, as if he was trying to figure him out.

Lin Fan also had his chance to take a good look at Young Master Ye at this time.

Back at the auction, he had only gotten a glimpse at Young Master Ye since he was peeking from his room.

Now that he gotten a good look at him, he only had one word to say.

Pretty!

It couldn't be considered handsome since Young Master Ye had quite the androgynous face. If one didn't know better, they would have thought that he was a young miss instead.

But of course, Lin Fan didn't dare say this out loud out of fear of offending him.

After a moment of being dazed, Lin Fan said, "Young ma…"

Before he could continue, Young Master Ye cut him off by saying, "If it isn't the little peeper from the auction. What do you want?"

Lin Fan was surprised when he heard this.

He had indeed peeked at Young Master Ye at the auction, but he never thought that Young Master Ye would notice him, let alone remember him.

But this wasn't the time to be dazed, after all, there were pursuers behind him.

So without wasting any time, Lin Fan took out the egg from the Pet Storage Space and presented it in front of himself as he said, "I wish to offer this to the young master."

This time, it was the Ye Family group's turn to be shocked.

All the guards revealed stunned looks as they looked at the egg in Lin Fan's hand. It was only Young Master Ye who narrowed his eyes to look at Lin Fan instead of the egg in his hands.

After a period of silence, Young Master Ye said with a faint smile, "What do you want in return?"

Lin Fan didn't hesitate as he said, "I don't desire anything, I just wish to offer this to Young Master Ye."

Young Master Ye narrowed his eyes to look at Lin Fan, but he didn't say anything. Instead he looked up and suddenly turned to look in the direction of the Blaze Salamander's nest.

After silently staring in that direction for a bit, he finally said, "So you want to use me as bait?"

As soon as he said this, all of the guards turned to look at Lin Fan with cold eyes. It was as if they were prepared to kill him at any second. The only thing that they were waiting for was an order from Young Master Ye.

Lin Fan felt a chill run down his spine, but he also knew that he couldn't back down now.

However, it wasn't as if there was much he could say in this situation, so all he could do was stand there with an awkward smile on his face.

At the same time, he was filled with admiration for Young Master Ye. It only took a single glance for him to see through all his plans.

Everyone was silent as they waited for Young Master Ye to speak. Lin Fan had revealed all his cards, so now the one to make the decision was Young Master Ye.

Young Master Ye's eyes sparkled as he looked at Lin Fan, as if he was thinking something special.

Finally he revealed a faint smile and said, "Alright, I'll agree to be your bait."

Once again, everyone revealed a look of shock when they heard this.

Their ice cold young master had actually compromised and agreed to be bait? This really was something that they had never seen before.

Young Master Ye didn't say anything else as he just nodded at one of the guards to take the egg from Lin Fan.

Ignoring the guard, Young Master Ye then said, "You don't know the value of the item that you're giving up. Otherwise I certainly wouldn't have agreed to your conditions."

Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile as he said, "Even if I did know, is there anything else I could have done?"

Young Master Ye just revealed a smile when he heard this.

He looked back in the direction of the Blaze Salamander's nest before saying, "You'd better leave now or it'll be too late for you to leave."

Lin Fan jolted when he heard this, but he didn't doubt it, so after handing the egg over, he immediately made his way to head back into the bush to run away.

However, he didn't know what possessed him, but he turned around to look at Ye Tian Xie and asked, "Do you know who Ye Qing Huan is?"

When Lin Fan said this, Ye Tian Xie immediately narrowed his eyes that had a cold look in them as he looked at Lin Fan. It was so cold that Lin Fan felt a chill run down his spine immediately.

With the way Ye Tian Xie was looking at him, he even felt like he would freeze at any moment.

Then Ye Tian Xie said in a voice that was ice cold, "How do you know that name?"

Lin Fan gave a gulp and hesitated a while before finally saying, "I just heard that name somewhere before…"

Ye Tian Xie continued staring at him with those ice cold eyes for a long time before finally deciding that Lin Fan really didn't know what that name meant. So he revealed a smile and said, "That's my little sister's name."

Lin Fan was taken aback and couldn't help saying "Oh", but then he quickly came back to his senses and said, "Then Young Master Ye, thank you for everything."

Ye Tian Xie just said with a smile, "It could even be said that I owe you a favour."

Lin Fan's foot stopped when he heard this and he turned to quickly wave his hand as he said, "I wouldn't dare!"

Ye Tian Xie's smile had a teasing tone to it as he asked, "Are you saying that you won't accept my gratitude?"

Lin Fan just revealed an awkward smile at this before saying, "Then Young Master Ye, if there is a chance, let's meet again." Of course, deep down in his mind, he had no intentions of seeing Ye Tian Xie ever again.

Ye Tian Xie gave a nod and said with a faint smile, "Un, let's meet again if there is a chance. I think that my little sister would definitely be interested in meeting you in the future."

Lin Fan didn't stay any longer as he ran off into the forest.

When he was gone, the guards couldn't help looking at each other before one of them asked, "Did the Ye Family have a young miss named Qing Huan before?"
