Chapter 10: Lin Xue'er's Wisdom (Seeking Collection)

  "Mr. Chen, regarding Chen Li's identity, I will arrange for him as soon as possible. However, I hope the Chen family can keep their promise and not try to secretly help him. Once I discover any clues, there will be consequences, which I don't need to repeat again, do I?"

  Watching the Dongfang family's people leave, Lin Yuanshan and his group staying here had no meaning. Before standing up to leave, Lin Yuanshan glared at Chen Li with a fierce gaze and threatened Old Man Chen twice.

  "Lin Xianzhong, don't worry! Our family's Li will definitely use upright and aboveboard means to welcome your family's Xue into our Chen family! This little girl is both intelligent and kind-hearted, indeed the best candidate to be my granddaughter-in-law!"

  In the face of Lin Yuanshan's threat, Old Man Chen was not moved at all. Instead, he looked at Chen Li and Lin Xueer with a hint of approval in his eyes. Then, he cleverly gave Lin Yuanshan an answer, which made Lin Xueer blush and lower her head to secretly glance at the culprit who had ruined her innocence. However, unexpectedly, when she stole a glance at Chen Li, she met a pair of clear and bright eyes that were as deep as the night sky and as enchanting as gemstones. She lost herself in those eyes without realizing it.

  "Xue Er, let's go!"

  When Lin Xue'er and Chen Li were gazing at each other like they had been struck by lightning, Lin Yuanshan walked over, took hold of Lin Xue'er's small hand, and headed towards the outside of the house, leaving only Chen Li standing there in a daze, savoring the wonderful feeling from before.

  It was that gentle bow of the head, like a water lily flower that couldn't withstand the cool breeze's shyness. Besides this popular modern poem, what other beautiful words can describe Lin Xueer's just now beautiful demeanor?

  This reborn cultivator, Chen Li, was desperately searching his memory for words to praise a woman. Unfortunately, his own memories had little to offer in terms of poetry and songs, aside from cultivation techniques. The memories of the original Chen Li were even more barren when it came to poetry and songs. Even the previous sentence that came to mind was something he had memorized temporarily to pursue Dongfang Yu, but the sentiment expressed in that poem didn't match Dongfang Yu's temperament at all, so it was never used. However, at this moment, under these circumstances, combined with the scene and Lin Xue'er's unintentionally revealed expression, this famous phrase that had been circulating in Huaxia for nearly a hundred years suddenly flashed into Chen Li's mind! Lin Xue'er's charming, beautiful, and enchanting image was deeply imprinted on Chen Li's heart, giving this cultivator who had lived for hundreds of years but never knew the taste of love a shocking feeling.

  "Shi Heng brothers, today I want to thank you! If it wasn't for your timely notification of Xue Er, letting her stop all this, I Lin Yuan Shan would have become a sinner in the history of Huaguo!"

  Lin Yuan Shan was on his way back, carefully recalling the events that had just occurred. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat all over his body. If he had insisted on fighting Chen's family to the death earlier, it would have likely plunged Lin's family and the entire country of Hua into chaos, bringing great disaster to the people of Hua and even allowing enemy nations that had long been eyeing Hua to take advantage of the situation and invade the country. Thinking about this made him deeply regret his actions, but he was very satisfied with Jin Shi Heng's performance.

  "Master of the house, what I did was nothing, but Snow's sacrifice is just too great!"

  Jin Shiheng humbly responded to Lin Yuanshan's praise, and while speaking, he couldn't help but glance back at Lin Xue'er with a gaze filled with pity and reluctance. After all, he had watched Lin Xue'er grow up since she was little, and Lin Yuanshan treated him like his own brother. So for Jin Shiheng, Lin Xue'er was also like his own niece. However, his dear niece had suffered such severe harm, yet as her uncle, not only could he not help her avenge herself, but he also had to let her face her father and persuade him to forgive the culprit who had ruined her innocence. Wasn't this too cruel for a pure and innocent girl like Lin Xue'er?

  "Dad, actually this matter, the real culprit is not Chen Li, but Dongfang Yu is the one who caused all of this!" Lin Xue'er said to Lin Yuan Shan after a moment of silence.

  "What?" Lin Yuanshan and Jin Shiheng both asked in unison, their faces pale with shock.

  How is this possible? Our Xue'er has always treated Dongfang Yu as her own sister, and Dongfang Yu isn't someone who would go around telling people that our Xue'er is her only best friend, right? How could she possibly set up a scheme to harm Xue'er? Even if we assume she wanted to frame Chen Li, she wouldn't need to compromise her own innocence as well, would she? This... this doesn't make sense!

  Lin Yuan Shan looked at Lin Xue Er with a shocked expression, and many thoughts flashed through his mind, but he couldn't figure out the reason.

  "Dad, I've been puzzled for a long time about why Dongfang Yu had to put her own reputation on the line. Maybe she just wanted to gain our trust even more. But think carefully and it's not hard to understand that if the Dongfang family made preparations in advance, then after we and the Chen family go through a life-and-death struggle, who will be the real beneficiary?"

  As the saying goes, "When you're in a situation, you're confused, but when you're an onlooker, you're clear." After Lin Xue'er calmed down and replayed her past experiences like watching a movie, she didn't find it hard to detect a thread of clues. Combining this with the entire event, she analyzed that Dongfang Yu's despicable tactics and the sinister intentions of the Dongfang family were immediately apparent. So when she received the message from Jin Shiheng, she didn't care about her physical and mental pain, and hastily rushed to the Chen residence to prevent the disaster from happening.

  Lin Yuan Shan carefully considered the entire event from another height after listening to Lin Xue Er's analysis, and after understanding the key points, he secretly exclaimed "good danger". It turned out that this Eastern family had long grasped his weakness and might have started setting things up a long time ago. If it weren't for Xue Er, he would probably still be in the dark until now. This is something an uncle can tolerate but an aunt cannot!

  "You, the Eastern World Family, actually calculated to our father and daughter's heads! Lin Yuan Shan will never let you off!" Lin Yuan Shan gritted his teeth and said after figuring everything out.

  "Dad, why are you being impulsive again? Have you forgotten the lesson of the Chen family? Your position as the leader is precarious, stuck between these two powerful families. You need to cleverly exploit the contradictions between them in order to stabilize your position and do more for the people of Huaxia!"
