Long Sorrow Song - C108

Trust is a very strange word. Some people still suspect each other even after knowing each other for their entire lives. Some people view the other person as a friend who lives or dies with just a few words.

The three of them walked into the pavilion at the center of Jinxing Garden. Ye Mo Han and Tang Xiao Lin were still far away. Tang Xiao Lin stared at the people in the pavilion. “No matter what your motive is for the Lu Family, it’s none of my business. But you have to promise me two things.”

“What do you want me to promise you?” Ye Mo Han smiled wryly to himself. It seemed he was being paranoid. Even if Tang Xiao Lin had heard his name, how could she have known him? Tang Xiao Lin also saw him as someone who was scheming against the Lu Family, which made Ye Mo Han feel quite uncomfortable. People are always so strange, blind to real conspiracies, and do everything they can to thwart those who hate conspiracies.

“First, help me kill the White Walled Eagle and Peng Bo.” Tang Xiao Lin looked at the two people standing in the pavilion, laughing at the gold. “Second, after the Lu Family falls, Lu Zihan will belong to me, and my Tang Family will not interfere in the matters of the Lu Bank.”

Tang Xiaolin’s words surprised Ye Mo. Perhaps things weren’t as simple as he had imagined. According to Ye Ziyu’s understanding, Lu Zibai’s caution towards strangers did not come from a constant habit of caution, but from the fact that the Lu family and the Lu bank were entering a whirlpool. Lu Ziyu had already sensed this whirlpool, but did not know who had pulled the Lu family into the whirlpool. Ye Mo Han had come to the Lu family at this time, and Ye Mo Han had tried his best to cover it up, which had caused Lu Zibai to feel even more uneasy. So he had left Ye Mo Han in the Lu family and imprisoned him. But after two months, the cold behavior of the leaf more and more caused Lu Zibai’s uneasiness, so Lu Zibai wanted to use the cheetah reason as a test to five hundred gold taels as a test. However, Tang Xiao Lin’s fondness for Lu Zihan could be seen from his words and actions. As soon as Ye Mo had entered the Jinxing Garden, Lu Zihan had mocked and ridiculed him, and Tang Xiao Lin had only pretended not to see him. But now, Tang Xiao Lin had directly revealed her feelings for Lu Zihan, which was the same as speaking her feelings for Lu Zihan in front of Ye Han. In Tang Xiao Lin’s eyes, Lu Zihan might be the equivalent of the Lu bank, but in her father’s eyes.

If Lu Zibai had really predicted that there would be trouble, then it seemed like the Tang Clan knew of the conspiracy. Or perhaps, the Tang Clan was also involved in the operation to deal with the Lu Clan. Tang Xiao Lin had mistook Ye Han for one of them. The Tang family was only a escort company, and had a lowly status in the martial arts world. They were even inferior to a small sect. If the Tang Clan dared to set their eyes on the Lu Clan, then there must be a force that would make the Tang Clan confident. From the looks of it, it was possible for any sect in the martial arts world to do so, and Ye Mo Han was more inclined to see it as the Hua Shan Sect’s Zhang Qingwu.

“A single Lu Zihan is the equivalent of a Lu bank in your heart, but how are you going to account for your father?” Ye Mo Han didn’t agree to Tang Xiao Lin’s conditions, but said these words to test him out. If the Tang family really did participate, although Ye Mo Han didn’t have a good impression of Lu Zi Bai, he still wanted to know who was working with the Tang family. Of course, there were also reasons for Ye Mo Han’s hatred. After almost losing his life due to the continuous plotting, Ye Mo Han’s hatred towards the people who plotted against him was even greater. However, Ye Mo Han also made him understand that against those who plotted against him, he couldn’t just fight them in broad daylight. Perhaps it would be more suitable for such a person to return the favor.

“That’s my family matter. Just do your own thing.” Tang Xiaolin’s answer confirmed Ye Chonglou’s guess. The Tang Clan was indeed preparing to join hands with others to deal with the Lu Clan, but the reason was not important to Ye Chanhan. He only valued the people who worked with the Tang Clan — Zhang Qingwu and the Emerald Pavilion.

“Your disguise will attract Lu Zibai’s attention. It’ll only make him more alert,” Tang Xiao Lin said, her voice full of dissatisfaction. “You’d better make some trouble in the next two days.”

“Such as killing Peng Bo and the White Warehouse Eagle?” The two of them were already very close to the pavilion at Jinxing Garden.

“The reason I killed them was to prove your strength. It can also be considered the price you paid for your clumsy disguise.” “Tang Xiao Lin started walking faster towards the pavilion.” “In three days, if I kill them, I will give Lu Zibai an explanation.”

In the pavilion, Lu Zihan had already left some time ago. Tang Xiao Lin looked glum, ignoring Peng Bo and Bai Cang Ying. Lu Zibai watched as the two of them walked through the forest side by side, whispering along the way, and said, “Brother Yun Du, for the men of the Lu family and the Tang family, even for those of the opposite sex, if Brother Xiao Lin has any offense in his words, I hope you can forgive me.”

“Big Brother Lu, where did Zihan go?” Tang Xiaolin and Lu Zibai spoke in a polite tone.

“You two little enemies.” Lu Ziyi laughed out loud, facing the White Walled Eagle, Peng Bo and Ye Jianhan, and said, “I forgot to tell everyone that Xiao Lin came to my Lu Family this time because she proposed marriage.”

Tang Xiao Lin had come to the Lu Family this time to ask for Lu Zihan’s hand in marriage. Obviously, Lu Zibai had no doubts about the Tang family, which had a deep relationship with his family for three generations. Even though everyone could see that Lu Zihan didn’t hold a trace of goodwill towards Tang Xiaolin, everyone present, including Ye Shuanghan, repeatedly congratulated Lu Zibai and Tang Xiaolin. It seemed that the Tang Clan had made sufficient preparations. Even if they did not succeed against the Lu Clan, the Tang Clan would still be able to marry the Lu Clan. But why would the Tang Clan and the other faction that they had colluded with want to deal with the Lu Clan? Tang Xiao Lin had already guessed that they were going to split the money between them. An effective and quick way to kill Lu Zibai is to kill him, because the Lu bank is almost entirely supported by Lu Zibai alone. It was easy to let one person die, but the difficulty lay in Lu Zibai’s position. If he was suddenly killed, the other powers would not sit idly by. In the long run, if he directly killed Lu Zibai, not only would it not bring about any benefits to the people who colluded with them, it would also cause both sides to fall into a passive situation, and they might even be swallowed by other stronger powers. As a result, the Tang Clan would think about it, and those who cooperated with the Tang Clan would also think about it. Therefore, they wouldn’t be so stupid as to directly kill Lu Zibai. What would they do to the Lu Family? Ye Mo Han couldn’t figure it out. He was sure that the Tang Family had sent someone to infiltrate the Lu Family, but he didn’t know who it was. He only knew that Tang Xiaolin had mistaken him for someone else.

Ye Jianhan’s appearance was too coincidental, and perhaps too coincidental for Tang Xiaolin. Since Tang Xiaolin had admitted her wrongs, Ye Mo Han planned to use this tactic to lure out the people who were truly hiding here to deal with the Lu Family and help Lu Zibai. As for why Ye Jianhan wanted to help Lu Ziyi, he didn’t know. Perhaps the millet was a favor to others. Ye Mo Han was going to stay at the Lu family for a while, and if he could do something, it would be a comfort to him. If he could help, it would be considered as Ye Mo Han repaying Lu Zi Han’s kindness.
