After waiting for ten minutes, there was still no sign of Lin Yuanyuan coming out.

Li Xiaoyao knew this was destined to be a long wait and took out a cigarette to pass the time.

"Ding dong."

Someone rang the doorbell.

"Li Xiaoyao, someone is outside," Lin Yuanyuan's voice came from the washroom.

Li Xiaoyao didn't bother to respond, continuing to leisurely smoke.

He had used his mind to check the moment the doorbell rang and found it was several people from the Lin Family.

"Li Xiaoyao, there's someone outside, go open the door," Lin Yuanyuan called out again, seeing that nobody had responded.

Li Xiaoyao still did not respond, his legs propped up on the windowsill, thoroughly enjoying himself.

Outside the door, Lin Changfu and a few others stood in a row.

After pressing the doorbell, they heard Lin Yuanyuan's voice and looked at each other, their eyes somewhat complex.

Especially Lin Langtian, his eyes were red at this moment, wishing he could rush in and beat Li Xiaoyao to a pulp right then and there.

But he knew that was impossible, such a thing, for his entire life, would never happen.

With Li Xiaoyao not opening the door, the Lin Family members had no choice but to wait outside.

Although Lin Changfu maintained a calm appearance, he was already seething with anger inside.

To think that he, the distinguished Third Elder of the Lin Family and also a Cultivator, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

At this moment, he had already made up his mind, to first resolve his grudges with Li Xiaoyao today, then as soon as he returned to the Lin Family, he would immediately send someone to kill Li Xiaoyao.

"Li Xiaoyao, are you dead? Hurry up and open the door," Lin Yuanyuan roared like a lioness.

Li Xiaoyao still pretended not to hear.

"Bang."

Lin Yuanyuan pushed the bathroom door open with a bang, walked into the room, looked at Li Xiaoyao, who was smoking with his legs propped up, and scolded, "You mangy servant, are you deaf?"

Li Xiaoyao spoke indifferently, "Haven't eaten, no strength to open the door."

Lin Yuanyuan mocked, "Hmph, with you like this, and you still boast about having killed Wu Hao."

After mocking him, Lin Yuanyuan turned around to open the door.

"Creak."

When the door opened, seeing the people standing outside, Lin Yuanyuan was a bit startled.

"Shiyun sister, why are you here?" Lin Yuanyuan had not seen Lin Changfu before, so she did not know who he was.

Lin Shiyun took her hand and said, "Yuanyuan, this is Third Uncle."

Lin Yuanyuan looked at Lin Changfu, slightly bowed her head, and spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Third Uncle."

Lin Changfu squeezed out a smile and nodded, "Your father sat with me for tea a few days ago and spoke of you."

Lin Yuanyuan did not show much excitement, merely smiling and replying before asking, "I'm not sure what brings Third Uncle here, is there something you need?"

Before Lin Changfu could explain his intention, Li Xiaoyao's voice already came from within the room.

"They're here to see me, let them in," Li Xiaoyao knew that Lin Changfu was surely trying to take advantage of Lin Yuanyuan's presence to play on his feelings, hoping to make him let them off the hook.

It must be said, they were very adept at pulling strings.

Just as Lin Yuanyuan was about to turn her head and yell, she heard Lin Shiyun say, "Don't keep the Master waiting too long, Third Uncle, let's go inside."

"Hmm," Lin Changfu nodded and stepped into the room.

Lin Yuanyuan stood at the door, her face blank as she watched the others walk into the room one after another.

"Master?"

"Why does Shiyun address Li Xiaoyao as Master Li?"

With confusion, Lin Yuanyuan followed.

In the room.

Lin Changfu approached Li Xiaoyao, respectfully saying, "Master Li."

Li Xiaoyao glanced at him, feigning ignorance, "Why have you come?"

Lin Changfu smiled, "Master Li, there may have been some conflicts between us in the past, and I am here today to apologize to you."

"Apologize?" Lin Yuanyuan stepped forward, asking, "Third Uncle, what are you talking about? Why are you apologizing to Li Xiaoyao?"

Although she had never seen Lin Changfu before, they shared the same bloodline of the Lin Family. Seeing Lin Changfu acting so humbly made Lin Yuanyuan slightly uncomfortable.

Lin Changfu frowned, "Yuanyuan, don't be disrespectful to Master Li." Explore new worlds at My Virtual Library Empire

Li Xiaoyao waved his hand, "Don't shout at her like that; this is our room, not a place for you to run wild. If you have nothing else, you should leave."

Lin Changfu tensed, asking, "Master Li, you see..."

Li Xiaoyao irritably said, "I'll give Yuanyuan face today and give you one last chance. If there's a repeat offense, you know what the consequences will be."

Lin Changfu took a deep breath, having come today with the sole aim of getting Li Xiaoyao to spare him. Since Li Xiaoyao agreed, he felt relieved. As for his threat, Lin Changfu didn't take it seriously at all.

As long as he returned to the Lin Family, what could a mere Cultivator in the Condensation Realm amount to?

In less than a minute, Lin Changfu arrived with some people and left, leaving a huge enigma in Lin Yuanyuan's heart.

After they left, Lin Yuanyuan looked curiously at Li Xiaoyao and couldn't help but ask, "Dog lackey, why did the Third Uncle call you Master Li?"

Li Xiaoyao said, "Because I disabled Lin Langtian with one finger and killed Wu Hao with a single move, he's afraid I'll kill him outside the Ghost Market, so he came to beg for mercy."

Lin Yuanyuan's expression grew even stranger as she said, "Li Xiaoyao, have you gone mad? What's with all this nonsense? Speak up; this lady doesn't have the patience to play games with you."

Li Xiaoyao shook his head, resigned, and casually made something up, "They call me Master Li because I can tell fortunes."

Lin Yuanyuan's eyes lit up, "You can tell fortunes? Really?"

"Don't believe me? Let me show you." Li Xiaoyao looked her up and down and theatrically counted on his fingers, "Black bra..."

Lin Yuanyuan's face flushed with embarrassment, and she pointed tremblingly at Li Xiaoyao's arm, her almond eyes full of anger, "Li Xiaoyao! You jerk!"

Li Xiaoyao spread his hands innocently, "It's just fortune-telling, no need to take it so seriously," he said. Then Li Xiaoyao suddenly stared at her, feigning surprise, "Could it be, I guessed right?"

"You—you—you... Jerk, big jerk, super jerk!" Lin Yuanyuan stomped her foot and ran into the bathroom.

Li Xiaoyao laughed and said, "Trying to compete with me? You're still too green."

In the bathroom, Lin Yuanyuan locked the door.

"That jerk," she muttered grudgingly, yet she was also very curious, "But how did he know?"

...

After leaving the room, Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yuanyuan had lunch at the Fuman Restaurant.

During the meal, the martial artists at the other tables cast glances at them, cautiously sizing up Li Xiaoyao.

They seemed to want to know how this young man had achieved such a high level of cultivation at such a young age.

Feeling these gazes, Lin Yuanyuan frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

If this were anywhere else, Lin Yuanyuan would have cursed out loud, but this was the Ghost Market, and the guests at the other tables were all martial artists; she didn't dare to curse and offend others.

Li Xiaoyao put down his chopsticks and said quietly without even looking up, "Whoever looks at me again will have their eyes gouged out."

At his words, everyone shuddered and immediately averted their gaze, not daring to look again.

Lin Yuanyuan looked at Li Xiaoyao and said with a smile, "Not bad, kid. You've got quite the intimidating presence."
