Ye Wantong directly threw a charming glare at Lin Xiaotian, her expression turning annoyed. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lin Xiaotian smirked, "Isn't it your little brain that's thinking crookedly?"
"I did not!"
"You're the one speaking with all sorts of messy implications, and then you say 'first time,' making it sound like others would think I've done something to you!" After saying that, Ye Wantong snatched the violet-carved pendant and quickly ran upstairs.
Lin Xiaotian watched her beautiful retreating figure disappear at the doorway with a hint of confusion, feeling that something was off.
"Why does this girl seem a little different?"
However, he didn't dwell on it and continued his work.
Meanwhile, in the room.
Ye Wantong held the carved pendant, examining it closely. She noticed many strange patterns etched onto it.
Upon closer inspection, these patterns gave off an incredibly profound aura. Staring at them for too long even made her feel a little dizzy.
"With just a few dozen lines, why do they look so beautiful?"
"It seems to emit a faint purple glow."
The more Ye Wantong looked, the more she cherished it. Her face flushed as she thought, "Is it because this scoundrel personally carved it that I find it so beautiful and attractive?"
"It must be that I love the house and its crow, hence I find it beautiful."
At this moment, at the hospital.
The Ye family had arrived.
The person leading the way was Ye Qingtian.
His eyes were filled with anger. "Xiao Feng, who beat you up like this?"
"They've trampled the face of our Ye family into the dirt."
His anger was evident.
The other members of the Ye family behind him nodded in agreement, all feeling disgraced.
Although their Ye family was considered one of the most prominent affluent families locally, they were not to be bullied.
Seeing so many people present, Ye Lingfeng had already prepared his excuse. His face contorted into a look of tearful anguish.
"Uncle, you must seek justice for me!"
"It was Lin Xiaotian who beat me."
"And Ye Wantong was also involved. She was constantly instigating Lin Xiaotian to attack me, thinking my suggestions were problematic."
"In terms of management, I definitely have more experience than Ye Wantong. We could have discussed any issues slowly, but she was autocratic. Not only did she refuse to listen to advice, but she also ordered Lin Xiaotian to strike me severely."
"Look at how I've been beaten, especially my face. I can't even face a doctor. They said that even if the external injuries heal, I'll be left with severe scars."
"These are cracks directly caused by his slaps."
As he spoke, he roughly pulled off the gauze on his face.
The wound, which had just been bandaged, began to bleed again.
Especially at the corner of his mouth, a tear had been caused by the slap.
Blood flowed uncontrollably.
The sight of his missing teeth made him look truly pathetic.
Ye Qingtian's eyes widened in disbelief. "What did you say? Lin Xiaotian hit you?"
"And my daughter was involved too?"
"How dare they?"
He found it hard to believe that his daughter would actually resort to violence. He knew his daughter's personality intimately; even if she was mischievous, she wouldn't be so ruthless.
Ye Lingfeng, however, crawled up tearfully and knelt before Ye Qingtian.
"Uncle, if I speak a single false word, may I be struck by a car when I leave!"
"Lin Xiaotian, that scoundrel, didn't stop at beating me; he also poisoned me. The doctors still can't figure out what's wrong with me, but I'm in excruciating pain all over, as if countless ants are crawling and biting me."
"Look at my body!"
He struggled to lift his shirt, revealing his muscles spasming.
It was as if his entire body was convulsing.
Everyone present couldn't help but gasp.
Although they didn't know the extent of Ye Lingfeng's suffering, who hadn't experienced muscle cramps?
When a limb cramps, the muscles ripple and spasm like water, which was very similar to what they were seeing.
And that was just a cramp in one limb, which could make someone's face turn pale from pain, but Ye Lingfeng was suffering all over.
Ye Qingtian's eyes widened, but his anger was already brewing. "I always felt Lin Xiaotian wasn't a good person. I even warned our elder, but he didn't believe me."
"I never expected him to go this far, even daring to attack you."
"And for the sake of the family's inheritance, my daughter has also changed her personality."
"I will personally go and bring them here. I'm going now, just bear with the pain for a moment."
Ye Qingtian's fury filled his chest. In the past few days, he had heard from people in the family about his daughter's various issues, which had caused him to lose a lot of face.
He was incredibly annoyed.
There was another matter he hadn't told anyone.
Filled with rage, he arrived outside the villa.
The servants at the door recognized him as a member of the Ye family and tried to stop him, but he barged in.
"Mr. Ye, you can't go in there!"
Ye Qingtian paid no heed. He stormed into the villa's main hall, and upon seeing Lin Xiaotian, his eyes erupted with fury. He gritted his teeth and roared, "You scoundrel, why did you attack a person from my Ye family?"
"If you had just slapped me a few times, it would be one thing, but look at what you've done."
"Ye Lingfeng has publicly accused you and my daughter in front of numerous members of the Ye family."
"Do you know how much face this has cost me in the Ye family?"
"If it weren't for Chu Nianxue's sake, I would have had you crippled today."
"Now, immediately come with me to the hospital to alleviate Ye Lingfeng's suffering, and apologize to him until he forgives you."
Lin Xiaotian put down the small knife in his hand and turned his smiling gaze. "What did you say?"
"I said for you to go..."
Before he could finish, Lin Xiaotian unleashed a palm strike from a distance.
The scraps of stone he had carved were instantly reduced to powder by his palm.
The smallest stones were the size of a fist.
This sudden scene stunned Ye Qingtian, his eyes widening.
A question mark appeared in his mind.
Is this something a human can do?
Is he an immortal?
With no physical contact, he struck from afar, turning solid stone into dust.
