Chapter 415: Serendiity
Ye Bing held her round chin with both hands, her eyes looked at the gloomy sky outside the window with a little confusion, there was a mobile phone on the desktop in front of her, and there were some bound documents next to the phone, some of which had been opened and read some, but judging from the thickness of the page opened, Ye Bing obviously didn't see much.

The expression on Ye Bing's face kept changing, sometimes confused, sometimes worried, and occasionally there was a hint of shame and unbearable expression, of course, she was not exercising her acting skills, in fact, her expression was more vivid than any acting skills, in fact, she was just recalling everything that happened yesterday afternoon.
What puzzled and puzzled her, of course, was that she agreed to Xu Xingkong's suggestion in a daze, and handed over the sister she cared about the most to that mysterious man, and even until this moment, Ye Bing couldn't confirm whether everything Xu Xingkong said was true.
And this is what makes Ye Bing the most worried and worried, although Xu Xingkong assured her that he did not use any dishonorable means to interfere with her and her sister's thinking, but the more Ye Bing thought about it afterwards, the more she felt that her decision was too hasty, so she was very guilty in her heart now, although she was looking for various reasons to convince herself, but her feelings in her heart could not be ignored.
As for what made her feel extremely ashamed, it was the ridiculous condition she put forward at the end, I don't know what she thought at the time, the only condition she put forward was to allow her to keep in touch with Lin Xue at any time, God knows, is this also a condition?
Thinking of Xu Xingkong's weird smile at that time, Ye Bing felt a sense of shame that her reputation had been ruined, and she felt that the whole person was not good, she firmly believed that she would never want to see Xu Xingkong's whole person again in the future, so this guy would definitely disappear from this world!
Thinking of this, Ye Bing had a feeling of wanting to roll on the ground, but it was obviously not suitable here, so she covered her delicate face hard, and let out a meaningless hum in her mouth.
"Tuk-tuk..."
There was a knock on the door, Ye Bing quickly put down his hands, tensed his face hard, and then showed a perfect smile and said:
"Please come in. ”
Pushing open the door of the lounge was Ye Bing's agent, Miss He, and beside her was a middle-aged man in a Tang costume.
"Miss Ye, Master Lai has arrived. ”
Ye Bing quickly stood up, and said with a warm but distanced smile:
"Please come in, Master Lai, I'm sorry to trouble you to make a trip yourself. ”
Master Lai pushed the gold wire glasses frame on the bridge of his nose, revealing a reserved smile, nodded and quickly swept over Ye Bing's beautiful face, and said with a smile:
"Don't bother, it's a contemptible honor for Miss Ye to recruit her, and others can't envy her, haha..."
Ye Bing smiled and beckoned Master Lai to sit down, and then instructed Miss He to prepare tea, while casually greeting Master Lai.
Although this Master Lai is the same surname as the Lai family of the King of the South China Sea, it is not a family, Master Lai is a scholar, Feng Shui is also very high, claiming to be the successor of Lai Buyi, and is also a very active celebrity in the circle of the Xiangjiang elite, it is said that the business has now expanded to the north.
Master Lai and Ye Bing were mixed up in the local elite circle in Xiangjiang, so naturally they had a few encounters, and they had also shown Ye Bing once, Ye Bing still had a good feeling for Master Lai.
As for Ye Bing's purpose of inviting Master Lai, it actually has something to do with Xu Xingkong, in fact, before Xu Xingkong left with Lin Xue, he specially asked Ye Bing to find a local cultivator in Xiangjiang to confirm his identity and the status of Yushan Yuzhai, and even introduced Ye Bing to some local cultivation sects and families in Xiangjiang, but Ye Bing felt that it was more reliable to find someone to ask by himself, so Master Lai visited.
Compared with the mainland, the cultivation circle in Xiangjiang is relatively closer to the secular people, which has something to do with the official management style, so Ye Bing actually has some shallow understanding of the cultivation circle, perhaps it is precisely because of this that she will accept Xu Xingkong's magical rhetoric at once.
For the same reason, Ye Bing easily avoided the sect families introduced by Xu Xingkong and found a person in the cultivation circle by himself.
After Miss He arranged the tea and left the room, Ye Bing cleared her throat, slightly restrained her formulaic smile, and said with a little seriousness:
"Master Lai, there are actually some things I want to consult you about this time. ”
Master Lai smiled and nodded quietly:
"Miss Ye, please say, the contemptible must know everything. ”
Ye Bing hesitated for a moment, sorted out his somewhat chaotic thoughts and said:
"Actually, I've been in some trouble lately, and it may involve Master Lai's peers. ”
Master Lai's expression was solemn when he heard this, and he straightened up and said:
"Peer, could it be that someone is causing trouble for Miss Ye?"
Ye Bing didn't know how to answer, it seemed that someone really caused trouble for herself, but what she wanted to consult now was not about this matter, but because she wanted to know whether the person who promised to help her solve the trouble was reliable.
"It's... Sort of, I don't know if Master Lai has heard of Yushan Yuzhai in Pengcheng?"
Master Lai was stunned when he heard this, and then the expression on his face changed suddenly, and he said with some uneasiness:
"Could it be that Miss Ye and Yushan Yuzhai have a falling out?"
Master Lai's attitude seemed very nervous, which made Ye Bing breathe a sigh of relief, which at least showed that Yushan Yuzhai was really a sect with quite a status, since it was rooted and well-established, the possibility of Xu Xingkong deceiving himself was greatly reduced.
"No, I don't know if Master Lai has heard of Elder Xu Xingkong Xu of Yushan Yuzhai?"
As soon as Master Lai heard Xu Xingkong's name, his demeanor immediately became cautious and respectful, and his eyes looking at Ye Bing were also extremely cautious:
"Miss Ye, do you also know Elder Xu? Elder Xu is a high-ranking figure, a small person like me can't see this senior, why did Miss Ye ask about this?"
Ye Bing didn't notice that Master Lai had changed his honorifics to her, and she was completely relieved to hear that Xu Xingkong's identity had been confirmed, and then asked again:
"Master Lai, how is this Elder Xu's reputation?"
Master Lai showed embarrassment and hesitation on his face, and after hesitating for a moment, he said cautiously:
"Well... Actually, I'm just hearsay, Miss Ye, do you know Elder Xu?"
Ye Bing finally noticed that Master Lai used honorifics for himself this time, Ye Bing immediately understood, Master Lai did not change honorifics because he respected himself, but was very jealous of his relationship with Xu Xingkong, and the smart Ye Bing rolled his eyes and smiled:
"Of course, I met him yesterday, but it's the first time I've met him, and I'm very curious about him, so I want to know more about him. ”
Ye Bing said very vaguely, the imagination space is very huge, if Master Lai's status is higher, he will definitely have a careful understanding of the relationship between Ye Bing and Xu Xingkong, however, Master Lai is just a small person, so although he is very curious about the real relationship between Ye Bing and Xu Xingkong, this matter actually has no direct interest in him, so he suppressed his curiosity.
After pondering for a while, Master Lai felt that it was better to say something beautiful and have a good fate:
"In this way, I am also hearsay about Elder Xu, but this Elder Xu is very famous, it is said that he is a genius who comes out once in a thousand years, and his strength is unfathomable at a young age, and he was promoted to Elder Yushan Yuzhai two years after his debut, and he is the most powerful elder, this Yushan Yuzhai is not like our Xiangjiang sects, Yushan Yuzhai is the same in Pengcheng, in other words, Elder Xu is a top figure in Pengcheng, and Miss Ye can get acquainted with Elder Xu is a big opportunity. ”
Ye Bing couldn't help but show a big smile when he heard this, nodded and said:
"In this way, I can rest assured, in fact, it was Elder Xu who took my sister away, saying that he was destined for my sister, and I don't know much about your circle, so I bothered Master Lai to consult. ”
"Sister Ling! Miss Ye really has a younger sister, so I'll just say that your face is definitely not a lone star... Oops, gaffes, gaffes. Sister Ling is really lucky this time, Elder Xu takes a fancy to it, the future is limitless, congratulations, congratulations, haha..."
"Thank you. ”
Ye Bing's eyebrows were full of smiles, and there was still a little uneasiness and worry.
......
At the same moment, Ye Bing's sister, who was happy and proud, was wiping her tears.
The reason is very simple, as soon as I saw Xu Xingkong today, poor Lin Xue was once again encountered by water balloons and whirlwinds, and the shapes and hairstyles that had been drawn with great difficulty were immediately beaten back to a state of no makeup.
Xu Xingkong looked at Lin Xue with tears in his eyes with satisfaction, glanced at Lin Xue's dormitory, frowned and said:
"Hand over your card and cash. ”
Lin Xue subconsciously took two steps back, glanced at the small bag she was hiding at the head of the bed, looked at Xu Xingkong vigilantly and asked:
"Why? Didn't you say you didn't want my money?"
"I really don't want your money, I'm just keeping it for you temporarily, because it is not allowed to use the money brought from outside in the academy, and if you want to live comfortably in the academy, you can only rely on your own skills to earn money. ”
"How do you make money?"
There are a lot of jobs waiting for you in the work-study department of the college, and there are also some allowances for you to cooperate with my experiments as an assistant. ”
"But what am I going to eat when the money is given to you?"
"Didn't anyone tell you that the academy's cafeteria was free?"
"No, even if the food is free, but the clothes and daily necessities will cost money. ”
"I'll leave you two hundred, and hand over the rest, right away. ”
"Can we negotiate?"
"No, you can't. ”
"Woo... You bully, you big liar, you promised my sister to take care of me. ”
Seeing that it didn't work, Lin Xue cried with a flat mouth, wiping her tears while accusing Xu Xingkong of treachery, and at the same time quietly peeking at Xu Xingkong's expression.
Xu Xingkong pursed his lips disdainfully and said:
"I promised your sister to take care of you, but not to serve you, besides, helping you to be self-reliant is the best care in itself, haven't you heard that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, okay, if you don't shut up, I will let you silence. ”
"Eh, bad guy, can't you give it to you, big bad guy!"
Xu Xingkong not only took Lin Xue's money and goods, but also confiscated her cosmetics, and then took Lin Xue with an aggrieved face to the laboratory.
