He wanted to find the person as soon as possible, and then the father and daughter could find a beautiful place and live a peaceful life together.
It's not that he's a coward, it's just that's how the world is.
Even if that woman wasn't the Crown Princess, he would still fight desperately, even if it was like throwing an egg against a rock, but right now his daughter is the most important thing.
Seeing his expression, Lin Jiujiu probably guessed what he was thinking.
He smiled and said, "It's alright if you don't want revenge. However, until the Ningguo Duke's Mansion is exonerated, you can only stay here with me for the time being. I will also have someone help you find your daughter. After that, whether you stay or leave is entirely up to you."
Actually, given her personality, if this person's enemy hadn't happened to be Lin Xian'er, she might not have taken him in.
She wasn't afraid; she was just used to indifference. No matter how pitiful the person was, she wouldn't risk getting into trouble for them.
If it were Lin Xian'er, it wouldn't matter; I already have scores to settle with her, so one more wouldn't make a difference.
As for preventing Yang Yi from leaving, the main reason is that the news of Ning Yue's presence here cannot be spread.
Ultimately, it's just that Lin Jiujiu doesn't trust this person.
Yang Yi felt somewhat disappointed when Lin Jiujiu told him to leave.
He wanted to find his daughter, but before that, he needed a place to stay. He also knew he was a nuisance, and he should be grateful that people were willing to take him in for a while.
But just as he was thinking this, he heard Lin Jiujiu say something.
"But I don't keep idle people here. Since you're here, you still have to do what you're supposed to do."
Yang Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Lin Jiujiu's offer to help him find his daughter was already a pleasant surprise.
If he could really find his daughter, he would be willing to work for her for the rest of his life.
"Thank you, Master. Yang Yi was bought by you, so he should serve you wholeheartedly, even at the cost of his life."
Lin Jiujiu nodded, signaling Baili Chenyuan to withdraw the result.
Then, he called Lin's father, Lin Ze, and others over.
"Dad, Yang Li's family used to be in business, so they have some experience in this area. You can ask him if you have any questions in the future."
Lin's father and the others glanced at Lin Jiujiu and then looked at Yang Li.
"Then please give me more guidance in the future, Mr. Yang."
"No, no, I wouldn't dare."
Yang Li quickly avoided returning the courtesy, clearly indicating that the indenture was still in Lin Jiujiu's hands, and the Lin family members were his masters; how could he be qualified to accept their courtesy?
"If you have any instructions, please just tell me. I wouldn't dare to ask for your advice."
Lin Jiujiu ignored their polite formalities. Since the person was already in her house, she should make the most of them.
As for whether Yang Li's real name is Yang Li, and his family affairs, there's no need for his family to know.
She knew the Lin family members were kind-hearted, and she was afraid that if they found out, they would be worried too.
As for finding Yang Li's daughter, she had just calculated that his daughter was indeed still alive.
This matter can be left to Tantai Yueming. It was all caused by the royal family, so naturally he should be the one to clean up the mess.
Lin's father took Yang Li to settle in, while Lin Jiujiu remained in the side hall.
She knew that Tantai Yueming had made arrangements for Ning Yue and Tantai Haoze to return.
As she expected, before she had even finished a cup of tea, Tantai Yueming had already returned, though his expression was somewhat grave.
Unlike his usual cheerful demeanor, his face carried a somewhat solemn expression.
Seeing his expression, Lin Jiujiu didn't ask any questions, waiting for him to speak first.
Sure enough, not long after, Tantai Yueming spoke.
"Jiu Jiu, please take care of them for a while. I have some things to do and need to leave."
Lin Jiujiu had no objection to this; after all, if she didn't want to get involved, she wouldn't have brought Ning Yue back.
However, Tantai Yueming's decision to leave now was not what she expected.
After all, judging from his previous conversation with Ning Yue, he thought everything was under his control, but now it seems that's not the case.
Lin Jiujiu didn't ask any further questions and nodded.
“Ning Yue, you don’t need to worry. He has a connection with my family and helped me when we were in the capital. I won’t abandon him.”
The implication was that she only cared about Ning Yue, and as for that brat Tantai Haoze, that was a matter for the Tantai family and had nothing to do with her.
Of course, it's not impossible for her to take charge, but that would come at a different price.
Tantai Yueming had known her for some time, so he immediately understood what she meant.
He simply took out a stack of silver notes and handed them over without even counting them.
Lin Jiujiu took it and glanced at it; even the smallest denomination was a thousand taels.
She estimated the thickness and estimated it to be at least 100,000 taels.
"Tsk, tsk!"
Lin Jiujiu clicked her tongue twice, surprised that this little brat was quite valuable.
She put away the silver notes and then smiled at Tantai Yueming.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure nothing happens to your little brat."
Looking at Lin Jiujiu's money-grubbing appearance, Tantai Yueming really didn't know what to say.
She could easily have anything that would attract a lot of attention, but for some reason she has a particular fondness for yellow and white things.
However, Tantai Yueming knew that Lin Jiujiu kept her word, so he felt at ease leaving Tantai Haoze here.
So he looked at Baili Chenyuan and asked.
When are we leaving?
Baili Chenyuan didn't even glance at him, but instead asked a question.
"When did I say I was leaving?"
When Tantai Yueming heard this, her mouth gaped open wide enough to fit a toothbrush.
When they returned from the cultivation world, didn't they promise to help me investigate Ningcheng?
Why have you changed your mind now?
Just as Tantai Yueming was racking her brains trying to figure it out, only Lin Jiujiu noticed that Baili Chenyuan's self-address had changed.
Since they met, Baili Chenyuan has never referred to himself as "this one".
It's clear that he really didn't want to leave with Tantai Yueming.
Tantai Yueming was still somewhat incredulous, but he couldn't say anything.
Then Baili Chenyuan said, "He is a Nascent Soul cultivator, yet he can't even handle such a small matter and I have to take action personally. He is too useless."
Tantai Yueming took a deep breath and then held it in.
He had lived for over twenty years, and no one had ever said that to him before.
Is he a waste of space? Is that even possible?
Even in the cultivation world, there are very few people like him who have reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm at the age of twenty-five.
He was considered one of the most outstanding talents, not to mention that he cultivated the sword path that could break through all laws with a single sword, making him virtually invincible among his peers.
If he were willing to risk injury, it wouldn't be impossible for him to kill an enemy of a higher level.
Now, in Baili's mouth, it's considered trash.
However, if someone else had said these words, he might have been able to refute them, but Baili wouldn't have dared to utter a single word.
However, Baili is right about one thing.
He has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration for him to act recklessly in the mortal realm. There's really no need to drag him along.
In the past, people would insist on asking him for help, partly because he was still a Golden Core cultivator and dared not be overconfident, fearing that he might accidentally capsize in a ditch.
