Chapter 603: Explanation
Seeing Zhong Nianyao's polite look, the judge, who had been standing straight, immediately bent down a little and said politely, "Miss, you are too polite. This is what I should do."
"Hmm?" Zhong Nian Yao frowned and looked at the judge with a meaningful look in her eyes.
The judge's expression straightened, and he immediately spoke, "What I mean is, if you look deeper into Huang Wan's matter, it was our underworld that made the mistake. So, I should be the one apologizing to the young lady."
Zhong Nianyao continued to stare at the judge.
Just when the judge thought he couldn't hold on any longer, Zhong Nianyao finally withdrew her gaze.
The judge breathed a sigh of relief without leaving any trace, and then immediately said, "It's getting late, and the underworld is busy with many matters. I won't stay any longer."
After saying this, the judge vanished from the spot. His hasty appearance gave the impression of someone fleeing in desperation.
However, everyone thought about it and found their thoughts a little funny. He was the judge, the right-hand man of the King of Hell. How could he possibly escape?
After the Judge's figure completely disappeared, the dark sky suddenly became bright, and the surrounding fog dissipated. The lingering cold atmosphere gradually warmed up.
Just after the judge disappeared, Zhong Nian Yao cast a strange look towards the place where he had just been. There was a slight ripple in her eyes, as if she was thinking about something, but also as if she was thinking about nothing.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yichen patted Zhong Nianyao's shoulder gently and said softly, "What are you thinking about? You're so engrossed."
Lu Yichen's voice brought Zhong Nianyao back to her senses immediately. She shook her head and said, "It's nothing, there are just some things I can't figure out."
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's answer, Lu Yichen raised his eyebrows, then smiled and said softly, "Since you can't figure it out, then don't think about it!"
Zhong Nianyao gave Lu Yichen a bright smile and nodded. "You're right. If you can't figure out a problem, don't dwell on it. I think that in the future, all the unknowns and confusions will eventually be answered."
Looking at Zhong Nianyao's smile, Lu Yichen's expression couldn't help but soften a lot.
Finally, Baili Hengyuan had Yi Huai and Huang Wan sent back to the Yi family.
Yi Huai's body had been ravaged by the evil spirit and he was already weak. As for Huang Wan, after losing the vitality she had received from Baili Leyao, she was now on the verge of death.
The couple had become like this, how could they have the energy to go home! Moreover, the things these two had done also needed to be explained by the Yi family.
When Yi Huai and Huang Wan were sent back to the Yi family, Yi Lin, the head of the Yi family, was furious. However, after hearing what the Baili family members who had accompanied them said, his anger immediately dissipated, replaced by a hint of uncertainty and deep remorse.
The person who was sent over looked at Yi Lin and repeated his previous words once again, emphasizing, "Master Yi, this is not a trivial matter. Our family would never joke about such a thing. One more thing—"
"Our head hopes that the Yi family can give us the Baili family an explanation. Otherwise, our Baili family will use all our strength to seek justice for our young lady."
After hearing what that person said, Yi Lin's face suddenly became extremely ugly. When he saw Yi Huai's evasive eyes, he knew that this matter was most likely true.
"Go back and tell Patriarch Baili." He gritted his teeth and continued, "I will investigate this matter as soon as possible. If it is really as you said, then I will definitely give the Baili family an explanation."
After getting Yi Lin's assurance, the man did not stay any longer and turned around and left.
After the Baili family members left, Yi Lin looked at the embarrassed Yi Huai and the almost unrecognizable Huang Wan.
He immediately ordered someone to send Huang Wan back to her room, leaving only Yi Huai with a very pale face.
"Yi Huai, what did you do?" When Yi Lin looked at Yi Huai, his eyes were very sharp, as if he could see through all the secrets hidden in the deepest part of Yi Huai's heart.
Things have come to this point, and Yi Huai knows in his heart that it is impossible to hide what he has done.
So, without even thinking, Yi Huai told everything he had done.
After listening to Yi Huai's narration, Yi Lin felt a pain in his heart. He couldn't help but stepped forward and kicked Yi Huai on the calf, cursing, "You evil boy, do you even know what you are doing? If this gets out, it won't just be you who gets scolded, but our Yi family will also be implicated."
Yi Huai just stood there quietly, listening to Yi Lin's reproaches without even a word of rebuttal.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to refute, but he doesn’t know what else he can say in rebuttal.
In fact, he knew in his heart that what he did to Baili Leyao was indeed not human. He had done that because Huang Wan had been bewildered.
Now that the story had been exposed, he was most afraid that it would spread, and the Yi family's reputation would be completely ruined. However, what worried him even more was whether the Yi family would choose to kick him out directly to protect themselves. With his current situation, if he left the Yi family, he wouldn't know where he would end up.
Moreover, he has a child. If he is kicked out, who knows what will happen to his child. Regardless of whether the child will be forced to leave the Yi family with him, it is clear that for the child, this is absolutely a disaster.
Looking at the silent Yi Huai, Yi Lin felt disgusted. "Alright, go back first! I need to discuss with some elders in the family what to do about this matter."
After saying that, he left quickly without even looking at Yi Huai.
Yi Huai finally breathed a sigh of relief after Yi Lin left. However, he also knew that he still had a long way to go.
Unlike the Yi family who were about to face a storm, at this time in the Baili family, Baili Hengyuan also gathered all the sons in the family and told them everything.
