Chapter 500 The Purpose of the Spirit Flame

Upon seeing this, He Hailuo quickly reached out and grasped Lin Xiyue's hand, his eyes filled with deep gratitude.

"Thank you, thank you so much! You've helped me so much!"

She said softly.

These few simple words contained her sincere gratitude to Lin Xiyue.

Lin Xiyue looked at He Hailuo, smiled and nodded, indicating her understanding.

"Okay, so do you want to start working now, or in a couple of days?"

Then, she squinted her eyes and asked in a relaxed tone.

He Hailuo hesitated for a moment, then looked up and glanced at the busy crowd in the shop.

She noticed that everyone was working intently, and the whole shop was bustling with activity, making it seem like they really needed help.

"Right now, it seems you're very busy here. I happen to have some free time now, so it's no problem for me to start working right away. I'll just call my parents and let them know."

So she answered decisively.

After saying that, she gave a bright smile, seemingly full of confidence and anticipation for the work that was about to begin.

"Okay, go ahead and make the call. There's no rush."

Lin Xiyue wore a faint smile as she gently watched He Hailuo leave the room to make a phone call.

Her gaze remained fixed on He Hailuo until He Hailuo's figure completely disappeared through the doorway, at which point she slowly withdrew her gaze.

Then, Lin Xiyue slowly raised her head and turned her gaze to Ling Yan, who had slumped on the sofa like a lump of mud after finishing his meal.

Ling Yan had his eyes closed and seemed to be asleep, but Lin Xiyue knew he was definitely not asleep.

"Alright, now that she's out, tell me, what did you find out? What problems did you discover?"

Lin Xiyue's voice suddenly turned serious. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her gentle gaze sharpened as she stared directly at Ling Yan.

Upon hearing Lin Xiyue's words, Lingyan seemed to have anticipated it and quickly opened his eyes.

His eyes were unusually bright, showing no signs of sleepiness; in fact, they were piercing and alert, unlike someone who had just woken up.

"Oh? How did Boss Lin know we discovered something?"

"Couldn't I have brought her here myself?"

Ling Yan's lips curled into a playful smile. He lazily sat up from the sofa, leaned forward, looked at Lin Xiyue, and asked her with a smile.

"Tsk, if there really wasn't anything wrong, would you have just sent over some ordinary logistics guy?"

"It couldn't possibly be you. After all, you're probably very busy right now."

Lin Xiyue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile, while she rolled her eyes and continued speaking.

Her words revealed her understanding of Lingyan and the others, and that she had already seen through their intentions.

As Lin Xiyue spoke, she began to assemble the head.

Her movements were skillful and swift. A few minutes later, the head parts that had been made separately were gradually pieced together by her skillful hands, forming the head of a beautiful girl without hair.

"Okay, okay, you're right."

Ling Yan didn't seem to care about Lin Xiyue's sarcasm. He walked over slowly and nonchalantly.

As he walked, he touched the completed puppet parts, touching and stroking them with great curiosity.

Lingyan's behavior gives people the impression that he is unreliable, like a petty hoodlum.

"Meow~"

Just then, Meros, who had been quietly dozing, suddenly let out a cry without warning.

The cry didn't have any particular meaning, just like someone suddenly saying "ah" for no reason.

"Cough cough cough..."

Upon hearing Moros's shout, Lingyan seemed startled, her body trembling violently. She then stopped dawdling, quickly stood up, and walked to Lin Xiyue's side in a few quick steps.

"Okay, I'm here. I'll tell you what happened."

He coughed twice, seemingly trying to ease the tension from before, before speaking to Lin Xiyue.

Lin Xiyue found Ling Yan's slightly flustered movements amusing, and a smile appeared on her lips.

However, she quickly realized that this was impolite, so she hurriedly suppressed her smile, but for a moment, her laughter still clearly reached Lingyan's ears.

Ling Yan naturally heard Lin Xiyue's laughter as well. His face flushed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Heh, it's okay, go ahead and laugh, I don't care."

He waved his hand dismissively and said...

Seeing this, Lin Xiyue gained a deeper understanding of Ling Yan's shamelessness.

However, she didn't continue laughing. Instead, she nodded, signaling Lingyan to continue.

Seeing this, Lingyan took out a thick stack of paper documents from his pocket. These documents looked like they had just been printed, and the paper still smelled faintly of ink.

"Young Master Lin, take a look at this first."

"Lingjiu asked me to bring this to you."

Lingyan handed the document to Lin Xiyue and explained.

"Paper?"

Lin Xiyue took the thick stack of papers with a suspicious look on her face, and couldn't help but wonder to herself.

As she flipped through the papers, she looked up at Lingyan with a puzzled expression, seemingly quite surprised by the paper.

"That's right, it's paper. Although paper is relatively expensive, it is undoubtedly the safest way to transmit information."

Seeing this, Lingyan quickly nodded and answered affirmatively.

"After you've finished reading them, I must destroy these papers according to regulations to ensure the security of the information."

He paused for a moment, then added.

There are two reasons why Lingyan came to deliver these things.

Firstly, he possesses considerable martial prowess and is fire-based, meaning he is fully capable of destroying these items on the spot in case of any unexpected situation, thus preventing information leakage.

Secondly, this was actually a task given to him by Lingjiu. Lingjiu felt that Lingyan's constant presence in front of him was too annoying, so he casually gave him this task so that he wouldn't bother him.

Hearing Ling Yan say that, Lin Xiyue finally focused her attention on the documents in her hands.

She had been somewhat indifferent at first glance, but now she was deeply attracted by the contents of the document.

Just then, a soft "meow~" sound came, and it turned out that Meros was walking over with elegant steps.

It lightly leaped onto Lin Xiyue's shoulder, sat down steadily, and looked at the document with Lin Xiyue.
