HELP! These Girls Wants To Kill Me

"Did I say something funny?" Looking at Yang Ze, who was back to his usual self after a burst of laughter, Lin Meilin couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." Yang Ze replied without batting an eye.

"I do not have feelings for her."

"Then…" Lin Meilin was about to speak further when Yang Ze interrupted her.

"The two of them scammed me. There is no doubt about that."

"But I don't really hold a grudge against them." This was Yang Ze's true feelings. The previous body owner died due to his own stupidity. He was scammed because of his own incompetence.

Why would the current Yang Ze care about what happened to him? In his eyes, these two people simply used their skills and wits to achieve what they wanted.

As for the burly man selling him to the Lin family… It was also what he wanted. At that time, going into the Lin family seemed like a smart choice to get all those talents.

"What the hell are you even talking about?" The more Lin Meilin listened to him, the more confused she got. She couldn't help but take a step forward before appearing directly in front of Yang Ze.

"..." Before Yang Ze could even react, she simply used her fingers to pry open his eyelids and looked at his eyes.

"You don't seem drunk or intoxicated."

"Did you perhaps hurt your brain? An internal energy that wasn't healed?"

Listening to Lin Meilin's outrageous words, Yang Ze hurriedly patted her hands away before shaking his head and replying in a hurry.

"I just think that keeping them for forty years in prison is much better than killing them."

"Let them suffer for what they did to me and all other poor people."

"...."

"...."

"You are a strange one, aren't you?" Clicking her tongue in wonder, Lin Meilin waved her hand, and with that, the figure of both the burly man and the woman disappeared.

"Judging by the expression that you showed earlier, you don't seem to like the idea of killing people."

"Is it true?"

"Is the idea of killing people so frightening to you?"

Yang Ze didn't give an immediate reply but stood in silence for a long time. Though there were no emotions on his face, Lin Meilin could feel the turmoil in his heart. And just when she was wondering what lame excuse he was going to give next, Yang Ze spoke a single word.

"No."

"...."

"...."

"I am not frightened by the idea of killing. I just don't think everyone deserves death."

"Why not?" Lin Meilin raised an eyebrow.

"Why do they?" Instead of answering, Yang Ze asked back.

"You seem awfully fixated on this topic."

"Why would you want me to kill those two?"

"Heh." Lin Meilin simply let out a scoff as if she couldn't believe her ears. "Are you seriously asking me that?"

Listening to her question, Yang Ze replied with a nod.

"How about the fact that they scammed you and sold you as a slave?"

"How does that sound for a death penalty?"

"Not enough." Yang Ze simply shook his head in response.

"What they did was bad, but not bad enough to warrant death."

Pausing for a moment, he asked again.

"Why do you want me to kill them?"

"I don't think you caught and brought them here for me, did you?"

With a pause, Yang Ze's eyes suddenly flashed with understanding as he spoke in a low voice.

"You actually wanted me to kill them."

"You wanted to see whether I would kill them or not, didn't you?"

The more Yang Ze spoke, the higher his voice got.

"Why would you do that?"

"...." Listening to Yang Ze's accusations, Lin Meilin didn't answer but quietly gazed at him from top to bottom once again, though this time there was a hint of appreciation in her eyes.

She didn't expect him to guess it correctly in a single go.

And just when Yang Ze was frantically guessing the reason behind Lin Meilin's action, she gave an answer.

"I wanted to see your resolve."

"My resolve?" Yang Ze couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"I wanted to see whether you are capable of killing people or not. I wanted to see whether you are decisive enough or not."

Lin Meilin spoke in a flat tone, while her eyes were still stuck on Yang Ze as her head tilted slightly.

"Why would you do that?" Yang Ze asked.

"To know what kind of person you are. To see whether you will be able to kill Han She or not."

"And judging by what I have seen…" Lin Meilin shook her head with a gentle sigh.

"You should give up on your revenge."

Her words instantly made Yang Ze narrow his eyes.

"If you are this hesitant to kill two people who took advantage of you, then how are you going to kill the person who possesses the body of the person you loved?"

"Who is to say that you won't forgive her?"

"Who is to say that you won't talk about the so-called morality there and back down?"

"So… instead of wasting everyone's time, it is much better to just give up."

Yang Ze quietly listened to Lin Meilin's words. He didn't interrupt her or put forward any other excuse. He simply stood there in silence.

It wasn't until a few minutes passed in silence that he spoke out.

"I will kill her." It was a single sentence, but it was enough to show his resolve.

"You don't have to worry about whether I can do it or not."

"The only thing you need to do is teach me, and if you can't do that, then perhaps the two of us should part ways."

"While I am grateful to you for rescuing me time and time again, I will be better off myself."

"I am not afraid of killing someone…" Yang Ze looked Lin Meilin deep in the eyes before speaking further.

"But that doesn't mean I will go around killing every single person." The more Yang Ze spoke, the calmer his voice got.

"Today, you are pointing at those two fraudsters… tomorrow you might point at some innocent bystanders?"

"Where do you actually draw the line?" Yang Ze didn't just stop there but kept on speaking.

"If tomorrow I go to a bustling city and a child tries to pickpocket me, does that mean I have to kill the child too?"

With a long pause, Yang Ze spoke further.

"The only person I am going to kill is Han She."

"As for whether you want to help me or not… I will leave that decision to you."

Speaking till here, Yang Ze went silent for a long time.

He had decided that he wasn't going to be manipulated by the women around him anymore.

While he was thankful to her for saving him, it didn't mean he was going to do as she said. Especially not after what he had gone through.

It was only because he trusted others too much and listened to everything that they said that he ended up in this situation.

Had he stood up for himself, made his own decision and decided by himself what was right or wrong, Cang Yue would still be alive. It was because he was a pushover that he lost everything.

He got tricked by the women he trusted… people he considered friends, and ended up losing the only person he ever loved.

He wasn't going to make the same mistake again.

If Lin Meilin could teach him, then it would be great, but if she couldn't and wanted him to act according to her wishes, then it would be better for the two of them to part ways. He would find a way in the future to help her out as a repayment for saving his life.

Looking at his firm expression, Lin Meilin was at a loss for words. She didn't expect things to turn out like this.

She was merely testing Yang Ze's limits and whether he was capable of taking a life or not. But who would have thought things would escalate into this?

Lin Meilin could already feel a headache. She could already foresee how difficult things were going to be with him in the future.

For a moment, she was even frustrated with Yang Ze. Why couldn't he simply listen to her? Why couldn't he just do what she asks him to do? Was it necessary to make things this complicated?

"Forget it." The more Lin Meilin thought, the more frustrated she got. In the end, she just shook her head before speaking to Yang Ze.

"Fine… I will not ask you to do anything that you don't want." This was the only way to keep him close. She didn't want him to run around constantly.

"Don't be mistaken." Her voice had a hint of solemnity in it as she spoke. "I only asked you to kill them because I wanted to see the type of person I was going to train."

"And now I do."

With a slight smile on her face, she gently raised her hand to poke Yang Ze on the nose.

"And I know exactly what type of lessons you need."

"I will need some time to prepare our first lesson. In the meantime, you can go and explore the Yuyang City… since those events at the Sword Sect, the world has gone through some changes."

"It would be great for you to be aware of the changes in your surroundings." Gently rubbing his nose, Lin Meilin's figure disappeared into thin air, leaving behind Yang Ze, who just stood there in silence.

—-------------------

"Martirach…" Inside the Lin Family, a middle-aged woman hurriedly knelt towards Lin Meilin after seeing her enter the hall.

"Umm…" Lin Meilin merely nodded in response before looking at the two kneeling figures in the corner of the room.

"Did you find what I asked you for?"

"Replying to matriarch, no, we did not." The middle-aged woman replied hurriedly.

"We searched all over their petty base as well as their house, but we couldn't find it."

*Hmph

With a cold snort, Lin Meilin waved her hand in response.

"Get out."

The middle-aged woman didn't dare to squeak a word. She simply nodded in response before walking out of the room.

It wasn't until she was almost half a mile away that she finally wiped the cold sweat off her forehead and looked behind her in confusion.

"She looked even more irritated than before… was finding that thing really so important?"

Muttering to herself, the middle-aged woman hurriedly made her way towards the main hall of the Lin family. There were still many things that she personally needed to take care of.

On the other hand, Lin Meilin looked at the figure of the burly man as well as the petite woman who were still trembling in front of her before letting out another cold snort.

"What a joke…"

Her words only make the two people even more frightened. They didn't even dare to utter a single word. In front of Yang Ze, they were somewhat confident, but in front of the matriarch of the Lin family, whose strength had surpassed their understanding, they didn't have a single distracting thought.

"Fake identity, fake personality, fake body, fake memory… what about you is true?"

The two of them didn't understand what Lin Meilin was talking about, and they didn't dare to ask. They just stayed in a kneeling position.

"Is this your retaliation against me?" Ignoring their confused expression, Lin Meilin kept on talking to the two people in front of her.

"You really overestimate yourself and underestimate me."

"If you think you can manipulate me…"

Lin Meilin didn't complete her sentence; instead, she merely waved her hand, and with that, the people in front of him disintegrated into dust without ever letting out a scream.

Lin Meilin looked at it all expressionlessly before completing her sentence.

"then you are severely mistaken..."
