Unexpected Help

When Lin Xiao woke up in the hotel, it was already evening.

His injuries have been treated at a private clinic.

He dared not go to a major hospital; if the Qin family found him again, he would likely have no way out.

When I woke up, it was already dark.

Lin Xiao casually ordered takeout, and just as he was about to drift off to sleep after eating, his phone suddenly rang.

Looking at the unfamiliar number on his phone screen, Lin Xiao hesitated and didn't dare to answer for a moment.

After all, if the Qin family called, he might reveal his location if he answered rashly.

However, this number was very persistent.

They kept hitting it several times in a row.

When the number rang for the fifth time, Lin Xiao hesitated for a long time before carefully pressing the answer button.

However, he did not speak.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Lin Xiao?" A young man's voice came from the phone.

Lin Xiao remained silent, simply listening quietly.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Lin Xiao? Don't you want to know about Ms. Qin Yanan's situation?"

Lin Xiao, who had been remaining silent, could no longer hold back upon hearing this and quickly asked, "Who exactly are you? How is Sister Ya Nan?"

Upon hearing his urgent inquiry, the man on the other end of the phone finally laughed.

"Mr. Lin, there's no need to be nervous. I mean no harm. My name is Long Yan. I'm the head of the Exorcism Society and Ya Nan's superior."

Dragon Flame? Exorcism Society?

Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously gripped his phone tighter, his eyes still wary as he asked, "Exorcism Society? How did you get my number? What happened to Sister Ya Nan? Is the Qin family making things difficult for her?"

He knew that Qin Yanan's job was special; she had previously been responsible for dealing with evil spirits.

It seems that this exorcism society is her workplace.

Even so, his vigilance did not lessen in the slightest.

"Ya Nan told me about the call," Long Yan said calmly. "She is currently under house arrest at the Qin Family Manor by the Qin family patriarch and is in a bad situation."

Qin Zhenhai, the head of the Qin family, is forcing her to get engaged to Long Jingyuan of the Long family in seven days. Unable to resist, she asked me to contact you, hoping I could help you.

Hearing that Qin Yanan was temporarily safe, Lin Xiao felt a little relieved.

But then he brought it up again, asking with suspicion, "Help us? Since you're from the Exorcism Society and your surname is Long, aren't you a member of the Long family? Why would you help us?"

He dared not easily believe that Qin Yanan was trapped because of a marriage alliance between the Long and Qin families.

If Long Yan were a member of the Long family, there would be no reason for him to go against the family's wishes and help someone who was being hunted down by the Qin family.

Long Yan seemed to have anticipated his doubts and smiled faintly: "Although I am a member of the Long family, I am also the head of the Exorcism Society. I have always acted according to my own conscience and have never interfered in any family matters."

Moreover, Ya Nan is a valuable asset to the exorcism society. I don't want to see her bound by her family, and I certainly don't want to see a capable person buried because of a ridiculous arranged marriage.

He paused, then changed the subject, his tone becoming more serious: "Besides, you saved Yun Chuan before, so this is me repaying that favor to you."

Moreover, the exorcism society is currently short-staffed, and evil spirits are causing trouble more and more frequently. I hope you can join the exorcism society.

Lin Xiao was stunned.

Qin Yanan had previously expressed her intention to invite him to join.

But at the time, Lin Xiao only wanted to avoid trouble and didn't want to get involved, so he refused.

I never expected that I would be invited by an organization like an exorcism society at this time.

Lin Xiao fell silent. Now that he had joined the Exorcism Society, he might be able to obtain more resources and improve his strength faster.

More importantly, they might be able to use the power of the exorcism society to rescue Qin Yanan and fight against the Qin family.

After thinking it over for a long time, he still hesitated and asked, "If I join the Exorcism Society, can I help Sister Ya Nan? The Qin family is very powerful. Can the Exorcism Society really stand against the Qin family?"

"I can't guarantee that I can rescue Ya Nan immediately, but at least if you join the Exorcism Society, the Qin family won't dare to touch you easily."

The Exorcism Society is a state-supported organization; no matter how powerful the Qin family is, they wouldn't dare openly defy the state.

Long Yan smiled slightly, then said firmly, "Moreover, the Exorcism Society has cultivation resources and professional training that can help you become stronger faster."

Only when you are strong enough can you truly protect Ya Nan and truly stand against Qin Zhenhai.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao fell silent.

Long Yan's words kept replaying in his mind.

Now he is desperate; his courtyard has been burned down, and he can no longer drive his car.

More importantly, he was being hunted down by the Qin family.

He urgently needs to raise money to unlock shared cultivation levels.

Joining the exorcism society seems to be his only way out at the moment.

Yes, that's the only hope to save Qin Yanan.

After a moment's thought, Lin Xiao finally took a deep breath, and his eyes became firm.

"Okay, I'll join the Exorcism Society. But I have one condition: I must rescue Sister Ya Nan as soon as possible, and I can't let her be forced to marry Long Jingyuan."

"Deal." Long Yan agreed without hesitation.

"However, for now, let's arrange a place to meet. I'll tell you in detail about the Exorcism Society and discuss ways to save Ya Nan."

The location is a teahouse in the city center, where there are many people and many eyes. The Qin family won't make a move easily, so you can come without worry.

Then, Long Yan gave the address and time of the teahouse, and added:

"Try to keep a low profile and avoid the Qin family's eyes and ears. I will send someone to meet you near the teahouse."

"I understand," Lin Xiao replied in a deep voice.

After hanging up the phone, the confusion and helplessness in my heart gradually dissipated, and my eyes finally regained some sparkle.

I quickly packed my things and changed into some inconspicuous clothes.

He then carefully put away the ring, jade pendant, and the remaining runes before quietly leaving the hotel.

Throughout the journey, he remained extremely vigilant, constantly observing his surroundings.

After confirming that there were no Qin family pursuers, they headed towards the agreed-upon teahouse.

More than half an hour later, Lin Xiao arrived at the teahouse.

Following Long Yan's instructions, Lin Xiao found a corner by the window.

Then, a tall, upright young man dressed in black was seen sitting there.

He has a handsome face, a calm gaze, and exudes a sharp aura.

"Over here!" Upon seeing Lin Xiao, the man stood up and waved.

Lin Xiao glanced around warily, and only after confirming that nothing was amiss did he slowly sit down and lower his voice, asking, "Is that Captain Long?"

"Brother Lin, please don't stand on ceremony, please have a seat."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao sat down warily and nodded, saying, "It's me."

Long Yan poured Lin Xiao a cup of tea and said in a gentler tone, "Brother Lin, there's no need to be so nervous. It's very safe here."
