The Master Descends the Mountain: My Destined CEO

Xiao Ye narrowed his eyes slightly. He had two sets of birth characters.

One real, one fake.

The real one, naturally, was known only to him and the Lingxiao Daoist. As for the fake one, it was the one he presented to the public.

It was impossible to guard against every contingency, and having a fake set of birth characters could prevent a lot of trouble.

Many wealthy businesspeople or those with special statuses did the same.

Nowadays, more and more people understood the importance of birth characters. Even celebrities did it, falsifying their children's birth dates.

The two sets of characters were for the same year, month, and day, only differing slightly in the hour of birth.

According to the fake birth characters, he and Lin Chuxing were indeed a fated pair.

Xiao Ye asked, "What, are you trying to make me die alone?"

"Of course not. Don't think I don't know. The appearance of the Golden Saber means that the person whose fate is inextricably linked to it has been sealed!"

"Not long after that dog Lingxiao Daoist found you, he cooked up this whole Golden Saber business. The one who was sealed was you! Without your fated partner, let's see how you're going to break that seal!"

Although the reasoning made sense, Xiao Ye still felt something was off.

"What will it take for you to let Lin Chuxing go?"

"Impossible, unless you find me. But even if you find me, you won't find her!"

With that, Master Que Jin hung up.

It was as if he made this call just to vent by revealing what happened all those years ago.

Something was off. Very off.

This Master Que Jin had been living in hiding for so many years, he was like a sewer rat, unable to survive in the light of day.

'Why would he say so much to me just to vent?'

Instead, it gave Xiao Ye the distinct impression that the man was trying to disrupt his train of thought, deliberately leading him down this particular path.

'So what was Master Que Jin's real objective?'

Meanwhile.

Inside a very luxurious mansion.

A gloomy-faced Master Que Jin looked at his phone.

"I didn't expect Lingxiao Daoist's disciple to be so capable. He actually found me this quickly."

"But what does it matter? Twenty years have passed. It's far too late!"

"That Lin Chuxing is already my pawn! Once she collects all the Golden Sabers, I can seize the Ziwei Star destiny!"

"At that time, I will be the most noble person in the entire world!"

Master Que Jin contentedly lifted his teacup, ambition glittering in his eyes, as if he could already see himself possessing the Ziwei Star destiny.

"If it weren't for the fact that the Ziwei Star destiny can only be seized after the person grows up, I would have made my move long ago. Why would I have waited until now!"

Originally, Master Que Jin had thought that even when Xiao Ye grew up and inherited the Lingxiao Daoist's abilities, he would still be a young man, lacking in cunning.

Then he could simply find a way to collect the Golden Sabers and take his destiny.

But he never expected that dog Lingxiao Daoist to be so formidable. He just randomly picked up a disciple, and it turned out to be a member of the Xiao Family!

It would have been even better for him if Xiao Ye had learned of his identity a little later.

But even now… it wasn't too late!

After all, Lin Chuxing was still in his grasp, and she was his most important pawn!

He had been plotting for this very day for over twenty years!

Thinking of this, Master Que Jin picked up his phone and dialed another number!

「About half an hour later.」

A knock sounded on the door.

Master Que Jin's sinister, ruthless expression instantly vanished, replaced by a surprisingly benevolent look.

Even his voice sounded much gentler. "Come in."

The door opened.

A young woman in her twenties walked in.

If Lin Chuyue could see her, she would definitely recognize that this person was Lin Chuxing!

Although the two sisters were not twins, their facial features were very similar.

The only difference was that Lin Chuyue had a bright and magnanimous air, while this woman was colder and sharper, a hint of viciousness accumulating between her brows!

"Chuxing, you're here." Master Que Jin beckoned with a benevolent smile. "Quick, come sit with me."

"Father." Lin Chuxing lowered her head in a bow.

"There's no need for that. Why must you be so formal with me?"

Only then did Lin Chuxing sit down, her back straight, her expression unchanged.

Her hands rested on her knees, and the thick calluses on the webbing between her thumbs and index fingers were prominent.

Master Que Jin watched her with a loving gaze. "Our Chuxing is all grown up. You're a young woman now."

After speaking, he let out a long sigh. "Unfortunately, I've grown old!"

"You're not old!"

Lin Chuxing looked at him, a hint of gentleness occasionally appearing in her eyes, but it was gone in a flash.

"I am old. You don't need to console me with pleasantries."

Master Que Jin looked at her, the rims of his eyes turning slightly red. "I received some news today. The disciple of the man who tried to harm you before... he has appeared!"

"He's coming for your life, and for mine!"

"I'm old. I might not be able to protect you anymore. Only you can protect yourself."

"And if you want to defeat them, the only way is to gather all the Golden Sabers! Otherwise, you'll be no match for them!"

Lin Chuxing replied coldly, "We already have four Golden Sabers. Another one will be sent back soon."

"But the other four are in the hands of that man's disciple!"

Master Que Jin sighed again. "Back then, that Lingxiao Daoist coveted your fated destiny and wanted to offer you as a sacrifice! He even went so far as to murder your own parents!"

"If I hadn't passed by back then, you would already be dead. Unfortunately, my abilities are limited. I could only save your life, but I couldn't do more."

After speaking, he glanced at his own hand, as if by chance.

Lin Chuxing noticed his gaze, and killing intent instantly flashed in her eyes!

"I will kill them and avenge you!"

"Not for me, you silly child. It's for your parents! For your family!"

"No. You are the only family I recognize. I've never met them, but you are the one who raised me!"

Master Que Jin was very satisfied to hear this answer. This was the fruit of his relentless, daily brainwashing.

The Lin Chuxing of today firmly believed her parents were dead!

She even believed she herself had nearly been killed!

And the person who did all this was the Lingxiao Daoist!

Master Que Jin took Lin Chuxing's hand. "My dear girl, remember this: the Lingxiao Daoist's disciple is named Xiao Ye."

"If he finds you, he will certainly try to get close to you so he can sacrifice you to overcome his own tribulation."

"No matter what, you must remember that he is your parents' murderer and the one who wants to harm you. You absolutely cannot believe a word he says!"

"The Golden Sabers... only by gathering all the Golden Sabers and performing a ritual can we save you, and save me!"

At this, Master Que Jin suddenly shook his head. "No, that won't work. He's the Patriarch of the Xiao Family now. His status is not what it once was."

"You can't oppose him directly. It's better if you leave at once and find a place to hide!"
