Chapter 267: Chapter 256: Mysterious Dimension 11

They got back to the hotel past one in the morning, confusing the receptionist, who couldn’t understand why they were returning so late.

After all, most people went to bed and woke up early at that time. They didn’t stay out too late, especially when there was no such thing as nightlife then.

Upon returning to their rooms, they were all exhausted. Without much conversation, they washed up and went to sleep.

The next day, the five of them sat in the room, planning what to do next.

Yan Mo said, "Last night, when Qin Qi left, she mentioned that her master wouldn’t let us off the hook. Doesn’t it imply that there might be a more powerful ghost controlling her? She also mentioned that the reason the theater caught fire was because she and Tian Sanshao planned a fake death, but somehow she really died on stage. In her eyes, Tian Sanshao was responsible. We need to figure out what actually happened so we can reason with Qin Qi."

After he finished, Xia Xi said, "Then we need to start with this Tian Sanshao, ask him what exactly happened, and initiate the investigation from there.

But Tian Sanshao is held at the Tian Family’s residence, so we need to infiltrate there first."

"Didn’t they say Tian Sanshao studied abroad? We can pretend to be friends he made overseas. After all, the Tian Family cannot possibly know everyone he associated with during his time abroad." Xia Yue immediately suggested.

"That’s a good suggestion, but we need to know where exactly Tian Sanshao studied abroad and what he studied in order to pull off the act convincingly," Yan Mo replied.

"The fact that there is a ghost in the theater is well known in Capital City. I can pretend to be an exorcist and tell the Tian family that Tian Sanshao was seduced by Qin Qi’s ghost, leading him to do all sorts of things. This would allow me to approach Tian Sanshao. I can read fortunes which will keep my cover intact." Wen Ziyin suggested.

"Are you sure you won’t be kicked out?" Xia Yue blinked and asked. It was her first reaction.

"Do I look like a fraud?" Wen Ziyin maintained a poker face as he gritted his teeth.

"Sorry, it was a knee-jerk reaction," Xia Yue apologized sincerely before continuing, "The Tian Family is a power broker in this city. If they listened to what you just said, their first reaction would probably be that you are a fraud and your words are gibberish."

"Eldest Martial Brother, I think Xia Yue has a point. We need to consider it." Xia Xi quickly intervened, noticing the vein throbbing at Wen Ziyin’s temple.

"Even you don’t believe me, Little Martial Sister?" Wen Ziyin uttered with a hint of resentment.

"It’s not about trust. This is not Xia Long country, you are not well-known here. If you barge in, you will indeed be treated as a fraud and kicked out. We need to find a way to let them invite you over. That would be a better way to get close to them," Xia Xi hurriedly explained.

"Let’s gather some intelligence about the city first, then we’ll discuss our next move," Yan Mo felt they knew too little. Acting recklessly could lead to potential problems and it would be better to gather information first.

"Should we split up?" Xia Yue asked.

"Do you know how to gather information?" Yan Mo looked at her and asked.

"No." Xia Yue shook her head honestly.

"Can you take Spiritual Cat to wander around the streets or just stay in the hotel?" Yan Mo asked, finding it inconvenient to bring her along.

"I can do that," Xia Yue nodded after some contemplation.

"Alright." Yan Mo nodded, turning to Wen Ziyin, Xia Xi, and Mo Si, and said, "Since she doesn’t know how to gather information and investigate, she won’t be involved. I’ll investigate the Tian Family, and you guys figure out a way to meet Tian Sanshao, is that okay?"

"No problem with that." Xia Xi nodded.

Mo Si, who was supposed to accompany Xia Xi, also nodded along.

Wen Ziyin had no objections either.
