Chapter 2628: Chapter 2629: With Me Here

After much consideration, Lin Yi decided to go have a look.

If there really was gold hidden in his room, he planned to steal some back and make longevity locks for his two children.

The place where Zhang Youfu lived was only about ten meters from Lin Yi’s room.

Lin Yi opened the lock and pushed the door open.

What met his eyes were several packs of toilet paper.

Lin Yi shook his head helplessly. Zhang Youfu’s supplies were really that of a young man.

If it were him, at his age, he probably wouldn’t have that much energy.

Zhang Youfu’s room was decently clean; besides the toilet paper, there was nothing special.

It could even be described as simple.

Lin Yi looked around. Other than under the bed and in the wardrobe, there didn’t seem to be any place to hide things.

Lin Yi scratched his head. The room was empty, so why insist on him staying here for the night?

Could there be a secret room?

Lin Yi remained silent for a long while, recalling some of Zhang Youfu’s strange behavior, feeling that there might be something fishy about this situation.

With that thought, Lin Yi’s gaze became sharp.

He began knocking along the walls of the room.

After over half an hour of inspecting every nook and cranny, he found nothing out of the ordinary.

Finally, Lin Yi gave up, put Zhang Youfu’s matter out of his mind, and prepared to go back to sleep.

Just past one in the morning, a few figures appeared in front of the Blessed Land Gate, dressed in black, stealthily climbing over the fence and entering the Shangqing Palace.

"Everyone, be cautious. Don’t make any noise. Follow my lead throughout," the speaker, standing at the front, was Feng Jiaming, who had previously clashed with Lin Yi.

Zhang Youfu had gone down the mountain because Feng Jiaming and Chen Yuanxing had gathered information about him.

They had created an incident, luring him down the mountain to give Feng Jiaming an opportunity.

Upon hearing Feng Jiaming’s instruction, the remaining four nodded and followed him into the Shangqing Palace.

In the dead of night, with thick clouds in the sky, the moonlight couldn’t shine through.

The five of them moved like black ghosts, stealthily navigating the night without making a sound.

Soon enough, the five reached Zhang Youfu’s door.

Feng Jiaming stepped back, and someone else came forward.

Armed with a wire-like tool, he inserted it into the keyhole.

In less than three seconds, the lock was opened.

Feng Jiaming led two people inside the room, while the other two stayed outside as lookouts, clearly divided in their tasks.

In a nearby room, Lin Yi suddenly opened his eyes, his brow furrowing.

Quietly, Lin Yi peered through the window, saw the two lookouts outside, and his face changed.

It seemed Zhang Youfu’s warning wasn’t without reason; he really was concerned about something.

Coincidentally, as soon as Zhang Youfu went down the mountain, people came, indicating there must be something fishy about this situation.

And what Li Yongnian said about not descending the mountain for five years likely wasn’t just a guess.

It seemed intentional.

Putting everything together, Zhang Youfu might have some hidden secrets.

Lin Yi wasn’t hasty and planned to wait.

Since he had found nothing after searching for over half an hour, these people would likely find even less.

Now, he just needed to wait for them to come out.

About twenty minutes later, Feng Jiaming and the other two exited Zhang Youfu’s room.

From their actions, it was clear they found nothing.

Feng Jiaming waved his hand and said softly.

"Let’s withdraw for now and come back tomorrow."

"Let’s check other rooms too. We prepared for so long; we can’t just leave empty-handed," said the one who picked the lock earlier.

"He’s been out these few days, so he can’t come back so soon. We still have a chance," Feng Jiaming said.

"We must be cautious and not greedy. We can come back tomorrow."

"Alright."

Having made their decision, they quickened their pace to leave.

But after only a few steps, Lin Yi’s voice rang out.

"Visiting us at Shangqing Palace in the dead of night is a bit untimely, isn’t it?"

Hearing Lin Yi’s voice, Feng Jiaming and the others’ hair stood on end, sending chills up their spines.

They turned around mechanically and, seeing Lin Yi behind them, Feng Jiaming’s face changed dramatically.

He had experienced Lin Yi’s ferocity before.

Never did he expect such secrecy could be discovered by him.

"Brother Ming, what now?"

"Damn it!"

Feng Jiaming cursed, a fierce look crossing his face.

"Take him down!"

He knew clearly that he was out of options. If he didn’t take down Lin Yi, he wouldn’t be able to leave Shangqing Palace tonight!

"Damn it, get him!"

The four who accompanied him were handpicked by Feng Jiaming, all quite skilled.

While individually not as strong as Gao Yong from Zhengyi Temple, together their combat strength exceeded his.

All four drew the daggers from their waists and charged at Lin Yi from different angles.

"Be careful. He might have a knife too."

"Heh, when I was playing with knives, he was still in diapers. Tonight, I’ll teach him a lesson."

The one who had picked the lock earlier took the lead and stabbed toward Lin Yi’s abdomen.

Lin Yi stood still, and as he approached, Lin Yi kicked him in the chest.

Thud!

Ah—!

A cry of pain followed as the latter was kicked away, vomiting blood and unable to stand.

The remaining three were stunned.

This level of skill was beyond their expectations.

But Lin Yi didn’t give them time to react.

In less than five seconds, each one was taken down, except Feng Jiaming, who lay on the ground unable to stand.

At that moment, lights in other houses turned on with calls echoing in the air.

People began to come out one after another, led by Li Yongnian.

Seeing the people lying on the ground, the disciples of Shangqing Palace were bewildered, never expecting such an incident.

"Master Uncle? Were they here to steal?"

Lin Yi nodded, "I’ve handled it. Just deal with the aftermath and send them to the police station."

"Understood, Master."

After giving instructions, Lin Yi went back to sleep.

But before sleeping, he glanced at Zhang Youfu’s room.

There was a premonition that Shangqing Palace might harbor an unknown secret.

...

Ring ring ring—

Early next morning at six, while meditating in the back mountain, Lin Yi received a call from Zhang Youfu.

The voice on the other end sounded more serious than ever.

"I heard something happened last night?"

"I’ve got it all sorted. Focus on your work; I have the mountain covered."
