Chapter 365: Chapter 254: Secrets of the Holy Land, Supreme Profound Dao to Saint!_3

"Good, is there anything else you want to say?" Lin Yan took over and said, "If you are done, I should be leaving."

"Nothing else... wait..."

The young thirteenth lord fell silent for a moment, then performed a bow and said, "This morning, in order to let Mr. Lu notice the clues, I acted arrogantly and presumptuously, flamboyantly and rudely, and for this I apologize! I hope Wu Chang, the Inspection Envoy, can convey my apology to Mr. Lu on my behalf!"

"Understood."

Lin Yan waved his hand then slowly retreated back, disappearing into the darkness.

Meanwhile, the thirteenth young lord, looking out at the night through the window, thought to himself, "In High Willow City, whether it’s Mr. Lu or Wu Chang, their methods are beyond expectation. I had considered what way they would use to meet me... Who would have thought it would be so straightforward, eluding the sensing of the Li Family elders?"

——

Leaving the courtyard.

Lin Yan did not open the paper, but frowned instead.

He did not fully trust this young thirteenth lord.

As the new master of the Blessed Land, the Saint Master certainly knew his identity.

Since he kept it from the young thirteenth lord, it also indicated that the Saint Master harbored suspicions towards his own disciple.

"We’ll talk when Mr. Lu returns."

Thinking thus, Lin Yan changed his appearance and headed once more for the Outer South Bureau, and then from there, in the identity of an old chief, he returned to the Observatory Headquarters.

At the same time, in Linjiang Square.

After Mr. Lu had left, the Chief True Man’s gaze slightly hardened.

"What happened just now outside in the courtyard?"

"To Chief True Man, all was quiet, nothing unusual."

"Mr. Lu’s visit was definitely not just for reminiscing. Though we did talk about the current situation in Qifeng Prefecture and the grudge with my junior brother, none of it feels right," said the Chief True Man thoughtfully. "Has there been any movement on the young master’s side?"

The four stewards looked at each other, then all shook their heads.

The Chief True Man thought for a moment and said, "Tonight, Wu Chang, the Inspection Envoy who Mr. Lu heavily relies on, didn’t come? If some matters were to be kept from me to meet the young master, Mr. Lu’s likeliest choice would be Wu Chang!"

"He hasn’t returned to Linjiang Square."

Just then, Li Xuantong spoke up, pondering, "My grandson has been in High Willow City for many days and has managed some informants. He is still in the Observatory Headquarters, dealing with the remnants of the Liu Family together with the Commander and Deputy Commander."

The Chief True Man frowned and asked, "What about Han Zheng?"

Li Xuantong replied, "Han Zheng is at the Outer South Bureau meeting one of the chiefs from the Observatory. My arranged person is watching him and can confirm this without doubt."

On hearing this, the Chief True Man’s frown deepened, "You mean, Wu Chang’s whereabouts can’t be fully confirmed?"

Li Xuantong was initially stunned, then said, "The esteemed Deputy Commander has been secretly dealing with my grandson; we could seek him out for some clear answers!"

"In High Willow City, everyone who has had dealings with Mr. Lu must be checked," the Chief True Man mused. "Only by confirming that the young master has not been in private contact with them can we be at ease!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xuantong grew slightly irritated and said, "This person is dead set on reclaiming the ’blessings of his Gu Family ancestor,’ believing that my Li Family has taken what belongs to the Gu Family, and will eventually become our enemy. Perhaps we should..."

"Shut up!"

The Chief True Man angrily said, "His grandfather, after all, was my teacher! Moreover, since he is a genius accepted by the Saint Master as a disciple, who would dare to harm him easily?"

After a pause, the Chief True Man slowly added, "Being able to spare his life at least lets me know that there is still sentiment for my teacher’s lineage... if he hasn’t turned completely ruthless, then the ’Supreme Profound Dao to Saint’ hasn’t failed!"
