Chapter 100: Chapter 88: Plotting

On the other side, Lin Yuan walked out of the western garden and changed into nightwear in a secluded spot.

Having arranged for an investigation, he had already largely understood the channels for child trafficking.

He turned back, leaping over the high wall.

Outside a house in the inner courtyard where girls were being taught skills, he crouched on the roof ridge, watching the overseer from a distance.

However, the overseer constantly prevented the children from escaping, and there were several Martial Artists within his line of sight, making it difficult for Lin Yuan to act.

After about an hour without a chance, Lin Yuan could only lie in wait.

Finally, the overseer went to relieve himself, giving Lin Yuan the opportunity he needed.

In the shadows, Lin Yuan’s silhouette flashed, silently appearing behind the overseer.

With a grab and a push of his right hand.

His right hand pressed the overseer’s neck, pinning him against the wall.

"Spare me, good sir, spare me." The overseer felt the iron grip like a steel claw on his neck, begging for mercy.

"I ask, you answer. Speak too much and you die." Lin Yuan’s voice was hoarse, squeezing his hand forcefully.

The overseer felt the pain but dared not scream loudly.

"Last night, who was served by the girl?" Lin Yuan eased his grip slightly, asking coldly.

The overseer recalled incessantly, but couldn’t remember at first.

"Ah!" His neck was suddenly squeezed tighter, and the pain surged, causing him to cry out softly.

"A guest from Yanyu Pavilion," the name flashed in his mind, and he blurted out.

"Yanyu Pavilion? It was supposedly a brute from Lou Taiyu who wanted her. If you don’t speak the truth, hmph!" Lin Yuan exerted more force, causing the overseer immense pain.

"Good sir, I dare not deceive you. Just one guest requested last night, not a brute but a handsome official. He’s from the high ranks of the Lotus Gang, and he’s still here today. How dare I deceive you?"

"He’s still here, are you truly not lying to me? I heard he’s in Lou Taiyu. I’ll give you one more chance—be honest, or die!"

"Good sir, what I’m saying is the truth." The overseer’s lower body was already foul-smelling, having wet his pants.

"Alright. It seems you were indeed truthful just now, I believe you." A hoarse voice resounded.

Hearing this, the overseer felt a sense of relief, narrowly escaping this disaster.

"Speak the truth, and you may leave!" Lin Yuan’s eyes flashed coldly.

Crack!

Lin Yuan squeezed with his five fingers, snapping the overseer’s neck.

He tossed the body into the latrine, ensuring it wouldn’t be discovered for a while.

"Fourth floor, towards the west."

The overall layout of the western garden surfaced in his mind; after pinpointing the location, his silhouette flashed, appearing on the rooftop.

Lin Yuan’s movement technique had already reached its limits; at this moment, he was like a nimble cat, leaping several times to reach the top of Yanyu Pavilion.

Just as he was about to act, an extremely familiar voice came from below.

The voice was none other than Cheng Xiongjia, who had just faced off against Lin Yuan.

Inside, Cheng Xiongjia was lounging on a circular chair, playing with a jade ring in the lamp light. Four or five subordinates stood with arms crossed, glaring fiercely at a man stripped bare.

The man’s expression was grim, full of indignation.

"Hall Master Ma, I, Cheng, don’t want your money, as long as you focus on listening and doing as I say, there will naturally be benefits, more rewards to follow." Cheng Xiongjia said calmly after fiddling for a while.

"Otherwise, if we bring the young lady here now, what will you do?" Cheng Xiongjia continued nonchalantly.

Hall Master Ma inwardly cursed, having never imagined that the usually silent Vice-Gang Leader Cheng would scheme against him.

If Ying’er were to come over, how could he live well?

"What do you want?" Hall Master Ma’s face showed hesitation.

"Nothing more, you just need to continue pleasing the young lady, subtly reveal your martial talent shortcomings, express a desire to break through to Condensing Yuan but without means. Whisper these to the young lady, that’s all." Cheng Xiongjia’s voice was like a devil’s whisper.

"I don’t want to betray Ying’er." Hall Master Ma’s face fluctuated, gritting his teeth.

Hearing this, everyone in the pavilion couldn’t help but laugh.

"Oh. Haha."

Cheng Xiongjia chuckled lightly, "Now, shall we invite the young lady over?"

"No, no."

Hall Master Ma became nervous, hurriedly waving, "Are you sure not to harm Ying’er? There’s nothing else besides what you’ve just said?"

"Just that." Cheng Xiongjia nodded.

"Alright, alright. I agree." After much inner conflict and consideration, he finally agreed, grinding his teeth.

"I’ll arrange for someone to contact Hall Master Ma at the right time. Should I discover others know of this information, Hall Master Ma, you know the consequences?" Cheng Xiongjia’s expression turned dark, locking his eyes on him.

"Vice-Gang Leader Cheng, rest assured, I, I will definitely do it." Hall Master Ma, with cold sweat, responded tremblingly.

"Then, wish Hall Master Ma much enjoyment, I’ll arrange for two more for you." With that, Hall Master Ma led several people away.

Three confidants stayed behind, keeping close watch on Hall Master Ma.

Soon, two more scantily clad, alluring women entered the room to serve the considerably startled Hall Master Ma.

On the rooftop.

"Cheng Xiongjia’s willingness to wait so long suggests there’s a significant secret." Lin Yuan pondered inwardly.

He had spent quite some time finally reaching here.

It seemed Cheng Xiongjia was deliberately waiting for Hall Master Ma, seizing his leverage to make him a pawn.

"Cheng Xiongjia is targeting the Lotus Gang’s young lady, is there a disturbance within the Lotus Gang?" Lin Yuan was startled.

"This person is extremely crucial, it’s unwise to act rashly. Since I know the arrangement here, hasty actions could obscure the situation. Remaining in the shadows is to my advantage."

With this thought, Lin Yuan memorized this person’s face and slowly departed.

At Lin Yuan’s residence.

Inside the bedroom, an oil lamp remained lit. Zhu Lingshan held a needle and thread, meticulously sewing a winter jacket. She would occasionally glance outside, waiting for the figure she was concerned about to return.

Lin Yuan carefully entered the courtyard, afraid of making noise and disturbing Zhu Lingshan’s rest.

He then noticed Zhu Lingshan’s clumsy needlework. He thought, in the past, her heart was devoted to martial arts and nothing else, unlike other girls who would learn embroidery.

But now, to keep Lin Yuan warm, she had specially learned from Xiao Yun to make a winter robe for him.

Under the oil lamp, Zhu Lingshan was slowly sewing, stitch by stitch.

"Junior sister, it’s late; why not rest earlier?" Lin Yuan felt a warm current in his heart, soothing his mind.

"Hmm, senior brother is back."

Zhu Lingshan halted her hands, seeing Lin Yuan suddenly appear, her weary face broke into a smile.

"Sleep."

Lin Yuan approached, pinched her cheek playfully, and smiled.

"It’s nearly winter, and I can’t sleep at night, perfect to make a coat for senior brother." Zhu Lingshan gently pressed her cheek against Lin Yuan’s stomach, hugging him quietly.

"Then I must thank junior sister." He gently stroked her cheek, and they leaned against each other for a while.

After some time, Lin Yuan picked Zhu Lingshan up in his arms, looking at her blushing face, and kissed her lightly.

Then he walked towards the bed.

Whoosh!

The oil lamp was blown out.

After the passion.

"Sleep now!" Lin Yuan whispered as he saw Zhu Lingshan asleep against his chest.

Brushing her long hair, Lin Yuan once again felt her deep love.

The ties to the Canglan Realm deepened, truly becoming a part of it.
