Chapter 2318: Chapter 2318: So Worriso
“I’ll need to investigate this further. Madam, for now, you must be patient and keep this matter quiet.”
“Mm, I understand.”
The Castle Lord’s wife nodded. She, of course, knew this couldn’t be publicized.
Since it was Lu Tianfeng’s conspiracy, he must still have other sches in motion. If they alerted him now, Lu Tianfeng would only act more covertly with his next moves.
It would be better to pretend as though they knew nothing and observe what, exactly, Lu Tianfeng was planning.
“Castle Lord, I know what to do. But…”
She paused mid-sentence, looking at Lu Tianlan.
“But Lu Tianfeng’s ambition is simply too great. Whatever he’s seeking in the Boundless Forest, I feel we can’t let him succeed. If he truly obtains what he desires, it’ll make things even harder for us.”
She gritted her teeth as she spoke.
Hearing this, Lu Tianlan took a deep breath.
Of course, he understood that. But what exactly was Lu Tianfeng plotting to find in the Boundless Forest?
“Madam, you’d best return for now. Let
summon Nian to discuss our next steps. Only then can we decide how to deal with Lu Tianfeng.”
He said to her.
“Very well.”
The Castle Lord’s wife agreed and left soon after.
…
At the inn, just as Sui Zimo had anticipated, Lin Baizhong soon arrived.
However, Sui Zimo had already set out. In the inn’s room, only Lin Caisang remained, and, naturally, Yue Chushui was keeping her company.
“Sangsang, why are you here alone? Where has Zimo gone?” He looked around but didn’t see his son-in-law, so he asked.
“Sothing ca up. Zimo has gone to the Hundred-snatch Cold Gully. It’ll take three days for a round trip,” Lin Caisang answered.
“The Hundred-snatch Cold Gully?”
Lin Baizhong paused in thought but ultimately said nothing.
Perhaps his cherished daughter had run out of so alchemical ingredient while crafting, and only the Hundred-snatch Cold Gully had it?
“Sangsang, I heard it was you who ntioned the thods behind the murders of those alchemists. What exactly did you say?” he asked.
Today, he ca because of the recent murders of alchemists within Sky City.
He wouldn’t normally disturb his precious daughter.
But then he heard that the murderer’s thod had been deduced by a pregnant woman—who was staying at the very sa inn as his daughter.
Who else could it be but Sangsang?
“Mm.”
Lin Caisang nodded.
“I was just casually talking,” she said.
Lin Baizhong: “…”
This girl, does she realize that her casual remarks might provoke retaliation from the murderer?
It’s entirely possible that she has beco the killer’s next target!
“You really don’t put others at ease. And Zimo, too! How could he leave you alone in the inn like this?”
Shaking his head, he looked at his daughter with resignation.
But what could he do? His daughter was his most treasured one. He could only protect her.
“I’ll be fine. Even though I’m at the inn, I’ll be in the crafting space most of the ti, preparing dicines,” Lin Caisang said.
There was still much to prepare. Heading to the Boundless Forest couldn’t just involve packing food and drinks… surely, more effort was needed?
Elixir pills were still an essential item to prepare in abundance.
“But, Father, this business of heading to the Boundless Forest falls to you now. Isn’t hunting the murderer also your responsibility?” she asked.
At the ntion of “murderer,” Lin Baizhong’s expression instantly darkened.
