Chapter 1237 Killing and stealing goods

"But it doesn't make sense to send people to follow and investigate just because of this." Du Xingyu crossed his arms across his chest, his brows furrowed into a big knot.

"Lingzhen Pavilion is a business after all, and they know that harmony brings wealth. It's good enough to leave a few words for the first time. As we have more contacts in the future, we will naturally have more information. Just like the things at the auction, isn't it much more effective than the low-level snooping that is easy to detect? Knowing your identity, Lin Fan, Lingzhen Pavilion should not act impulsively and destroy its own walls. What's more, Jingjing is also a newcomer, she..."

When Du Xingyu said this, he thought of Mu Jingjing, who was also one of the people who was led away to pursue the disciple order, and quickly turned around and asked, "Jingjing, did you find anything unusual that time?"

"No. But it took a while to catch up with him. But the kid didn't have anything in his hands." Mu Jingjing shook her head. "Also, although it was my first time going out, I don't have as many rumors as Lin Fan. It's normal for her to be targeted."

"But how can they be sure that Lin Fan is the one who will catch up with the token in the end?" Shen Xiuyuan wondered, "After all, if the four of you go after him, any one of you could catch up with the right child. Lin Fan only has a one in four chance."

"Speaking of children," Du Xingyu stroked his head, "those children are really good at running. It's obvious that they are organized. But Jinyang is not a wealthy place to begin with, so there's not much money to be made from thieves, let alone these little ones. It's really strange."

"Not surprising." Yu Sinian continued, "During the auction, many people suddenly flocked to Jinyang. Those children may not be local children, but we have a preconceived notion."

"Ah?" Mu Jingjing was surprised. "Even thieves have come into Jinyang Mansion in groups?"

"Three hands, wherever there is interest, there are them." Du Xingyu said. "Wait a minute, the topic has gone off track. I was just talking about who has an urgent need to know more about Lin Fan. Anyway, I don't think Lingzhen Pavilion should be so anxious to do such a thing as soon as they meet."

"Then there is only one option left." Lin Fan said a name calmly. "Young Master Ruilin."

Excluding the unknown, it was obvious that only those few people knew Lin Fan's whereabouts. Excluding the people in the office, Lingzhen Pavilion was impossible, so there was only one last option left.

Moreover, it takes time to mobilize manpower. Compared with Lingzhen Pavilion, Ruilin, who said goodbye at the city gate, did have that time. And he was indeed an ordinary person.

"But didn't he just say goodbye to us at the city gate?" Mu Jingjing was puzzled. "He was so polite and courteous. We traveled together and spent quite a lot of time together. Is it necessary to probe him like this?"

"That person is not an ordinary person," Lin Fan said, "Although he deliberately kept a low profile, it is difficult to change a person's habits in a short period of time. He was waiting for us on the road, which clearly showed that he had some intention, but he did not reveal it along the way. Maybe the time was not right yet."

"When we separated, I could sense that he was still reluctant to leave. But at that time, he couldn't find a suitable excuse to follow me... Maybe that's why he took some backup plan?"

"...Forget it. It's been so long. Who is behind this is not a problem for me for now. I'm sorry that I interrupted Senior Brother Ao's story for so long because of my trivial matters. I hope Senior Brother Ao will forgive me and continue."

Ling Yichen and Ao Hen were both asking who Young Master Ruilin was.

Lin Fan didn't trust them enough, and he didn't want to continue to trace the matter in front of them. If it led to something unspeakable, it would be troublesome. He simply handed the matter back to Ao Hen.

"Hey~ There's no need to be so polite between you and me." Ao Hen leaned back in his chair with a smile, "How can your matter be considered trivial? But since you asked me to talk, I will continue. Where was I... Oh, our first meeting." "I knew it was you as soon as I saw you!" Ao Hen smiled and rubbed his hands happily, "But it was indeed not a good time. Not to mention my bad image, the city guards of Yangfu had already received the news and were investigating martial law in the city. They were about to search our location..."

Ao Hen didn't expect Jinyang Prefecture to react so quickly. He just let a child who had seen him run away, and it was hard to say whether his whereabouts would be exposed. For safety reasons, it was best to run away.

Lin Fan exchanged glances with the people from Changtian Sect.

When the prefect Wei Xian came to apologize later, he said that the reason why Jinyang Prefecture strengthened its defense was because a disciple of Changtian Sect had his token stolen in the street. But in Aohen's words, there was another meaning.

"People from Lingzhen Pavilion," Aohen gritted his teeth, "In order to prevent them from reasonably suspecting me and to completely avoid this trouble, I simply fled three thousand miles away and completely left Jinyang Prefecture. A few days later, I arrived just in time for the auction..."

"Can you clear your suspicion like this?" Lin Fan asked doubtfully, "How could Lingzhen Pavilion not know that cultivators have such means? Since they know, your suspicion cannot be ruled out."

Aohen Xiaoyao stretched out his index finger and shook it left and right: "Didn't I say before that I didn't catch the murder scene, so I only saved the goods."

"So..." Lin Fan thought for a moment, "You didn't kill the people from Lingzhen Pavilion in the first place, so the murder can't be traced back to you. Plus, the treasure wasn't lost... Lingzhen Pavilion was aiming to find the mastermind behind the murder and the robbery, so your identity as a disciple of Youye Sect cleared you of suspicion?"

Ao Hen nodded heavily: "The Lingzhen Pavilion treasure protection team is not a bad team. When I arrived, the fight between the two sides was already coming to an end. It's a pity that Lingzhen Pavilion was one step behind, but the other side didn't win easily either. Many of them died, and those who didn't die were seriously injured. I was the one who made the final move."

The ruthless knife harvested the lives of the wounded without too much difficulty. He had originally gone to check if there were any survivors in Lingzhen Pavilion, but he did not find any living people, but there was something that caught his attention.

"They dared to charge at Lingzhen Pavilion blatantly and wiped out the other side. My intuition tells me that there must be a big conspiracy behind this. The subsequent martial law in Jinyang Prefecture also confirmed my guess." Ao Hen shook his legs. "Although our Youye Sect is never afraid of trouble, we will not cause trouble for no reason. I don't want any benefit from Lingzhen Pavilion, so why should I be affected by its "fishy smell" and cause trouble for myself?"

"The reputation of Youye Sect is indeed useful, but the people of Lingzhen Pavilion have not completely cleared my suspicion. Just like you said," Aohen said to Lin Fan, "The methods of the immortals are endless. Anyone who was not in Jinyang Mansion at the time is suspected. Including me and their group of Taixu Palace. Oh, except you."

"Because we happened to be guests at Lingzhen Pavilion when the incident happened, we have the best evidence?" Mu Jingjing asked.

“Not entirely,” Ao fiercely brushed away the strands of hair that were covering his eyes, “It’s mainly because your realm is not yet at the Golden Core stage. The leader of the treasure protection team is at the mid-Golden Core stage, and you alone cannot kill him.”

Everyone in Changtianmen was silent...

Although it is a good thing to eliminate suspicion, I am inexplicably unhappy for this reason!

Guess what Ao Hen Shun took away? Ling Zhen Pavilion is looking for him because of this thing.

It has appeared before, but the one he held was different.
