Walker Of The Worlds Chapter 340 - Lord Cai's Suspicion

Chapter 340 - Lord Cai's Suspicion

Lord Cai nodded his head in agreement. He was also wondering the same thing and couldn't figure out the cultivation base of the thief. Him being able to easily break through the formation like that and exploding a wall was not something he would have ever imagined.

"So what did he steal… or rather, what did he come to steal?" Pei Lao asked again.

"Hmm, that is what I am unsure about too. When I discovered him he was in my bed room and was standing quite close to me. I have no idea how he got inside in the first place, despite the alarming formations. We couldn't find what he came to steal either." Lord Cai answered.

"Senior brother, to get past these formations one would need special spirit tools." Tie Dan spoke.

"Indeed, and he says the thief did not steal anything either… perhaps his aim was something else." The senior brother replied and looked at Lord Cai with a knowing look.

"I had that thought as well. But the strange thing is, not one of my servants or guards were killed, even if they were injured." Lord Cai answered.

"What? Even after you attacked him?" Tie Dan questioned, feeling doubtful.

"Yes, we attacked him with the intention to kill and he still did not act according to that." Lord Cai answered.

"That… is a strange kind of a thief…" Tie Dan said feeling confused.

"Well… there was one thing he said which I did not believe back then," Lord Cai stated.

"And what was that?" The Senior brother inquired with raised brows.

"He said that it was a mistake and if we let him leave no one would get hurt." The old man replied.

"A thief with morals, huh?" Pei Lao chuckled.

"No, it is not like that." Senior brother said while shaking his head.

"Do you think there could be some other reason, senior brother?" Pei Lao asked.

"Hmm, it is a bit unlikely, but I think the thief actually made a mistake. It's possible that his target was not that house, but rather something else." Senior brother responded.

"How can a thief make a mistake about robbing the wrong house?" Tie Dan wondered.

"What if… he was not a thief?" This time Lord Cai spoke.

"Not a thief? What do you mean, do you perhaps have some suspicions?" The senior brother questioned.

In response to this, Lord Cai looked around and saw all the people that were intently listening.

"Seniors, it would be better if we discuss this someplace else, the information is a bit sensitive." Lord Cai said in a low voice.

The Senior brother raised his brows, but then nodded.

"Alright, that would be acceptable." The senior brother agreed.

"If you all are fine with it then, I'd like to invite you all to spend some time at my Establishment. I guarantee you will enjoy your time." Lord Cai said in a slightly elated tone.

"Oh? And what is your establishment?" Senior brother questioned.

"I am the owner of the Alluring Wisteria Pavilion. I believe, seniors have been there…" Lord Cai said in almost a whisper.

The disciples' eyes went wide as they had not expected this old man to be the owner of a pleasure pavilion.

~Cough~

"I believe that would be fine." The Senior brother said while Tie Dan and Pei Lao nodded.

"Please come with me, seniors." Said Lord Cai before ordering, "get the carriage, you imbeciles!"

Lin Mu meanwhile was sitting in his room. He was trying to sense the teleportation channel again and could not feel it anymore.

"Seems like it has gotten quite far." Lin Mu said.

"Hmm, it should be connected fully soon. If you want to do something, you need to act quick." Xukong stated.

Lin Mu nodded and then took out some paper from his ring. He had bought a lot of things today and this was one of them, which he had not expected to be using so quickly. The paper was of a similar quality compared to the one that the disciple Quan Hong had written.

Lin Mu had read the contents of the letter and still remembered them. He started writing the content of that letter while changing some of the parts of it. Namely, the part about the disciples and the junior elder Fa s.h.i.+u not reaching the city.

He changed the parts where it said that they were missing, and no news of them was known. Lin Mu had to write a bit slowly as he was trying to imitate the handwriting of Quan Hong. Lin Mu himself was not that skilled in writing, and using his hand to do it seemed a bit awkward to him.

~sigh~

"It is so much easier to write using my spirit sense." Lin Mu muttered.

Unknowingly, Lin Mu's control over his spirit sense had gotten better than his handwriting.

"Well, there are spirit tools that are specially made for writing too," Xukong added.

Lin Mu nodded his head and made a note of acquiring one in the future if he so got the chance. A few minutes later he was done writing and melted some wax in a heating cup over the candle. He then poured it on the letter's edge before stamping it with the ident.i.ty seal he had stolen from Quan Hong's room.

The wax cooled, and just as this was done, Lin Mu felt something.

"It's happening!" He uttered as he shot up.

Lin Mu appeared on the top of the roof and looked around. Soon he felt a few spatial fluctuations appearing.

"The letter should pa.s.s soon, I can feel it." Lin Mu said before he jumped down and went in the direction of where he felt it could be.

He was running on the roofs when he soon spotted the small black dots appearing the area. They seemed to be arranged in a random pattern, but Lin Mu could sense the teleportation channel that was linking them. The black dots were nothing but the weaker points in the channel.

A couple of minutes later he had found the perfect spot.
