Chapter 580: Chapter 242: Testing
Li Qingqing glanced at Offering Priest Luo before speaking:
“Uncle Luo…”
“You go back and get ready first, I have something to discuss with Brother Lin Jing, and later you’ll join us for a trip to the Yun Family.”
Offering Priest Luo nodded and said:
“All right, Family Head!”
After saying that, Offering Priest Luo left first.
Once Offering Priest Luo had left, Li Qingqing then spoke, asking Lin Jing:
“Brother Lin Jing…”
“Do you think that my Third Uncle could be colluding with them?”
Lin Jing replied:
“Let’s not think too much for now, we’ll talk after we arrive at the Yun Family.”
Li Qingqing nodded…
Next.
The two didn’t keep Offering Priest Luo waiting for too long, not even half an hour had passed before both were ready.
Afterward.
Li Qingqing, along with Lin Jing and Offering Priest Luo, set out towards the Yun Family.
For this trip to the Yun Family, only the three of them went, without notifying anyone else, nor did they take Lin Jue and Ye Yun with them.
After all.
Lin Jing possessed a cultivation at the Nascent Soul Stage, and even if there were any plots against them, as long as Lin Jing was present, there would be nothing to worry about.
Being prominent families within the same district of Nanshan Immortal City, the Li Family and Yun Family’s residences weren’t too far from one another.
Before long, the trio arrived at the Yun Family.
Upon arriving, Shopkeeper Luo explained the situation, and then a steward from the Yun Family came out to greet them, leading Lin Jing and his party into the Yun Family’s compound.
After entering the Yun Family, the steward led the way, with Lin Jing and his companions following behind, heading towards the Yun Family’s inner court.
As soon as he entered the Yun Family, Lin Jing felt a faint trace of Divine Sense enveloping the group.
Lin Jing immediately understood that it must be the Yun Family ancestor who was currently extending his Divine Sense, surveilling every move they made.
Although he was trying hard to hide it, Lin Jing could still clearly sense its presence.
Apart from this Divine Sense, the entire Yun Family compound was imbued with a strange aura, somewhat reminiscent of Demonic Qi.
This special aura was much more concealed than the Divine Sense that enveloped them, and if Lin Jing’s own Divine Sense had not been so powerful, he would surely not have noticed it.
Lin Jing, while walking, casually looked around as if completely unaware of this.
Lin Jing did not make any rash moves.
Instead, he continued to follow the Yun Family steward deeper inside.
Thus, the three of them followed the steward through the compound, eventually arriving at a hall that seemed to be used for receiving guests.
After bringing the three of them in, the steward then said to Lin Jing and his companions:
“The young master is currently busy, please wait here for a moment…”
After speaking, the steward summoned two maids to attend to Lin Jing and the others, then left the room himself.
After the steward had left, Offering Priest Luo seemed a bit restless.
He moved closer to Li Qingqing before speaking:
“Family Head…”
“What do you think they mean by this? Just leaving us here like this?”
Li Qingqing was very calm, directly saying:
“Offering Priest Luo, stay calm and do not be agitated!”
Meanwhile, Lin Jing, after taking his seat upon entering, began to close his eyes to rest, seemingly indifferent to whatever was about to unfold.
While Lin Jing was resting with his eyes closed, that Divine Sense did not linger for too long before it was withdrawn.
As soon as the Divine Sense receded, Lin Jing’s own Divine Sense stretched out.
He quickly found the steward who had just left them, and surreptitiously left a trace of Divine Sense on him.
Lin Jing kept his Divine Sense on that mark, following the steward as he continued to probe into the Yun Family’s inner court.
The reason Lin Jing did this was two-fold: one was to find out what exactly was wrong with the Li Family that was making him uneasy,
and the other was concerning Li Qingqing’s Third Uncle.
He followed the steward with his Divine Sense in hopes of potentially locating Li Qingqing’s Third Uncle and overhearing their conversation.
After all, it was still unclear whether Li Qingqing’s Third Uncle had truly betrayed the Li Family.
Lin Jing hoped to uncover some information through the steward.
In this manner, Lin Jing followed the steward for quite a distance until he eventually arrived in front of the Yun Family’s inner court.
The inner court of the Yun Family was different from that of the Li Family.
The Yun Family had actually set up a Formation within their inner court, and it was a Fifth-Rank Defensive Array at that.
This Formation was capable of defense and also had the ability to obstruct Divine Sense.
The moment the steward entered the inner court, the Divine Sense mark that Lin Jing had left on him instantly dissipated.
Lin Jing’s own probing Divine Sense was pushed back, blocked outside of the Formation.
There was something very off about the Yun Family.
Having set up a Formation within their own home was one thing, but for it to be of such a high level that it could even block the Divine Sense of someone at the Nascent Soul Stage was quite another.
With the Yun Family ancestor currently there, it was obviously not necessary for Lin Jing to probe any further.
Forcefully continuing to investigate could potentially trigger the array’s response, alerting them and causing more problems than it would solve, so he decided it was better to simply give up for now.
After Lin Jing withdrew his Divine Sense…
The steward who had led them, upon entering the inner court, walked quite a distance further.
He went all the way to the doorway of a courtyard deep within the complex, which was different from the other courtyards.
This area wasn’t just protected by its own separate Formation but was also guarded by two people.
When the steward arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, he said to one of the Cultivators guarding the door:
“Please inform the young master that Li Qingqing from the Li Family has arrived…”
What do you think?
