110 Lin Qing Has Disappeared (1/2)

”We better report this to the police,” Shen Jing said trembling. The incident today was too bizarre. Sister Lin was fine just moments ago. In a blink of an eye, she had been kidnapped, and no one knew whether she was alive or dead.

She did not know what to do. If anything were to happen to her…

Mo Wen shook his head. Based on what Shen Jing told him, the person who kidnapped Lin Qing shouldn't be an ordinary person, but an ancient martial art practitioner, and a capable one at that. His Qinggong was impressive.

Jumping off the 25th floor with a woman, a normal ancient martial art practitioner could not pull that off. One had to be at least a Soothing Pulse realm ancient martial art practitioner to be able to do so.

”Last night, when both of you were at Nanjia Temple for the incense ritual, did anything happen?”

Mo Wen looked at Shen Jing thoughtfully. Last night, after the two of them attended the incense ritual, the next day, this happened. Why would an ancient martial art practitioner be eyeing Lin Qing?

”Last night, when Sister Lin and I were attending the incense ritual, we met an old monk. The old monk told the two of us that we had an affinity with Buddha. He wanted us to stay in the temple for three days, before heading back down the mountain. He wanted us to recite prayers and receive Buddha's grace to ward off evil and misfortune, and bring good fortune instead. If we just left like that, we would be doomed.”

Shen Jing pursed her lips as she recalled, saying, ”Both Sister Lin and I thought that the old monk was weird, so we didn't believe what he said. After rejecting him, we left the temple. Then, we encountered a scoundrel. He....he wanted…Sister Lin and I...to...to be his women…” Shen Jing wore an embarrassed look, as she said, stuttering. ”Sister Lin and I naturally took him to be crazy, but we didn't want to cause a scene, so we hastily drove away from Nanjia Temple.”

”Oh right, when we left, the scoundrel said that we two....two…. would sooner or later be his…” Shen Jing bit her lip. Recalling the strange happenings this morning made her shudder.

”Affinity with Buddha? Would be doomed!” Mo Wen sneered. What did the old monk mean? Could it be that he knew that this would happen to the two of them?

”Miss Shen, there is no use reporting this incident to the police,” Mo Wen shook his head and said. This incident was something the police couldn't handle, since it involved an ancient martial art practitioner. Unless they managed to get in touch with the Huatian Palace and let them take care of it. However, this sort of thing would be commonplace. Unless the case had great impact, the Huatian Palace would not bother, unless you could use special connections to get in touch with them.

For martial art practitioners to abuse martial arts was to violate a ban, but it was inevitable that those who were capable would not abide such laws. Although there was the threat of the Huatian Palace from above, they could not possibly oversee everything.

If the effect was not very large, they turned a blind eye to many things. Even if the Huatian Palace was handling this case, by the time their people arrived to look for clues and find the perpetrator, it would have been too late.

”Then, what should we do?” Shen Jing asked anxiously. She also knew that, for a crime scene with very little evidence left behind, the police would also have a hard time cracking the case, especially when the happenings were so strange.

”Miss Shen, if you believe me, don't let news of this incident spread. Leave it to me to handle.” Mo Wen squinted as he said this. Needless to say, this incident was related to the people in the ancient martial arts world of The City of Devils. As for who, though, it was hard to be certain.

Lin Qing was Professor Pan's only daughter. Professor Pan had been his benefactor on more than one occasion, therefore, he couldn't stand by idly. Not to mention that Lin Qing was a good friend of Shen Jing.

”Really?” Shen Jing looked worriedly at Mo Wen. However, she heard the confidence in Mo Wen's tone and felt assured somewhat.

”Hmm, you can just pretend that none of this ever happened.”

Mo Wen nodded his head. He remembered Gu Jingman. This woman was someone from the ancient martial arts world of The City of Devils with a certain amount of influence. Perhaps he could go through her to find Lin Qing's whereabouts. The police might have difficulties finding such information, but for someone in the ancient martial arts world, it shouldn't be hard.
