C52 (1/2)

After returning, Lan Yu and Lin Qianyin both returned to their respective rooms to cultivate. Unknowingly, four days had passed.

At midnight of that day, Lin Qianyin came to find Lanyu again. The two of them strolled in the bamboo forest and saw sparks of fire in the distance.

”Qiao Yin, what's the situation with the matter I asked you to pay attention to?” Lanyu frowned, her voice calm as she asked.

The martial law of the Imperial City searched everywhere for the murderer of the Qi Family members, but it only brought a formless pressure to Lan Yu. Thus, he had Lin Qianyin investigate the news when he left the city.

A worried look appeared on Lin Qianyin's face as she sighed, ”Right now, the Imperial City is still under martial law. I'm afraid that if you leave the city, the Qi Family will suspect you. You should stay in the Lin Residence first to ensure your safety.”

Lanyu nodded. It was the same no matter where he trained, ”Why are you looking for me so late at night?”

”I just want to bring you to the back of the mountain and take a look at the Seven Star Solitary Beast Flame. If possible, you have to subdue it.” Lin Qianyin lowered her head and thought for a moment.

”No.” Lanyu flatly refused, ”Does your father agree?”

”No, if I agree, he will.” Unknowingly, the two of them had arrived at the end of the bamboo forest.

”Catch the thief!”

A hasty male voice came from the distance. Then, over ten servants with torches ran out from the buildings and ran towards the west.

Lin Qianyin's expression greatly changed. She anxiously looked at Lanyu, urgently saying, ”Lanyu, I'll go help.”

”Let's go!” Lanyu's eyebrows furrowed together. The Lin Family Mansion was heavily guarded, how could there be a thief in here?

Lan Yu and Lin Qianyin's movement techniques were peerless. In the blink of an eye, they crossed more than ten meters, and in no time at all, they caught up to the servants.

Lin Qianyin found a servant and anxiously asked, ”Did you clearly see where the thief went?”

First, he stole something from the Treasure House, and now he has fled to the west to view the lake. This damned thief clearly knows the terrain of our Lin Clan, and knows that the defenses there are weak! ”

The Treasure House was a place where the Lin Family kept its treasures. There were many precious items such as spirit medicines, treasures, martial skills and so on. Regardless of whether it was day or night, there were over twenty servants guarding it.

”It seems like that thief's cultivation is not low at all. He could actually sneak into the Treasure Hall to steal something. Everyone be careful, let's chase after him!” Lin Qianyin pondered for a moment before leading her servants towards the shore of View Lake.

As for Lan Yu, his eyes fell onto the back mountain. There was an extremely obscure and cold atmosphere that was detected by the Martial Saint's soul.

”Wait!” Lan Yu paused, waving to everyone to stop.

Everyone was confused as they anxiously looked at Lanyu. Time was precious, they couldn't afford to waste it. If they stopped now, that would be giving the bandits time to escape.

”Qiao Yin, I think this matter is strange. You will follow me to the back of the mountain while the others will go to the View Lake.” Lanyu said.

Now, Lanyu thought that these so-called thieves that the servants were chasing were nothing more than small thieves. The real thieves had already gone to the back mountains! Perhaps, the real thief had played a luring game with the Lin Family! His goal was most likely the Seven Star Single Beast Fire in the secret chamber at the back of the mountain!

Lin Qianyin thought for a moment. Lanyu's perception was far superior to hers. Although she didn't understand what was going on in her heart, she didn't have the time to think about it.

”You guys go see the lake, I'll go with Lanyu to the back mountain.” Lin Qianyin nodded and ordered. Then, she and Lanyu ran in the direction of the back mountain.

When Lan Yu and Lin Qianyin arrived at the chamber at the back of the mountain, they saw that the chamber's thick stone door had already been opened. Moreover, it didn't look like it had been damaged by brute force at all.

Lin Qianyin turned pale with fright, clenching her teeth in anger. Could it be that her Lin Clan's most precious treasure, the Seven Stars Unique Beast Flame, had been stolen?

Lanyu held onto Lin Qianyin, a violent fire energy gushing out of the secret room. It seemed that the Seven Star Solitary Beast Flame hadn't been stolen yet.

After she looked around, her eyes locked onto the top of a tree above the chamber.

A black clothed person was standing on top of a tree with a hook in his hand that exuded a ghastly cold aura. Even in the dark night, one could see that the top of the tree was covered with a layer of frost, emitting specks of starlight.

And right in front of the black-clothed man, Lin Fan's face was as calm as water. He stood on a giant boulder, his purple flute in front of his chest, confronting the black-clothed man.

”Qiao Yin, the Seven Star Solitary Beast Flame is still here. Rest assured.” Lan Yu snuggled close to Lin Qianyin's ear, comforting her in a low voice.

Hearing this, Lin Qianyin's worried heart finally settled down.

The black-clothed man gave Lan Yu an extremely cold feeling. His breath didn't have the slightest trace of emotion, and his movements were also unusually handsome. He had already reached the realm of stepping on leaves and floating body.

”This person is very strong!” Lanyu thought to herself as she pulled Lin Qianyin backwards a bit.

If Lin Fan were to fight with the black-clothed man, Lanyu and Lin Qianyin wouldn't be able to help him in a battle of that level. Here, they would only be a burden to Lin Fan.

”Dad, be careful!”

When Lin Qianyin saw Lin Fan and the man in black, her heart once again leaped into her throat. Afraid that Lin Fan might be in danger, she involuntarily cried out.

Swish!

The black clothed man suddenly turned his head. His cold gaze was like a knife as it cut into Lin Qianyin's body, causing her entire body to tremble.

That gaze was too cold, so cold that there was not even a trace of emotion in it.

”Since you have arrived at my Lin Residence today, do you not dare to reveal your true appearance?” Lin Fan frowned. He had long since sensed the presence of Lanyu and Lin Qianyin, but he hadn't said a word. He wanted the black-clothed man to feel the pressure.

Now, Lin Qianyin had undoubtedly attracted the attention of the black-clothed man. Lin Fan's cultivation was a level lower than the black-clothed man's, so if the black-clothed man were to make a move against Lin Qianyin's Lanyu, he would immediately stop him.
