“The work you are doing is what’s important; my test is not a big deal…” Lin
Jing said.
Li Tangyu nodded, then immediately added,
“Alright, Brother Lin, we will take our leave now…”
“We still need to take Little Sparrow back to see my grandfather and the rest.”
“Okay…”
Lin Jing responded.
After saying goodbye to Lin Jing, the two of them left with Little Sparrow.
Having seen off the two guests, Lin Jing returned to the courtyard and not long after, he entered the System Space to engage in alchemy.
Time flew by swiftly, and two days passed quickly.
On this day, Lin Jing was in the middle of alchemy within the System Space when an alert from the system was issued.
“Alert!”
“Intruder detected within the alert perimeter, please respond in a timely manner, host.”
At that moment, Lin Jing was at a critical stage in his alchemy, too busy to pay heed; he did not attend to it further and continued to focus his energies on refining the Elixir Medicine.
rlWvo quarters of an hour passed before Lin Jing completed the Elixir Furnace Medicine.
After the refinement was finished, Lin Jing immediately stored away the Elixir Medicine and then he said,
“System.”
“Enter Observation Mode.”
Subsequently, Lin Jing’s perspective shifted above the small courtyard.
He then moved his viewpoint toward the gate, but found no one there.
“It seems they must have seen that no one was around and left already…” Lin Jing muttered to himself, not really concerned.
Lin Jing then turned his viewpoint around to survey around the courtyard. Finding nothing out of the ordinary, he exited Observation Mode.
Fearing further disturbances, Lin Jing decided not to continue alchemy but instead left the System Space.
Subsequently, Lin Jing began to meditate and cultivate inside the house.
Roughly half an hour later, while he was meditating, Lin Jing suddenly heard a noise from outside.
So he opened his eyes and sent his Divine Sense out.
With this sweep, he discovered that it was Little Sparrow outside.
“It seems that the alert from the system just now must have been Little Sparrow…” Lin Jing thought to himself.
Little Sparrow had returned at some point, indicating that the investigation of the Demon Race’s Secret Realm had concluded, and therefore Little Sparrow had been released to return.
At that moment, Little Sparrow perched in front of Lin Jing’s door, chirping inside.
“Little Sparrow, you’re back…” Lin Jing spoke in response.
He then got up, walked over, and opened the door.
As soon as the door was opened, Little Sparrow gripped Lin Jing’s sleeve in its beak and flew outside.
Lin Jing was initially startled but then realized what was happening and said to Little Sparrow,
“Little Sparrow…”
“Is it that the person I asked you to track has gone to a new location?”
Little Sparrow nodded its head like a pecking chicken.
“Okay, I’ll follow you right now…” Lin Jing said.
“It must be said, Little Sparrow is indeed dedicated; having only just completed the reconnaissance, and without even seeing me, it went straight to tracking.”
“Little Sparrow, you really are busy…”
With Little Sparrow leading the way, Lin Jing followed quickly behind.
In this manner, Little Sparrow led Lin Jing out of the alley and then through the bustling streets of Fang Market.
In the end, they arrived near a grand residence with towering gates, and Lin Jing saw that the courtyard was actually the Liu Clan’s.
Lin Jing then stopped in his tracks.
Afterwards, Little Sparrow gestured insistently towards the Liu Clan’s home to Lin Jing.
“Little Sparrow, are you saying that the person went inside this courtyard?” Lin Jing asked Little Sparrow.
