“Never mind.”
“Let’s see what exactly they intend to do first.”
There weren’t any valuables in Lin Jing’s house; even the only valuable item, the Pill Furnace, was still kept in the System Space, so he just let them do as they pleased.
What was most important was to see their true purpose. If they posed a threat to him, then he must think of a way to remove them both. Thus, Lin Jing watched as two people barged into his house.
“Big brother, there’s nobody here.”
The intruder, Zhang Lin, quickly scanned the room and then spoke in a low voice.
Zhang Sen hurriedly said, “Never mind that now, quickly look for the Spirit
Stone.”
Then the two of them began searching the house. Although it was night, their mid-stage Qi Refinement abilities meant that the darkness didn’t affect them much.
Before long, the entire house had been turned upside down; clothes and miscellaneous items were scattered everywhere, the place was a complete mess.
“There’s nothing…”
“Not even a Pill Furnace. How could this be?”
Zhang Lin looked at the disordered room, unable to believe his eyes.
Zhang Sen lowered his head in thought, then raised it and said to Zhang Lin,
“Let’s go.”
Yet, Zhang Lin was reluctant: “This can’t be. How could there be nothing?”
“It’s not that there is nothing; it’s that he has everything on him. He has a Storage Bag, ” said Zhang Sen with certainty.
“A Storage Bag…!” Zhang Lin exclaimed.
“Yes, indeed. I didn’t expect him to hide it so well; I didn’t see it coming. He’s been on guard against us all along, keeping the fact that he owns a Storage Bag from us.”
Zhang Sen’s tone revealed a hint of helplessness.
“So we’re just going to let it go?” asked Zhang Lin.
“What else can we do? He’s been on guard against us, especially with what happened today, which is too strange. We clearly didn’t see him leave the house, yet he isn’t inside.”
“It’s very likely that he used some other method to deceive us, just like when we first came in. We clearly sensed his presence, but it suddenly disappeared.”
Zhang Sen said this and looked around the room but didn’t find anything unusual.
“Let’s go; let’s leave this place first.”
“Let’s go back. That widow Ning Yue could return at any moment, and we’re not safe here.”
“After we get back, keep an eye on this place. If the widow Ning Yue returns, we’ll act as if nothing happened today and as though we don’t know a thing.”
“But…”
Zhang Sen looked out the window with a cold gaze:
“If Lin Jing comes back first, we don’t have to hold back; just kill him directly. This kid is too secretive; I have a bad feeling about him. We can’t let him live.”
“You’re right, big brother.”
After Zhang Lin agreed, the two of them quickly climbed over the wall to leave.
Before leaving, they didn’t forget to use a Spell to clean up any traces of their presence they had left behind.
After the two had gone,
Lin Jing also exited Observation Mode.
Inside the System Space, Lin Jing’s brows were tightly furrowed as he contemplated his next move.
The danger hadn’t passed yet; he couldn’t leave the System Space just now.
“Those two have murderous intent against me; they definitely can’t be spared,” Lin Jing thought to himself. But as to how to eliminate them, that needed to be carefully considered.
In fact, Lin Jing could use either Ning Yue or Wei Zhengqing to dispose of them.
But that would leave many things unexplained.
For example, how would Lin Jing know their conspiracy and how did he know it was those two who had broken into his house?
