Feeling the pressure on her neck, Lin Zao remained calm, looking steadily at the man in black, and slowly spoke:
"When I saw him, he had suffered a severe head injury and lost his memory. The doctor's diagnosis was that he needed to receive acupuncture regularly for six months. Maybe he will have recovered by the time I go back this time."
After hearing Lin Zao's words, the man in black gradually loosened his grip, and the murderous intent in his eyes slowly faded, but he did not completely believe what the person in front of him said.
She knows her own twin brother. Since this person knows about Tianniu Mountain, it means she must have seen her brother, and it's very likely that what she said is true.
My younger brother was really injured and lost his memory, otherwise he wouldn't have told others about Tianniu Mountain so easily.
He came to Luolin this time to search for his younger brother, who had been missing for almost a year with no news coming back. In the past, he would send him a letter every three months.
That's why he guessed that his younger brother might have gotten into trouble. He remembered that his brother's destination was Tianniu Mountain, and he went to investigate later, but found no information.
Disappointed, he left, intending to search elsewhere.
Who knew that the treasure map would suddenly come to light, and that it was related to the Celestial Master's tomb?
He guessed that his younger brother must have been involved in the matter, since the Tianniu Mountain incident was closely related to the Celestial Master incident, and his younger brother was very likely discovered and captured.
Given his younger brother's knowledge of the Celestial Master and feng shui, those people probably wouldn't harm him; they might even take his brother along to search for the Celestial Master's tomb.
After having this guess, he decided to infiltrate the treasure-hunting team. Moreover, he looked just like his brother, so those people would definitely give themselves away when they saw him, making it easier for him to find them later.
By chance, they learned that Prefect Li Zheng was recruiting heroes from all walks of life to search for treasure.
That's why he came to the prefect to recommend himself.
Of course, this is the worst-case scenario. If his younger brother is alright, given his personality, he will definitely get involved in this treasure hunt as well.
That's why he suppressed his murderous intent and lingered around the prefect. If it weren't for finding his foolish younger brother, he would have cut off Li Zheng's head and hung it on the city gate to dry in the sun long ago.
But then, unexpectedly, the person in front of her told her that her younger brother had truly become mentally unstable and was even receiving treatment at her home...
The man in black was caught off guard. Before anything even started, the person behind it had actually appeared in front of him. Did she have some deeper conspiracy?
Yes, the man in black believed that Lin Zao was a traitor. Since she knew about Tianniu Mountain, she might have already obtained what she needed there.
Her reappearance here indicates that her target is the Celestial Master's Tomb, and that her younger brother was likely captured by her as well.
Unfortunately, her younger brother was injured and lost his memory, so she couldn't get any other information out of him. Now that he saw her, he guessed the relationship between her and her brother, and that's why he's targeting her.
Various guesses flashed through the man in black's mind, and he was convinced that Lin Zao's motives were impure.
But in order to find his younger brother, he had to cooperate with the person in front of him first, and only after finding him...
Thinking of this, the man in black slightly lowered his eyes, concealing the murderous intent within them.
Lin Zao had no idea that the young man in black had made so many connections in just a moment. If he had known, he would probably have been speechless.
Fortunately, Lin Zao was unaware of this and thought the young master in black was doubting her words.
"I should be leaving tomorrow. If you wish to see someone, please meet me outside the city gate."
Lin Zao left behind a sentence, then, ignoring the stunned look on the man in black's face, slipped away.
Man in black: ? ? ?
Your destination is not the Tomb of the Celestial Master?
