After saying that, he picked up Lin Shu and left the place with Grandma Lin.
Shortly after they left, Chu Wang brought this person over.
Seeing the empty room, he cursed under his breath.
"Where are we going now?" Granny Lin followed Lin Jingge through the alleys. Fortunately, Lingyun City had a complex terrain with many alleys, so even though the Qian family was large, they wouldn't be able to find them for a while.
"Let's go to the Treasure Pavilion!" Lin Jingge made the decision immediately. If there was anyone in Lingyun City who could protect them beyond the Qian family, it would probably be the people from the Treasure Pavilion.
The owner of the Treasure Pavilion is from the capital city, and has branches in various cities. No one dares to offend them easily.
Lin Jingge had learned all of this recently.
Granny Lin naturally knew the status of Treasure Pavilion in Lingyun City; it was indeed a good place. But why would the other party protect them?
Granny Lin didn't have anything good to give to the Treasure Pavilion.
"Don't worry, Grandma, I have a plan," Lin Jingge gently reassured Grandma Lin.
Lin Jingge never fully trusted Qian Suisui. Although she had offered them a way out, what if it was a trap?
Lin Jingge didn't dare to take the risk with the people around her. She would go at midnight tonight, but she didn't place her hopes on one place.
Thinking of the Treasure Pavilion, the only thing she possessed that could move the Treasure Pavilion and thus protect her was probably something she brought from interstellar space.
The first thing that came to her mind was the energy gun.
Xiao Shi and she were of one mind; at this moment, Xiao Shi was perched on the energy gun.
Upon arriving at the Treasure Pavilion, Lin Jingge explained her purpose, and the person in charge of the Treasure Pavilion indeed showed difficulty, and was about to refuse her after only a short hesitation.
Just as Lin Jingge was about to take out her chips, she suddenly felt a chill in her palm.
She looked down at Lin Shu, whom she was holding hands with, and saw that Lin Shu, who was less than her thigh, blinked his silvery-white eyes at her.
"I'm only staying here for three days. If the city's defenses aren't lifted by then, then it's just bad luck on our part." Lin Jingge placed a small white porcelain bottle, barely bigger than her thumb, on the table.
The person in charge naturally didn't think Lin Jingge could produce anything of value, but since the other party had already made a move, he still had to take a symbolic look.
As soon as the stopper was opened, a fragrant aroma of medicinal pills wafted out.
Before Lin Jingge and the others could react, the person in charge quickly put away the small porcelain bottle.
With a smile on his face, he instructed his servants to take Lin Jingge and the others away and settle them in, a complete change of his previous attitude.
Lin Jingge was still a little confused, but at this point, even a fool would know that the bottle contained something good.
Lin Jingge didn't stand on ceremony with the other party and directly asked for two rooms. Lin Shu followed Lin Jingge as usual.
Fearing that others might overhear, Lin Jingge didn't dare ask Lin Shu what kind of pill it was.
Night fell quickly, and Lin Jingge led Granny Lin, carrying the spirit-sealing stone, to hide at the south gate exit of Lingyun City.
Just as Qian Suisui had said, the city gates opened at midnight.
It's unclear what Qian Suisui said to the people who were closing the city gate, but after they opened the gate, they left.
Qian Suisui, on the other hand, stood guard at the city gate, looking around as if she were waiting for someone.
Lin Jingge's strange emotions grew stronger, and she hesitated to go out.
If she really takes this opportunity to leave, Chu Wang, a man who holds grudges, will probably not let Qian Suisui off the hook.
Grandma Lin didn't urge Lin Jingge. Her granddaughter was old enough to have her own ideas.
However, before Lin Jingge could hesitate for long, the group walked towards Qian Suisui.
Lin Jingge would never forget the figure of that leader.
It's Chu Wang!
Without a second thought, she immediately pulled her head back, turned around, and left.
The group quickly returned to the backyard of the Treasure Pavilion, which was arguably the safest place in the entire Lingyun City.
The Qian family dared to search anywhere, but they dared not offend the Treasure Pavilion.
Back in her room, Lin Jingge tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
She didn't know whether Qian Suisui had unnecessarily brought them here tonight, or whether Chu Wang had noticed Qian Suisui's unusual behavior and sought her out himself.
The tiny spark of friendship that had risen in my heart seemed to be extinguished at that moment.
"Sister." In the darkness, Lin Shu, curled up beside Lin Jingge, suddenly spoke.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you remember the day I advised you not to go to the Qingyang Secret Realm?" Lin Shu lay on her side, her chubby little hand resting on Lin Jingge's arm.
Lin Jingge turned over and met Lin Shu's gaze.
The other person's pure silver eyes seemed to have the ability to see through people's hearts.
Seeing that Lin Jingge remained silent, Lin Shu continued, "The people who approached the Qingyang Secret Realm stele that day were all infected by a black substance. I couldn't tell what it was, but I was certain that it had the power to bewitch people. Miss Qian also had the aura of this black substance on her."
When Lin Shu mentioned this, Lin Jingge was no longer sleepy, and the fog in her heart cleared up considerably.
The changes in Qian Suisui also have an explanation.
She sat up abruptly and turned to look at Lin Shu.
"So what should we do now?"
“After seeing Chu Wang just now, I realized that he is probably the source of the black substance. As long as he leaves Lingyun City, the effect of this thing will gradually disappear.” Lin Shu also sat cross-legged with Lin Jingge.
In an instant, everything came full circle.
Chu Wang's purpose in coming to Lingyun City is probably for the Lin family. If he can't find them in Lingyun City, he will naturally leave.
But now, judging from Chu Wang's expression, he seems certain that she is inside the city.
Lin Jingge was in a complicated mood and couldn't calm down to cultivate. She tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Worried that she would disturb Lin Shu's sleep, she could only get out of bed and sit at the round table in the room.
She rested her chin on her hand and thought through all the recent events in her mind.
Lin Shu's words reminded her, and she did come up with some different ideas.
The Qingyang Secret Realm appeared suddenly, as if it were specially prepared to welcome Chu Wang back to Lingyun City.
If Chu Wang is really as Lin Shu said, then wouldn't he have control over all the talented disciples of Lingyun City and Lingxiao Sect?!
In addition, she was taken to that cave by Lin Shu by mistake, and if it weren't for Xiao Shi, she probably wouldn't have been able to find that altar-like thing.
The "Gods and Demons Fortune-Turning Array" sounds like something bad.
Once the altar is destroyed, the Qingyang Secret Realm disappears. What a coincidence!
She went over the plot of Chu Wang's story in "The Son-in-Law's Immortal Cultivation" in her mind over and over again, but couldn't come up with anything useful.
In the original text, although Chu Wang was not a good person, he always cultivated righteous techniques and had nothing to do with demons.
Lin Jingge felt that something had changed, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
As the night deepened, Lin Jingge fell asleep on the table.
Lin Shu, who had been lying on the bed with his eyes closed, opened them. He took out the Star Pearl and glanced at it. Seeing that the halo around it barely covered the Star Pearl, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
