Chapter 626: Ratting Them Out
Old Feng shook his head at Lin Xuan Qi and said, "There aren’t many travelers coming from Gui Feng here, most are traveling from some other cities."
Lin Xuan Qi had a sip of his tea and pondered.
Having no news was an indication of something by itself.
"Anyone traveling to Gui Feng?" He put down his teacup, glanced at Old Feng and asked.
"There were some who took the risk to travel there, but it might take a while before they come back here." Old Feng replied and filled up his teacup again.
"Thanks. Go and get busy with your work." Lin Xuan Qi said and Old Feng cupped his hands at Lin Xuan Qi before leaving.
Lin Xuan Qi picked up another piece of beef and munched on it while he thought about what to do next.
He glanced at Lee He Song and thought about Chu Xu in Gui Feng City.
Maybe it was time to let them meet again? He thought while he glanced at Lee He Song enjoying his wine.
Lin Xuan Qi, being involved currently with the construction of the shopping mall, couldn’t leave Hong Feng City for now, and Lee He Song was one of his options.
He could also activate Lao Er and Ling Er to check out the surroundings of Gui Feng City for him.
With Lee He Song around, Lee He Song could help keep Lao Er, Ling Er, and the disciples of the South Lin Sword Sect safe while they helped out.
If they could help gather information to determine whether his hunch about the Zhao Geng Nian and the Crimson Wolf Lord’s true objective was correct, he might be able to stop the plan between them.
The fact that he wouldn’t have to give up his resources to the Qing Feng Sect would be a welcome bonus.
Why would he do so when Hong Feng City was actually safe from the Crimson Wolf Lord?
After a few moments of deliberation, he finally made his decision.
"Master Lee, I might need your help later." Lin Xuan Qi picked up his teacup and said.
Lee He Song picked up his wine cup and said, "I’m always at your service, Master Lin."
Lin Xuan Qi downed his tea and Lee He Song did the same with his wine.
After which, Lin Xuan Qi glanced at Lee He Song with a smile and said, "I would need you to make a trip to Gui Feng."
"Gui Feng..." Lee He Song gave out a few fake coughs, his eyes darted around before he glanced back at Lin Xuan Qi.
"Sure... I’ll go as soon as possible. What do I need to do over there?" Lee He Song said while he twirled the wine cup in his hand.
Lin Xuan Qi pretended not to notice what he was doing and said, "I need you to go and find out where the Crimson Wolf Lord is.
"When you find them, take down important information like their locations, how many men there are and whether they have any reinforcements coming.
"Report your findings to both the Governor of Gui Feng and me.
"There will be those from the South Lin Sword Sect doing the same thing under my instructions, keep them safe and help them out when you encounter them."
Lee He Song turned back to his usual self after hearing the instructions and he nodded his head, "I will do so, Master Lin."
"When we get back to the mansion, take some of the talismans and artifacts from me." Lin Xuan Qi said and he picked up another piece of beef.
When both of them finished their lunch, they went to the factories to check on the production line, making themselves appear as normal as possible.
It was best for Lin Xuan Qi not to alert the Qing Feng Sect for the time being.
And when they got back to the mansion, they finished dinner quickly.
Lee He Song went to the lab after dinner with Lin Xuan Qi.
"Here, take these." Lin Xuan Qi handed him some more of the talismans he had and the Sun Emblem together with the Emerald Bamboo Shoot.
"I still have the talismans left from last time." Lee He Song said but Lin Xuan Qi still gave him more.
"You will be there alone this time.
"I wouldn’t be around to help if anything happens.
"Those from the South Lin Sword Sect are only at Qi Concentration Level, so it’s better you have more than enough." Lin Xuan Qi said and Lee He Song nodded his head.
Lee He Song figured that the South Lin Sword Sect must be under Lin Xuan Qi for Lin Xuan Qi to put so much attention on them.
And with that name of ’South Lin Sword Sect’ it was pretty obvious to him that they were.
Lin Xuan Qi sighed and patted Lee He Song’s shoulder, "You could use the talismans and artifacts to protect those that you know in Gui Feng City too."
Lee He Song tilted his head and gave a fake smile at Lin Xuan Qi.
"I err, I will..." He replied hesitantly.
And after that, Lee He Song left the lab to pack for his trip.
Lin Xuan Qi stayed in the lab and made use of the incense urn to try and contact Lao Er and Ling Er.
...
In Gui Feng City, in the main hall of the house that Lin Xuan Qi bought for Lao Er and Ling Er.
Lao Er and Ling Er together with the other disciples were seated in lotus position, busy cultivating as usual.
"Lao Er, Ling Er, are you there?" The familiar low, coarse voice sounded from the incense urn.
Lao Er and Ling Er opened their eyes immediately and they turned around to bow at the incense urn.
"We are here, Grand Ancestor Lin."
"I sense a disturbance in the surroundings of Gui Feng.
"Go out there and see if there are any invaders getting ready to strike.
"Gather the necessary information and send it to my old friend Lee He Song when you meet him.
"Remember to inform the Governor and warn him about the impending danger as well." The low coarse voice said to the surprise of Lao Er and the others.
"Invaders?" Lao Er frowned and he glanced at Ling Er.
Ling Er also had a worried look but they knew that it had to be done.
This might be a great chance for the South Lin Sword Sect to prove their worth beyond what they had accomplished so far.
"We will get it done, Grand Ancestor Lin." Lao Er cupped his hands and replied.
