"What makes you so sure that Tang Rao will definitely follow the route we've set up?"
The Second Son of the Yan Family was naturally suspicious and never fought unprepared battles. Unless he fully grasped Tang Rao's nature, he didn't want to act recklessly this ti.
"Young Master might not know this, but although Tang Rao has many won around him, he is devoted to each one while being romantically inclined. His relationships with the people around him are quite unique. If it was just a matter of repaying a favor, Tang Rao wouldn't marry as a ans to do it."
The only explanation that makes sense is that Tang Rao is genuinely interested in Bei Lin, and that feeling is still fresh, so it won't change anyti soon.
This ans that as long as the freshness remains, Tang Rao will definitely co to East Island for Bei Lin.
The man's words added more to the planning in the Second Son's heart.
It seed to make so sense.
At the ti, he only wanted to personally send Tang Rao to his death. The man's words just now enlightened the Second Son, and after listening to his explanation, using Bei Lin to lure Tang Rao out seems to have a higher chance of success than ever before.
"Alright, let's do as you said!"
The Second Son's mouth, which hadn't changed in a long ti, moved slightly, as if he smiled.
But he was naturally not soone who smiled, and the deliberately pulled-up corners of his mouth made people feel a chilling breeze.
The man smiled bitterly; he knew his mouth would get him in trouble. Despite always reminding himself not to easily speak certain thoughts, due to the Poisonous Insect Poison, anything he thought of, as long as the Second Son wanted to know, he couldn't help but speak out.
In such situations, the man didn't know how many tis he'd faced it. He tried to struggle and resist, but ultimately failed each ti. Eventually, he got used to it and gave up.
He even hated himself, a shell that lost its essence; even if it remained in the world, it would only disgust people.
When the Second Son of the Yan Family assigned tasks to him, his first thought was to die. Only by dying could he avoid being used. But then he realized that dying wasn't so easy. In the past, he had tried, but every ti he had such thoughts, his whole body would hurt, like a thousand insects crawling inside him.
He was tragically stuck, unable to even decide his own life or death. What else could he do?
Regardless of his inner reluctance, he still obeyed the Second Son's orders and set off for North Island.
Chen Jingtian's previous negotiation with Beiyuan failed, and they hadn't established trade relations yet, so the man needed to go through so trouble to enter North Island without being noticed.
Three days later, the man entered North Island, and relying on his own abilities, he quickly reached Tingzhou and found the location of the Kao Shan Sect.
Tingzhou was vast, and Zijing City was vast too. Finding Zijing City in Tingzhou was easy, but getting inside wasn't that simple.
The man knew Bei Lin and what she looked like, but each ti he waited outside the Zijing City Gate, hoping to see Bei Lin co out, his hopes were dashed. After spending so many days on North Island, he hadn't seen her once.
For soone like the man, who worked inefficiently, he would quickly beco a failure in the Second Son's eyes and would be discarded.
The Second Son had used the Poisonous Insect Poison to establish contact with the man, and had already given him a deadline. He told the man that if he didn't make progress within this ti fra, he wouldn't need to return.
When soone says there's no need to return, the man might have been happy if it were anyone else. But coming from the Second Son, who could take his life at any mont, it ant that not even his body would return.
This realization made the man aware that he didn't have much ti left.
"Who are you? I've been watching you sneak around these past few days. What are you lurking for outside?"
The man's mind wasn't on the patrol team mbers at Zijing City. He was still thinking about how he could et Bei Lin in the shortest ti and complete the task given by the Second Son.
The patrol team could take on the security duties of the entire Kao Shan Sect due to their considerable strength.
When the man was alone, he might be sothing, but in front of a patrol team? Probably not so much.
He was apprehended by Sun Miao and his group. Sun Miao asked a couple of symbolic questions, realized that the man wasn't anything good, and decided it was best to deal with him after questioning. Eliminating soone sneaky wasn't a difficult task for the whole Kao Shan Sect.
"I'm here to find soone, but I don't know who to ask, so I've been waiting here for a few days."
The man was clever. Seeing that Sun Miao had no guard against him, he thought that since he was already captured, if they took his life, he wouldn't even have a chance to resist. But if he played the sympathy card and assud a different identity, the outco might be different.
The patrol team's task was to safeguard the Kao Shan Sect and report any news. Since it appeared that Kao Shan Sect was secure, they needed to identify the person he was looking for before reporting back.
"I'm looking for Bei Lin, Lin Lin. I just heard that Lin Lin got married here. I've been in Tingzhou for a few days, and as her brother, I want to see my sister Lin Lin. That shouldn't be too difficult. Please, help out."
The man took out a packet of Purple Crystal and placed it in Sun Miao's hand, showing an attitude of asking for a favor. However, Kao Shan Sect's rules clearly stated that no one could accept any offerings. Anyone daring to accept Purple Crystal at such a ti would surely face dire consequences.
"Are you looking for my sister-in-law Bei Lin?"
A few days ago, Sun Miao acted as Bei Lin's personal bodyguard and accompanied her shopping, becoming acquainted enough to significantly reduce their initial unfamiliarity.
In the past, Sun Miao was afraid of getting beaten by Tang Rao when calling Bei Lin sister-in-law. Now, seeing the relationship between him and Bei Lin, calling her sister-in-law might even make Tang Rao think of Sun Miao as sensible and generous.
The man didn't know what was between Sun Miao and Bei Lin. He was just overjoyed that the first person he asked happened to know Bei Lin's whereabouts.
"Yes, yes, I'm looking for Lin Lin, my little sister. It's been so many years since I've seen Lin Lin. I just want to know if she's doing well."
As he spoke, tears involuntarily fell from his eyes, heartfelt enough to move anyone.
"Bei Lin is your sister? Do you have any evidence or token? If not, I'll have to doubt your credibility and suspect you're a fraud!"
Sun Miao was utterly unrelenting and logical.
What, you're telling I need proof just to see soone?
