That idiot from the Sword Sect turned out to be a lucky charm.

Chapter 154 Exploration

Lin Zhifeng declined to comment on Lin Jun's overly optimistic views.

He felt that even the most open-minded parents would have a struggle in situations like Lin Jun and Zi Su's.

Lin Zhifeng thought with a headache: Once the big shots arrive, this matter will cause quite a stir!

However, no matter how unwilling the parents or elders are, as long as the two parties involved do not waver, the matter can still be accomplished.

Throughout history, in the confrontation between parents and children, it is often the parents who ultimately give in.

Of course, this is on the premise that these are parents who love their children, excluding those who want to gain something from their children, or even worse, those who want to gain financial benefits through their children's marriages.

Fortunately, Lin Jun's parents are very kind people. The couple has an excellent relationship and there is no substitutive parent-child relationship like that between a mother and son, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

Moreover, smarter parents won't use extreme methods to oppose it.

Think about it, how can two people be together without any conflicts? If they're not compatible, they won't be able to stay together and will break up.

But if an external force suddenly appears—like the interference of feudal parents—the young couple will put aside their internal conflicts and unite against a common enemy. At that point, breaking them up will be harder than climbing to heaven.

Lin Zhifeng didn't expect to solve their problem this time, as he knew he wasn't that capable.

He worried that the two hadn't even spoken openly enough, and hadn't reached an internal consensus. How could they possibly withstand the trials and tribulations from the outside world if they weren't?

As it turned out, his worries were entirely correct. Lin Jun was simply unreliable.

If he were to suddenly face the wrath of his father, the Seventh Elder, given his unyielding nature, who knows what kind of trouble he might cause!

Now that the two had talked things out, Lin Zhifeng felt he had achieved his goal. He should leave quickly and give the young couple more time to communicate and come up with a solution.

Before leaving, he reminded Lin Jun: "You must stay calm when things happen and control your temper. When you talk to the Seventh Elder, be quiet and don't argue. Sometimes only the unreasonable ones shout the loudest. He's your own father, so if you can't handle it, just be a little coquettish, it's not shameful."

Lin Jun laughed and scolded, "You're so good at playing the game! Alright, hurry up and leave. Look at you, always worrying about everything! You're still just a kid, but you talk like an old man."

Lin Zhifeng ignored him and said goodbye to Zisu: "Sister Zisu, you should rest well. I have something else to do. Don't worry, Lin Jun's parents are reasonable people and won't make things too difficult for you."

Zisu was touched and smiled, saying, "Okay, I understand. Thank you, brother!"

Lin Zhifeng felt a little relieved, but immediately went to prepare for the evening's operation.

Actually, there wasn't much to prepare, since the most important invisibility pill and the people traveling with us had already been prepared.

But that's just Lin Zhifeng's personality; he needs to prepare in advance when something happens, otherwise he won't feel confident.

Actually, he also wanted to buy two sets of black night clothes from a clothing store before it got dark.

Although I convinced Invisible Dan that it doesn't matter what clothes I wear, isn't this a sense of ritual?

However, he ultimately refrained from doing anything superfluous.

The reason was that he suddenly realized: the city lord of Muyun City had been entrenched here for many years, and there must be his spies everywhere in the city. What if someone saw them buying the night clothes, became suspicious, and reported it to the city lord? Wouldn't the city lord have to increase security? This would make his and Ding Mo's infiltration operation more difficult.

So even though he was incredibly bored, he still held back.

After finally getting dark, Lin Zhifeng and Ding Mo took the invisibility pills produced by the system.

Before long, the pills took effect, and the two of them successfully became invisible.

But before they could even begin, Lin Zhifeng discovered a problem: he and Ding Mo could no longer see each other.

How can this be done?

He originally chose to bring Ding Mo along because he wanted someone to help him out. (We won't discuss who was helping whom.)

Even in the worst-case scenario, if he gets arrested, someone will still come back to report, right?

Now that they can't see each other, how can they keep in sync?

Lin Zhifeng told Ding Mo about his troubles, and Ding Mo said, "Let me hold your hand. Or we can take a long rope and tie our wrists together."

Lin Zhifeng imagined the scene of two grown men holding hands. Although there might only be the physical sensation and no real image, he still found it hard to accept.

You said that anyone could accept shaking hands or hugging a brother in a short period of time.

But their entire operation might take several hours. Just thinking about holding Ding Mo's hand the whole time made Lin Zhifeng's palms sweat.

So he took out a ribbon, tied one end to his hand, and handed the other end to Ding Mo.

After Ding Mo tied it up, the ribbon disappeared after a while.

Now we can finally set off.

The two jumped out of their residence window and, without using their swords, walked to the city lord's mansion.

Before coming, Lin Zhifeng had already given Ding Mo a heads-up. He said, "Senior Brother Ding, our operation might not yield results in a short time. So we'll have to work hard these next few days—we'll probably have to go again tomorrow after today, until we find a clue."

Ding Mo's reply at the time was: "It's alright, I have nothing else to do, I'll keep you company."

Lin Zhifeng was deeply moved at the time. How could there be such a good person?

In Ding Mo's opinion, Lin Zhifeng was also a kind and warm-hearted person.

They could have left Muyun City immediately after rescuing the people, but he risked his life to investigate the truth for the safety of the city's residents.

Regardless of the reason, their friendship deepened as a result.

The two strolled over to the city lord's mansion, just in time for a carriage from the mansion to return that evening.

They both quickened their pace and followed the carriage inside.

Although the city lord's mansion was heavily guarded, it did not have any protective barriers.

Lin Zhifeng had already discovered this when he came to the city lord's mansion to rescue people last time.

If it's just because the city lord of Muyun City is not good at setting up protective barriers, then with his wealth and ability, he can naturally find other cultivators to help set up a powerful protective barrier.

Therefore, the city lord's mansion may have deliberately not set up a barrier.

The reason for this is probably that some person/ghost/some strange thing cannot pass safely through the protective barrier set up by the cultivators; or even that this person cannot survive or is attacked by the barrier if there is one...

In short, this alone shows that there is something wrong with the city lord's mansion.
