In the room.
After listening to Qiao Feng's description, Lin Lichuan couldn't help but ponder.
"From what you've said, those two are most likely members of the Enlightenment, and the one called Deng San is the culprit behind the tragedy in Guanshan City."
"Master, do you want me to go and kill them now?" Zhuofeng showed an eager expression.
Lin Lichuan shook his head with a smile.
Xiu Baixue gently patted her head and said softly, "What's the point of killing them? Those two aren't the higher-ups of the Enlightenment Cult. However, from what they said, the Enlightenment Cult is most likely plotting something in Shang Yuan City. Why don't we take this opportunity to investigate their plans?"
"Then capture them and interrogate them carefully!" Qiao Feng said.
White Snow Sleeve didn't say anything but looked at Lin Lichuan. The latter thought for a while and shook his head. "That's not right. Those two Enlightenment followers, especially the one called Deng San, are ruthless. They can even do that to themselves. Even if we capture them, we might not be able to get the information we want from them. We might even alert them."
"Then what should we do?" Qiao Feng pouted in disappointment.
Lin Lichuan looked at her helplessly. This little girl was the most restless. She always wanted to do something exciting.
"We need to cast a long line to catch a big fish."
Sparrow Bee was puzzled, but White Snow Sleeve immediately reacted. Her eyes flashed as she said, "Master, you mean … to monitor the bacteria?"
"That's right." Lin Lichuan nodded with a smile.
Surveillance bacteria could only be used on targets with a biological energy level less than level 10. As the enemies he encountered grew stronger, he hadn't used it for a long time.
He didn't expect to have a chance to use it today.
"Deng San has lost all his abilities. The fact that he passed the test means that he's no longer an Extraordinary. In that case, surveillance bacteria should be effective on him."
White Snow Sleeve and Qiao Feng were very familiar with surveillance bacteria, and their eyes lit up.
This was indeed the most suitable method. They might be able to smoothly investigate the Enlightenment's conspiracy.
After a pause, Xiu Bai Xue asked again, "Then should we tell the Lu siblings about this?"
Lin Lichuan thought for a moment and shook his head. "Not for the time being. I'll tell them when the investigation is complete."
White Snow Sleeve nodded with a gentle expression.
"The next step is to find a chance to get close to those two people."
.....
The opportunity came quickly.
When it was time for dinner, Lin Lichuan and the Lu siblings entered the dining hall for dinner. As expected, they found Deng San and Wei Ji. The two of them were sitting in two corners of the dining hall, looking like they didn't know each other. They were very low-key.
Seeing this, Lin Lichuan's lips curled up.
While he was taking the food, he passed by the table where Deng San was sitting. The moment he passed by, the bottle hidden under the plate trembled imperceptibly. Countless surveillance bacteria that were invisible to the naked eye rushed out and landed on Deng San.
Without his ability, Deng San, who had lost the keen perception unique to knights, didn't feel anything at all and continued to eat.
During this time, Lin Lichuan found an opportunity to pass by where Wei Ji was sitting. However, to his disappointment, the surveillance bacteria were annihilated the moment they approached Wei Ji's body.
Obviously, Wei Ji's bio-energy level was higher than level 10.
"Well, it's good enough that one surveillance succeeded."
Lin Lichuan collected his thoughts and returned to his seat to focus on eating. After sitting down, he found Lu Qiu looking at him with a smile.
"What's wrong?" Lin Lichuan looked at himself and didn't find anything unusual.
"I keep feeling that you're carrying out some plan behind our backs," Lu Qiu said.
Lin Lichuan was stunned. Was this a woman's intuition?
So sensitive?
When he came back to his senses, he laughed and shook his head. He sighed. "Your intuition is a little too sharp."
"That's right. Little Qiu's intuition has been unusually sharp since she was young. We always say that if anyone becomes her partner in the future, they have to be very careful." Lu Changshan laughed.
As soon as he said this, Lu Qiu's face flushed red. She glared at Lu Changshan.
Lin Lichuan smiled and buried his head in his food.
He didn't explain, and Lu Qiu and Lu Changshan didn't intend to ask. They both knew that if they should know, Lin Lichuan would definitely tell them.
The ship took about ten days to reach Shang Yuan City.
During this time, Lin Lichuan didn't approach Deng San and Wei Ji. Instead, he used the surveillance bacteria to monitor Deng San's movements. Unfortunately, he didn't find anything.
Other than eating three meals a day, Deng San stayed in his room to sleep and rest. He didn't even go to the deck.
After twelve days, the ship finally arrived at Shang Yuan City's port.
The waves rippled gently, and the sparkling sea sparkled beautifully under the sunlight.
Lin Lichuan and the other two disembarked from the ship. As soon as they walked out of the port, someone came up to them.
The person was about fifty years old. He wore a white shirt and a black vest. His appearance was neat and tidy, and his figure was straight. It was obvious that he was a deacon from a rich and powerful family. He quickly walked up to Lu Qiu and Lu Changshan and immediately bowed deeply.
"Young Miss, Young Master, welcome back!"
"Long time no see, Uncle Fu. How have you been?" Lu Changshan smiled.
"Thanks to Young Master and Young Miss, I've been doing well."
Uncle Fu smiled. "Young Master and Young Miss have been away from home for about half a year. The family head and the elders have been thinking about you."
Lu Changshan sighed and said, "I'm afraid that father and the elders want me to do something for them. It's a pity that they wasted my vacation."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Uncle Fu, this is Lu Qiu's and my friend, Lin Lichuan." Lu Changshan pointed at Lin Lichuan and smiled.
"Welcome to Shang Yuan City, Mr. Lin Lichuan!" Uncle Fu bowed slightly to Lin Lichuan and smiled politely.
"Hello." Lin Lichuan nodded to greet him.
After a simple greeting, the group got into a car that was parked not far away. As the engine started, the car left the port quickly and steadily.
"Young Master, where are we going first?"
After the car drove onto the main road, Uncle Fu, who was sitting in the front seat, asked.
"To the villa on 31st Street," Lu Qiu answered.
Lu Changshan looked at his sister in surprise but did not say anything.
Seeing this, Fu Bo nodded and said, "Yes, Eldest Miss."
Lin Lichuan looked at the city outside the car window.
Compared to Bolin City and TuHai City, Shang Yuan City in front of him was more modern. The streets were bustling with people and cars, and there were many shops on both sides of the street.
Perhaps it was because the Dragon God Ceremony was approaching, there were many posters and banners hanging on the streets. The whole city was filled with a joyous and lively atmosphere.
