25: The real flower thief is actually him

After taking care of the Law Enforcement Hall members, Lin Mu and Lao Mo calmly walked into the inn.

The innkeeper nervously attended to Lin Mu and Lao Mo.

Fortunately, Lin Mu and Lao Mo did not come out after entering their room.

This made the innkeeper breathe a sigh of relief.

Everyone in the inn maintained a tacit understanding, not daring to make any sound.

This calm continued until late at night.

However, this calm was about to be broken as a figure quietly entered.

The Qi emanating from this figure was very faint, and his footsteps were imperceptible.

He entered the inn, and with a few leaps, he arrived in front of a room door.

With a flash of his figure, he passed through the wall and entered the room.

The room's layout was simple; besides tables, chairs, and a wardrobe, there was a bamboo bed with its curtains drawn.

The Man in Black slowly approached the bamboo bed and gently pulled open the curtains.

What met his eyes was a sleeping figure, a beautiful young woman.

Although the room was somewhat dark, the Man in Black could still see the young woman's delicate features.

Just as the Man in Black's mind began to wander, the figure on the bed seemed to sense something and opened her eyes.

Startled, the Man in Black quickly pointed his fingers, and the young woman fainted again.

Although the Man in Black's movements were very concealed, how could he escape Lin Mu's Divine Sense?

As soon as the Man in Black entered the inn, Lin Mu sensed his presence.

Lin Mu was not a nosy person, and he had no intention of intervening.

It wasn't until the Man in Black knocked the woman unconscious that Lin Mu thought of something.

He stood up, and with a flash of his figure, he appeared in front of the woman's room door.

After knocking the woman unconscious, the Man in Black hoisted her onto his shoulder and started to leave.

He opened the door and suddenly froze.

He saw a handsome man in white standing at the door, looking at him.

He recognized this handsome man.

He was one of the two who had massacred the Law Enforcement Hall earlier that day.

He hadn't expected him to suddenly appear here.

The Man in Black naturally knew Lin Mu's power.

However, his risky venture here was out of desperation.

Originally, relying on his concealment Cultivation Technique, he had successfully abducted more than a dozen young girls right under the noses of Qingyang Sect's flying experts.

He had never failed.

It was just that recently, more and more people from Qingyang Sect were sent to Qingyang City.

The entire city was on high alert.

He saw that his Demonic Technique was about to reach Major Achievement, but he dared not act rashly.

He had to be cautious; if this matter were exposed, not only would he be executed, but his Family behind him would also be implicated, possibly even facing annihilation.

Just as he was burning with anxiety, he coincidentally witnessed the conflict between the Law Enforcement Hall and Lin Mu.

Thus, a perfect plan formed in his mind.

That was to divert the trouble!

During the day, the Law Enforcement Hall members publicly accused Lin Mu and Lao Mo of being the culprits behind the missing girls.

And Lin Mu had resisted arrest and killed people.

If another girl went missing from the inn where Lin Mu was staying that night, this would undoubtedly confirm that Lin Mu was the flower thief!

When the Qingyang Sect members arrived after hearing the news, a major battle between the two sides would be inevitable.

At that time, he could fish in troubled waters.

Regardless of who won or lost between them, he would be the only true winner in the end.

His plan was perfect.

But he underestimated Lin Mu's perception ability.

Looking at Lin Mu in front of him, he made a decisive move without hesitation.

He flexed his arms and gave a forceful shake, throwing the woman on his shoulder towards Lin Mu.

Then, without looking back, he ran towards the window, leaped, and escaped through it.

Seeing him run, Lin Mu did not give chase.

He simply caught the woman flying towards him with one hand, holding her in his arms.

Looking at the delicate beauty in his arms, who was pleasing to the eye, Lin Mu had no ill intentions.

He just quietly walked back into the room and placed her back on the bed.

As soon as Lin Mu finished his actions, he saw another figure fly in through the window.

Lin Mu focused his gaze and saw that it was the Man in Black who had supposedly escaped.

At this moment, he lay sprawled on the floor, weak all over, his eyes filled with terror.

As the Man in Black landed, Lao Mo also flew in through the window immediately after him.

As soon as Lao Mo landed, he stepped forward and ripped off the Man in Black's mask.

With his mask torn off, a look of panic appeared on the Man in Black's face.

He knew he couldn't escape tonight, and now he only had to find a way not to implicate his Family behind him.

Lin Mu was also slightly surprised to see the face beneath the mask.

Lin Mu had seen this person in Yunzhou.

He was Lin Xi, a Prodigy of the Yunzhou Lin Family.

He just didn't know what his true intention was in doing this.

Lin Mu slowly stood up and walked in front of Lin Xi.

He asked in a calm tone, "Young Master Lin, were you instigated by someone? Or do you have other motives?"

Lin Xi blurted out, "You know me?" He then realized he had let slip too much.

"Of course, I know you. Tell me your purpose for coming here, and I might leave you a complete corpse."

Lin Xi didn't take Lin Mu's words to heart.

Since death was inevitable, he forcefully turned his head to the other side.

He clearly had no intention of speaking to Lin Mu further, displaying a look of embracing death.

Lao Mo, who was standing beside him, suddenly stepped forward and said, "It doesn't matter if he refuses to speak. I have ways to make him talk."

Ever since he had read the Great Emperor Yun You's Jade Slip, Lao Mo's control over spiritual power and his use of Divine Sense had become masterful.

He stepped forward, placed one hand on Lin Xi's head, and his Divine Sense directly penetrated his brain.

He began to search his memories with his powerful Divine Sense.

Lao Mo's other hand conjured the form-shifting whip.

Under the activation of spiritual power, the form-shifting whip transformed into a mirror about three feet in size.

Through the mirror, he projected all of Lin Xi's memories from his mind.

Lin Mu watched Lin Xi's memories in the mirror and realized he had been wrong before.

Previously, Lin Mu had thought that Lin Xi had seen him and the Cui Family together in Yunzhou City.

He believed Lin Xi's trip was to weaken the Cui Family's strength and frame Lin Mu.

But he hadn't expected that Lin Xi hadn't even noticed him in Yunzhou City.

His purpose for coming this time was merely to find a scapegoat for himself.

It turned out that the notorious flower thief in Qingyang City was actually him.

Lin Mu couldn't help but show a mocking expression: "What esteemed sects and powerful Families? They're all just petty, conniving individuals."

"Lock him in your room for now; there will be another good show later."

The next morning, Xu Liying rubbed her slightly dizzy forehead and slowly sat up.

Suddenly, she remembered something and abruptly pulled back the covers to check herself.

She found her clothes tidy and her body felt fine.

"Was it a dream?" Xu Liying couldn't help but wonder.

Shaking her still heavy head, Xu Liying stood up, leaning on the edge of the bed.

After walking a few steps in the room, she suddenly felt a dull pain in her chest, which instantly reminded her of what had happened last night.

However, she couldn't remember what had happened after she fainted.

Why was she lying on her bed, completely unharmed?

Just as she was trying to figure out the reason, she suddenly heard a shout from outside.

"Thief in the inn, come out and surrender quickly! Today, you have no escape!"
