Chapter 16 Lin Wanyi's Background
It was a simple and direct sentence, but it made the three people from the Sky Patrol Department silent for a long time.

"From the time you entered to the time you came out, it was probably less than thirty breaths. I'm very curious now..."

Chen Chi looked at Gu Zhuo with a strange expression and asked, "What did you two talk about? Why did you come out right away and say something like that?"

"Because the first thing he said to me when he walked in was what you just heard."

Lin Wanyi walked out of the room, her voice calm but slightly tired: "Then I told him that you are trustworthy people and there is no need to hide anything, that's all."

It's that simple.

Chen Chi was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "Although it sounds reasonable, I still think you two did it on purpose. You just heard me curious about what you two would say to me, so you blurted out these words."

"how could be?"

Lin Wanyi smiled and said, "You think too much."

Chen Chi waved his hand, indicating that he would not care about it anymore, and turned to look at Gu Zhuo and asked, "Would it be convenient for you to take us there?"

Gu Zhuo told them the location directly.

The meaning is clear - inconvenient.

"Ok."

Chen Chi understood this very well, so he naturally wouldn't force it, and said, "You two should have a good rest. I'll come and inform you when there's news..."

At this point, he suddenly frowned, looked at Gu Zhuo in confusion and asked: "How can I find you then? Should I come to the Lin Mansion? Or go directly to the inn where you are staying?"

Gu Zhuo was silent.

Lin Wanyi stopped talking too.

There was an inexplicable silence and the atmosphere became a little strange.

Chen Chi stared at the two of them in a daze, wondering if there was something wrong with what they said.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally did not dare to ask any further questions. Instead, he exchanged a few pleasantries and left with his two colleagues to the location given by Gu Zhuo.

The building is not empty even though people are gone.

Lin Wanyi motioned for Gu Zhuo to follow, turned around and walked towards the study on the second floor, and said, "When you were negotiating with me yesterday, you said to me, 'You know what kind of person I am.' You should have remembered this sentence, right?"

Gu Zhuo followed and said, "Of course I won't forget it."

Lin Wanyi asked: "Then do you know what my background is like?"

As she said this, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and her smile was full of undisguised mockery.

If we judge from common sense, after this remark full of disdain and sarcasm, what will follow will be a story filled with infighting among the wealthy families, with the losers being persecuted and forced to leave their hometown - although Wangjing is actually Lin Wanyi's hometown, but all in all... this story must contain many bloody plots that make people sad, cry and angry.

Gu Zhuo didn't think so, because he didn't think Lin Wanyi was a person who liked to tell stories.

He said, “Some, but not much.”

As expected, Lin Wanyi's next sentence was particularly realistic.

"Then let me give you a brief summary. Because the Lin family stood on the right side when His Majesty first ascended the throne, they have been trusted over the years, and their status has risen accordingly. Now they are in their heyday."

"Ah."

"The next thing I'm going to talk about is myself. You can probably understand that... because of my parents, my existence has become a very complicated matter. In fact, most people don't want me to die and are willing to let me live, but I can't live a wonderful life. It's best for me to live like a puddle of mud."

"But today the killer wants you dead."

"Right, so that's the real problem. For most people, a living me is more suitable than a dead me, but that person dared to want me dead, which already says a lot."

"If that man is not a madman, then he has the confidence to ignore the revenge that will follow your death."

Gu Zhuo's description is very objective.

As they were talking, the two of them had already reached the second floor.

Lin Wanyi walked to the window, squinted her eyes slightly, looked at the sky after the rain, and said: "I have never liked to talk about this, mainly because I don't like people to think I am pitiful or miserable. The reason why I am telling you clearly today is because I think you need to know."

"To be more direct..."

Her voice was inexplicably brisk, like the breeze passing through the hallway: "This has already exceeded my expectations. I can't say for sure what will happen next."

Gu Zhuo hummed.

Lin Wanyi suddenly stopped talking. The spring breeze came in through the window, gently brushing the girl's slightly messy hair and ruffling the pages of the old book.

The room fell silent.

I don’t know how much time passed, but suddenly a voice was heard.

"Thanks."

Lin Wanyi turned and looked at Gu Zhuo with a serious tone.

Gu Zhuo understood what she meant and shook his head, saying, "No need."

"why?"

Lin Wanyi frowned slightly and said, "This matter is no longer within the scope of our cooperation. Your willingness to continue to stand by my side is a pleasant surprise to me, because I understand all the self-preservation in this world."

For some reason, she sounded inexplicably emotional when she said this.

"This matter is indeed beyond the scope of our cooperation, but as I said before, I was a little angry at the time, and I did it for my own pleasure."

Gu Zhuo said calmly: "More importantly, I will need to use you in the future, so we must maintain our current alliance."

Lin Wanyi smiled and said, "That's good."

Then, she suddenly stopped smiling and her expression became extremely serious, without any trace of her previous complex emotions.

She asked seriously, "Did you find anything on the killer?"

Gu Zhuo said without thinking: "That person is really poor."

This is the truth, the real truth.

After killing Huang Xinping, he entered the secret room, thinking that Huang Xinping had worked diligently as a killer for nine years and should have saved up a lot of money that could help him out. However, he did not expect... to get almost nothing.

Now that I think about it, most of the money this man earned was exchanged for things like elixirs. He was obsessed with breaking through the realm and entering the realm of truth, so poverty was natural.

"Are you very poor? Well, it's actually okay. You can stay at my house for a while. You don't have to worry about money."

Lin Wanyi comforted him in silence and continued to ask, "So are there any other discoveries?"

Gu Zhuo said: "The assassin is from Wuyou Mountain. He took over the task of assassinating you at the end of last winter."

Lin Wanyi was silent for a while, then said, "These two things... it seems like they don't make any sense even if I know them."

Wuyoushan is not only a killer organization, but also one of the few great demonic sects in the world today. It has always been known for its credibility when it comes to killing people, and there has never been a precedent of exposing the person who bought the knife.

What's more, the identity of the person who bought the knife must be special, with extremely high status and value. In order to establish a stable interest relationship with him, Wuyoushan must increase the degree of confidentiality.

As for why Wuyou Mountain finally sent out Huang Xinping, a killer who had not yet entered the art of warfare, the reason was very simple - this was the cleanest and most traceless approach.

Strictly speaking, practitioners cannot be fully called practitioners before they step into the first realm of truth, because the practitioners at this time have never truly seen the vastness of heaven and earth and have not chosen a path to follow.

Those who have not seen the world and have not ascended the great road are naturally the most innocent and cannot leave any clues for the Sky Patrol to track them down by following their cultivation methods.

Considering Lin Wanyi's realm at this time, Huang Xinping, who has been stuck in Qi Refining for a long time and unable to break through and has rich experience, is undoubtedly an extremely suitable candidate for the killer.

"It's troublesome."

Lin Wanyi sighed.

Gu Zhuo comforted him and said, "Those three people must have been more troublesome than you and me."

Lin Wanyi pondered for a moment and felt that this sentence made sense. He whispered, "So even if you and I want to intervene in this matter, we can't do anything about it for now. It's most appropriate to let the Sky Patrol investigate. So what can we do now..."

When she got to the second half of the sentence, she couldn't help but feel confused. She thought that she was almost stabbed to death, and the whole Wangjing was about to face a storm, but she was in the center of it and could do nothing?
How ridiculous is this?
Gu Zhuo looked at her in confusion and asked, "Why not?"

"Why?"

Lin Wanyi was a little slow to react and said, "Is there anything you and I can do?"

"Of course it's the thing you enjoyed doing most in the past three years."

Gu Zhuo said without hesitation: "It's against Changzhou Academy."

Lin Wanyi was slightly startled when he heard this, but then his eyes brightened up and he asked directly, "Do you want to use the opportunity of my assassination to force Changzhou Academy to hand over the Tongsheng Pill?"
