Soon, they boarded a flying boat and arrived near Suzhou City, choosing a sparsely populated place to land.
With every few steps, the willow forest at the entrance of Suzhou city appeared in front of them.
Looking at the willow forest, Li Xiaoyao felt a little sad, as this was the place where they first met Lin Yueru.
At the city gate, two long-haired men wearing leather armor stood on both sides of the gate, each holding a shining knife in their hands, with ferocious expressions on their faces.
However, they neither collect entrance fees nor check packages. They just look at people's foreheads to see if your hairline has receded to the back of your head.
"It looks like Lin Tiannan hasn't found his daughter yet." Qi Yun touched Li Xiaoyao and said, "Also, do you have any special feelings coming here?"
Li Xiaoyao frowned, then shook his head.
"I don't feel anything."
"That's a bit troublesome, like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Just when Qi Yun and his men didn't know where to start, cheers suddenly came from the city.
"He's back! He's back!"
Qi Yun looked around and found that there was no fluctuation of the anchor point in the city. Who was coming? Or did the other party use some method to cover up the fluctuation
"Let's go and take a look." Qi Yun patted Li Xiaoyao and ran towards the Lin Mansion.
Li Xiaoyao held Zhao Linger's hand and followed closely behind Qi Yun.
The city of Suzhou is now crowded with people, and many martial artists who were invited by Lin Tiannan to come and find his daughter are rushing to the Lin Mansion to congratulate him.
This group of people is not as clear as the neighbors in Yuhang Town. Normally, Lin Tiannan has no time to care about them at this point.
But it is more likely that these people are pretending to be ignorant even though they know the truth in order to show off their reputation.
This just happened to be convenient for Qi Yun and the others. Since everyone was gathering at the Lin Mansion, the three of them would not be very conspicuous.
At the gate of the Lin Mansion, the butler stood there with a formal smile, and the gate was crowded with martial artists from all walks of life.
If this matter is not handled properly, Lin Tiannan will be in big trouble, and damage to his reputation will be a small matter.
Li Xiaoyao pulled Qi Yun and pointed to the corner of the wall. There was an artificial bamboo forest there, which was quite dense. It was a good place to sneak in, but the sneaking in would have to be done at night.
Zila~The door of Lin Mansion opened, and Lin Yueru walked out behind Lin Tiannan.
"Dear friends from the martial arts world, please be quiet, be quiet." Lin Tiannan said with a smile on his face.
Qi Yun narrowed his eyes slightly. There was something wrong with Lin Yueru. There was a thin film on her surface that was as undulating as water, as if she was trapped by something.
"Thank you very much for your help. It is because of your help that my daughter was able to seize the opportunity to escape." Lin Tiannan said with a fist salute.
"Alliance Leader Lin, you are too polite. It's mainly because Miss Yueru is so smart~"
"Yes, most people would definitely not be able to seize this opportunity."
"Alliance Leader Lin has a successor."
Listening to the voices of many licking dogs below, Qi Yun leaned next to Li Xiaoyao and said, "Xiaoyao, do you think she is real?"
"I don't know. From the looks of it, she looks like Lin Yueru, but I always feel like it's a little weird." Li Xiaoyao replied in a low voice.
Having been the leader of Shushan for so many years in dreams, it never took him more than a few seconds to see through the illusions of demons, but the sense of incongruity on Lin Yueru's body lingered there no matter how he looked at it.
"Do you want to find an opportunity to observe it closely?" Li Xiaoyao said in a low voice.
"Brother Xiaoyao." Zhao Linger pulled Li Xiaoyao's sleeve.
"The sister above is not a human being."
Qi Yun and Li Xiaoyao turned around suddenly, which scared Zhao Linger.
"Ling'er, what did you see?" Li Xiaoyao asked as he reached for the rapier at his waist.
That’s right, due to time constraints, Li Xiaoyao is still holding the rapier he obtained on the Xianling Island.
"I'm not very clear, but my intuition tells me that the sister is neither a human nor a demon, and there's something wrong with her smell." Zhao Linger said seriously.
Qi Yun and Li Xiaoyao looked at each other and started to retreat at the same time.
Both of them believed what Zhao Linger said. As a descendant of Nuwa, Zhao Linger's ability to identify humans is engraved in her blood.
She is neither human nor demon, and she appears in Suzhou City at this time. So there is only one possibility, that Lin Yueru is the bait thrown by the group of monks.
That group of people are fishing here!
The two fish, Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger, really took the bait just as they thought.
Fortunately, Zhao Linger's identity as a descendant of Nuwa made her sense that something was wrong, giving her the opportunity to spit out the bait for him.
"Everyone, be quiet. After I escaped from danger, I should rest. But before I rest, I must personally thank all the martial arts allies who helped me!"
Lin Tiannan said loudly, then took a step to the right, making room for Lin Yueru’s seat.
Lin Yueru's face was pale, as if she was overly frightened. Of course, it could also be that she was simply pale.
In the few seconds that Lin Tiannan was speaking, Qi Yun and Li Xiaoyao had moved from the front of the crowd to the end. With a little more time, they would be able to escape from this fish pond.
Once out of the fish pond, the roles of hunter and prey should be reversed.
Qi Yun and his team can use this fake Lin Yueru as a starting point to find the group of monks.
"Thank you all for your help. Thank you for your hard work this time." Lin Yueru was saying these polite words to everyone.
Li Xiaoyao lowered his head. Now he could conclude that there was something wrong with Lin Yueru.
He and Lin Yueru had been together for such a long time, and he knew Lin Yueru's personality very well. Even if he wanted to thank her, it would definitely not be the graceful Jiangnan style of apology.
Lin Tiannan stood aside, feeling somewhat relieved that his daughter finally looked like a woman of this era. It seemed that the original plan of holding a martial arts competition to win a bride could be put on hold for the time being.
As she was speaking, Lin Yueru's face suddenly turned pale with fear and she took two steps back. Lin Tiannan quickly supported her.
"Yueru! What's wrong?" Lin Tiannan looked nervous.
"Dad! Those! Those people!" Lin Yueru pointed her finger at the back of the crowd, trembling all over, looking extremely frightened.
The martial artists below turned their heads and looked behind them, their eyes focused on Qi Yun, Li Xiaoyao and the others.
Qi Yun paused for a moment, the other party's true intention was revealed!
"That's them! They're the ones who kidnapped me!"
The scene was silent for two seconds, and Li Xiaoyao held Zhao Linger's hand tightly.
"How dare these people come here! They must want to do something bad to Miss Lin! Brothers, catch them!!!"
Someone in the crowd shouted loudly, and this sentence was like a lit fuse, and the whole crowd exploded.
Driven by the confidence given by numbers, these martial artists rushed towards Qi Yun like crazy.
"Xiaoyao, protect Ling'er." Qi Yun said coldly, "I want to see how many lives this person who plotted against me has!"
