“Never mind.”

“Let’s see what exactly they intend to do first.”

There weren’t any valuables in Lin Jing’s house; even the only valuable item, the Pill Furnace, was still kept in the System Space, so he just let them do as they pleased.

What was most important was to see their true purpose. If they posed a threat to him, then he must think of a way to remove them both. Thus, Lin Jing watched as two people barged into his house.

“Big brother, there’s nobody here.”

The intruder, Zhang Lin, quickly scanned the room and then spoke in a low voice.

Zhang Sen hurriedly said, “Never mind that now, quickly look for the Spirit

Stone.”

Then the two of them began searching the house. Although it was night, their mid-stage Qi Refinement abilities meant that the darkness didn’t affect them much.

Before long, the entire house had been turned upside down; clothes and miscellaneous items were scattered everywhere, the place was a complete mess.

“There’s nothing…”

“Not even a Pill Furnace. How could this be?”

Zhang Lin looked at the disordered room, unable to believe his eyes.

Zhang Sen lowered his head in thought, then raised it and said to Zhang Lin,

“Let’s go.”

Yet, Zhang Lin was reluctant: “This can’t be. How could there be nothing?”

“It’s not that there is nothing; it’s that he has everything on him. He has a Storage Bag, ” said Zhang Sen with certainty.

“A Storage Bag…!” Zhang Lin exclaimed.

“Yes, indeed. I didn’t expect him to hide it so well; I didn’t see it coming. He’s been on guard against us all along, keeping the fact that he owns a Storage Bag from us.”

Zhang Sen’s tone revealed a hint of helplessness.

“So we’re just going to let it go?” asked Zhang Lin.

“What else can we do? He’s been on guard against us, especially with what happened today, which is too strange. We clearly didn’t see him leave the house, yet he isn’t inside.”

“It’s very likely that he used some other method to deceive us, just like when we first came in. We clearly sensed his presence, but it suddenly disappeared.”

Zhang Sen said this and looked around the room but didn’t find anything unusual.

“Let’s go; let’s leave this place first.”

“Let’s go back. That widow Ning Yue could return at any moment, and we’re not safe here.”

“After we get back, keep an eye on this place. If the widow Ning Yue returns, we’ll act as if nothing happened today and as though we don’t know a thing.”

“But…”

Zhang Sen looked out the window with a cold gaze:

“If Lin Jing comes back first, we don’t have to hold back; just kill him directly. This kid is too secretive; I have a bad feeling about him. We can’t let him live.”

“You’re right, big brother.”

After Zhang Lin agreed, the two of them quickly climbed over the wall to leave.

Before leaving, they didn’t forget to use a Spell to clean up any traces of their presence they had left behind.

After the two had gone,

Lin Jing also exited Observation Mode.

Inside the System Space, Lin Jing’s brows were tightly furrowed as he contemplated his next move.

The danger hadn’t passed yet; he couldn’t leave the System Space just now.

“Those two have murderous intent against me; they definitely can’t be spared,” Lin Jing thought to himself. But as to how to eliminate them, that needed to be carefully considered.

In fact, Lin Jing could use either Ning Yue or Wei Zhengqing to dispose of them.

But that would leave many things unexplained.

For example, how would Lin Jing know their conspiracy and how did he know it was those two who had broken into his house?

After all, they had been quite thorough; they left no trace behind.

Lin Jing sighed:

“It looks like I’ll have to do it myself after all.”

Following that, Lin Jing didn’t go out but started to cultivate directly inside the System Space.

Fortunately, with the time accumulation feature in place and having learned from past experiences, Lin Jing always reserved some time to enter the System Space.

It wasn’t much, just twenty hours, but that was already enough to deal with the crisis Lin Jing was currently facing.

Moreover, Ning Yue and Wei Zhengqing were almost back. With both of them around, the brothers Zhang Sen and Zhang Lin wouldn’t dare to cause trouble.

Soon, Lin Jing, who was cultivating in the System Space, was startled awake by an alert from the system.

“Alert! An intrusion has been detected within the Derimeter. Dlease resoond promptly, Host.”

Lin Jing entered Observation Mode directly and saw the people who had entered his yard.

It was Wei Zhengqing and Ning Yue, and Luo Luo was with them as well.

Wei Zhengqing walked into the house, his face ashen as he observed the disarray inside.

Following him into the house, Ning Yue also frowned at the mess.

Luo Luo, clutching Ning Yue’s hand, expressed her concerns in a soft voice: “Mother, what’s happened to Uncle Lin’s home? Is he all right?”

“There is no smell of blood. It looks like a burglary, or perhaps a search for something.”

“It is very likely that the thief came when Brother Lin was not home, otherwise, the house would not have been left in such chaos.”

After observing the situation, Wei Zhengqing concluded.

“Lin Daoyou is usually very discreet and shouldn’t have provoked anyone. From the looks of it, could it really be a case of burglary?”

After Ning Yue finished speaking, she comforted Luo Luo. “Don’t worry, your Uncle Lin should be fine now.” “Oh,” Luo Luo replied.

Seeing this, Lin Jing exited Observation Mode.

“It’s time to go out.”

Now that Ning Yue and Wei Zhengqing had returned, his safety was assured; it was time to go back.

“System, activate Fixed Point Teleportation.”

It had to be said that the Fixed Point Teleportation feature was indeed very handy.

Quickly, Lin Jing confirmed the teleportation location, spent a few Harvest Points, and teleported out.

The place he chose to teleport to was not far from home.

He quickly returned to his house, found his front door wide open, and, pretending to know nothing, he cried out in shock and rushed inside.

Inside the house, Ning Yue and Wei Zhengqing were cleaning up for him, and Luo Luo was also helping. “Fellow Ning, Brother Wei.”

“What has happened here?”

Lin Jing asked, looking shocked.

“Uncle Lin, you’re back,” said Luo Luo as she ran over to him.

“Uncle Lin, did you know that there has been a thief in your house that made a mess of everything? We are helping you clean up,” Wei Zhengqing said as he addressed Lin Jing:

“Brother Lin, have you offended anyone recently?”

Lin Jing was taken aback and responded, “No, as you know, I rarely interact with others, let alone offend anyone.”

Wei Zhengqing nodded after hearing this.

“Then it must have been a burglary.”

“You are lucky not to have been inside; otherwise, you might have been in grave danger.”

“Such incidents, though not common around the outskirts of Fang Market, are not unheard of.”

Ning Yue also spoke up at this time:

“Fellow Lin, see if anything important is missing.”

Lin Jing reassured, “Fellow Ning need not worry, all my belongings are in the Storage Bag, there’s nothing valuable left around the house.”

“That’s good,” Ning Yue sighed in relief.

“It’s also fortunate you weren’t home, who knows what might have happened..”
