Chapter 335 - The Sect's Reasons

Lin Mu thought for a bit and figured out a way to check out the scrolls that were kept on the shelf. First, he went to the room that was next door and confirmed that it really was empty. He had sensed it with his spirit sense but still wanted to verify it.

Then he peeked his head from the wall in the location that was behind the shelf and started reading the scrolls that way. His alertness was at the top and he was ready to blink away the moment the disciple in the room started showing any abrupt movement.

But luckily whatever the disciple was writing was quite important and he did not want to make a mistake or something like that. Looking from the corner, he had only written a small paragraph in a two foot long, one foot wide sheet.

By the time the disciple finished writing half of the letter, Lin Mu was done reading all of the scrolls that were kept there on the shelf. Thankfully, none of them were sealed or it would have become quite difficult for him.

He would just touch one scroll, store it in his ring and go to the other room to read. He repeated this for all twenty two scrolls and found out quite a lot of information. These scrolls were all official messages between the Tri cauldron peony sect and the disciples that were posted here.

Lin Mu learned the reason behind the posting of the disciples here in the Wu Lim city. There was apparently more than one reason for that. The one reason that Lin Mu knew of was the debt that the mayor owed to the Tri cauldron peony sect.

Lin Mu had originally thought that the mayor had a debt because of asking the sect for help during the plague, but that was not it. Rather, the mayor had been buying a lot of alchemical pills from the Tri cauldron peony sect for years now.

But after the plague, he had bought some high grade healing pills from the Tri cauldron peony sect, and apparently they had been bought using credit. The mayor had yet to pay it in full to the sect and had thus given them certain properties and authority instead.

Lin Mu also found out that in the other smaller cities of the county, the Tri cauldron peony sect owned a lot of proprieties. But all of this had been hidden from the public for a long time. Still, Lin Mu couldn’t find fault with the sect for this, they were simply getting the payment for the services they had provided the mayor.

It was the mayor who was at fault here. The mayor had also been giving the yearly funds that he got from the kingdom to the Tri cauldron peony sect. These funds were used for the upkeep of the county’s infrastructure and security.

The other reason for the sect for sending their disciples here was for the wedding, of course. Lin Mu found out that this had been decided a long time ago, and they had been planning for this quite secretly. He couldn’t find the reason for secrecy in the letters, but it was a bit suspicious.

Then came the reason which was quite mysterious to Lin Mu, but the Tri cauldron peony sect paid a lot of importance on this. It was said in the letter that the disciples and the elder assigned here were to keep a look out for some type of spatial disturbances.

This was the point that intrigued Lin Mu the most.

"Spatial disturbances? What could they be looking for exactly?" Lin Mu wondered.

"I think it should be obvious to you by now." Xukong suddenly spoke in Lin Mu’s mind.

"What senior?..." And then it struck him.

"The spatial rifts... I opened in the past year... it’s them, isn’t it." Lin Mu realized it.

"That’s the most likely reason, unless there was someone else also doing that." Xukong replied.

~Sigh~

A sigh escaped Lin Mu’s lips as he wondered if this was a problem or not. There was nothing mentioned in the letter about capturing or obtaining the source of the spatial disturbing, all there was said was that it has to be reported to the sects.

"But how did they find this out?" Lin Mu wondered.

"Well, considering the impact that the ring makes while opening the spatial rifts, it is likely that they became strong enough at one point that one of the higher elders of the sect found out about it." Xukong replied.

Lin Mu then remembered that senior Xukong had put a restraint on the ring and had masked the fluctuations from going from it.

"But it shouldn’t be a problem now, right senior? Since you masked them." Lin Mu asked.

"Yes, there is no way they can find them now, unless they are right in front of you. Or if there are too many spatial fluctuations in the area where you used the ring and they went there." Xukong answered.

~phew~

Lin Mu took a breath of relief and was happy that he wouldn’t have to worry about anything extra.

Lin Mu put the scroll back and had now finished reading all of them. There were also some minor things in general that he had learned that were not of much importance, but he still kept them in his mind if they ever came to use in the future.

Lin Mu was about to leave the room when Xukong stopped him.

"You’re forgetting another letter." Xukong reminded.

"Which one?" Lin Mu questioned.

"The one that is being written right now," Xukong answered in a helpless tone.

"Oh! I... okay," Lin Mu uttered awkwardly.

He then thought of a way to read it discreetly without alerting the disciple. He couldn’t take the letter as he wasn’t even sure that the letter would be put here. It was obvious that it was going to be sent to the sect, thus he had to do it in another way.

Lin Mu looked up at the roof and blinked there while using Phase. After reaching there, he popped in his head from the top and read the thing that the disciple was writing.
