"Have you come to see the Luuo Family before?"

Lin Tian tossed Jiushan Nanzhu into the villa hall and asked coldly.

Simultaneously, he glanced around and finally headed toward a room at the back.

Lin Tian still had some impression of the setup here.

This room was one he had visited before.

It belonged to Luuo Jiachen’s mother, Guan Xiaoqiong.

He had come to treat Guan Xiaoqiong’s illness back then and received information about the whereabouts of the Gold Pearl.

When he had the chance, he needed to visit a place called Coiled Dragon Valley!

"Senior, I’ve seen it... seen it... I also spread some news earlier, and spies from some factions have already caught wind of it. As for which factions, we don’t know. We’re just Japanese people who came to Huaxia and are not welcome here, so we dare not disturb any factions. As for the South Seas side, we don’t know anything!"

"Who would have thought that the Luuo Family would suddenly experience such a dramatic change! I don’t know what happened here either! I think it’s very likely that the Luuo Family got the information first and fled early! These fights should have been conflicts between several factions who came later!"

Jiushan Nanzhu didn’t dare to delay and shouted loudly, "Please spare my life, Senior! I’ll tell you anything you want to know..."

Did they really flee after getting the information in advance?

Lin Tian frowned as he inspected in Guan Xiaoqiong’s room.

The room was still neat and tidy, and even the safe inside showed no signs of being tampered with.

Lin Tian’s Divine Sense probed inside. There was some money and a few stacks of documents, but unfortunately, none of them were important.

The individuals who came later got into a fight but didn’t touch any of the items here?

He immediately dismissed the idea that the Luuo Family had received the information in advance!

Adding to that, the text message he had received earlier.

"What else do you know?"

Finding nothing in Guan Xiaoqiong’s room, Lin Tian reemerged and asked Jiushan Nanzhu.

"I... I don’t know! I know about the various Mortal Forces here in Yanjing, but if it’s about the Cultivation World, I only know about places like Heavenly Sword Pavilion, Seventh Floor, and Yunmeng City. I don’t know about anything else!"

Seeing Lin Tian reappear with a cold expression, Jiushan Nanzhu couldn’t help but tremble all over and said urgently, "If... if everyone in the Luuo Family disappeared into thin air, it’s very likely that people from a major faction like the Heavenly Sword Pavilion came! Only they have the ability to quietly kill or take everyone away and then clean up the place!"

"As for forces from the South Seas and South Sea, they can’t come so quickly!"

Hearing this, Lin Tian couldn’t help but frown.

This left him even more confused!

Primarily—

First, if the members of the Luuo Family were the first to leave and escape, the subsequent conflict would be intense, not just leaving traces of such a small-scale fight in the hall.

Second, the former Family Head Luuo Jingwu, at the Peak of Foundation Establishment Stage, there were traces of superpowers and martial artists, and he couldn’t handle it?

Third, if experts from a major faction like the Heavenly Sword Pavilion came, how could there be only such a small amount of fighting? Wouldn’t they have turned the mansion upside down!

Fourth, the room being so neat and tidy is too strange!

All these doubts left Lin Tian thoroughly baffled!

Could those documents have fallen into someone else’s hands?

Lin Tian furrowed his brow, sighed secretly, feeling a bit helpless.

If he had known back then that the documents contained such a Treasure Map, he would have taken them during his time at Skywind Mountain!

Pfft~

After pondering for a bit, Lin Tian turned and sent out a fierce beam, directly taking Jiushan Nanzhu’s life.

Then, he burned the body to ashes with a burst of flame.

This person was useless to keep around!

Exited the villa.

Lin Tian made another round of the mansion.

Indeed, aside from the fight in the villa hall, there were no other signs of possible combat in the mansion.

"How strange! I’ll have to have Gu WanYin send someone to investigate! When I go to the South Sea later, maybe that Treasure Map will lead to more treasures..."

Finding no clues, Lin Tian sighed lightly, took to the air, scanned the Luuo Family Mansion with his Divine Sense, intending to call Gu WanYin and leave the place.

But when he was halfway up, he came back down.

He quickly made his way to the back mountain ridge of the Luuo Family Mansion.

There.

Under a small stone pit, there was a mobile phone that had fallen there.

"Indeed!"

Lin Tian’s expression darkened slightly as he stepped forward and picked up the mobile phone.

The phone seemed to have fallen heavily to the ground, with many cracks appearing on its case.

The phone was turned off, and Lin Tian tried several times before barely managing to power it on.

Opened the messages.

In the sent messages, there was exactly the message previously sent to Lin Tian!

"The dramatic change in the Luuo Family must have happened while I was still at Sansheng Pharmacy! When I came to the Luuo Family to treat Guan Xiaoqiong, I left my phone number. The one who sent me the message must have been them... Sending a distress message, it shows they encountered a formidable enemy..."

Lin Tian put the phone away, scanned the surroundings with his Divine Sense, but found no clues.

Even any escape traces here were absent.

This was even more bizarre!

Lin Tian circled the area again but still found nothing.

In the end, he could only give up and call Gu WanYin to have someone come and take a look.

Leaving the Luuo Family Mansion, leaving Huairou City, Lin Tian returned to Sansheng Pharmacy.

Hai Yueqing hadn’t returned, and Bu Meengyao was also gone. Lin Tian grabbed some medicine and headed to the Siheyuan.

Arriving at the Siheyuan.

Zhang Shuyan, Lin Zhuruo, and Zhang Chen’s family were sitting in the courtyard.

Zhang Chen, holding a small bowl, was feeding Lin Zhuruo something.

Although she could already walk and move, Zhang Chen insisted on feeding Lin Zhuruo.

Despite her pale, bloodless face and emaciated frame, a faint yet happy smile graced Lin Zhuruo’s face.

Zhang Chen, feeding her, wore a silly grin, his gaze toward his wife brimming with tenderness.

Beside them.

Zhang Shuyan propped her chin with her hands, smiling as she watched her parents, occasionally saying something.

The family sat quietly, occasionally speaking, exuding warmth!

Lin Tian, standing at the doorway.

Witnessing this scene, found himself paused.

"Parents and sister, they must be preparing to return to Xiangjiang. If I have the time, I’ll go to Xiangjiang to be with them... But ultimately, I’m on a different path, a cultivator, walking the Immortal Martial Path, seeking the Path of Immortality, defying fate! One step at a time then..."

Lin Tian sighed softly in his heart, hesitated for a moment before stepping into the Siheyuan.

"Lin... Brother Lin Tian!"

Seeing Lin Tian appear, Zhang Shuyan sprang up, exclaiming in delight.

Zhang Chen and Lin Zhuruo both turned to look.

"You... you came!"

Lin Zhuruo opened her mouth, unsure of how to address Lin Tian, her expression somewhat complicated, she softly called out.

"Thank you!"

Zhang Chen, a simple and reserved man, said few words, stood up, and expressed his gratitude to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian nodded, handed the bag of Chinese Herbal Medicine he was holding to Zhang Chen, and said, "Here are a few courses of treatment. Take it three times daily, and in a few days, you’ll fully recover without any sequelae! I’ll also head to Mizhou City later, so if anything unexpected happens, feel free to call me! Now, could you two step out for a moment? I have something to discuss with her..."
