Chapter 513: Chapter 475: Asking for Advice

"Aunt Xin said you’ll get used to it, but I think eavesdropping is something one should never get used to."

"Don’t worry, as soon as the matter is settled, this kind of situation won’t happen again."

At this time, the street was empty, and Tian Lin and Mei Xianfu entered a courtyard together.

There was an abandoned well in the courtyard, but this well was obviously not the one Mei Xianfu had taken him to last time.

In the morning, they had brought Aunt Xin and a few others with them, but by the afternoon, they finally used the excuse of splitting up to search, to shake them off.

Even though there were no longer any tagalongs, Tian Lin still did not rashly head to the real secret well.

He leisurely walked over to the abandoned well, first brushing off the dust on the well’s edge, then leaned over to look into the bottom of the well: "Do you think this well could lead to the Goddess Sect?"

Mei Xianfu frowned, looking at Tian Lin: "Are you joking with me? Can’t you tell whether this abandoned well is the actual secret well?"

Tian Lin shook his head and said, "Just because the Goddess Sect set up one secret well doesn’t mean they can’t have a second. Maybe there are other entrances and exits you haven’t mastered yet?"

Mei Xianfu thought Tian Lin made a reasonable point. After all, even the most cunning rabbit has three burrows. A large immortal gate like the Goddess Sect must have more than one contingency plan.

"Such key passages for escaping cannot be too few or too many. While more routes ensure more retreat options, if one retreat is lost, the entire sect could face destruction—

Moreover, if they set another retreat other than the one in the south, it shouldn’t be in Fuzhou, and it shouldn’t also disguise as an abandoned well like the secret well."

Tian Lin nodded in agreement, saying, "What you say makes a lot of sense."

Although he expressed agreement, he had already slipped into the abandoned well.

Though it was called an abandoned well, it was not dry.

The water level was just too low, and the bottom was filled with fallen leaves and the corpses of flying locusts. This well was temporarily unusable.

Tian Lin wasn’t bothered by the filth; instead, he plunged deeper into the water’s darkness.

Looking at the filthy water, Mei Xianfu instinctively frowned. Yet she hesitated for a moment and still leaped into the dirty well water.

The well was not actually narrow, but if two people squeezed into it, it still felt cramped.

Tian Lin didn’t mind, but Mei Xianfu had never experienced being pressed against another man’s body.

She used dissatisfaction to conceal her embarrassment and asked Tian Lin, who was constantly feeling the well walls, "Who are you putting on this act for?"

Tian Lin transmitted his voice secretly: "Of course, it’s for that Nascent Soul Cultivator to see."

Underwater, Mei Xianfu frowned. With her and Tian Lin’s level of cultivation, speaking underwater was actually not a problem.

But transmitting one’s voice secretly was far more secure.

"Are you saying there’s a Nascent Soul Cultivator monitoring us?"

"If Aunt Xin and the others are bait, there’s no way they wouldn’t report our situation to that Nascent Soul Cultivator. If the Nascent Soul Cultivator is aware of us, they’d naturally try to watch us. In any case, being cautious is never wrong."

Hearing Tian Lin’s secret transmission, Mei Xianfu also transmitted her voice: "If there really is a Nascent Soul Cultivator watching us, no matter how cautious we are, we might not escape their grasp. You and I might not fear anyone in the same realm, but facing a Nascent Soul Cultivator, we can only be at their mercy."

Tian Lin laughed: "The world has countless experts. Among those in the same realm stronger than us, there’s Shang Yu, and then there’s Master Kong Wu—"

Hearing Tian Lin’s secret transmission, Mei Xianfu chuckled angrily: "If you gave me an Immortal Artifact, I wouldn’t fear a Golden Core Cultivator, no matter if it’s a Nascent Soul Cultivator."

Tian Lin nodded, transmitting his voice: "Yes, that’s why we have to find a way to invite Master Kong Wu to the Southern State."

Mei Xianfu raised an eyebrow, realizing this was Tian Lin’s escape strategy.

But if there really was a Nascent Soul Powerhouse secretly monitoring, how could they quietly contact Monk Kongwu without alerting the Nascent Soul Powerhouse?

"You keep saying my Aunt Xin and Aunt Shan have issues—I’m not mentioning Aunt Xin, but Aunt Shan’s child was killed by people from the New Heaven Sect; how could she join them?"

Many people would want to know Mei Xianfu, but those recognized by her as friends were few.

Wang Yanyu had once used her, but because she had initially opened her heart to Wang Yanyu, she chose to forgive her—though a lot of this was because Wang Yanyu was willing to share ’treasures’."

In any case, until now, Mei Xianfu still did not want to accept or believe that Aunt Xin and the others had betrayed her.

"Who can guarantee they’ll always guess right about this kind of thing? But what I can be certain of is that we’ve been targeted by people from the New Heaven Sect."

Tian Lin transmitted his voice: "Remember when we went to the tavern downstairs to buy a mountain-moving forceful warrior? According to that vendor, the Punishment Envoys stationed in Fuzhou aren’t good people.

They bully men and abuse women, preying on anyone with a fair appearance—there’s no way you and I stayed there for so long, and they pretended not to see us. Even if not for beauty, out of greed for wealth or even duty, they should have approached us.

Yet, until we left, they never showed up."

Mei Xianfu frowned, barely acknowledging Tian Lin’s point, but still transmitted her voice: "Just that is not enough of a reason."

Tian Lin continued: "Remember the little courtyard at the secret well?

"You’re saying there’s an issue there?"

She thought back carefully, only recalling that the courtyard had weeds and a rundown house, with nothing else out of the ordinary.

Moreover, when they entered the courtyard, they had checked and confirmed there were no strangers around.

"I’m not certain if there’s an issue there—but I know, an abandoned house should have cobwebs. Moreover, the weeds in that courtyard varied in depth, as if someone had turned the soil a few days before."

Before Mei Xianfu could reply, Tian Lin continued:

"And this morning, all the courtyards we visited showed signs of having been searched. Who is searching for the secret well? I think, those with such power now are likely people from the New Heaven Sect.

Perhaps, your Aunt Xin and the others didn’t betray you. But the secret well is no secret to the New Heaven Sect. And all these abandoned wells in Fuzhou are under their surveillance—today we circled around all these abandoned wells, and still saw no one from the New Heaven Sect intervene. This doesn’t imply they haven’t discovered us—it exactly proves they not only noticed us but plan to wait right here."

Previously, Tian Lin said perhaps there’s another secret well beneath Fuzhou—while this statement was a joke, it wasn’t entirely impossible.

However, after carefully searching underwater, he found nothing abnormal.

He didn’t intend to stay in the water long and soon surfaced from the well.

Mei Xianfu followed closely behind, and after emerging from the abandoned well, she transmitted her voice to ask him, "You plan to invite Monk Kongwu to help, but this place is far away, do you have a plan?"
