Chapter 230: Chapter 230 Spiritual Energy Sensing
After making sure those people had walked far enough away, Lin Xiaohong jogged all the way to the Yue Family.
When Lin Chunju opened the door, she saw Xiaohong gasping for breath.
“Aunt Lin, some people came to Daye Village just now saying they were looking for relatives, and I was thinking they might have come for you.” Lin Xiaohong repeated what had just happened.
Lin Chunju froze for a moment when she heard the name Lin Jianping.
“Aunt Lin?” Lin Xiaohong waved her hand in front of her, and only then did Lin Chunju snap out of it.
“Xiaohong, thank you so much, I’ve got a handle on this situation now,” Lin Chunju said as she poured a cup of honey water, “To soothe your throat.”
Lin Xiaohong took it shyly, “You’re too kind, Auntie. I thought those people looked a bit strange, so I directed them to another village. If they really are your relatives, there’s still time to go find them.”
“They’re not relatives, probably just some people jealous of the old man’s business,” Lin Chunju lied without changing her expression, after all, the matter was too strange to share, the fewer people that knew, the better.
“Xiaohong, you’ve really been a big help.”
Lin Chunju thanked her repeatedly and walked her to the door.
After the person left, Lin Chunju wasted no time and headed straight for the school.
Yue Qingqing sat at the back of the classroom, doodling in her notebook; when she looked up and saw her grandmother standing outside, she immediately sensed something was wrong.
She slipped out through the back door, crouching low, and Lin Chunju whispered the situation to her.
Yue Qingqing was also startled, “These people actually managed to find their way here?”
Impossible. The other party’s mana couldn’t possibly trace directly to her.
It was Lin Chunju, the experienced one, who thought of the reason.
“They might have found out by asking around, especially since that person’s roots are in Daye Village.”
Yue Qingqing slapped her forehead.
Having grown used to cultivators’ skirmishes in her previous life, how could she forget that the other party could also use worldly forces to find her?
“Grandma is right, if none of the people who came are cultivators, then it’s easier to deal with,” she said.
After getting permission to leave, Qingqing went with Lin Chunju back to the Yue Family home.
Once home, she scooped up a ladle of water from the water jar and sprinkled it into a basin.
She placed it under the sunlight, where it swayed gently.
“Grandma, what did Aunt Lin say that person looked like?”
Lin Chunju recalled, “There were four sturdy young men, led by a middle-aged man, with a very square chin and a scar near his temple that almost reached his nose.”
It was this trait that made Lin Xiaohong feel they were up to no good.
They looked like the gangsters on the television, all dressed in black.
Wang Wei probably never expected that the black clothes he chose for the long journey had become one of the reasons Xiaohong was wary.
As Lin Chunju described the men, Yue Qingqing closed her eyes.
Spiritual energy spilled from her body, dispersing slowly into the air.
It is said that in ancient times, powerful cultivators had immense spiritual energy that could encompass heaven and earth.
Mountains, rivers, and oceans lay within the embrace of their spiritual energy, and they could sense events happening thousands of miles away.
In her last life, Qingqing was far from that realm, and even more so in this life, where the world was bereft of strong spiritual power.
But she could still manage to bring the few villages in the vicinity under her observation for a short period.
Soon, Qingqing’s spiritual energy sensed the individuals Xiaohong spoke of.
Wang Wei and several men had inquired around Niuwei Village and indeed found three Lin surnamed families.
However, on enquiring, none were the right ones.
The men were now discussing going back to Daye Village to ask again, as it was the only solid lead they had.
