Chapter 656 Walk Right Into The Trap?

Yun Lintian glanced at the square object in his hand and discovered it was a token with the word "Purple Inn" on it. He raised his head to look at Zi Jinghu and said with a smile. "Thank you, Patriarch Zi. We are currently looking for a place to stay. This saves us trouble."

Zi Jinghu recovered from the shock and took a deep look at Yun Lintian. He turned to Huoyun Yurou and said. "It seems you've hidden quite well…. Anyway, don't think that you can find other places. It's up to you whether you want to come to my inn or stay on the street like a rat… Oh well, I forgot that you're one."

Huoyun Yurou suddenly laughed. "Seriously, I thought you would grow up a bit after all these years."

Yun Lintian quickly added. "That's a bit rude, Matriarch. Patriarch Zi is clearly young and vigorous. It's normal for him to crack a joke." He turned to Zi Jinghu and said. "Isn't that right, Patriarch Zi?"

Zi Jinghu's face darkened immediately. He glared at Yun Lintian fiercely and said. "Good! You're courageous enough. I hope that you can be like this when the time comes."

Afterward, he flicked his sleeve and left without looking back.

The crowd was amazed by the scene they had just witnessed. The usually domineering Zi Jinghu was actually played by this old and young duo.

Huoyun Zhu snickered and gave a thumb up to Yun Lintian. "Nice one."

Yun Lintian shook his head with a smile. "Honestly, Seniors. I didn't expect him to be this childish."

"Disappointed?" Huoyun Yurou smiled faintly. "He's nothing more than a puppet. The true controller behind the scene is his grandfather, Zi Taiyang. That old monster is probably trying to break through to the next level right now."

Yun Lintian slowly nodded his head. He raised the token in his hand up and said. "Let's take a look first, Senior."

Huoyun Zhu asked hesitantly. "Are we really going to stay in their place? I'm afraid there will be a trap waiting for us there."

Yun Lintian responded. "Don't worry, Senior. He won't dare. At most, he would arrange a shabby room for us."

"Why are you so confident?" Huoyun Zhu asked curiously.

"First of all, he certainly has a hidden agenda for doing this, but he won't necessarily do anything to us. At least, not now." Yun Lintian expressed his thoughts. "Secondly, he knows that it's not only us who came here. It's difficult for him to stir trouble at this moment. Otherwise, he would face a joint attack from other seniors and us."

"Let's go." Huoyun Yurou said calmly, but there was a trace of admiration in her eyes. She was convinced by Yun Lintian's cleverness. At the same time, she started to doubt whether he was truly an eighteen-year-old young man. How could he possess such a good sense of awareness?

Yun Lintian nodded slightly and began to walk toward the Purple Inn according to the direction written on the token.

Bang!

"Hmph! I'll let you all live for a while." After returning to his residence, Zi Jinghu smashed an ancient wood table out of anger. He hadn't experienced a humiliation like this for a long time, and it was even coming from a young brat. How could he not be furious?

"Master, shall we start the next plan?" A tall man in black said respectfully. This person was no other than the black-robed man who discovered Linlin's bloodline. His name was Zi Liuchen. He was deeply disappointed to see that Yun Lintian didn't come with Huoyun Yurou.

Zi Jinghu took a deep breath and asked. "Where are others? Have they arrived?"

Zi Liuchen quickly replied. "Our people have spotted the patriarch of the Golden Python Clan outside of the city. Estimating, he will arrive here soon. As for others, there's no news yet."

Zi Jinghu sat on a chair and said after pondering for a moment. "Notify Pei Wuwen and Lang Feng about it. Let them come forward themselves this time."

A trace of surprise flashed across Zi Liuchen's eyes. He bowed his head and said readily. "Yes, Master."

Watching Zi Luichen leave, Zi Jinghu's face gradually turned cold as he muttered. "Huoyun Yurou… Let's see how you could escape from my palm this time."

Yun Lintian's group walked for an hour before arriving at a luxury building decorated with a purple jade. Reading a signboard, Yun Lintian was sure this place was the Purple Inn.

He didn't waste time further and walked into the building with Huoyun Yurou and Huoyun Zhu.

"Greetings esteemed customers. We're sorry to say that our rooms are fully occupied now." A young receptionist quickly walked forward as soon as she saw Yun Lintian's group.

Yun Lintian glanced around the hall briefly and showed the token to her. "Will this work?"

The young receptionist looked at the token in Yun Lintian's hand, and her eyes immediately flashed with a strange light. She quickly put on a professional smile and said softly. "It turns out to be our patriarch's guests. Please come with me. Patriarch has arranged a room for you."

"Lead the way." Yun Lintian threw the token to the receptionist and said without looking at her further.

The receptionist's lips twitched slightly, and a trace of dissatisfaction emerged on her face. However, she still maintained her professional look as she responded. "Please."

As Yun Lintian followed the receptionist, he secretly opened Eyes of Heaven to check the surrounding. Soon, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his lips because he had just discovered two killing formations in this building.

"Killing formations? However, this level is too low." Huoyun Zhu sent a sound transmission. She had also discovered something.

"Killing formations are nothing, but the observing formation is the real deal. We basically have no privacy here. Every movement will be monitored by them." Huoyun Yurou said calmly.

"It's fine, Seniors. No need to worry. I have a way to deal with it." Yun Lintian replied with a confident smile. "Look around, Seniors. Not a single person here is an actual guest. These people are clearly preparing to monitor us."

Huoyun Yurou and Huoyun Zhu glanced sideways and saw a few "guests" talking and drinking in the hall, but their expressions were obviously fake.
