Chapter 491: Chapter 491: Creating a Fog
Lin Yun had never doubted Li Tian’s intelligence. Seeing the rare flicker of passion in Li Tian’s eyes, he smiled and said, "Looks like you’re confident you can root them out?"At that, Li Tian turned his head and replied with a smile, "Don’t you have faith in me? Or do you think I’d lose to anyone else?"
"Haha, alright, alright. I have absolute faith in you," Lin Yun chuckled. "Let’s talk about what to do next."
Li Tian had been in Wind City for so long that he had a thorough understanding of its various families. He was certain that a few of them had absolutely no connection to the mysterious organization.
These families included the Qi Family and the Cai Family. Li Tian smiled and laid out his plan for Lin Yun. After hearing him out, Lin Yun fell silent.
"You want me to make a big show of searching these families that couldn’t possibly be connected to the mysterious organization?" Lin Yun asked, looking at Li Tian.
That was right. Li Tian wanted Lin Yun to do two things. First, continue to act like a reckless, arrogant young master who threw his weight around indiscriminately.
Second, have Lin Yun make a grand show of searching—and even targeting—the very families Li Tian was certain had no ties to the mysterious organization.
Seeing Lin Yun’s surprised question, Li Tian chuckled softly. "Young Master Lin, are you worried this will alienate those families? That they’ll likely take this matter all the way to Flawless Palace, is that it?"
"Yes," Lin Yun did not deny.
"Ever since the annihilation of the Chen Family, Young Master Lin, your Mental Realm has shifted. You might not have noticed it yourself," Li Tian said slowly. "In a struggle like this, it’s impossible not to involve others. I’m sure you know that, Young Master Lin. It’s just that right now, you instinctively refuse to even think about such things."
Hearing Li Tian’s words, Lin Yun fell silent. It was true. Ever since the extermination of the Chen Family, he had developed a deep-seated hatred for implicating innocent people. But reality was often that cruel. When the nest is overturned, can any egg remain unbroken? In the struggle between Flawless Palace and the mysterious organization, its vassal powers were bound to be affected.
Seeing Lin Yun’s silence, Li Tian continued, "Young Master Lin, I know how you feel. And that is exactly why I, Li Tian, am willing to follow you. You have an Innocent Heart. But some things are unavoidable. So please, Young Master Lin, leave these matters to me. All you need to do is put on a grand performance."
Hearing this, Lin Yun turned to look at him. After a long moment, he finally spoke, "I know some things must be done, and I know that I can be too soft-hearted at times, especially when it comes to the innocent..."
Lin Yun spoke calmly, but he was only halfway through his sentence when Li Tian interrupted. "Young Master Lin, your ambitions lie far beyond this. Even I can’t fathom your ultimate goal. Therefore, you shouldn’t be concerned with such matters. These are burdens for me to shoulder. You only need to press forward with all your might toward the goal in your heart. I will clear away everything else for you."
After hearing Li Tian’s words, Lin Yun was silent for a moment. Then, he let out a hearty laugh, raised his teacup to Li Tian, and said, "With you here, I can rest easy."
The matter was settled. Lin Yun didn’t need to worry about anything else; he just had to continue playing the part of an unscrupulous, spoiled young master. Li Tian would handle the rest.
He had to admit, with Li Tian around, his life was much easier. He didn’t have to worry about so many things, as Li Tian would manage them all for him.
