Lin Xiao Tian listened to the conversation inside with a blank expression.
Not long after, someone outside called out a few times.
"Er Guai, it's time to get paid for today's work, right?"
"Coming, coming."
Immediately after, the door was opened.
Li Er Guai revealed a set of bright white teeth and smilingly handed the wages to Er Niu.
The two chatted for a while longer, and then Li Er Guai returned.
That's right.
The one who reported to Fang Wen Hua was none other than Li Er Guai.
If it weren't for the recording Liang Xu had sent him earlier, Lin Xiao Tian would never have imagined that Li Er Guai was an undercover agent.
Fang Wen Hua's actions had even fooled the old lady.
After all, the old lady had previously arranged for Li Er Guai and Li De Ping to meet. If she had known Li Er Guai's true identity, she definitely wouldn't have done so.
However, even if Fang Wen Hua knew Li De Ping was still alive, he wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
On one hand, the Lin family was closely monitoring Li De Ping. If Fang Wen Hua made a move against Li De Ping, it would only expose himself.
On the other hand, Li De Ping no longer posed a significant threat to Fang Wen Hua, as Fang Wen Hua had already escaped.
After Li Er Guai returned to his room, he called Zhang Xue Fen again. The two of them chatted enthusiastically on the phone.
Lin Xiao Tian didn't continue listening. Now that he had confirmed Li Er Guai was an undercover agent, he needed to figure out how to use him.
To find Fang Wen Hua, he had to make Fang Wen Hua make the first move.
But Fang Wen Hua was cautious in his actions. Unless he was pushed to his limit, or had absolute certainty of victory, he wouldn't act rashly.
Lin Xiao Tian currently had no way to push Fang Wen Hua to his limit.
Fang Wen Hua had always cared only about himself. Even Lin Li Wen might not have been that important to him.
This was evident when Lin Xiao Tian learned that Fang Wen Hua had other women outside and had callously abandoned them when he fled.
Most of these women were pregnant. If they had encountered a ruthless opponent, what would have happened to them?
Of course, it was also possible that he had guessed Lin Xiao Tian's character, and knew that Lin Xiao Tian wouldn't easily harm innocent people.
Upon returning to Jiang Cheng, Lin Xiao Tian visited Bai Xue, but didn't stay long.
Bai Xue was doing well and didn't need much comfort from Lin Xiao Tian.
Leaving the villa's gate, Lin Xiao Tian didn't leave immediately but walked slowly outside.
Not long after, Lin Xiao Tian heard a voice.
"He's left, and is now walking outside the villa."
Lin Xiao Tian smiled, not feeling particularly sad.
After that, Lin Xiao Tian went to see Guo Lin Qing.
Guo Lin Qing still lived in her previous apartment. Lin Xiao Tian wanted to find her a new place to live, but Guo Lin Qing felt emotionally attached to her current home and refused to move. Lin Xiao Tian couldn't do anything about it.
Soon after, Lin Xiao Tian left. Guo Lin Qing saw him off to the door.
Lin Xiao Tian glanced back at her. Guo Lin Qing lowered her head, appearing somewhat reserved.
The development of their relationship wasn't like that of lovers, and Guo Lin Qing had always felt insecure about it.
Lin Xiao Tian gently patted her head, telling her to take care and rest. Guo Lin Qing nodded earnestly.
As he left, Lin Xiao Tian habitually slowed his pace.
One second.
Two seconds.
...
He didn't hear the same voice as before.
Although Guo Lin Qing wasn't mentioned in the information Liang Xu had provided, Lin Xiao Tian felt somewhat relieved now that he had answers.
When he reached the entrance of the residential complex, Lin Xiao Tian ran into Guo Xu and his girlfriend.
The two politely greeted Lin Xiao Tian. Lin Xiao Tian returned the greeting, his gaze falling on the woman.
Guo Xu's girlfriend was still dressed sexily and provocatively, with a miniskirt and a crop top. Coupled with her voluptuous figure, she was quite a sight.
But Lin Xiao Tian wasn't bothered by her attire. With so many beautiful women around him, if one were to compare, this woman didn't measure up to them at all.
What piqued Lin Xiao Tian's interest was the aura emanating from her.
This aura was clearly that of a cultivator!
Previously, before Lin Xiao Tian reached the Qi Refining stage, he couldn't sense her uniqueness at all. But now, things were different.
However, Lin Xiao Tian couldn't understand why. Normally, cultivators' auras were restrained, and ordinary people would also choose to hide their aura. Someone like Guo Xu's girlfriend, who released her aura so freely, was quite unusual.
As if sensing Lin Xiao Tian's gaze, Guo Xu's girlfriend turned her head and winked at him.
"There's something seriously wrong with this woman!" Lin Xiao Tian narrowed his eyes.
Lin Xiao Tian didn't go far, but stayed outside, his divine sense constantly covering them.
Not long after, Guo Xu and his girlfriend came out.
Lin Xiao Tian followed them. With the help of his divine sense, even when tracking them, others wouldn't notice anything amiss.
The two went to get something to eat and then checked into a hotel.
Lin Xiao Tian didn't like to pry, but out of caution, he activated his divine sense.
He didn't expect what he saw. It was shocking.
Lin Xiao Tian thought they were going to play cards, but who would have thought it would be a solo performance?
Inside the room, Guo Xu seemed to have lost his soul, grinning foolishly.
His girlfriend, on the other hand, was sitting cross-legged opposite him.
Both of them were completely undressed, and then their palms met.
Lin Xiao Tian could feel Guo Xu's yang energy draining away.
A few seconds later, Guo Xu fell asleep on the bed.
After doing all this, the woman clearly wasn't satisfied, but she didn't do anything further to Guo Xu. Instead, she thoughtfully covered him with a blanket.
At the same time, the woman's aura significantly strengthened.
Lin Xiao Tian was somewhat surprised.
The yang energy that Guo Xu had lost just now had been absorbed by her. But this small amount of yang energy shouldn't have caused such a significant increase in her power. Quantitatively, it was at least a tenfold increase, which was clearly abnormal.
As Lin Xiao Tian was contemplating this, a voice suddenly reached his ears.
"Am I pretty?"
Lin Xiao Tian was startled and realized that the other person was looking at him.
They were staring at each other through a wall.
"I didn't expect you to be a cultivator," Lin Xiao Tian said.
"It's me who's surprised. In such a short time, you've already reached the Qi Refining stage. It took me over twenty years of hard work to barely reach the Qi Refining stage."
"How do you know I'm in the Qi Refining stage?" Lin Xiao Tian remembered that he had concealed his aura.
Once a cultivator concealed their aura, unless the other party was a whole major realm higher or possessed some magical artifact, it would be impossible for them to discern one's strength.
Moreover, the other party had just said that she was also in the Qi Refining stage.
"If you were in the Foundation Establishment stage, would you need to lurk outside the corridor?"
Lin Xiao Tian was stunned.
This was a lapse in his judgment.
As a novice in cultivation, he wasn't cautious enough about such matters.
"I wanted to confirm if you were a threat," Lin Xiao Tian replied.
"Haha, a threat? You're so naughty! If there's any threat, it's that you attract me so much that I can't resist. " The other party licked her lips. "Want to give it a try? I haven't had my fill yet! We're both cultivators, and if we cooperate, our cultivation speed will definitely be faster than with ordinary people."
