Walker Of The Worlds

At that moment after hearing Li Peng's question, Hei Wan was stunned, but she did not let him see that. To Li Peng, it only seemed like Hei Wan was thinking deeply. Hei Wan could not let Li Peng get suspicious of Lin Mu as it would lead to many complications.

Hei Wan thus thought for a minute before speaking. During this time, Li Peng patiently waited in silence without disturbing her.

"I don't really think that he's that suspicious. Why do you think that?" Hei Wan spoke.

"Lin Mu was able to survive the attack when even the vice captain and the town head could not. Also, he was hiding in the bedroom and somehow the culprit did not find him? I doubt that." Li Peng replied.

"Your doubts are valid up to a certain point, but all you have right now is circumstantial evidence. That other man Lu Xiao was able to survive as well by running out. Though the culprit was very close to killing him and would have if we had not come upon him." Hei Wan spoke.

"Besides, didn't you say the boy is an orphan and was poor? Even if he was able to increase his strength, do you think it would be enough to defeat a cultivator like the vice captain Han Lei?" Hei Wan added.

Li Peng thought for a few seconds before nodding.

"Madam is right, we still don't have all the facts. It will be hasty of me to jump to conclusions." Li Peng replied.

"I will be interrogating Lin Mu myself, so you don't need to worry, we'll get the facts. Oh! And also Lin Mu is awake now." Hei Wan spoke.

Li Peng looked a little surprised upon hearing this.

"He is awake? That's good we can ask him right away." Li Peng replied.

"Not so fast. I think there are some problems with him. He didn't seem mentally fine when he woke up. Let him rest for a bit until then we'll check this place." Hei Wan declared.

"As the madam wishes." Li Peng responded with cupped hands.

Li Peng then turned to look at the guards that were standing near him and gestured to them. One of the guards approached him and stood in front of him respectfully.
