Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu thought for a bit and figured out a way to check out the scrolls that were kept on the shelf. First, he went to the room that was next door and confirmed that it really was empty. He had sensed it with his spirit sense but still wanted to verify it.

Then he peeked his head from the wall in the location that was behind the shelf and started reading the scrolls that way. His alertness was at the top and he was ready to blink away the moment the disciple in the room started showing any abrupt movement.

But luckily whatever the disciple was writing was quite important and he did not want to make a mistake or something like that. Looking from the corner, he had only written a small paragraph in a two foot long, one foot wide sheet.

By the time the disciple finished writing half of the letter, Lin Mu was done reading all of the scrolls that were kept there on the shelf. Thankfully, none of them were sealed or it would have become quite difficult for him.

He would just touch one scroll, store it in his ring and go to the other room to read. He repeated this for all twenty two scrolls and found out quite a lot of information. These scrolls were all official messages between the Tri cauldron peony sect and the disciples that were posted here.

Lin Mu learned the reason behind the posting of the disciples here in the Wu Lim city. There was apparently more than one reason for that. The one reason that Lin Mu knew of was the debt that the mayor owed to the Tri cauldron peony sect.

Lin Mu had originally thought that the mayor had a debt because of asking the sect for help during the plague, but that was not it. Rather, the mayor had been buying a lot of alchemical pills from the Tri cauldron peony sect for years now.

But after the plague, he had bought some high grade healing pills from the Tri cauldron peony sect, and apparently they had been bought using credit. The mayor had yet to pay it in full to the sect and had thus given them certain properties and authority instead.

Lin Mu also found out that in the other smaller cities of the county, the Tri cauldron peony sect owned a lot of proprieties. But all of this had been hidden from the public for a long time. Still, Lin Mu couldn't find fault with the sect for this, they were simply getting the payment for the services they had provided the mayor.

It was the mayor who was at fault here. The mayor had also been giving the yearly funds that he got from the kingdom to the Tri cauldron peony sect. These funds were used for the upkeep of the county's infrastructure and security.

sending their disciples here was for the wedding, of course. Lin Mu found out that this had been decided a long time ago, and they had been
