Apparently, the lock down had been called off after the guards offended a few influential cultivators. They had still been unable to find any culprit and even the mayor's wife had given her approval to stop the check. Then there was the news about the attack at Lord Cai's house.

But the strangest thing was the culprit they thought was the thief that came to Lord Cai's house was none other than the servant who went missing from the Tri cauldron peony sect's courtyard.

'Huh? How the hell did they come to this conclusion?' Lin Mu wondered, but showed no expression on his face.

Apparently, since the servant disappeared without a trace around the same time, the attempted robbery happened, they put the blame on the servant. People had thought that this would mean that there would now be a conflict between Lord Cai and the Tri cauldron peony sect, but it was not so.

Rather, the news of a collaboration was spread by them officially. The Tri cauldron peony sect would be investing in the Alluring Wisteria pavilion. The people were all shocked by this and wondered if Lord Cai had taken advantage of the robber and taken compensation in this form from the Tri cauldron peony sect.

"That's rather smart, I must say…" Xukong suddenly spoke.

"What do you mean senior?" Lin Mu questioned.

"We know that the old man was threatened by the Gu legion and was under watch by them. By taking advantage of their current situation and twisting a few facts, they made it seem as if it was now a collaboration under forced conditions.

This would also make the Gu legion think twice about attacking him and would perhaps even make the people think well of the Tri cauldron peony sect by showing the people that they are not unreasonable. This way they kill two birds with one arrow." Xukong answered.

Lin Mu thought over it and realized that it indeed seemed to be likely. This way a few future problems of theirs could be solved. Then another thing was that due to the new investment, Lord Cai would be organizing a celebratory banquet tomorrow night.

A lot of influential people were going to be invited, and the alluring wisteria pavilion was already getting ready for it. Lin Mu also heard that Lord Hei was invited as well, along with a lot of people that lived in this neighborhood. Which was obvious considering all the high class people who lived here.
