Lin Mu gazed at the man and his mannerisms. He had expected him to react a bit differently than this, but reckoned that this was the persona that man had adapted.

"Well, you see… I have certain tasks I need to do that can be considered risky. And thus I want your help with them." Lin Mu stated.

"What kind of tasks do you mean, brother? Is it hunting for beasts?" Jiao Fang asked.

"Not exactly… what I need is… for you to distract the guards while I get close to the vaults." Lin Mu revealed with a straight face.

"I already stated what I wanted." Lin Mu said.

Jiao Fang's smile now went away as he assumed a more calm expression.

"Brother Wu Lian must know that certain words should not be uttered in the sect, and these are the very words. Doing so would result in some harsh punishments by the sect. I'm sure you do not want that, do you?" Jiao Fang replied.

"No, this is exactly what I want. And I want you to help with this." Lin Mu spoke in a straight tone.

The corner of Jiao Fang's mouth twitched, but he did not falter.

"Say, I do consider this… but what reason should I have to accept something that clearly goes against the rules of the sect and would invite the ire of the disciplinary department?" Jiao Fang questioned.

"Because, a certain someone knocked out the guards, broke into the third Treasure pavilion and stole the page of a certain book by the name of Yulong's Mnemonics." Lin Mu answered, much to the shock of Jiao Fang.
