Lin Mu's concerns were valid and the others had similar doubts too.

"We don't know how she would afford this either." Daoist Chu shook his head. "We had originally thought that she might be using her background to pay for it all, but then again the cost needed for it would be way too high to hire diviners of that level." He explained.

"Not to mention, it would leave tracks that could be traced by the Temple. All that flow of funds would be suspicious. And I don't think the Holy Topaz Empire or the sword sect would want to openly show that they are interfering with the Tournament." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated.

"But if she can't use her background then does it mean she's paying for all of it on her own?" Lin Mu wondered.

"Not necessarily. I wouldn't put it past that bitch to trick the diviners too." Crown Princess Shang replied.

"How so? I mean, the diviners aren't really the right people to trick." Lin Mu stated. "Won't tricks be useless if they can simply see if they are correct or not?" he asked.

"Not if they are veiled in truth." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "Diviners are hard to trick, but it doesn't mean it's impossible. She could have also tempted them somehow." He added.

"Hmm… if temptation worked, then they wouldn't necessarily need payment upfront either." Lin Mu considered another scenario.

In Lin Mu's mind, a few different ideas flew. He couldn't help but wonder if Yao Changying knew about something that could tempt the diviners to work for free.

"Whatever it might be, we need to be alert about it." Crown Prince Feng Shun finally said. "As such, we'll inform you if anything happens."

"I understand." Lin Mu replied.

"Though… I have to praise Daoist Mu Lin on his performance so far." Crown Prince Feng Shun suddenly said. "We heard about your acts… there are plenty of nobles that have inquired about you." He added.

"Is that so… I hope it wasn't troublesome for the Crown Prince." Lin Mu replied calmly.

"Of course not." The man shook his head. "This much was expected. I knew I wouldn't be able to keep you hidden for too long."

"As long as it doesn't affect the original task, it won't matter." Lin Mu stated.

"Indeed." Crown Prince Feng Shun nodded his head.
