"What does that mean" the lady questioned."You'll understand when the time comes, Nangong Clan is not as simple as you imagine!" Daoist逍遙 chuckled mysteriously."'' Miss lady has nothing on her mind ex...Chapter 282 Plan 1

"Servant, take good care of the Uninhibited Wandering," the old man instructed.

"I want to see what records you have on Fang Chunxue. I'll be leaving in a few days and don't need too much trouble from your side. Just provide me with accommodation," said the Uninhibited Wandering.

"Alright, I will arrange for someone to deliver the records about Fang Chunxue to where you're staying," replied the old man nodding his head.

The Uninhibited Wandering nodded and was preparing to leave. However, after taking one step, he paused and said: "That being said, although I think you might have thought of something, I still feel it necessary to remind you that the most dangerous place can also be the safest."

"What" Everyone was puzzled by what the Uninhibited Wandering meant.

"Having no news for so long indicates that you haven't found him and have not even picked up any trace! In such a situation, either this person has extraordinary capabilities or he's hiding in places you would never expect!" continued the Uninhibited Wandering.

“What do you mean” The young girl asked first.

"The meaning is that he likely might be somewhere you wouldn't think of. What’s the first place you’re going to rule out" asked the Uninhibited Wandering.

The young girl thought of a location and her expression turned shocked: "Could it be, he's now at the Fang Family Cemetery"

That was correct; the first place they would exclude is the Fang Family Cemetery. They had just come from there, and the opponent chose the cemetery as the bait in their strategy to mislead them, making everyone almost completely ignore that location.

"I merely said it’s possible, but not necessarily true!" replied the Uninhibited Wandering with a smile, adopting an attitude of not taking responsibility.

“Send someone to check at the Fang Family Cemetery!” The young girl ordered. Then she turned around and looked at the Uninhibited Wandering, asking in puzzlement: "How did you think of that place Don't tell me it's just a random thought."

"The reason is simple; why would someone choose the Fang Family Cemetery instead of somewhere else if they are trying to mislead you This place isn’t far from here. If he wanted to divert attention, he should have chosen a more distant location. So choosing the cemetery might indicate a specific purpose, which could be that his original target was the Fang Family Cemetery!"

The Uninhibited Wandering continued: "Being discovered by you here is also part of his plan; it makes you eliminate the Fang Family Cemetery from your protective perimeter."

"That's right. This is very likely," nodded the old man, looking at the Uninhibited Wandering with a different gaze. The others seemed to be thinking along similar lines.

He really does resemble Fang Chunxue back then who could see things that others couldn't!

This was what they were now thinking in their hearts; they found it even more likely that the Uninhibited Wandering is Fang Chunxue's son. At this moment, however, they seemed to have overlooked one point: there are many people with sharp minds, which doesn’t necessarily mean a connection between two individuals.

"Uninhibited Wandering, why don't you stay and help us analyze the situation An extra pair of eyes never hurts," said the old man. Seeing the Uninhibited Wandering's analytical skills, he felt it better for him to stay and perhaps discover what they couldn’t see.

Of course, this wasn’t because they lacked analytical ability; everyone has their own perspective and sees things differently, leading to different conclusions. A leader naturally prefers comprehensive analysis.

"I want to sleep now," said the Uninhibited Wandering.

“…”

Was he declining

"You can meditate here and rest, I’ll call you when there's something," said the old man calmly.

"Alright!" replied the Uninhibited Wandering. He then sat down to meditate; for him, sleeping and meditating were not much different as he could sleep even while in a meditative state, and his exercises would continue while asleep.

“I need some rest too,” the young girl said when she saw this. She was annoyed that someone like him can just sit down to rest while she couldn’t.

The girl then followed suit and sat down to meditate as well.

Everyone was a bit speechless; they wanted some rest too, but right now it wasn't possible for them. They could only watch the Uninhibited Wandering and the young girl resting while waiting for news from outside.

This situation didn’t last long because soon someone brought in word that indeed he had been found at the Fang Family Cemetery. The person seemed surprised by this development, reacting slowly and was caught as a result.

The Fang Family is not an easy place to infiltrate; if one's reaction time is slow, it doesn’t matter whether they just entered the Imperial Realm or are already in it with extraordinary agility - escape from capture would be extremely difficult.

If that weren't so, how could he have been caught by the young girl!

“How did you think of me being there”

The man seemed不服氣 when he was brought in front of the old man, thinking that his plan was nearly flawless and couldn't be discovered by anyone.

Miraculously, this person appeared to be quite young, no older than thirty. Although not strikingly handsome, his sharp features exuded a rugged charm.

Who is this youth No one in the crowd knew him. They had never seen him before and couldn’t find any connection between him and anyone present.

"Someone warned us, and after such a long time, we eventually figured it out. You're quite interesting to stay here; do you need a lot of time to finish what you’re doing" The old man calmly asked, admitting that he had been alerted by the Recluse.

"What I’m doing is none of your business, and who warned you doesn’t concern me either," the youth said arrogantly, as if not in a position of being caught but rather someone in charge.

“That’s something you don’t need to worry about. You only need to answer one thing: Who are you and why did you come here” The old man replied coldly, completely ignoring the youth's arrogance.

"Who I am doesn't concern you, and what I’m doing is for you to look up yourself." The youth refused to cooperate, his attitude quite unpleasant, especially towards those from the Fang family.

“What’s on him” asked the old man, turning to someone nearby who had brought in the youth.

"Nothing. He's only wearing a black outfit and has the jade pendants we were robbed of."

The stolen jade pendant indeed connected this incident with something from before; whoever it was must have been involved with the theft of the jade pendant initially.

“You don’t need to look for anything, my body doesn't contain any clues about my identity. Before coming here, I knew there might be a possibility that I would get caught and wouldn’t carry items proving who I am.” The youth looked at those around him arrogantly, still acting like he wasn’t in the position of being captured.

“The stolen jade pendant; doesn't this belong to the Qin family” asked the girl suddenly.

"...I'm not a member of the Qin family!!" The youth remained silent for a moment before responding.

The girl smiled and said, "You didn’t say you were part of it. Are you feeling guilty"

“No!” shouted the youth fiercely; his actions seemed to hint he might be from the Qin family, but this was denied by the Recluse.

The Recluse had already been awakened and heard the exchange between the girl and the youth. He also saw their facial expressions and movements before speaking up: "He’s not part of the Qin family; his goal is to frame others."

“You! You’re from the Fang family” The youth's face changed when he saw the Recluse.

Originally, he thought that even if something unexpected happened, it would be within his control. However, with the appearance of the Recluse, he felt things were out of his expected scope, causing him some shock.

This first made the Fang family understand that the Recluse's presence was truly coincidental and had nothing to do with this youth.

Secondly, the Recluse guessed something:

"You know me Interesting. Were you also there when the merchant convoy was attacked"

The jade pendant being in his hands and having met the Recluse before made it likely that this youth had been present at the scene.

“Yes, I was there! I thought you were just an ordinary passerby. No wonder no one from the Fang family came to escort this jade pendant, and how did you manage to figure out everything so thoroughly” The youth admitted without hesitation, feeling that he didn’t need to argue against the Recluse.

This youth clearly saw the Recluse as a pawn of the Fang family. He believed that not revealing information earlier was simply for safety reasons.

However, he was mistaken like everyone else...

"I'm just an ordinary passerby who happened to be there," said the Recluse.

The youth laughed sarcastically: "Haha, you don’t need to lie. If it was coincidence at that place, is it also a coincidence here"

At this point, the girl found the situation quite ironic. She had previously thought, like this youth, that the Recluse was lying and saying things no one would believe. Yet, what he said was true; the Recluse wasn't from the Fang family, his presence there a mere coincidence.

Just moments ago, they had suspected that the Recluse’s appearance at both places couldn’t be coincidental.

"Look at my clothes!" The Recluse suddenly interjected. This made the youth feel puzzled and he subconsciously looked at the Recluse's attire, quickly understanding what was meant (To Be Continued).Did anything happen to my sister" Miss Third asked at this moment, and this was something that everyone wanted to know, but hadn't had the chance to ask yet."It's fine, can't die anyway!"
