Chapter 1516
It was only at this moment that he finally understood that his earlier act of asking the shopkeeper for a ladder was simply to take care of him.
Just as Lu Hu was feeling sentimental, Shen Lin had already returned to the ground and was running away at top speed.
The teahouse wasn't far from the room, and Shen Lin arrived almost instantly, at his speed.
Meanwhile, the brothers that Wei Yi had notified earlier were already waiting near the house.
Upon seeing Shen Lin's arrival, these people knew it was time to take action, and their already tense state became even more cautious.
Everyone moved when they saw Shen Lin raise his right hand and clench his fist.
In just a moment, the nine members of the Impermanence Squad leaped onto the courtyard wall without making a sound.
The reason the White Lotus Taoist was able to escape last time was mainly because they went down the wall, which gave him the opportunity.
Before they came, they had already made up their minds that they would never jump off the wall unless they were to fight the White Lotus Taoist.
At the same time, the location they chose was also very cunning, surrounding the entire house while also receiving rapid support from others.
If the White Lotus Daoist chooses one of them as a breakthrough point, then the others can fill the gap when he makes his move.
As for Shen Lin, he naturally entered through the main gate. Although the White Lotus Taoist was powerful, they had great confidence in their captain.
boom!
Just as the other members of the Impermanence Squad were getting ready, Shen Lin kicked out and sent the mansion gate flying.
After the loud thud of the wooden door crashing to the ground, the lights in the previously dark room instantly came on.
Then the door to the room was slowly opened, and the rotten wooden door made a creaking sound.
The old woman, leaning on a cane, walked shakily out of the room and saw Shen Lin standing at the door as soon as she stepped out.
A fleeting look of seriousness crossed his cloudy eyes, followed by a terrified voice saying:
"Gentlemen, my good buddies, I am an old woman living alone. I have no valuables in my house. Please, please let me go."
As she spoke, the old woman bent down, looking so submissive that she almost wanted to kneel before Shen Lin and the others.
Shen Lin and the others saw this but didn't say a word; they just kept their eyes fixed on her.
Interestingly, even though Shen Lin and the others had made their attitude so obvious, the old woman still wanted to continue pretending.
"This is the capital, right under the emperor's nose. There's a curfew here, and officials are patrolling. You..."
The old woman was about to continue speaking when Shen Lin suddenly interrupted her.
"I must say, you did a pretty good job of pretending. Your posture, appearance, and even the tone of your voice were all perfect."
"If I hadn't seen you carrying that pottery sculptor's pottery with one hand and walking like the wind, I might have actually believed you were an old man!"
Upon hearing Shen Lin's words, the old woman, who was about to kneel down, stopped and slowly straightened up.
At the same time, the cloudiness in his eyes gradually disappeared, and his gaze toward Shen Lin and the others became as cold and sharp as a steel knife.
In just a moment, this old man, who was originally very old and frail, seemed like a completely different person.
Seeing the old woman's change, Shen Lin deliberately put on a mocking expression, looking at her with a playful gaze, and said:
"Kneel down! Why aren't you kneeling? If you kneel down and beg, maybe I'll take pity on you and let you go!"
Upon hearing Shen Lin's words, a sharp glint flashed in the old woman's eyes, and she no longer bothered to conceal her voice.
"You found me through that person who was keeping watch outside, didn't you! I should have taken action against him sooner."
