Chapter 237 The Mysterious Man Behind the Scenes
Yunlai Inn
The fire spirit and the snow spirit transformed into human form and sat on either side of Lin Yin, keeping him company as he drank alone.
The snow elf winked at the fire elf, who nodded knowingly. The fire elf then shifted its gaze to Lin Yin, who was drinking alone, and grabbed Lin Yin's hand holding the wine glass, urging, "Master...! Stop drinking!"
Lin Yin suddenly looked at the fire spirit: "How dare you, let go...!"
The fire sprite reluctantly let go of her hand and looked to the snow sprite for help. The snow sprite pretended not to see and looked away. The fire sprite looked frustrated and turned to Lin Yin: "Master, I really don't understand you! Why did you suddenly leave Mistwater Town? And why are you going to Fragrant Grass Village?"
Lin Yin sighed and looked at the fire spirit: "Fire, we need to go to Fangcao Village to verify some things!"
The fire spirit said irritably, "What are you trying to verify? What could be more important than finding the source of the gods right now!"
Lin Yin poured himself another glass of wine, took a sip without hesitation, and decisively replied with a single word: "Yes...!"
"What is it?" the fire sprite asked curiously.
The snow elf secretly tugged at the fire elf's sleeve under the table, shaking her head to signal the fire elf to stop asking. The fire elf wisely shut up, and the snow elf took the opportunity to ask, "Master, how much longer can your body hold on?"
Lin Yin smiled and said, "Xue'er, don't worry...! I can hold on for a while longer!"
"How long is 'a period of time'? Is Fangcao Village really worth the master making a trip there personally? Won't it delay our search for the Divine Source?" The snow elves subtly and overtly persuaded Lin Yin. They knew very well about Lin Yin's current physical condition. If he couldn't find the Divine Source to make up for his half-demon god deficiency, he would not only fail to become an ancient half-demon god, but he would also risk disappearing from the Three Realms.
Lin Yin looked melancholy: "You don't need to worry about me. I am just an empty existence. If Heaven really doesn't want to grant my wish, no matter how I struggle, it's useless! As for finding the Divine Source, I have my own plans! These things can't be forced! You don't need to worry so much about me. Eat and drink as usual...!"
"Master, don't say such discouraging things. We will find the divine source to save you!" The snow elf said, her eyes filled with tears.
"Why are you crying...? Don't make it sound like it's a matter of life and death! Master isn't dead yet! Even if we can't find the Divine Source, there might be other ways!" The fire spirit scolded the snow spirit.
Lin Yin knew his own body very well. His trip to Fangcao Village was not only to verify whether the Divine Source was with Huan Rugo, but also to find other ways to resolve his own problems. He wasn't actually drinking alone; he was just pretending. His real purpose was to follow the suspicious people at the next table.
At the next table were two men and a woman, dressed in human attire, looking quite ordinary, but their behavior was suspicious. They were acting very cautiously; Lin Yin had been watching them for several days, but hadn't seen them contact any of their accomplices.
Lin Yin sipped his wine, glancing occasionally at the burly man leading the group at the next table. The man said to a man and a woman, "Master, we'll make our move tonight. Let's prepare!"
The other man and woman nodded in agreement with the leader's words: "Hmm...!"
"Hmph...! Make your move tonight? Then I'd like to see who's behind you all." Lin Yin casually toyed with the wine glass in his hand, keeping a close eye on every move at the next table, afraid of missing anything.
