780 The Mad Scientist Saw His Favorite Work

Lin Qiye’s heart trembled.

No wonder he could meet Immortal Realm experts like nothing. It turned out this area was a gathering place for a group of major forces.

However, this also made him feel relieved.

If the ratio of experts in Shangyuan City were as exaggerated as he had thought, it would be too terrifying.

“Thank you for your reminder, old man.”

After thanking him, Lin Qiye asked around for some non-secret information.

He also had a more detailed understanding of the general situation in Wushang District.

This included the more active existences on the streets that should not be provoked, as well as the time and place of activities of some forces.

This information could not be found on the internet. Only the local staff knew enough.

Wushang District gathered the local forces of Shangyuan City and many external forces.

This place was the foothold for the various forces to gather intelligence and a major trade center.

80% of the people living in the Wushang District came from various forces. Only a small number were ordinary residents.

However, even if they were ordinary residents, they were all strong and roped in by many forces.

Lin Qiye had heard about public market activities.

He had wanted to dive in and understand more about the internal situation, but most activities that did not require admission were only open for a limited time. So, before any new activities were open, he could only continue to stroll around the vicinity.

After over half a day, he learned much about the situation in Shangyuan City. He knew which forces had strong backers, so he silently listed them. A list of people to try not to provoke.

When the sun set, Lin Qiye had nowhere else to go. He could only return to the small hostel the old man had rented for him.

To his surprise, when he was about to push the door open, he found a stranger in the room.

Just as he wondered who the person was, the door was pulled open from the inside.

Without a word, Lin Qiye felt an invisible force dragging him into the house.

“Don’t be nervous. We have no ill intentions.”

As if worried Lin Qiye would resist, the person in the room explained.

Only then did Lin Qiye realize there was more than one person in the room.

However, he could only sense the aura of the old man. He had not discovered the person controlling him.

Lin Qiye couldn’t help but frown.

To escape his detection, the person must be at least in the Supreme Realm!

Were Supreme experts so cheap nowadays?

However, this was not what surprised Lin Qiye the most.

What shocked him the most was that the man he couldn’t see through seemed to be the old man’s bodyguard!

For a Supreme to be his bodyguard, just how powerful was his background?

Thinking of this, Lin Qiye sized up the old man in the white coat.

The old man in the white coat was unkempt, and his fluffy hair was even more exaggerated than Einstein’s.

When Lin Qiye stared at him, he returned his gaze with a smile.

Lin Qiye felt a little creeped out. The way the old man looked at him made him feel like a mad scientist who had just seen his favorite work.

“Who are you guys?” After a moment, he finally couldn’t help but speak.

The old man in the white coat nodded at the man holding Lin Qiye down, and the latter immediately released him.

“I’m someone who’s here to help you. As for who I am, it won’t do you any good to know now. However, I can guarantee that one day, you will understand everything when you stand in front of me again.”

Lin Qiye frowned when he heard this. “I don’t need any help.”

The old man in the white coat was stunned by his unhesitating rejection, but he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows and say, “Are you sure you don’t need it?”
