Zhao Lin rested at the Liuhe Sect that night. The next morning, before the apprentices and disciples arrived, he left for South City.
The Chu family was in South City.
South City was home to many wealthy people, so people from all walks of life came here to make a living.
There was a bakery near the Chu family's estate. The owner had partitioned off a room in his house, turning it into a large common bunk room that could house ten people. A day's stay cost just three copper coins.
To avoid drawing attention, Zhao Lin disguised himself as a laborer, found the landlord, paid for three days, and moved right in.
The bunk room was filled with rough men who went out to find work during the day and returned to rest at night.
Zhao Lin also pretended to go out for work during the day, but he stayed near the Chu family's estate.
He focused his hearing completely, listening to the activity within and making sure not to miss a single conversation.
