Yang Guang was dead. He had died at some point before Lin Shuguang went looking for him, and his death had been gruesome. What Ma Shen said had also brought a bizarre, inexplicable incident to light.
An unfamiliar woman... a strange death...
Lin Shuguang lowered his gaze.
He was no detective, nor was he obliged to investigate Yang Guang's death. His only reason for seeking the man out was to obtain the Yang Family's mental techniques.
Putting away the dagger said to portend ill omen, Lin Shuguang answered Cao Chao's call. Whatever he heard, he then hung up and looked up at Ma Shen. "Yang Guang said he was going to sell techniques here. Did you know about that?"

He did not want to follow in Yang Guang's footsteps.
Unfortunately, Lin Shuguang
