Chen Lin had not left Danding City. Instead, he changed his identity and obtained a new Identity Token.
Then he went straight to the Rental Office and rented a new room not far from his old one.
This was a decision he had made after careful consideration.
Soul Interrogation was not Soul Search, so he could not be certain whether Huang Yu had embellished his confession. He also worried that Yue Baifeng of Jinfeng Pavilion had left a Tracking Mark on him. Although he had noticed nothing unusual about his body, the Prayer Cult's divine abilities were bizarre and could not be judged by ordinary logic.
That made the city the safest place, after all.
With the Danding Sect's rules in place, and the Prayer Cult being an unwelcome heretical cult, they surely would not dare attack him inside the city. Otherwise, they would not have needed to order Huang Yu to trick him into leaving.
After turning it over in his mind repeatedly and confirming there were no holes in his plan, Chen Lin finally relaxed.
The only pity was his old Identity Token. Its remaining points would have lasted almost another month.
After that, Chen Lin refined pills while using the Crow Puppet to watch his old residence.
Since Yue Baifeng had designs on him, she would surely come to investigate once she realized he had not visited Jinfeng Pavilion for some time.
He wanted to find out whether she had any other subordinates besides Huang Yu.
Sure enough, someone appeared within two days.
It was actually Madam Xu from Jinfeng Pavilion.
Through the Crow Puppet, Chen Lin watched her knock on the door for a while, then leave with a frown when no one answered.
Only after her figure disappeared did Chen Lin turn his attention away.
