Lin Yun had not asked Green Lotus about her hiding place, because if he knew and Green Lotus was discovered, he would be the prime suspect, which would then require him to confront Green Lotus head-on.
Knowing too much means having to shoulder a heavier burden.
Lin Yun simply didn't ask, as Green Lotus was already prepared to flee, which fit perfectly into Lin Yun's plan.
"I'll just plant the false evidence, and how the plot develops from there will depend on how the people of the Righteous Path arrange it."
It would be best to gain Green Lotus's trust and remove the threat of the Azure Dragon Gu Worm sooner rather than later.
Lin Yun tapped on the abacus, earnestly saying, "Master, rest assured, I will definitely clear your name. I'm going to gather clues right now."
After ending the call, Green Lotus, who was far in the Southern Border, also felt quite emotional.
I really do have a good disciple!
