The Sect's Reasons

Lin Mu thought for a bit and figured out a way to check out the scrolls that were kept on the shelf. First, he went to the room that was next door and confirmed that it really was empty. He had sensed it with his spirit sense but still wanted to verify it.

Then he peeked his head from the wall in the location that was behind the shelf and started reading the scrolls that way. His alertness was at the top and he was ready to blink away the moment the disciple in the room started showing any abrupt movement.

But luckily whatever the disciple was writing was quite important and he did not want to make a mistake or something like that. Looking from the corner, he had only written a small paragraph in a two foot long, one foot wide sheet. 

By the time the disciple finished writing half of the letter, Lin Mu was done reading all of the scrolls that were kept there on the shelf. Thankfully, none of them were sealed or it would have become quite difficult for him.
