He stayed in town that night and set out early the next morning. When he was getting ready to depart, Li Ruoxuan looked around and frowned, thinking that it should be time for that man to appear, but he never did. What was old man Gongsun thinking? Did he not intend to attack him anymore?
That was impossible though.
The old man had been following them quietly all the way, waiting for an opportunity to show his hand. He must be waiting in the dark somewhere…
In the evening, Li Ruoxuan checked in at an ordinary tea shop he had come across…
He had not booked the entire tea shop this time. After all, it was not part of his home territory. Lu Yan had wanted to pay the store owner to drive out other guests, but Qi Qingyao stopped him.
"This place is between the two capitals. There is only this single tea shop on the official road. If you drive away the other guests, they will have to sleep in the wilderness. You can't bully others just because you have money."
