The streak of sunny days couldn't last long. Sensing that heavy rain was approaching, Qin Yao and her group hastened their journey.
However, they couldn't outpace the arriving downpour.
Originally, they planned to reach the next city by afternoon, but the clear sky suddenly filled with dark clouds, forcing them to quickly find shelter from the rain.
There was a major post station here, surrounded by several inns, precisely the station Qin Feng and Liu Ji had mentioned when they chatted by the river last evening.
Qin Feng initially intended to stop here for a night's rest, allowing everyone to relax and replenish supplies.
The priority was to ensure Qin Yao could enjoy a hearty meal she would savor.
However, circumstances changed. Qin Feng believed he had an unpleasant encounter with Qin Yao last night. Reflecting on Liu Ji's comment that Qin Yao manages their family, he gave up hope of convincing them to stay here for a break today.
