"Lord Ming, it's been so many days. Is there still no news at all?"
Gu Kaiyuan had requested the private room right next to theirs. He had only just cracked the window open when he heard voices drifting from next door. It seemed that in the future, sensitive matters shouldn't be discussed in inns. There was absolutely no privacy here.
"No news yet," Ming Peifeng said, a hint of impatience in his voice. He had suffered days of torment in prison, all because of the man sitting in front of him. He had lost so much weight, yet Gu Baijiang hadn't even bothered to ask how he was doing.
"Lord Gu, just stay in Tian Village and rest easy. I will inform you immediately once there is news. We can't be of any help here, so worrying won't do any good."
"That makes sense, but life in the village is difficult. We finally managed to build the houses, and now we need to clear the wasteland. There are still many things to buy, and I find myself short on silver again..."
