After Shi Li and the others went upstairs, they discovered that the two rooms they had arranged for were a world apart, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

They went back to the landlady to ask to change rooms, but she insisted that the other rooms had not been cleaned up and there were only these two rooms available for them to stay in.

"You go and have a rest. I'll take care of everything." Shi Wu looked at two rooms and left Shi Li in the one with better ventilation and lighting. When he left, he closed the door behind him.

After a whole day of bumping in the carriage, Shi Li felt that her bones were shaking to pieces. She didn't care what the boss lady's purpose was, because she had the strength and was fearless.

After resting in the room for a while, Shi Li thought that someone from Qianqi Tower would come to deliver an important letter to her later, so she had to be careful then and not be discovered by Shi Wu.

Shi Wu has regained his ability to move, and now it is not easy to carry him on my back.

After resting for a while, Shi Li felt that it was time to eat, so he wanted to go out to see if there was anything to eat.

Just as she reached the door, she suddenly stopped. She heard very soft breathing sounds coming from outside the door, as if someone had been guarding the door.

If she wasn't so sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, an ordinary person would definitely not be able to discover it.

Then the person outside must be no one else.

Shi Li thought about it, walked over with deliberately light steps, and then opened the door unexpectedly.

In a flash, Shi Wu took a few steps in another direction, turned around and pretended that he had just walked from another direction.

"It's time to come out for dinner. I was just about to call you." He looked calm and composed.

Shi Li saw through it but didn't say anything. She smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work!"

The proprietress did not make it difficult for them to eat and prepared some simple meals. Although the prices were a little high, there were no other problems and they were barely enough to fill their stomachs.

They were eating in the lobby on the first floor of the inn. The proprietress was still leaning against her counter, counting the beads on the abacus and looking at them silently. No one knew what she was thinking.

When the two were almost done eating, five or six more people walked in from outside.

It was as if a group of servants were surrounding a noble lady.

The young lady looked very young, about the same age as Shi Li. She was dressed elegantly, had a fair complexion, and her expression revealed a hint of arrogance and pride.

She was surrounded by servile maids and old women, all of whom tried to please her.

A group of people walked in in a mighty procession, instantly making the inn lively.

The proprietress seemed like a different person. She came out hurriedly to greet him, nodding and bowing, and was full of flattery towards the rich man.

The young lady was too disdainful to talk to her and just turned her head to the other side. By chance, she noticed Shi Li and Shi Wu. Perhaps she was moved by Shi Wu's appearance and there was a hint of daze in her expression.

They occupied almost all the remaining rooms in the inn and went upstairs in a noisy manner. It was the proprietress who led the way personally and was busy for a long time before she finally settled everyone down.

Shi Li and Shi Wu had already finished their meal. They just watched them go up and down without rushing to leave. When they were all quiet, they went upstairs to their room.

"You should go to bed early. I'll call you tomorrow morning." Shi Wu followed Shi Li to the door of the room, watched her enter the room, and then gave her instructions.

Shi Li nodded, but did not move after entering the house. Instead, she listened carefully to the noise outside.

Sure enough, there was no sound of Shi Wu's footsteps leaving. Most likely, he stopped at the door again, probably because he felt that the two rooms were too far apart, and if anything unexpected happened, he would not be able to detect it in time.

"He's so careful and cautious, I don't know if it's for me or for the mission?" Shi Li muttered softly, not realizing that his mentality was also quietly changing.

It was clearly she who arranged the task so that Shi Wu could stay by her side naturally, but she couldn't help but wonder why Shi Wu was so nice to her.

[Host, you can't have both. Isn't that bad? ]

[I think it’s okay~~~]

[In fact, the identity of the anchor, although not obvious on the surface, is also a person who can get whatever he wants, so it’s not a loss for Shi Wu, hehe~]

As night gradually fell, the inn in the wilderness slowly became completely quiet, with only the occasional cries of one or two crows or other unknown birds coming from outside the window.

It seems even more desolate and quiet.
