The shopkeeper went downstairs and smiled slightly after confirming that Meng Wan did not follow him.

After waiting for so long, a big fish finally came.

In a good mood, she took out the communication talisman, sent a message, and then waited patiently.

This wait lasted for two full hours.

During this period, there was no movement from upstairs and everything seemed normal.

The shopkeeper frowned secretly, feeling that something was not right.

Those people are always quick and efficient, why haven’t they taken any action for so long?

However, similar situations have happened before, maybe he was delayed by something.

She decided to wait a little longer.

Another hour passed, and the inn was still calm.

The shopkeeper became more and more anxious as he waited, and finally he couldn't help but send a message over there.

However, after the message was sent, there was no response and beads of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead.

Could it be that he failed?

That shouldn't be the case. Although that blood cultivator has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, she has lost nearly 70% of the blood in her body, so the strength she can exert is extremely limited.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't have failed.

The shopkeeper was restless for a while, and finally couldn't help it and decided to go upstairs to try it out.

She walked quietly towards the room and was about to listen to the noise inside when the door was suddenly opened.

The shopkeeper was startled and stopped involuntarily.

She raised her head and saw the blood cultivator standing at the door, still looking shriveled and weak.

She looked even weaker than before.

Meng Wan was a little surprised when she saw the shopkeeper who suddenly appeared.

"Boss, why are you here?"

The shopkeeper forced a smile and suppressed the panic in his heart.

Even if those people were killed, it had nothing to do with her. She had done nothing except passing on the message.

"Nothing, I just came to ask if you are comfortable living here and if you need anything."

Meng Wan didn't seem to suspect the other party.

"Everything is in the room, there's nothing I need, but I just finished repairing and was about to go out for a while."

The shopkeeper quickly made way for him and said, "Sir, please make yourself at your convenience. If you need anything, you can always call me."

Meng Wan nodded, turned and walked downstairs.

The shopkeeper looked at her back and felt a little uneasy.

Although the other party behaved very normally, it was this kind of normality that made things even more wrong.

The other party may have noticed something, but for some reason, did not break up with me.

After seeing the other party walk out of the inn, the shopkeeper quickly returned to the counter, took out the communication talisman again, and prepared to send a message to ask again.

But at this moment, her hand was suddenly clamped, and a skinny hand took away the communication talisman from her hand.

The shopkeeper widened his eyes and looked at the person who came. It was the blood cultivator from before!

Didn't she leave the inn a long time ago? When did she come back? She was approached without even noticing, and her things were stolen!

Realizing that something was wrong, the shopkeeper panicked, but forced himself to calm down and said in a displeased tone.

"What are you doing?"

Meng Wan looked at the communication talisman in her hand with great interest, "Did you call those people over earlier?"

"I do not know what you're talking about."

The shopkeeper made up his mind and decided to refuse to acknowledge it.

Although the other party had snatched her communication talisman, there was no news coming from the other side. There was only one possibility.

They took action, but were killed by Xue Xiu in the end, and they never had the chance to reply to their message.

In that case, wouldn't it be easy for her to remove herself from this matter?

Of course, there is another reason why the shopkeeper is so confident.

Those who can open a shop in the Yinyue Market have some connections.

Her great-aunt was a foundation-building cultivator and one of the leaders of the Hidden Moon Market.

This kind of identity and background is her real reliance.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper asked coldly, "Do you know who I was communicating with just now?"

Meng Wan was indeed curious, "Who is it?"

"My great-aunt!"

The shopkeeper showed a hint of pride on his face, "My great aunt is Fairy Rongyu, one of the founders of this Hidden Moon Market. If you dare to harm me, my great aunt will never forgive you!"

Meng Wan's hands trembled, and she quickly placed the teleportation talisman on the counter and respectfully apologized to the shopkeeper.

"Ah, so Senior Rongyu actually has such a relationship with you, how disrespectful!

This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please do not mind my offense, boss."

As she spoke, Meng Wan smiled and took out a small bag of spirit stones and placed it on the table.

Seeing that Xue Xiu returned the communication talisman and presented the spirit stones to him sensibly, the shopkeeper felt much better.

"That's right, you're smart. I won't bother with this matter this time. If it happens again, I will definitely ask my great aunt to do justice for me!"

"Haha, boss, you are joking. There won't be a next time."

Meng Wan smiled awkwardly, "I still have some things to buy, so let's not talk about it for now."

After watching Meng Wan walk away, the shopkeeper's face turned cold.

"You are all useless. You can't even handle a blood cultivator with insufficient blood and energy, and you even exposed me."

Although she evaded the question with words and even used her great-aunt's status to intimidate the other party, the other party was not stupid. If he thought about it carefully, he would connect the matter to her.

Due to her great-aunt's status, the blood cultivator would definitely not dare to do anything bad to her openly, but it's hard to say what he would do in secret.

In short, only dead people will not pose a threat to oneself.

The shopkeeper's face was gloomy for a while. He burned the communication talisman on the table into ashes, took out another communication talisman, and contacted the other side.

While the shopkeeper continued to call people, Meng Wan strolled around the market, occasionally stopping to chat with stall owners she liked.

This Yinyue Market was jointly established by four foundation-building monks, and its scale was slightly larger than the market she had visited in Xuanyin Sect.

Among the four foundation-building cultivators, the strongest one has reached the late foundation-building stage, but he has not shown up for many years and is very mysterious.

Among the other three, only the master is in the middle stage of foundation building, while the other two are in the early stage of foundation building.

Fairy Rongyu, the innkeeper's great-aunt, is one of them.

With a foundation-building cultivator as his backer, it's no wonder that the shopkeeper dares to be so rampant and openly open a black shop in the market.

Estimating that the time was about right, Meng Wan slowly walked towards the inn.

When I arrived at the inn, I greeted the owner warmly and went straight upstairs to my room.

Seeing Meng Wan's defenseless look, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Meng Wan would never come back and all her preparations would be in vain.

Fortunately, she came back in the end.

Since she was stupid enough to think that a little bit of filial piety could get rid of herself, don't blame her for being cruel.

The shopkeeper's eyes became fierce, and he followed Meng Wan decisively, quietly going upstairs, intending to listen to what was going on.
