Chapter 354: Dark Silhouette (1/2)

The innkeeper then ran off in a hurry. Even though Bai Luochu was suspicious of him, she decided to keep it to herself, after all, he wasn’t a threat to her yet. Thinking up to this point, she then closed the door and went to rest.

“Knock knock,” Just as she laid on the bed, someone knocked on the door. “Who is it?”

Pei Rumo whispered, “It’s me, I have something to discuss with you.”

Bai Luochu opened the door and asked, “Is there something important you need to tell me?” Bai Luochu asked. However, she already knew Pei Rumo’s purpose for seeking her out.

“Don’t you think that this innkeeper is a little strange?”

As she expected, Pei Rumo was here because of the innkeeper. She then replied with a question of her own, “Is there a normal shopkeeper in the Desolate Region?”

Pei Rumo muttered to himself for a short moment and felt that what Bai Luochu had said was indeed reasonable. However, he still felt that it was somewhat strange. “What you say is indeed reasonable, but I think that this innkeeper is far too strange. If he was hostile to both of us, I might be able to understand that he has an attitude problem. However, he treated you strangely well. I’m afraid that something might be up and we might be targeted by somebody.”

“Your First HIghness… are you feeling jealous because he treats me better?” Bai Luochu teased Pei Rumo in an attempt to relieve his anxiety.

Even though Pei Rumo understood her intentions, he still felt worried, “You obviously know that’s not what I meant. Anyway, just stay alert and shout for help if anything happens.”

After seeing Bai Luochu nod her head, Pei Rumo turned around and left.

Truthfully speaking, Pei Rumo's worries weren't unfounded. Other than being oddly nice to Bai Luochu, the innkeeper was also suspicious as he had deliberately arranged Bai Luochu’s room to be far away from the others. In fact, it would be strange to not suspect him.

Even though Bai Luochu was suspicious, she knew that all she needed to do was to wait for the innkeeper to take the bait. He would definitely take action once night falls.

When Bai Luochu ended her cultivation, it was already deep into the night. If someone wanted to take action against her, it was about time they struck. Hence, she started to make some preparations.
