Chapter 356: We’re Not Alone (2/2)

“Do you know of their objective?” Bai Luochu felt that Qin Feng would know their objective as they had stayed in his inn.

“I’m afraid that I will have to disappoint Mistress.” Qin Feng shook his head helplessly and looked a little upset.

“They are really cautious. Every time I approached them, they would turn silent. I was thinking of using the excuse of delivering hot water to enter their room but I was always stopped before I could enter. Mistress should know what Commander Ying picked me because I was once a military scout. However it was impossible for me to penetrate their defenses even with my skill.”

“Why is that so?” Bai Luochu was rather puzzled. Even though Qin Feng’s cultivation level was questionable, his movement skills, eyesight, and hearing were top notch. If they were able to avoid Qin Feng’s surveillance, they had to be extremely powerful individuals.

Qin Feng seemed to have detected Bai Luochu’s thoughts and he felt a little embarrassed. He stammered, “Mistress, those people are excessively cautious. When it was time to rest, they placed a seal restriction at the entrance. As breaking the seal would attract their attention, I couldn’t do anything. I have disappointed Commander Ying and Mistress. Please punish this subordinate when we return to the capital city.”

Bai Luochu shook her head and consoled him, “That won’t be necessary. There is no need to blame yourself over such a small matter. If we need to punish everything for every little thing, how will our Palace of Brilliance Resurgence stand firm in the martial world? You managed to find out that we aren’t the only faction in the Desolate Region and that’s enough. Moreover, you caught sight of several extraordinary groups who behaved cautiously. That’s enough information.”

It was indeed enough. After obtaining those pieces of information, Bai Luochu would be able to head in a new direction in her future investigations. In any case, Qin Feng provided ample information and he wouldn’t be punished.

Qin Feng was extremely moved by Bai Luochu’s words as he didn’t imagine a cold-looking person like Divine Physician Bai to possess a warm heart. He realized that his choice of joining the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence was the right one. He was no longer treated like dirt on the side of the street.

As for Bai Luochu, she already formulated a plan in her head. Despite coming up with a plan, Bai Luochu felt that something was off. She was unable to put her finger on it.

Bai Luochu looked at Qin Feng again and instantly realized the problem. The Desolate Region was tens of thousands of miles away from the capital city. How did Qin Feng become an innkeeper here?

Qin Feng’s hair stood on end when he realized that Bai Luochu had been staring at him. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and his voice trembled as he asked, “Mistre... Mistress, why are you staring at me?”
