Chapter 357: The Inn (2/2)

Bai Luochu raised her brows in response and felt it was rather funny. “Why don’t you just eliminate this person instead of keeping this hidden timebomb around?”

Bai Luochu was rather reasonable. No one knew if the innkeeper would look for trouble after he was released.

Qin Feng let out a bashful smile before speaking his mind, “Even though all crimes must be punished, his sin is a little too small for him to pay with his life. Furthermore, I am not those incorruptible officials in the constable department nor do I study the law. How can I decide the life and death of others? Doing so will make me no different from those uncultured swines in the martial world.”

Bai Luochu nodded with satisfaction and immediately praised him, “You have done well. Even though you’re a bad scout, you have a good moral character. I didn’t misjudge you. If you cultivate diligently, you will have a bright future ahead of you.”

Qin Feng felt embarrassed and he quickly humbled himself, “Mistress, please stop mocking me.”

They left the basement and made their way to Bai Luochu’s room. Qin Feng was planning to leave but she stopped him. “Wait a moment.”

Qin Feng stopped and turned back to face Bai Luochu, “Does Mistress have other instructions?”

Bai Luochu picked up the mask that fell in her room and handed it to Qin Feng. “Tomorrow, I will inform the First Prince everything you told me. After all, the two of us are on a campaign to conquer the Desolate Region. The more he knows, the safer I’ll be. As for the source of information, I will tell him about you.”

“Wouldn’t that be bad? I treated all of you so badly in the day…” Qin Feng spoke of his concerns.

Bai Luochu muttered for a moment and comforted Qin Feng, “You don’t have to worry about it. Remember to be friendly to us tomorrow. I will also be able to cover up my lie that way. Forgive me if I make you out to be the bad guy.”

Qin Feng might not understand what his mistress was up to, but since she said it wouldn’t be a problem, why would a subordinate like him care about it?

Qin Feng smiled and said to Bai Luochu, “Since I will be in disguise, Mistress can scold me all you like. You will be scolding the original innkeeper anyway. As long as Mistress can gain something out of it, please do anything you like.”

Bai Luochu was satisfied with Qin Feng’s reply and she waved her hand to dismiss him.
