Chapter 759: A Long Journey! (1/2)

Seeing the group of people behind Bai Xiaofei, Tong Fei was stupefied.

“Many? My three madams have always been inseparable from me. Chenchen, Sisi, and Weiwei are their close attendants who also take care of my two daughters. I can’t leave them behind. These guys are my trusted guards, you already know. And…”

“Alright, alright I know, brother, let’s go!” Tong Fei regretted even asking. Bai Sicheng was obviously taking this trip as a vacation.

But even so, he was still grateful. After all, Bai Xiaofei said he had received an order from his boss to continue their cooperation as long as his partner passed the investigation. In other words, Tong Fei’s money pouch could keep bulging!

A pile of luggage was loaded into the carriages. Bai Xiaofei had taken out the handsome Blackscale Horses once again since they were not too much for his current wealth and ‘status.’ As the huge motorcade set out, Bai Xiaofei’s group were excited beyond measure.

Tong Fei deemed their reaction to be natural. After all, they were going on a trip to a place they had never seen before.

He could never imagine that they were excited about their mission, which only officially started now. They had been waiting for this day for half a year!

Unfortunately, their excitement was too early…

“Why did you stop?! We ran into bandits again?!” In the carriage for the women, Duan Yiyi’s arrogant voice rang out.

Mo Ka, who was driving the carriage, hurriedly poked his head in. “My second young miss, we have arrived at a rest stop. If we miss this one, it will be a week before we can find the next place to rest.”

Mo Ka’s teasing tone earned him a glare from Duan Yiyi.

Soon, Fang Ye guided the group out of the carriage and into the said rest stop, of which they only had one word to describe – Miserable!

Aside from a shabby little inn, there was nothing but bare rocks in the surroundings. The sign over the door was weathered and only half of it could be vaguely seen: ‘inn.’

“Pock, wake up! We have visitors!”

Everyone heard a bright voice as soon as they stepped out from the carriages. Right after, two men, one fat and one thin rushed out in a hurry.

“Greetings, honored guests! Thank you for gracing our little inn with your presence!” The fat man came over and greeted them warmly after giving the groggy-looking thin man a slight kick.

“Ah! Greetings! Thank you for your grace!” The thin man returned to his senses and tried to repeat the fat man’s words.

“Cut it with the nonsense. Prepare us rooms and food. This is for you,” said Heartless coldly as he tossed out a gold coin.

The fat man caught the coin and his eyes immediately lit up. A gold coin! I actually earned a whole gold coin in this hellhole! This group is rich!

“Oh heavens! Can a room be any more tattered than this?!”

Looking at the room assigned to her and Zhu Nuo, Duan Yiyi was full of distaste. She wasn’t acting, the room was just too run-down. There were holes everywhere, and the sounds of all kinds of small animals could be clearly heard. The only acceptable thing was the bed that at least still looked sturdy…

“Why are you standing around?! Take out our own mattress, or how will I live in this terrible place?!” Duan Yiyi scolded Xu Chen. This scene was seen by Heartless who happened to be passing by.
