The shopkeeper looked at the empty plates in front of the girls.

Su Yan felt a little awkward. Fortunately, the shopkeeper did not say anything and left. However, she could clearly feel that the shopkeeper’s eyes were staring at them, afraid that they would escape.

Jin Tong suggested in a low voice, “Why don’t we run?”

Once her words landed, the shopkeeper directly stood in front of the two of them and said: “Do you two ladies need any help?”

Su Yan could not face the embarrassment. There was only one table of guests at this hour in the entire inn. No matter how soft her voice was, they would surely hear her.

Just as they were feeling awkward, Gu Ruoyun and An Yi returned. The two of them hugged each other’s arms as if they had seen their saviours.

Gu Ruoyun glanced at the plates on the table and knew what was happening. She threw a silver ingot at the shopkeeper, who accepted the silver. Naturally, a businesswoman would not make things difficult for her.

Su Yan asked: “Where did you go early in the morning?”

Gu Ruoyun stroked her head and said: “I’m sorry, I had to deal with some small matters.”

Su Yan recalled how he looked out the window yesterday and asked, “Was anyone following us?”

Gu Ruoyun glanced at Jin Tong and said: “It’s alright, it’s just a small matter. It’s been settled.”

Su Yan nodded.

An Yi pulled his arm out of Jin Tong’s embrace and handed Su Yan a paper bag.

Su Yan opened it and saw that it was some flatbread.

She had not dared to eat anything in the morning and was already famished. Seeing this, she said in surprise: “Thank you, An Yi.”

As soon as she said this, the expressions of the people around her turned cold. An Yi’s expression tightened, and he quickly said: “The Lord bought this.”

Su Yan had already picked up the pancake and started eating. She did not care about the rage between the two men.

Gu Ruoyun’s expression turned even colder.

Jin Tong pouted and said: “Why don’t you buy me one too?”

An Yi glanced at the plates on the table and said: “These are all yours, right?”

Jin Tong choked and regretted eating so much earlier.

Gu Ruoyun said: “We should go.”

The few of them took a carriage and arrived at the Tianjian. The Tianjian was a narrow path between two steep cliffs. The gap in the middle was as smooth and neat as if it had been split open by an axe.

Jin Tong said: “There has always been a legend in our Southern Kingdom. In ancient times, an immortal passed by the Tianjian and wanted to drink water. He split this path and left behind the abyss of the Dragon Sea.”

The few of them felt that it was new.

Because the path was too narrow, the carriage could not enter once it reached the entrance. They could only enter on foot.

The cliffs on both sides were smooth and flat. However, the middle path’s elevation was uneven. There were rocks and weeds everywhere.

These weeds were half the height of a person. This caused them to not see the situation on the ground clearly. They could only fumble forward with difficulty.

This passage could only accommodate two people walking side by side. Gu Ruoyun brought Su Yan along with An Yi and Jin Tong. The four of them split into four groups and walked forward.

Su Yan accidentally stepped on a rock and fell forward. Gu Ruoyun, who had been pulling her all this time, pulled her back to avoid falling to the ground. Her entire body was close to his embrace.

The two of them crashed into the stone wall together. It was unknown who had pressed the switch. There was a loud bang in their ears, and the two of them disappeared.

An Yi and Jin Tong reacted and quickly knocked on the stone wall. They did not find anything unusual and felt a typical stone wall.

A few black shadows suddenly appeared behind them. They held bows and arrows in their hands and attacked An Yi and Jin Tong.

An Yi pulled Jin Tong and quickly avoided the arrows. The environment was unfavourable for the two of them, but the black-clothed men suddenly stopped and left.

Jin Tong asked: “What should we do?”

An Yi looked at her with a gloomy expression and said: “Those people should be from the Southern Kingdom’s royal family. We were targeted as soon as we entered the southern kingdom.”

Jin Tong said in surprise: “How is that possible?”
