They did not notice that everyone in the inn was looking at them with strange eyes, many of them revealing a greedy glint.
The waiter slowly approached, forcing a smile as he asked, "Are you two gentlemen looking to stay?"
The Young Master nodded, "That's right."
"Xiao Luer, give him the money," the Young Master instructed.
The young attendant nodded and took out a pouch, pouring out a couple of silver coins and handing them over.
The waiter's eyes gleamed with greed as he glanced at the bulging pouch before accepting the coins.
"Please, go upstairs," the waiter said, his smile becoming even more forced.
The two followed the waiter upstairs, while the gazes from those below remained fixed on them, restless and eager.
"Cough, cough, it's still daytime," the Innkeeper said softly from behind the counter.
Only then did those people suppress their restless desires.
Once the waiter left and only the two of them remained in the room, the Young Master plopped down on the bed and patted his chest, exclaiming, "I'm exhausted!"
"Miss, are you sure we can avoid Seizi's harassment by sneaking out like this?" the young attendant asked with concern.
The Young Master sat up suddenly, "Of course! This is Guobei County, the most dangerous place. He wouldn't dare come here."
The young attendant remained worried. "But we didn't inform the master, and it's so dangerous here... what if—"
"It should be fine. We'll just stay in the inn and not go out. Once that Seizi goes to the capital, we can return," the Young Master reassured her.
The young attendant felt uneasy but had no choice; her mistress was determined to act on her own, and she was merely a servant.
At the city gate, several horsemen appeared again, and who else could be leading them but the Zhenbei Wang Heir?
He stood at the city gate with a cold smile and said mockingly, "Trying to run? Where do you think you can escape to?"
A hint of lewdness flickered in his eyes as he continued, "Running to Guobei County? Here I will subdue you; I’m sure that old man Nie Rong will have nothing to say about it."
"Let’s go; we’re entering the city," Seizi commanded with a wave of his hand.
Behind him were those scholars who had clashed with Qin Feng and his companions earlier. Their expressions were now cold and fierce, as if they had transformed into different people altogether, exuding an aura of chilling malice.
In front of the inn, Seizi stopped and asked those around him, "This is it, right?"
The scholar nodded slightly, remaining silent. Seizi glanced around the inn with a playful smile and said, "Let's not stay here."
They left and checked into another inn not far away. Seizi pushed open the window of their room and looked at the opposite inn. "Ah, it's the young lady again. I wonder how treacherous Daoist's heart is. Perhaps I should rescue her this time."
A fierce expression crossed his face. "If you still refuse to comply after this, then don't blame me for being rude."
At the Guobei County City Gate, an ox cart slowly rolled in, bearing the Juren Seal, and no one dared to obstruct its entry.
"Is this really Guobei County? It doesn't seem particularly special," Zhu Fang remarked, puzzled. "Did the Lord of the Manor misjudge the place?"
At that moment, Qin Feng's consciousness was already enveloping the entire county seat, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face as his gaze fell upon a particular inn.
What a coincidence to encounter the Zhenbei Fu Heir right after arriving in Guobei County; it seems fate has brought them together. He withdrew his gaze, not in a hurry to take action just yet. He glanced at Zhu Fang, aware that things were not so simple here.
With that, he produced a ten-tael silver ingot from his hand and casually tossed it into the air.
Zhu Fang looked at Qin Feng's actions with confusion.
A clear clinking sound suddenly echoed from the distant street as the silver fell to the ground. The street fell silent for a moment before erupting into chaos.
"That's my silver! If you dare to steal it, I'll have you killed!"
