Chapter 452: Undercurrents Swirling
irl yet. They are all rough people, you don't mind, okay.” Old Li's wife took the glutinous rice balls out of the pot, each one round and plump, filled with red sugar."How could that be I'm grateful t...The middle-aged man weighed his money pouch a few times, seeming satisfied with the weight inside. He waved his hand and said, “Come in, our town welcomes merchants who come to buy and sell.”
Merchants who come to shop provide income for the town, so unless they are particularly suspicious, they generally won't make things difficult for people at the entrance of the small town. After all, once these fat sheep enter the town, they are on their chopping block, and how they want to flay and cook them is up to them.
A group of people entered the town and headed for the largest inn, but when they arrived, they were told that there weren't many rooms left. The innkeeper said that in the past few days, many groups of people had come, and he seemed a little strange when talking about it. It wasn't even peak season, yet so many people had arrived unexpectedly.
Rong Ye took over the rest of the rooms, assigning everyone to their places. Although it was a bit cramped, they could still manage to squeeze in. However, there was still no news from the person sent ahead, so his expression was full of caution.
As people began moving their luggage into the room, Qin Luoyan stood at the entrance of the inn, always feeling like several pairs of eyes were watching her. She looked around but didn't see anyone.
She had just helped Niwan to rest on the bed after closing the door. Niwan frowned and said, “At least three highly skilled martial artists were observing you just now.”
Qin Luoyan was startled. Although she had sensed it, she wasn't as perceptive as Ni Wan. But then again, Ni Wan, despite having no martial arts skills, possessed a keen intuition for experts and danger that far surpassed hers.
“It seems that people from the Ling family and Li family arrived before us, but they were a bit unexpected. I didn't expect them to care so much about this wealth. ”Qin Luoyan sneered, sitting at the square table holding a teacup, her eyes gradually deepened. After a moment, she questioned in confusion, "Three Who is the other one"
Niwan shook her head, her eyes flickering but she said nothing.
Before the agreed-upon time with the three great clans, all members of the three clans had already arrived. Qin Luo'yan guessed that for their own safety, each clan would set up its own forces outside the Gengjin perimeter as a response. However... she sneered, these core members had to enter the source ground, and for those who were determined to die, was setting up an outer perimeter useful
This night, Qin Luoyan slept exceptionally well. Because she knew that even in such a chaotic small town, the people from the three major clans would do their utmost to protect her safety. Therefore, she wasn't worried about any safety issues at all. At least before entering the treasure trove of Gengjin Spring, the people from the three major clans wouldn't let anything happen to her.
The waiter who came to deliver the meal had a limp, and there were deep and shallow bruises on his face. He carefully placed the food on Qin Luoyan's table and looked at her with strange eyes.
After the shopkeeper left, Qin Luoyan turned to Ni Wan and asked, "Do I look scary Why did that shopkeeper seem so afraid of me"
Hearing this, Ni Wan's composed expression crumbled a bit. She twitched her lips and rolled her eyes, "You slept soundly last night, but it was those people on the roof who suffered guarding you."
"Hmm" Qin Luoyan blinked, her face full of confusion.
"I sighed, "I think the inns in this town take advantage of outsiders like us. Maybe they're planning to rob and kill people! That way, they keep all the money and don't have to give us any goods. That's why the innkeeper and his staff were all out last night."
"Uh…" Qin Luoyan didn't expect to actually experience a black shop encounter. "We are the two weakest people in our team, so they are going to start with us"
Ni Wan nodded in response to her guess, "But they certainly didn't expect that there would be so many forces secretly protecting you. The masters of the three hidden families are top-notch on the entire road, and where could these little crooks possibly resist That's why almost everyone in this inn is dead. If we weren't staying here for another two days, the young man and the owner wouldn't have survived either."
Qin Luo's smoke corners lifted a contemptuous smile. This society, no matter where you go, seems to be the weak and the strong. It stands to reason that this inn has killed a lot of merchants, but it didn't expect that this time it would involve posting boards. There are only a few people who do things in the inn, so it's no wonder that the group of men looked at her with such a terrifying expression.
"Now what do we do, since people from the three great families have arrived Should we go into the Jinyin Source ahead of time" Ni Wan asked.
Qin Luo Yan gently shook her head. "No, we'll wait."
"What" Ni Wan seemed impatient, her eyes gleaming with the light of revenge.
Qin Luoyan walked to the bedside, took her hand, and soothed, "Don't worry, they are laying out their power, we... also need to make some preparations."
"Ready..." Niwan whispered those two words, her eyes suddenly shining brightly. "You mean Little Dragon has already gone..."
“Yes, I already had Xiaolong prepare in advance. It's a pity that without me, he can't enter the deepest part of the treasure source. However, some preparation is still enough. Nini, don't worry, for him, I can do what I can. Although I don't know how much help I can give him, but... I will do my best.”
Ni Wan was a little surprised to hear Qin Luo Yan say this. She meant to help him Ni Wan's eyes were full of astonishment, as if Qin Luo Yan had unknowingly made her feel even smarter.
Because the agreed-upon time with the three great families was still two days away, Qin Luo'yan wasn't in a hurry. During the day, she accompanied Ni Wan to sit in the courtyard of the inn and occasionally pushed her for a stroll on the streets of town.
Perhaps the events at the inn had already been known to the powerful figures in town. Although Qin Luoyan was alone pushing Ni Wan onto the street, not a single person dared to come forward and cause trouble. More than that, she could sometimes feel people intentionally avoiding her.
As for this, Qin Luoyan pretended not to notice. She continued to browse and shop as usual. However, when she approached a store, the shop owners still looked at her with fear in their eyes. Perhaps they had received instructions from the town's administrator beforehand, because no one dared to neglect her.
Since this town was founded, perhaps no solitary and vulnerable woman has ever been able to walk the streets as openly and fearlessly as Qin Luo'yan.
