Secret Transmission: Golden Toad Swallows the Moon. Incomplete?

The burly men with faces full of flesh stared solemnly at Chu Qing.

The clerks did the same.

So did the shopkeeper.

Daoist Master Zi Qing was delighted.

It seemed the Peace Inn had gone on alert.

They... would surely shelter him for a while!

He did not need much time.

Just three hours.

As long as he had three hours, he could recover to his peak.

Then, he could continue... fleeing.

Chu Qing smiled.

He casually tossed aside the Dominating Spear and walked over to a table.

Crash!

The group of burly men rose to their feet and shouted:

"Greetings, Master Qing!"

Chu Qing had never met them.

But they had seen Chu Qing's portrait.

Because:

The innkeeper mentioned Chu Qing to everyone who entered the inn.

Every few days, he would even bring out Chu Qing's portrait for everyone to see.

Therefore:

Everyone in the Peace Inn knew Chu Qing.

Thud!

The innkeeper dropped to his knees.

He kowtowed to Chu Qing and cheered, "Master Qing, you finally came."

"I thought you had forgotten about me!"

This innkeeper was the old man who had brought Chu Qing into the underground palace to find the Tiger Jade.

Only a few months had passed, yet the old man was brimming with vigor.

It seemed he had been living quite well.

"Get up, all of you!"

"Yes!"

The crowd rose in a rush.

Off to the side, Daoist Master Zi Qing wanted to kneel.

Had he known earlier, why would he have suffered like this?

The expert behind the Peace Inn was Chu Qing?

He... truly wanted to cry.

Clerks brought over fine wine and delicacies.
