"Ah! No, help!"
Ling Yanwu cried out and woke from her deep sleep.
She opened her eyes and saw that she was still in her room at Juyunju Inn.
But one thing had changed: the room was now full of people.
Her useless junior brothers and sisters stood drowsily in a corner, heads bowed like children who'd done something wrong.
At the table in the middle of the room sat a handsome young man with an otherworldly air.

But when she opened her eyes, the situation had taken such a dramatic turn.
And also...
Why was Li Xian in my room?
Could he have rescued me?
Li Xian set down his teacup and smiled warmly.

After learning that Ling Yanwu and the others were staying in Yangzhou City for the time being, Li Xian had secretly sent people to keep an eye on them, in case anything went wrong.
He hadn't expected these inexperienced little greenhorns to actually
