"Three Guests' Lodge?" Sang Ying read the words on the plaque out slowly and deliberately.

Her memory was quite good, and she was certain that what was in front of her was the place where the three of them had stayed. However, the small inn had been replaced by a three-story building, and apart from the location, it no longer resembled its former self.

Seeing the group stop in front of the inn, Baixiaosheng immediately explained, "This Three Guests' Lodge is where the three distinguished guests who helped the Yin Mountain Sect stayed. Later, those three esteemed guests left one after another and never returned to Moonless City. To commemorate his three friends, City Lord Liu ordered the inn to be renovated and renamed Three Guests' Lodge."

Sang Ying grew increasingly helpless as she listened; she hadn't expected Liu Duanyue to cause so much trouble after she had left.

"Since you've just arrived in Moonless City, you're probably looking for a place to stay, right? In my opinion, it would be perfect for you to stay at the Three Guests' Lodge. As I mentioned before, the Three Guests' Lodge were built by the Yin Mountain Sect. Staying here will at least give you some protection from the Yin Mountain Sect, and you can at least sleep more peacefully here," Baixiaosheng said meaningfully.

Even without his reminder, everyone was going to stay here anyway, but since he said so, Sang Ying and the others naturally had to thank him.

Seeing that the group didn't object, Baixiaosheng offered to help them arrange rooms. Originally, it was supposed to be one room per person, but Wuming refused, saying he wanted to stay with Yu Heng.

Yu Heng is still determined to escape. If it were someone who knew nothing, letting him go would be fine. But Yu Heng has heard too many of their secrets before, and letting him go now might alert them.

Even though this person had promised not to have any further contact with the people of the Sun-Chasing Hall, no one dared to trust someone who harbored hostility towards them.

Upon hearing this, Baixiaosheng glanced at Wuming and Yu Heng briefly and made a judgment in his mind.

He remained outwardly calm and booked rooms according to the number of people in Sang Ying's group.

Handing out the keys one by one, Baixiaosheng chuckled, "You're all quite lucky. These days, the smaller secret realms within the Severed Vitality Mystic Realm of Moonless City have also opened, which is exactly the time when all cultivators flock here. You've just managed to reserve one of the last few rooms; there won't be a single room left."

Sang Ying held the key without saying a word, while Jiang Zhuoxue exchanged a few more pleasantries with the person in front of her.

Baixiaosheng was a perceptive man. After handing over the key, he said, "I imagine you've all had a long and tiring journey. You should go back to your rooms and rest as soon as possible. I won't stay any longer. If you have any questions, you can find me in Wenliu Alley in the west of the city. I have a small shop there, and you'll see it as soon as you go."

After saying this, he didn't wait for the others to try to stop him, but instead cupped his hands in farewell and left.

Sang Ying and the others waited until Baixiaosheng's figure disappeared down the long street before turning around and entering the inn.

Arriving in a new place, a thorough setup is essential. Jiang Zhuoxue moved swiftly, setting up the arrays in both her room and Sang Ying's room before Sang Ying could even react, with the Spirit Gathering Formation being a must.

Having been unable to absorb any Spiritual Qi the entire way Gu Shu immediately pounced on the bed and rolled around a few times in the abundant Spiritual Qi.

Seeing that he was skilled at it, Sang Ying turned around and went out to give instructions to Duan Hanyi and Wuming.

It wasn't that she did it herself; after all, Duan Hanyi was fiercely protective of Sang Ying, so how could he dare to let the Child of the Heavenly Dao set up the array for him? He took the array plate and started operating it according to Sang Ying's instructions.

The same was true for Wuming. He had been a person from the Hidden Nether Realm since Wuming and had never seen anything like arrays before. When Sang Ying handed him the Spirit Stone needed to activate the array, he was quite startled.

"This is far too precious; my benefactor shouldn't give it to someone like me." Even though he had avenged his family, in Wuming's heart he was still a complete sinner.

But Sang Ying didn't give him a chance to refuse, forcefully shoving the array plate into his hands. "You said it yourself, this life belongs to me and Jiang Zhuoxue. Since it's ours, then whatever I say goes. If you refuse to take it, then I'll help you set up the array."

As she spoke, she was about to make a move.

Seeing this, Wuming but to accept the array plate and immediately did as Sang Ying had instructed.

After setting up several formations, the atmosphere inside the room was indeed less turbid than before. Wuming's previously uneasy heart calmed down a little.

He was already someone who was extremely insecure, and now that he had just arrived in a new place and was staying in a messy inn, it was really making him feel uncomfortable.

After these formations were activated, the noisy sounds around him disappeared, and the auras of the others no longer penetrated the walls, making Wuming feel much better.

The Wuming man accepted the kindness and secretly vowed to do his best for Sang Ying and Jiang Zhuoxue.

"You're not like yourself anymore, Wuming. Everyone knows you're cold-hearted and ruthless. So many people from Zhu Ri Sun-Chasing Hall have died at your hands." Yu Heng seemed to disapprove of the friendliness among these people, and as soon as Sang Ying left, he immediately began to mock them.

Wuming didn't answer, but turned around and punched Yu Heng hard in the stomach several times under Yu Heng's questioning gaze.

When Yu Heng collapsed to the ground in excruciating pain, he heard the man say, "My benefactor said I can't let you die; everything else is up to me. You can continue talking, but next time I won't hit your stomach, I'll hit your mouth."

Yu Heng curled up and slowly got up from the ground. His resentful gaze fell on Wuming, but he ultimately dared not continue speaking. He could tell that Wuming was serious.

Because it was already late when the group arrived in Moonless City, by the time they finished setting up the formation, it was already dark outside.

Staying indoors at night is a rule in the Hidden Nether Realm, and they didn't intend to break this rule upon arriving in the new town, so they stayed at the inn and planned to visit the Yin Mountain Sect the next day.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Liu Duanyue had finished dealing with a whole day's chores and was about to tidy up and rest when her window was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

A pair of smiling fox-like eyes peeked in through the window, and then the person followed them into the house.

"Does this house not have a door? Why do you have to climb through the window every day?" At this moment, Liu Duanyue finally understood the helplessness his father had felt in the past.

But the second son seemed oblivious to his helplessness, and continued with a grin, "Isn't it more convenient to go through the window?"

Liu Duanyue didn't dwell on the matter. He straightened his clothes and said, "Tell me, what did you find out today that made you abandon your own shop and come to your father?"

His second son left the Yin Mountain Sect after coming of age and opened a news shop, specializing in buying and selling information.

Liu Duanyue didn't know how her son was managing the news shop, but the boy was completely absorbed in it, and no matter what she said, he wouldn't listen. So Liu Duanyue simply let him be.

Upon hearing this, Baixiaosheng, also known as Liu Chengzhi, who had been smiling and joking, suddenly became serious.

He looked at his father and said earnestly, word by word, "This time there's really big news. Father, I saw the people in those paintings you hid in the study today."

Sure enough, Liu Duanyue's expression changed as soon as he said that.
