She had thought Yao Niang would take Wen Yu’s life, but unexpectedly she was this enthusiastic.

Wen Yu was probably also stunned by such enthusiasm, and many “question marks” appeared out of nowhere on his pale face.

He hastened to say, “I’m worried that if I continue staying here, I’ll bring you trouble.”

“What my Yao Niang fears least is others bringing me trouble! Moreover, if they come, I’ll chop them up and use them as drinking snacks.”

“But…”

“Alright, alright, it’s settled then.” Naturally, Wen Yu couldn’t refuse. Right now he was injured, the sandstorm outside hadn’t completely subsided yet, and his own people were all dead. The Nansai Desert was so vast that once he went out, relying solely on his own strength, he would undoubtedly face certain death.

He now had to find a way to leave this desert alive. As long as he got out, everything would be easy to handle.

He bowed slightly, “Today’s great kindness and virtue, Wen Yu will certainly repay in the future.”

“If you want to repay me, why not pledge yourself to me in marriage?” A delicate blush spread across Yao Niang’s face.

“…” Wen Yu was put in a difficult position.

Unexpectedly, Yao Niang suddenly laughed and said, “Alright, alright, I’m just joking with you. By the way, you must not have eaten yet, right? Looking at your injuries, they must be very serious. I have top-quality wound medicine here. I’ll go get it for you.”

“Thank you.”

Yao Niang’s lips curved in a smile, her eyes extremely gentle. She turned and hooked her arm through Ji Yunshu’s, saying, “Miss, let’s vacate this room for this young master to stay in. I’ll find another room for you. What do you think?”

Ji Yunshu said, “Either is fine.”

“Alright then, I’ll take you to see the room.”

She pulled Ji Yunshu out, and before leaving, she even closed the door.

Yao Niang led her to a relatively secluded but clean room.

The room was very tidy, with everything that should be there.

And it was very quiet!

Ji Yunshu was a smart person. There was no reason she couldn’t see what medicine Yao Niang was selling in her gourd. She didn’t plan to beat around the bush, nor did she intend to play dumb. She looked at Yao Niang, who was leaning against the doorframe, and said directly, “You want to use him as bait?”

Yao Niang was startled, “Eh? Miss already figured it out?”

“You’re very clear that as long as he remains here, those black-clothed people from last night will definitely come back. You’ve arranged for me to stay in this secluded room simply because you don’t want me to cause you trouble when the time comes.”

Yao Niang’s eyes sharpened. She twisted her body, slightly raising her chin and said, “Miss is truly a clever person!”

Ji Yunshu reminded her, “Those people who appeared last night are all experts.”

“The people of my Tiansha Inn aren’t to be trifled with either!” A trace of ruthlessness flashed across Yao Niang’s charming face as she said, “If those people from last night weren’t swept away by the sandstorm, they will definitely come back to search for him. They turned my Tiansha Inn upside down, broke so many things, bullied me, Yao Niang, and still want to just walk away? They’re simply dreaming! So I must get my revenge.”

Ji Yunshu asked, “Then what do you plan to do?”

“You don’t need to worry about that, Miss. In any case, tonight you just stay obediently in this room. When the time comes, no matter what happens outside, don’t come out. Otherwise, like last night, if you see someone and rush out like a madwoman to obstruct us and let those people escape again, wouldn’t I suffer a huge loss?” Yao Niang furrowed her brow.

If those people really came tonight, would that masked man also appear?

Ji Yunshu’s heart was in complete chaos.

Restless and uneasy.

Yet very much anticipating.

Seeing her lost in thought, Yao Niang said, “In any case, I’ve said everything I need to say. Miss had better take it to heart. As for me, I’m going to deliver food and medicine to that young master.”

Having said that, she walked away with a beaming smile, twisting her snake-like waist.

Ji Yunshu sat in the room staring blankly for quite a while when someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Looking up, it was actually that kid Luo Yang!

He was holding several dishes and a pot of wine in his hands.

He walked in.

While asking, “I heard you changed rooms. Was that room no good?”

Then he set down the food and drinks, and unceremoniously sat down inside, his foot habitually propped up on the stool.

With his head tilted and eyes slanted, his posture looked as punchable as it could get.

Ji Yunshu’s opinion of him had actually improved slightly.

Yesterday, if Luo Yang hadn’t risked danger to rush into the sandstorm to save her, she would definitely have been swept away by the sandstorm by now, carried off to who knows where. Perhaps her bones would have been scattered without a trace!

Looking at the food before her, she said, “Thank you!”

Luo Yang looked indifferent, “It’s just delivering some food, isn’t it? I was passing by anyway. Otherwise, who would be willing to serve you dishes?”

Brother, the tall and noble image you just established is about to crumble in an instant!

Ji Yunshu wasn’t thanking him for this though. She said, “I’m talking about yesterday’s matter.”

“Oh, I thought it was something else.” Luo Yang again looked completely indifferent, waving his hand dismissively and saying, “But don’t misunderstand. Yesterday I didn’t really want to save you. I was just worried that if you died, who would give Xiao Ba the antidote then? Xiao Ba is most afraid of death, and he’s my only brother. If he died, I’d be sad and grieved too, so that’s why I rushed out to save you.”

“Regardless of what you say, and regardless of what reason you had, I know your nature isn’t actually what you show on the surface. You just don’t want to…”

Ji Yunshu’s words were just getting “sentimental” when they were interrupted.

Luo Yang pointed at the plate of meat and asked, “Hey, I’m asking if you’re going to eat or not? I went to the trouble of playing waiter to serve you dishes. If you’re not eating, I’ll eat it. I’m not full yet anyway and was planning to stuff my teeth a bit more!”

Sweat!

Truly a lost cause!

Ji Yunshu shook her head secretly, “If you want to eat, then eat.”

“Then I’ll take it back to my room to eat!” Luo Yang directly picked up the plate of meat.

After leaving the room, Luo Yang looked back, smiled briefly.

Only then did he walk away cheerfully!

Because the first floor of the inn was smashed up, everyone could only eat in their own rooms. Many people were also cursing those damned black-clothed people from last night. They had already walked through the desert for so long, just hoping to eat well and sleep well. Now with this disruption, everyone’s hearts were in a panic.

Unfortunately, with the sandstorm outside, they simply couldn’t leave.

After coming out of Ji Yunshu’s room, Yao Niang entered the kitchen. Completely changing from her previous delicate appearance, she stretched her voice and loudly called out to the workers, “Everyone listen up! The person those black-clothed people were looking for last night is now hiding in our inn. Serve him with good food and drink, and also keep a close eye on him. Don’t let him leave. As long as he’s here, those people will come back. You all set up around the inn. Tonight we’ll catch them in a trap and let those reckless fools see that the people of Tiansha Inn are not to be trifled with.”
