"That's perfect! You can lead the way for us, so we don't waste time not knowing where we are."

Bai Lu smiled and replied, "If I can get up tomorrow morning, I'll go with you."

After leaving the bar in Bailu, Tie Nan and Coach Ma had other friends invite them to go drinking. They asked me if I wanted to join them for some fun, but I didn't have any energy left because I had already shown signs of getting drunk at the bar in Bailu.

Tie Nan and Coach Ma gave me their utmost contempt for this. They felt that my alcohol tolerance was simply not good enough to get by in Dali. But that night, I had already drunk eight bottles of "Wind, Flower, Snow and Moon" liquor.

After parting ways with them, I took a taxi back to "Fengrenyuan" by myself. As I was about to open the door and go inside, I subconsciously glanced at the "Haitu" inn not far away. I hadn't noticed it before because I didn't know Ye Zhi was staying there.

After I came to my senses, I went over the events of the day in my mind and felt it was necessary to call Lao Huang to explain the truth of the matter. After half a day, he should be able to calm down and listen to my explanation.

I was a little nervous, so I lit a cigarette before dialing the number. After the call connected, I held my breath and waited...
