"How is it? Master, could he be someone sent by the prefect?" Shen San stood aside, lowered his voice, and watched Lu Yunxi take the beggar's pulse.

"He really is ill and very weak. It's probably because he hasn't eaten well and is too nervous." Lu Yunxi frowned. "He doesn't look like someone sent by the prefect."

This man is too weak. Whether he's gathering information or assassinating someone, at least he should send someone who's in good health, right?! Is the prefect so stupid?

The two were once again caught in a cloud of suspicion.

Originally, they had thought this person was sent by the prefect. Otherwise, why would someone chase them if they had already escaped?! But now, it seems that their imagination is not the same.

"Forget it, it's getting darker, let's find a place to rest for the night."

*

The morning light is dim.

Lu Yunxi and Shen San discussed it and decided to take a detour to visit Cui Shishi.

They were being chased by people all the time, and Cui Shishi might have been exposed.

Although protected by a protective shield, Cui Shishi had never experienced being hunted, so she would probably be very scared; of course, there was another reason, which was that Master Lu Yunxi and his disciple were currently confused and needed Cui Shishi's help to think of clues.

After the two of them made their decision, Shen San set off carrying the rescued beggar on his back.

Less than half an hour after walking, the man woke up.

"Are you awake?" Shen San put the person down and explained briefly, "We didn't wake you up because we had to hurry and you needed to rest. We wanted to send you to the town and then put you down. I wonder if you mind?"

The man shuddered and came to his senses. "Of course I don't mind! I have nowhere else to go anyway. Thank you both for taking me with you."

"Don't be polite, as long as you don't blame us for taking you away." After Shen San finished speaking, he turned his head to look at his master and said, "Master, we just came out of Beizhen. Where should we go next?"

Lu Yunxi paused and thought, didn’t we just discuss this?

Turning around, she saw that person with a confused look on his face. She said thoughtfully, "I don't know either. How about..."

Before he could finish his words, the man seemed to have thought of something and said in shock: "Wait! You said you just came out of North Town?! When did you go to North Town?!"

"We found you in North Town."

"Impossible! I wasn't in Beizhen when I fainted. Beizhen is dozens of kilometers away from the town I went to!"

"What?" Lu Yunxi's eyes flashed and he stared at the man closely.

However, the person who was rescued was very persistent and said that the place where they met before was not Beizhen.

Lu Yunxi and Shen San looked at each other, a hint of doubt flashed in their eyes.

Along the way, they asked for directions from many people. It's impossible that everyone got the wrong way, right?
