The shopkeeper went downstairs and smiled slightly after confirming that Meng Wan did not follow him.

After waiting for so long, a big fish finally came.

In a good mood, she took out the communication talisman, sent a message, and then waited patiently.

This wait lasted for two full hours.

During this period, there was no movement from upstairs and everything seemed normal.

The shopkeeper frowned secretly, feeling that something was not right.

Those people are always quick and efficient, why haven't they taken action for so long?

However, similar situations have happened before, maybe it was delayed by something.

She decided to wait a little longer.

Another hour passed, and the inn was still calm.

The shopkeeper became more and more anxious as he waited, and finally couldn't help but send a message over there.

However, after the message was sent, there was no response, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead.

Could it be that I failed?

That shouldn't be the case. Although that blood cultivator has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, she has lost nearly 70% of the blood in her body, so the strength she can exert is extremely limited.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't have failed.

The shopkeeper was restless for a while, and finally couldn't help it and decided to go upstairs to try it out.

She walked quietly towards the room and was about to put her ear to the ground to listen to the movement inside when the door of the room was suddenly opened.

The shopkeeper was startled and stopped involuntarily.

She raised her head and saw the blood cultivator standing at the door, still looking shriveled and weak.

She looked even weaker than before.

Meng Wan was a little surprised when she saw the shopkeeper who suddenly appeared.

"Boss, why are you here?"

The shopkeeper forced a smile and suppressed the panic in his heart.

Even if those people were killed, it had nothing to do with her. She had done nothing except passing on the message.

"Nothing, I just came to ask if you're comfortable living here and if you need anything."

Meng Wan didn't seem to suspect the other party.

"Everything is in the room. There's nothing I need. I just finished repairing and was about to go out."

The shopkeeper quickly made way for him and said, "Sir, please make your own way. If you need anything, you can always call me."

Meng Wan nodded, turned and walked downstairs.

The shopkeeper looked at her back and felt a little uneasy.

Although the other party behaved very normally, it was this kind of normality that made things even more wrong.

The other party may have noticed something, but for some reason, did not break up with me.

After seeing the other party walk out of the inn, the shopkeeper quickly returned to the counter, took out the communication talisman again, and prepared to send a message to ask again.

But at this moment, her hand was suddenly clamped, and a skinny hand took away the communication talisman from her hand.

The shopkeeper widened his eyes and looked at the person who came. It was the blood cultivator from before!

Hadn't she left the inn long ago? When did she come back? She hadn't even noticed someone had approached her and even had her things stolen!

Realizing that something was wrong, the shopkeeper panicked a little, but forced himself to calm down and said in a displeased tone.

"What are you doing?"

Meng Wan examined the communication talisman in her hand with great interest. "Did you call those people over earlier?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

The shopkeeper made up his mind and decided to refuse to admit it.

Although the other party snatched her communication talisman, there was no news from the other side. There was only one possibility.

They took action, but were killed by Xue Xiu in the end, and never had the chance to reply to their message.

In that case, wouldn't it be easy for her to remove herself from this matter?

Of course, there is another reason why the shopkeeper is so confident.

Those who can open a shop in Yinyue Market have some connections.

Her great-aunt was a foundation-building cultivator and one of the leaders of Yinyue Market.

This kind of identity and background is her real reliance.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper asked coldly, "Do you know who I was communicating with just now?"

Meng Wan was indeed curious, "Who is it?"

"My great-aunt!"

The shopkeeper's face showed a hint of pride. "My great-aunt is Fairy Rongyu, one of the founders of this Yinyue Market. If you dare to harm me, my great-aunt will never forgive you!"

Meng Wan's hands trembled, and she quickly placed the teleportation talisman on the counter and respectfully apologized to the shopkeeper.

"Ah, so Senior Rongyu actually has such a relationship with you, how disrespectful!

This is a small token of my appreciation. Please don't take it personally, boss. "

As she spoke, Meng Wan smiled and took out a small bag of spirit stones and placed it on the table.

Seeing that Xue Xiu returned the communication talisman and also presented him with spirit stones in a sensible manner, the shopkeeper felt much better.

"That's right, you're sensible. I won't hold it against you this time, but if it happens again, I'll definitely ask my great-aunt to seek justice for me!"

"Haha, boss, you're joking. There won't be a next time."

Meng Wan smiled awkwardly, "I still have some things to buy, so let's not talk about it for now."

After watching Meng Wan walk away, the shopkeeper's expression turned cold.

"They are all useless. They can't even handle a blood cultivator with blood deficiency, and they even exposed me."

Although she evaded the question with words and even used her great-aunt's status to intimidate the other party, the other party was not stupid. If she thought about it carefully, she would be able to connect the matter to her.

Because of my great-aunt's status, the blood cultivator certainly wouldn't dare to do anything bad to me openly, but it's hard to say what he would do in secret.

In short, only the dead will not pose a threat to oneself.

The shopkeeper's face was gloomy for a while. He burned the communication talisman on the table to ashes, took out another communication talisman, and contacted the other side.

While the shopkeeper continued to call people, Meng Wan strolled around the market, occasionally stopping to chat with stall owners she liked.

This Yinyue Market was jointly established by four foundation-building cultivators, and its scale was slightly larger than the market she had visited in the Xuanyin Sect.

Among the four foundation-building cultivators, the strongest one has reached the late foundation-building stage, but he has not appeared in public for many years and is very mysterious.

Among the other three, only the abbot is in the middle stage of foundation building, while the other two are in the early stage of foundation building.

Fairy Rong Yu, the innkeeper's great-aunt, is one of them.

With a foundation-building cultivator as his backer, it's no wonder that the shopkeeper dares to be so rampant and openly open a black shop in the market.

Estimating that the time was almost up, Meng Wan slowly walked towards the inn.

When I arrived at the inn, I greeted the owner warmly and went straight upstairs to my room.

Seeing Meng Wan's defenseless look, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Meng Wan would never come back and all her preparations would be in vain.

Fortunately, she came back in the end.

Since she was stupid enough to think that a little bit of filial piety could get rid of her, don't blame her for being cruel.

The shopkeeper's eyes hardened, and he decisively followed Meng Wan, quietly going upstairs to listen to what was going on.
