The manor's defensive sword formation was temporarily withdrawn, and Mu Run, dressed as a maid, left the manor without any hindrance. No wonder Leng Zhi chose to act on the day of the wedding; it was because the defenses of Fuxi Manor would be at their lowest that day, practically zero.
Leng Zhi had told her before that she could leave after the wedding. She didn't need to meet with them; she could find a way back to Youdu on her own.
Upon arriving in Youdu, go directly to the city lord's mansion to collect the gold.
But how is she supposed to get back?
Mu Run stood on the dock. There were many boats of all sizes, probably all there to attend the wedding banquet.
Looking back at Fuxi Manor, Mu Run said apologetically, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. It was all done by the Lord of Youdu City. Young Master, please don't come after me."
He jumped into a small boat and rowed away by himself.
No matter where we went, we left this mountain villa that was about to become a place of trouble.
As darkness fell, Mu Run returned to the dock where she and Leng Zhi had last parted ways.
There were no ships here, not even a soul on the dock. The distant town lights twinkled, and wisps of smoke rose from the chimneys, making her seem even more lonely and desolate.
“Alright, I’ll go back by myself, it’ll save me the trouble.” Mu Run took out a yacht from his spatial storage and jumped aboard.
He took Gudu out of his spatial storage, told him the route and how to drive the yacht, and then lay down in the passenger seat, comfortably dozing off.
Shortly after she left, a beam of light descended from the sky.
The person who arrived was dressed in the wedding attire of a groom...
...
A day later, Mu Run's yacht arrived near Huayan Mountain.
She put away the yacht and the Gudu, and continued rowing the small boat she had taken from Fuxi Villa toward Youdu.
After Guo San'er saw the guests ashore, he stopped the boat and prepared to rest.
Just as he tied up the boat, he saw a small boat sailing towards him, and the boatman on the boat turned out to be a woman.
Upon closer inspection, Guo San'er recognized the other person. "It's you."
Mu Run saw him too and waved, "Could you stop the boat for me?"
"Throw the rope to me," Guo San'er shouted.
Mu Run tossed him the boat rope, and the boat slowly approached the shore. She then jumped onto the dock, saying, "Thank you."
"It's no trouble at all. Why are you rowing the boat yourself, sir?" (M.cascoo.net)
"Well, it's a long story. Are you going to town too?"
"Have a bite to eat, then come back and wait for work."
"Let's go together then."
"good."
...
Mu Run and Guo San'er chatted idly all the way to the city gate.
Guo San'er showed the city guards his identification card as a boatman on the dogwood boat, and they let them in.
As for Mu Run, the city guards assumed he was a tourist brought by Guo San'er, so they let him pass without questioning him.
"This place is completely different at night and during the day," Mu Run said, looking at the bustling crowd around her.
Guo San'er pushed away a child who was about to bump into Mu Run.
Mu Run looked at him in surprise, "What's wrong?"
“He’s a pickpocket,” Guo San’er said to Mu Run. “Here, you have to keep a close eye on your wallet.”
“…” Mu Run recalled that her sleeve pocket had been touched five times in that short distance. “Sigh, it was just a bit messy.”
"No one who comes here escapes being robbed; the only question is how much. Do you have a place to stay, sir?"
"Yes, I'm at the Star Gazing Tower." Mu Run gazed at the brightly lit tower in the distance. "That's the one."
"The Star Gazing Tower is expensive; even the cheapest one costs at least twenty taels of silver per night."
"Really?" This price is comparable to a six-star hotel.
