"You are quite open-minded. The Lord of Xixiang City has not returned yet, and the place we went to last night is now surrounded by the Northwest Wolf Group. We can't get in at all." Gu Nanji glanced at Yi Yami who was eating and said.
"If we can't get in, then we can't get in. Although he is an old friend of my ancestor, he is of no help to us at the moment. Besides, who knows whether what he said is true or false? The wolves he raised will only speak in his favor. We have no way of knowing whether what he said is true or false. We have seen so many messed up things now, and it is very likely that seeing is not believing." Yiyami didn't know why she felt that she couldn't trust the black-horned goat.
"Okay, then we should stay away from him from now on." Gu Beijian said.
"There's no need. If we can use him, we should still use him. Using him and guarding against him don't conflict with each other." Yi Yami raised the corner of his mouth.
Murong Jinyi looked at Yi Yami and said with a smile, "I used to think you were quite simple, but now I think you are quite bad."
"Whether something is bad or not depends on your position. There is no absolute good or absolute bad. Good people will do bad things and bad people will do good things. We cannot ask everyone to maintain an appearance of truth, goodness and beauty at all times. What we can do is to maintain the appearance that we can maintain, which is the best." Yiyami smiled.
"That's true." Murong Jinyi smiled and nodded.
Yi Yami finished her meal and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. "Are you going to act now, or tonight?"
"Now, I heard that hyenas are very active at night. We should go now while they are not so active and give it a try to see if we can get close to the Black Swamp and find out what's going on." Gu Beijian said after glancing at the sky.
"Okay, I'll listen to you," Yi Yami called to the innkeeper, "Boss, we still need to stay one more night. Let's extend the bill first and then we'll settle it together at the end."
"No, our store settles bills once a day and does not support all-in-one bill settlement at the end." The innkeeper shook his head.
"Why is your inn like this?" Murong Jinyi was a little angry. He had never encountered an inn like this before.
"Sir, please calm down. We are a small business and few of us can come back alive from the Black Swamp. So we are acting for the benefit of our store. Please understand." The innkeeper smiled apologetically.
"Forget it, forget it. We are both businessmen, and I understand how you feel. Let's just settle it per day. We would also like to trouble the shopkeeper to keep an eye on the child for us and not let her leave this inn." Yiyami said as he prepared to pay.
"Sir, if you want us to see the person, there will be another price." The innkeeper said with a smile in his eyes.
"Just tell us how much you want. We can afford it." Yiyami was a little impatient.
"Okay, sir, you have four rooms in total, one tael of gold for each room. You drank four cups of green thorn juice yesterday and had a meal today, so the total is four taels of gold and one tael of silver. Oh, I forgot, you also have horses, and we will help you look after them. One horse is one tael of silver, so the total is four taels of gold and five taels of silver. Looking after the children is two taels of silver. The total is four taels of gold and seven taels of silver." As he spoke, the innkeeper picked up the abacus and started calculating.
After counting, Yiyami took out four ingots of gold and seven ingots of silver and gave them to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper took one look and smiled broadly, "Thank you for your patronage. I'll give you a discount when you check out tomorrow."
"Alright, take good care of this child. If anything goes wrong, I won't let you off easily." Yi Yami handed Xiao Lian to the innkeeper. "Just arrange what the child needs to eat and drink. I'll pay the bill when I get back."
"Okay, take care, we will take good care of her for you." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Yi Yami and others left the inn one after another and headed towards the central Black Swamp.
"Everyone, be careful. I feel something is wrong here." Gu Beijian smelled the blood in the air and spoke.
"Everyone, please come closer and don't be too far away," said Gu Nanji.
Just as Murong Jinyi and others were about to tie up the horses, they heard the horses start neighing, as if they heard some terrifying sound, and they all ran away the next second.
Yi Yami and others turned their heads to look over. It was a black mass that looked a bit creepy. Each one was over 1.8 meters tall and had a strong body. If it weren't for the hyena's head, they would have thought it was a strong man.
Each hyena was wielding a weapon in his hand, some were machetes, some were meteor hammers, and some were scissors.
"Brothers, there will be a fierce battle coming up, so be mentally prepared." As soon as Yiyami finished speaking, he saw all the hyena groups launching an attack.
