"If you say one more word, this inn will have to change managers." Dong Dan Mo Zhen's otherwise delicate features were transformed into a fierce expression, completely ruining the original beauty of her features and leaving only a fierce and domineering look.
The shopkeeper knew that Dongdan Mozhen was Dongdan Wenhao's most loyal dog, capable of killing people under his master's orders.
Seeing that Dong Danwenhao was determined to do so, the innkeeper, being of low status, could not say anything and could only obediently go and gather the inn's staff.
The inn had its own hired thugs, plus the men brought by Dong Dan Wenhao, totaling more than forty people.
Moreover, more than half of these forty-odd people are cultivators at or above the Core Formation stage.
Zhuang Shaoze, Hao Yan, and two other late-stage Core Formation cultivators shared a room, which was next to Ji Fengyao's room to the left.
When their divine senses swept over the people who were flanking them from the outer courtyard, both of them looked rather grim.
"With so many people here, why don't we go to Miss's room to avoid any mishaps?" Hao Yan suggested in a low voice.
“Since Miss has instructed us to each stay behind, let’s not make any rash moves so as not to alert the enemy,” Zhuang Shaoze said, shaking his head.
Hao Yan glanced at Zhuang Shaoze: "That's a brilliant use of the phrase 'beating the grass to scare the snake.'"
It's as if they're the ones being ambushed and hunted, not the group of people outside.
In Ji Fengyao's room at this moment, Bai Yusu, dressed in Ji Fengyao's clothes and wearing the white gauze hat that Ji Fengyao wore during the day, was shivering.
"Brother, do you think Miss will abandon us and make me her scapegoat?" Bai Yusu stammered as she transmitted her thoughts to Bai Yusheng, who was lying in the outer room pretending to be asleep. She quickly explained, "It's not that I'm unwilling to take the blame for Miss. Miss saved both my and my brother's lives. If she wanted my life, I would naturally give it to her. But we're the only two left in our family. If something happens to you too, who will go to the Bai family to rescue Mother? If Mother knew we were both dead, she definitely wouldn't be able to live either."
"Stop overthinking. Miss has her own plans. She won't abandon us. Otherwise, she wouldn't have set a time limit for us to wait for the time it takes to drink two cups of tea," Bai Yusheng said, much calmer than Bai Yusu.
Even if he hadn't established a deep level of trust with Ji Fengyao before.
But based on Qian Youying's willingness to bet on the entire direct line of the Qian family, Bai Yusheng was certain that following her mistress wholeheartedly was the right thing to do.
The brother and sister were talking.
Dong Danwenhao had already led his men up to the second floor and surrounded the upper rooms from three sides: the corridor, the back of the building, and the roof.
Everyone was waiting for Dong Dan Wenhao's letter so they could kick down the door and enter together.
Suddenly, the scene before everyone, including Dong Danwenhao who was raising his hand to give a signal, changed. They found themselves suddenly teleported to an unfamiliar, large garden filled with smoke.
"Young Master, what... what is this place? Our inn doesn't have a place like this." Dong Dan Mo Zhen nervously looked around.
“I feel there are dangers everywhere here, and there must be many traps,” another late-stage Core Formation cultivator whispered.
Dong Dan Wenhao was stuck at the late stage of Core Formation, just one step away from Nascent Soul, so he could naturally sense the danger in the garden.
Moreover, Dong Dan Wenhao is, after all, the young master of the Dong Dan family and the future successor, so his knowledge and experience are naturally greater than that of ordinary people.
Dong Danwenhao quickly realized what was happening and reminded everyone, "This is an illusion array, and it's filled with danger. It's clearly an illusion killing array. Everyone, spread out carefully and find a way to break it."
