After leaving the village, Bai Yunfei immediately headed north. In order to avoid those men from the Zhang family who were looking for him everywhere, he only followed mountainous paths, tramping over mountains and through ravines, hoping that he could get out of Qingyun Province in the best-case scenario, namely without being detected.
However, he also knew that this was almost impossible. In terms of finding ways alone, he would have to frequently go to populated places to ask questions so that he would not go in the wrong direction, not to mention he would have to replenish the various daily life necessities in his interspatial ring.
Alas… it is quite troublesome to have a slightly poor sense of direction…
After three days like this, with Bai Yunfei practicing the Wave Treading Steps along the way, he had already gone a very long way.
Having crossed a wooded mountain top, Bai Yunfei climbed up a large tree and looked around. His eyes suddenly brightened. He then jumped down with a happy expression and scurried towards the foot of the mountain.
“I’ve finally found a place with a lot of people. Judging from its size, it should be a town. Let’s stay there for a night to have a good rest, eat some tasty foods and conveniently ask for direction!”
However, when he had just run away a short distance, he slowed down abruptly with a thoughtful expression.
“However, I don’t know if the Zhang family’s forces are present in that town or not. But this place is very far from Luoshi City. Plus, it’s a remote place, so they shouldn’t be there… I won’t stroll around outside and will only find a hotel to rest for a night then leave tomorrow. Yeah, there shouldn’t be any problem…”
After making his decision, he sped up again without hesitation heading for that small town not far up ahead.
……
In the evening in the town of Old Well, on a bustling street of the small town, a youngster who looked travel-worn and weary was going slowly with his head slightly lowered, making it impossible for other people to see his face clearly. He was looking around in a seemingly curious yet actually alert manner.
After quickly buying the necessary goods and materials from various business shops, Bai Yunfei went to the only hotel in town.
In the rather spacious hall of the Happy Arrival Hotel, a few customers were sitting at several tables. As soon as the servant standing at the counter saw a visitor come in, he ran up solicitously and said with a big smile: “Welcome, sir! May I ask if you stop for a meal or to stay in the hotel?
Bai Yunfei cast a look at him then lowered his head and walked towards a table in a corner while telling him: “I’m here for both! Bring me all the best foods in your hotel and prepare a room for me. I’ll rest in there after having dinner.”
When he finished talking, he had already walked up to that corner. He then sat down on a stool and did not talk again, putting up an unsociable facade.
The servant looked at Bai Yunfei doubtfully several times, seeming to have rarely seen such a strange guest. Bai Yunfei frowned and said discontentedly: “Why are you still there?!”
“Ah, yes! Yes! Please wait a minute, sir. Your food will be ready very soon!” The servant said repeatedly. It seemed that only now did he react.
Bai Yunfei touched his stomach, which had already begun to protest, and thought in his mind: “I can finally eat a good meal…”
“Er, sir…” A shout rang out in front of him. Bai Yunfei was surprised for a moment. As he lifted his eyes and looked, he saw that the servant had turned around and come back.
“What’s up?”
