The shopkeeper took them into the wing room and comforted them. "The waiter will bring the food and hot water to you later. Please have a good rest, my dear guests."

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Cui Yuan nodded. The shopkeeper did not leave, but stayed behind to instruct the three people, "If you have any instructions, please feel free to contact the waiter. Shopkeeper, I have only one request. Please do not go to the third floor. We cannot afford to disturb you!"

Cui Yuan perked up a bit, his sharp eyes flashed with a faint light, and the corners of his mouth contained an approachable smile, "Boss, can you say a few more words? Who is the important person who is staying here? I am afraid that we are from humble backgrounds and may accidentally disturb the distinguished guests."

The shopkeeper looked around and whispered, "I don't know who he is. But I've been a shopkeeper for many years, and I have some good eyesight with so many customers coming and going. I guess the distinguished guest on the third floor is from an important person..."

The shopkeeper said some ambiguous words and closed the door of the rooms for the guests.

"What distinguished guest? Humph, I think it's just a trick!" Xiao Ranran's face was full of disdain.

There are always some people who claim that they have eaten more salt than others have eaten rice, but she just doesn't believe it!

"Brother Yu, what do you think?" Cui Yuan ignored the indignant Xiao Ranran, and instead asked the taciturn Yu Wuhen beside him.

Yu Wuhen looked back expressionlessly, "I have no opinion. It's better to stay still than to move. Just don't go looking for trouble."

Yu Wuhen is the dignified master of Yaowang Valley. He has lived a secluded life for many years. Although he has almost no experience in the martial arts world, it does not mean that he has no brains.

Cui Yuan nodded in appreciation, affirming his opinion, "Yes, when traveling in the martial arts world, being cautious is more important than anything else." She turned back and warned the impulsive Xiao Ranran, "Miss Xiao, I think you should not underestimate anyone or anything, am I right?"

Since the benefactor had said so, Xiao Ranran could only nod reluctantly, "Brother Cui, don't worry, I will stay in the room quietly and not go out to wander around!"

Three people lived in one room, and she had only mediocre skills. If she slipped out, it would be difficult for her to avoid being discovered.

I really think highly of her.

The waiter quickly brought hot meals and hot water, and after the three of them had their meals, they went to bed.

The only bed was naturally left for Xiao Ranran to sleep on. Yu Wuhen gave the small couch by the window to Cui Yuan and took a rest on the table himself.

Cui Yuan bowed, "Thank you, Brother Yu."

Yu Wuhen lay down and said in a low voice, "You're welcome, Brother Cui——"

Xiao Ranran: "..."

Xiao Ranran was already fast asleep on the bed. After tossing and turning for so long during the day, she naturally closed her eyes in three seconds as soon as she touched the bed, not even giving her time to struggle.

The next day, Cui Yuan, who would always get up on time no matter how late she slept, practiced martial arts in the yard of the inn for a while. She wiped the sweat off her face as she walked into the lobby on the first floor of the inn.

"Brother Cui, you got up really early!" Xiao Ranran tried hard to squeeze out a word to praise her, "This is what the book says - get up and dance at the sound of the cock-crow -"

Cui Yuan paused while wiping his sweat, and said with a smile: "Miss Xiao, you are too kind to praise me. I don't get up that early, so I really don't deserve it."

"Brother Cui, come and have breakfast!" Xiao Ranran saw the waiter coming over and quickly patted the empty seat next to him, "Sit here, Brother Cui!"

Wouldn't that be walking into a trap?

I couldn't handle this young lady's enthusiasm to begin with, and now that she was sitting so close to me, I couldn't resist it any more.

Having too many admirers can sometimes be a headache.

Cui Yuan was so anxious that she quickly took the seat next to Yu Wuhen, causing the other person to give her a strange look, "Are you sick?"

Cui Yuan:……

She would not bother with this man who had never seen the world.

Xiao Ranran was very angry but she couldn't show it. Yu Wuhen's cold face was also quite scary.

The three were having breakfast when they saw several waiters from the inn passing by. They vaguely heard some of them saying something like "bring the horses over here" and "put on the reins".

The servants led out four blue horses with white hair from the stable. They were pure blue with a lightning-shaped streak of white hair on their foreheads. The bridles were made of pure gold, which were rich and gorgeous, making the horses look extraordinary, tall and mighty.

Such fine horses are produced in the Western Regions and are a famous breed in the Western Regions.

Because of its blue and white coloration, it is called Qingcong horse. It is rare to find a breed with such beautiful hair, not to mention that it is a tribute from the Western Regions.

Ordinary people have never seen it, let alone know this kind of horse.

Cui Yuan was able to know them because his family was a century-old family and he had seen and heard of some strange things.

Even so, it was impossible for the two of them to own more than one famous horse with such pure coat color.

Generally speaking, good horses are always inseparable from military equipment.

There were more than one type of famous horse breeds that were paid tribute from the Western Regions, but most of these horses with excellent performance were allocated to the cavalry battalions to arm their combat power.

Cui Yuan's father, Cui Xingjian, a civil official, knew little about these military affairs, and all Cui Yuan could get was some scattered information.

This resulted in her only having a vague understanding of the horse's owner's identity, and she lost the opportunity to explore.

Even a woman like Xiao Ranran who didn't know the current situation couldn't help but praise, "Good horse!"

Although Yu Wuhen didn't say anything, the light in his eyes couldn't lie.

The servants led four good horses to the front and back of the carriage and tied them up. The distinguished guests would be getting on the carriage soon, and the shopkeeper had instructed that no mistakes were allowed!

It is really a waste to use such a famous horse to pull a carriage!

Cui Yuan thought.

At this moment, Chen Jia, who had finished breakfast in the room, finally went out. She was covered in a lavender fox fur coat and had a veil on her head. She lowered her head slightly, and the road below was very clear.

To be honest, veil hats are a benefit for people with social anxiety!

Apart from obstructing vision, it can block wind and sand and prevent prying eyes. It is perfect.

Chen Jia followed behind the Regent, while Fuyun and Minghe came last. They were always alert to the movements around them and maintained a high level of vigilance.

After getting on the carriage, Minghe and Fuyun sat on the frame, one on the left and one on the right. Minghe let out a loud "whoa", and the four green horses pulled the carriage forward quickly.

"Huh..." When the carriage went far away, so far that the back of the carriage could hardly be seen, Xiao Ranran breathed a sigh of relief, "I was scared to death just now!"

When the black-robed man who had led the way walked past the three of them with an expressionless face, she subconsciously held her breath and didn't dare to make a sound to disturb them.

This is really the first time I have seen a man with such a powerful aura. I wonder where he came from.

Yu Wuhen also frowned, looking worried.

"Since we are here, we should make the best of it." After Cui Yuan had eaten her fill, she straightened up and said, "Let's get going soon."

Their goal is the martial arts event being held in Siyang City - the election of the martial arts leader. The winner will become the new martial arts leader and call on all the sects in the world to join.

Cui Yuan is determined to win the title of leader of the martial arts world. She is very confident that with her current strength, there are few warriors in the martial arts world who can surpass her.

Although she was shocked by what happened this morning, that was all.

After all, the underworld and the imperial court have always kept their distance from each other.
