After a bumpy morning, we finally arrived at the nearest Lingnan Town.

The town was not big and there didn't seem to be anything interesting to see. Ru Yue had no interest in it, so she just found a clean little shop to eat something and continued on her way.

At dusk, they finally arrived at Fenglai Town, which was only a day's journey away from the provincial capital and was much more prosperous and lively than other towns.

The three of them were exhausted, so they found an inn to stay in.

After washing up, Ru Yue finally felt alive again. Traveling in ancient times was really too troublesome. In her previous life, it would only take an hour or so to drive this distance. Alas, there was no way, she couldn't go back, she couldn't help but sigh.

"What's wrong? Are you too tired?" Chu Ning'an came to pick her up after changing and happened to hear her moaning. He thought that she had not yet adapted to the fatigue of the long journey, so he asked with some concern.

"No, I was just thinking about some things in the past." Ru Yue couldn't bring herself to talk about her past life with Chu Ning'an, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Let's go. It's getting late. I just asked the waiter, and he said there are a lot of delicious food here, but it's not safe to go out too late."

The two of them left the inn hand in hand and found a shop with many people and good business to satisfy their hunger.

I have to say that the power of word of mouth is quite reliable. The two were very satisfied with the meal and had to walk around the street to digest the food.

It was a late autumn night, and it was already a little cold even with thick clothes. The hustle and bustle of the day had long gone on the streets, and everyone was in a hurry. Chu Ning'an wrapped her slightly cold hands in his palms, fearing that she would catch a cold.

The streets were dark, with only a faint light coming from the shops that were still open. The two men walked to the entrance of an alley, and suddenly a dark shadow rushed out from inside, bumped into them and passed through. Before they could see who it was, the dark shadow had disappeared at the street corner not far away.

The two men looked at each other, and suddenly they seemed to think of something, and hurriedly touched themselves. As expected, the black shadow was indeed a thief.

"Oh no, the jade pendant that Prince Ye gave me is missing." Chu Ning'an exclaimed in annoyance.

Ru Yue's belongings were stored in the space, out of reach of anyone, so naturally, there was no loss or loss. The family pendant from the Kang County Prince's Mansion had been worn by a man, and because of the significant gender discrepancy, Prince Ye gave it to Chu Ning'an. But no one expected to encounter a thief in such a small town.

"Let's go back to the inn first. When we came out, the waiter specifically reminded us that it was unsafe at night. I guess he knows the reason." Ru Yue pulled Chu Ning'an, not wanting him to blame himself too much. "At most, we can spend money to buy the things back. We can't lose them under any circumstances."

"Okay, let's go back and ask clearly, so as to avoid any more trouble." It can be seen that Chu Ning'an thought so too.

The two hurried back to the inn and called the waiter into the room. "Brother Waiter, are there any unscrupulous people in our town?" Ru Yue spoke directly to the point.

The waiter was stunned and stared at the two of them blankly, as if trying to read something from their faces.

"Don't worry, little brother. We just had something stolen by a thief. Since you're a local, you must know something." Ru Yue casually took out a small piece of silver and placed it on the table. "Please tell us everything you know, little brother. We'll reward you handsomely if you find the item."

The waiter looked at the two of them, then glanced at the table twice. Finally, he walked over to the door and pushed it, making sure it was tightly closed before walking back to the two of them. He lowered his voice and said, "To be honest, my friends, there are indeed some thieves in our town who often take advantage of people's unpreparedness to steal their property."

"Where are they hiding?" Chu Ning'an asked in a low voice.

The waiter unnoticeably picked up the small change on the table and stuffed it into his sleeve pocket. "You two should go to Luoguxiang and look for it. Just walk west along this street, through two alleys, turn left and go into the third house. The one with the broken door is the one."

The two thanked the waiter and hurried out. There must be no problem with the jade pendant. Only by getting it back sooner could they feel at ease.
