“Heheh… Heheh…” The innkeeper smiled wildly, hugging the crystals, attracting everyone’s attention. This innkeeper was indeed money-minded that he was unafraid of offending those from the Heavenly Tiger Hall and was not at all afraid of being arrested by them.

Only Sima You Yue and the rest could tell that this inn was no ordinary inn, and that that innkeeper was no ordinary man. Even if this innkeeper was that money-minded, he wouldn’t be willing to risk his life for money. If he dared to take in Sima You Yue and the team, it must mean that he was not afraid of the Heavenly Tiger Hall.

Oddly, Sima You Yue was unable to feel out this innkeeper’s powers. It not only meant that his powers were formidable, but possibly greater than she would imagine! She was not the only one who thought that way – even Sima You Lin and Sima You Ran had similar thoughts.

“This is your room! This is the key, and feel free to call us should you need anything.” The butler said while passing the keys to Sima You Yue, before exiting down the stairs. Sima You Yue passed the keys to each person. After receiving their keys, they went into their own rooms to rest.

Sima You Yue looked around the house before returning downstairs. When the innkeeper had caught sight of her, he smiled at her. Sima You Yue walked over and placed a bag of crystals on the table. When the innkeeper saw the jewels, he smiled happily and said, “Do you have any needs?”

“I’ll trade fifty crystals for some information.” Sima You Yue said unhesitatingly.

The innkeeper looked at the crystals and then back at Sima You Yue, saying, “I don’t know that much about the Heavenly Tiger Hall myself. If you give me this much, you’re not getting much in return.”

“I don’t want to hear about the Heavenly Tiger Hall.” Sima You Yue said. She had already heard what she needed from Zhou Shu Ren, and did not need much more of that.

“What do you want to know then?” The innkeeper asked.

“I want to know about the outsides of the Heavenly Tiger Ridge.” Sima You Yue said.

The innkeeper’s eyes shone, saying, “How would I know about the things outside of the Heavenly Tiger Hall?”

“Aren’t you from the Heavenly Tiger Ridge? How could you not know about the goings-on there?” Sima You Yue smiled, saying, not giving him a chance to deny his identity. “If you’re not interested in the crystals, then there’s no point continuing this conversation.” With that, she proceeded to remove the crystals, but not before his hand scooped them away.

“Ask what you want.” The innkeeper said.

Sima You Yue saw that the innkeeper had a rather hesitant look on his face and smiled, asking, “I want to know if there is any other way to leave the Heavenly Tiger Hall other than through the Hall’s transportation array.”

“There is.” The innkeeper replied.

“How? Sima You Yue asked.

“The Heavenly Tiger Ridge is very small. If you ride a flying beast, you will reach in a few month’s time.” The innkeeper replied. Sima You Yue frowned – what kind of terrible answer is that?

“Are there no other transportation arrays?” She asked.

“No.” The innkeeper shook his head. “The Heavenly Tiger Ridge is very secluded and backwards. There are not much resources for refinery, and so those of power do not wish to come down here.”

“How did you get here then?”

The innkeeper hesitated for a moment before he said, “I am stuck here. Who knew that after I arrived that the Heavenly Tiger Hall’s transportation array would break down. I was also too lazy to ride a flying beast, so I just decided to stay.”
