When the carriage entered the next town, it was already dusk.
"Master, we have arrived." Hu Dao brought the carriage to a halt in front of the largest tavern in the town.
As Hu Dao’s voice faded, the carriage curtain was lifted.
The first to descend from the carriage was Qin Ye.
After he landed, he turned to Rong Jin, who was peering out, and said, "Jin, e out."
Rong Jin had been in the carriage for so long... regardless, he was of an age still considered youthful, and had surely had enough of staying inside.
So, when he heard he could get out, especially with Sister’s permission... he was somewhat impatient.
Just as Hu Dao saw young master Jin of the Rong Family ing out and was about to reach out and lift him down, a pair of slender hands were quicker.
"I’ll do it." It was Qin Ye who spoke.
He lifted Rong Jin down.
Then, when Rong Yan exited the carriage, Hu Dao automatically stepped aside.
Qin Ye quickly reached out his hand... he hoped to assist his beloved.
However, Rong Yan merely glanced at him and jumped down from the other side.
Qin Ye: ...
Alright! He had just forgotten that this lifesaver’s bat Power was very high.
So, this little distance from the carriage to the ground was nothing to her, really.
He walked around to the other side, "Let’s go inside."
When they entered, the tavern was quite empty... one could even say it looked desolate.
It seemed like there were no other guests in what should have been a bustling tavern.
The Shopkeeper was guarding the tavern and was nodding off at the counter... thinking that there would be no guests that night, and was about to close soon.
Suddenly, he heard some noises.
So, he looked up... and instantly, his drowsiness vanished.
He hurried out from behind the counter to greet them, "Guests, would you like refreshments or a room?"
The moment he saw the outstanding demeanor of the leading man and woman, he dared not stare.
In such a scenario, Qin Ye didn’t need to say anything, Hu Dao stepped forward, immediately procuring a Silver Ingot.
"Get us your best two rooms and also your tavern’s finest meal..."
Originally, he had no silver on him.
The last piece had already been given by his master to Miss Rong.
But, Miss Rong, kind-hearted... after taking the jade pendant from her master, returned fifty taels of silver to him.
So, the master had told him to hold these fifty taels.
That’s why he had such confidence now.
Otherwise, they really wouldn’t have had the money for lodging and dining!
When the Shopkeeper saw the silver, his eyes lit up greatly.
His whole demeanor became exceedingly warm, "Guests, please, upstairs!" These past two months, times had been unstable, and their tavern had been barely breaking even.
If it continued like this, in less than ten or fifteen days... the tavern would truly have to shut down for good.
These unexpectedly noble guests were a delightful surprise.
He personally led these distinguished guests upstairs and arranged two excellent rooms for them.
When he was about to go back downstairs, Hu Dao followed him.
The Shopkeeper was still very perceptive, "Do the guests need anything else?"
Hu Dao glanced at him, "Send up hot water to both rooms, and also, the carriage outside..."
The Shopkeeper didn’t let him finish and immediately responded, "Rest assured guests, our backyard has ample space for parking carriages, and moreover, we will ensure your horse is well-fed!"
