Cause previously when he tried to detect that male wizard's mana, his Mother's Mana was stronger, wasn't. Even a thousand times stronger when compared to that men.

After a few minutes, a guard entered the room.

"Please come with me gentlemen, your inn is ready," he said to Huang bao and everyone else in the room.

"Okay, wait outside," replied Huang Bao in the affirmative.

"Teacher, act like before, you guys too," said Fu Xie Lan looking at Huang Bao, Wan Lie, and Xue Ning in turn.

"Anything for you, little girl," replied Huang Bao.

They then prepared to leave the room. Wan Lie brought that male wizard because of Fu Xie Lan's request.

Suddenly Fu Xie Lan's body lifted.

"What are you doing?" She protested to Gu Yi who suddenly carried her from behind.

"Don't protest honey, or you'll make them suspect you," he whispered in Fu Xie Lan's ear and managed to make the girl hold her breath as the heat from Gu Yi's breath hit her earlobe.

They then left the room and immediately met the guard who would take them to the inn provided by the City Master.

Using horse-drawn carriages, they moved without a hitch on the road. From the top of the carriage, Fu Xie Lan looked out through the window without taking her eyes off one bit. There was only Gu Yi and the girl in the carriage, while the rest, were on different carriages.

There was no conversation between the two, Gu Yi looked at the girl in front of him from behind his hood.

Fu Xie Lan who sensed that someone was staring at her chose to remain silent, and ignored him, pretending not to know.

After traveling for about an hour, they came to a not-so-big building.

There were no more shops or merchants to be seen in the area, only similar buildings lined the streets. Guided by two guards, they entered an inn that looked more like a typical home. The wall fence with white shades stands not so high, the yard full of various kinds of flower plants looks so beautiful. No sound reached Fu Xie Lan's senses except for the sound of their footsteps and the sound of their speaking. So quiet and comfortable, very different from where she was before which was very crowded and hot.

After escorting Elder Huang Bao and the others into the inn, the guard who escorted them quickly said goodbye.

"If you need anything, you just say. Two of my friends will be guarding outside the gate," he said goodbye.

"Alright, thank you," replied Huang Bao.

Fu Xie Lan and Xue Ning immediately lay down on the living room sofa, while Wan Lie, the young man chose to go around after placing the man he brought in one of the rooms in the inn. Huang Bao also rested his body a bit, while Gu Yi, sat right at the feet of Fu Xie Lan who was lying.

Hao who was with them jumped onto the back of the sofa and stayed there.

Fu Xie Lan closed her eyes, too many things that happened today made her body a little tired. The mana she expended earlier also required her to rest for at least a few hours.

Suddenly her body was lifted again, Gu Yi carried her back in a bridal style to one of the rooms which was not far from the living room.

"Don't complain, honey. Your body will hurt if you don't rest properly," said the man to Fu Xie Lan.

This time, the girl did not rebel and chose to obey. Her body was too tired just to protest against the man again.

The first time, Fu Xie Lan didn't object to his behavior and it managed to make one corner of the man's lips lift, smiling faintly.

He then laid Fu Xie Lan's body on the bed very carefully. Hao who was trailing under his feet irritated him a little and with a quick motion, he kicked the little creature through the door and flew out of the room. Luckily Wan Lie who was passing in front of the room immediately caught Hao, otherwise, the creature would hit the floor hard.

Fu Xie Lan who was treated very gently by Gu Yi again created a red blush on her cheeks, her heart was racing again very fast. She did not know what was wrong with her body, every time the man approached her, the girl always felt a feeling that was very difficult to explain.

"Thank you," Fu Xie Lan squeaked.

"If you thank me, may I kiss you once?" Gu Yi replied with a seductive smile. The hood he was wearing went down and revealed his perfect face.

Fu Xie Lan reflex rose from her position, and...

"Ahhh."

A kick flew right at the man's leg and managed to make him scream.

Not because of pain, but rather the feeling of shock at Fu Xie Lan's sudden action.

"Get out," shouted Fu Xie Lan.

Currently, Huang Bao, Wan Lie, and Xue Ning were standing in front of the bedroom door which was not locked at all and was still wide open, the screams they heard made the reflexes the people move quickly towards the origin of the sound.

"What did you see?" said Gu Yi when he found the three people staring at him.

Huang Bao and Wan Lie did not respond and immediately left, while Xue Ning, the girl was frozen to the spot. For the first time in her life, she saw such a perfect face. Handsome, charismatic, dignified, and cruel at the same time. A second later she was made aware of a fact that made her wonder.

'Why is that man's face so similar to Wan Lie's? What relationship do they have?'

Suddenly a hand pulled her away from the front of the room. The owner of that hand was Wan Lie. Dragging her body from thereafter closing the bedroom door and locking it from the outside.

"Don't bother them," he said to the girl.

Hearing Wan Lie's voice, Xue Ning subconsciously raised her hand and held Wan Lie's cheek who was now not wearing a mask and was standing right in front of her.

"So similar," she muttered.

"What are you doing? take care of your attitude," said Wan Lie slapping Xue Ning's hand and keeping a little distance from the girl.

"O-oh I-I'm sorry," Xue Ning stuttered when she realized what she had done. The girl's face turned red from embarrassment.

Wan Lie didn't respond to the girl and turned to leave her.

While on the other hand, Gu Yi who saw the bedroom door closed, smiled faintly.

The room is white, with a table and bed of the same color making the room look a little wider. The bedroom window was still closed making the room a little dark because there was no lighting.

"It wasn't me who locked the door," he said, turning back to Fu Xie Lan.
