Chapter 354: Dark Silhouette
The innkeeper then ran off in a hurry . Even though Bai Luochu was suspicious of him, she decided to keep it to herself, after all, he wasn’t a threat to her yet . Thinking up to this point, she then closed the door and went to rest .
“Knock knock,” Just as she laid on the bed, someone knocked on the door . “Who is it?”
Pei Rumo whispered, “It’s me, I have something to discuss with you . ”
Bai Luochu opened the door and asked, “Is there something important you need to tell me?” Bai Luochu asked . However, she already knew Pei Rumo’s purpose for seeking her out .
“Don’t you think that this innkeeper is a little strange?”
As she expected, Pei Rumo was here because of the innkeeper . She then replied with a question of her own, “Is there a normal shopkeeper in the Desolate Region?”
Pei Rumo muttered to himself for a short moment and felt that what Bai Luochu had said was indeed reasonable . However, he still felt that it was somewhat strange . “What you say is indeed reasonable, but I think that this innkeeper is far too strange . If he was hostile to both of us, I might be able to understand that he has an attitude problem . However, he treated you strangely well . I’m afraid that something might be up and we might be targeted by somebody . ”
“Your First HIghness… are you feeling jealous because he treats me better?” Bai Luochu teased Pei Rumo in an attempt to relieve his anxiety .
Even though Pei Rumo understood her intentions, he still felt worried, “You obviously know that’s not what I meant . Anyway, just stay alert and shout for help if anything happens . ”
After seeing Bai Luochu nod her head, Pei Rumo turned around and left .

Truthfully speaking, Pei Rumo's worries weren't unfounded . Other than being oddly nice to Bai Luochu, the innkeeper was also suspicious as he had deliberately arranged Bai Luochu’s room to be far away from the others . In fact, it would be strange to not suspect him .
Even though Bai Luochu was suspicious, she knew that all she needed to do was to wait for the innkeeper to take the bait . He would definitely take action once night falls .
When Bai Luochu ended her cultivation, it was already deep into the night . If someone wanted to take action against her, it was about time they struck . Hence, she started to make some preparations .
Bai Luochu took out her sword and polished it and was prepared to cut down her assailants the moment they appeared . Suddenly, Bai Luochu placed her sword on the table and pretended to doze off .
At this moment, a shadow darted out from one of the rooms in the front yard and crept towards Bai Luochu’s room .
The lack of people in the Desolate Region coupled with the weather made it a perfect time to kill someone .

As the night once again enveloped the yard, it was pitch black everywhere as the moonlight was blocked by thick clouds . It was impossible to see one’s own shadow in the yard, and the only thing that could be heard was the sound of the gale blowing through the night .
As the dark silhouette approached, Bai Luochu only had one thought in her mind .
Not long after, Bai Luochu could feel the dark silhouette standing right outside the door, and was waiting for the right opportunity to enter .
“Creak” The dark silhouette opened the door and darted in before immediately closing it behind him .
After noticing that there was no one in the room other than Bai Luochu, the shadow heaved a sigh of relief before reaching out his hand to tap her shoulder .

At this moment, a ray of light illuminated the room and blinded the dark silhouette . He covered his eyes and retracted his hand . In the next instant, he felt a chill at the back of his neck . He realized that the light came from the reflection of the moon when Bai Luochu drew her sword .
“I’m touched that someone remembered about my presence and decided to visit me despite the bad weather . You definitely took a lot of effort to come up with your plan . What is your reason for coming here? If you are here with bad intentions, please talk to my sword instead . ”
The shadow was shocked and he wanted to retreat . However, he decided against it after seeing that the sword was placed behind his neck .
Bai Luochu opened her eyes, and a grin formed on her face . I knew it, the innkeeper is here . However, she didn’t understand why the man was so impatient . He could have dragged his plan out for them to lower their guard before taking action .
Bai Luochu didn’t expect for him to tear off a piece of skin from his face before revealing his true appearance .
When Bai Luochu saw him tearing off the mask on his face, she had a faint conjecture in her heart . Now that his face was revealed, there was no longer a need for her to question his identity . It was as though she was struck by lightning as she stared at him without blinking . She stared into his eyes as she waited for an answer .
