Although there are no high-end inns in Baiyun Town, it is better than nothing. Living in an inn is more comfortable than sleeping in the wilderness.
Feng Lihen hummed coldly.
Hearing that this old man agreed, Lei Yuting happily handled the formalities.

When Bei Yutang took Xiao Zimo home, the shop assistants brought the purchased medicines to the door one after another.
That night, Bei Yutang used these herbs to practice with Xiao Zimo, testing his memory and trying to let him prepare the prescription.
Although the speed was a bit fast, Xiao Zimo’s performance did not disappoint her at all.
The next day, Bei Yutang still took Xiao Zimo to the mountain.
This time, he was asked to learn how to collect herbs. Bei Yutang did not intervene throughout the whole process and let him find them by himself.
At the same time, Feng Lihen and Lei Yuting were preparing to leave Baiyun Town.
When the two of them passed by the ruined temple outside the city, they saw a thin man wearing a thin robe, with a haggard face and a strong stench escaping from the ruined temple.
With Feng Lihen and Lei Yuting’s eyesight, they knew that apart from the thin robe, the inside was empty. As for the blue and purple scars on his body, it was obvious what caused them.
Looking at his slightly deformed legs, it was even clearer what he had experienced.
Lei Yuting was shocked by Zhang Zixi’s miserable appearance after just a quick glance.
He looked at the beggars chasing him and said secretly, “The beggars in Baiyun Town are really tough.”
Soon, the group of beggars caught up with Zhang Zixi, who was running away. They directly stripped off his robe.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Zixi stood naked in the cold wind, with his hands and legs supported by the beggars and carried back to the ruined temple.
“He still has the strength to run. It seems that we were too merciful last night.”
“That’s right. We must not get around him tonight.”
Several beggars said viciously.
After hearing their words, Zhang Zixi trembled, “Let me go.”
Just then, he saw two figures passing over the top of the ruined temple. They were very fast but were caught by him by chance.
Zhang Zixi ignited his hope and shouted to Feng Lihen and the other man, “Two heroes, help me.”
Feng Lihen chose to ignore him directly, but Lei Yuting couldn’t help but look at him twice more. Looking at the things on his body, his brows slightly furrowed.
What a poor scholar.
When the beggars heard Zhang Zixi’s cry for help, they couldn’t help but raise their heads and look up, and they saw two figures passing over their heads.
Zhang Zixi watched them pass by in front of his eyes.
He was unwilling to give up and shouted at the two people who were gradually going away with a hoarse voice, “Two heroes, save me.”
Even if he shouted louder, Feng Lihen and the other man didn’t stop for a moment. After a few breaths, they could no longer see the trace of the two people.
Seeing that he was so dishonest, the beggars stuffed his mouth with a rag.
Zhang Zixi looked at the sky in despair.
In his heart, he hated Bei Yutang and his son, as well as the two people who just watched him die without helping him. What he hated even more was the beggars who helped the evil.
Feng Lihen and the other man who were far away just now had already flown to the foot of the mountain in the suburbs.
Lei Yuting said, “Why didn’t you save that scholar just now?”
