"It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy..."

"Has this beautiful woman been given some kind of love potion?!"

"This kid must have used some kind of evil magic!"

A new round of discussion broke out in the inn, with everyone staring at the gold and Chen Mo.

He wished he could drag Chen Mo away and take his place.

This guy is enjoying the best of both worlds – eating and taking!

The proprietress quickly put the gold away and became even more enthusiastic: "Esteemed guests, please follow me."

As she spoke, she personally led Chen Mo and the others to the backyard.

He just muttered to himself, "Although this little monk is indeed very handsome, is it enough to make a woman so devoted to him?"

"Could it be... 'well-endowed and skilled in bed'?!"

Thinking of this, she turned back and glanced at Chen Mo and Mu Wanqing a few more times, revealing a meaningful smile.

Chen Mo naturally didn't care what the proprietress thought. Seeing that he couldn't break free, he sighed inwardly and let Mu Wanqing hold his arm.

Mu Wanqing was also extremely nervous, her pretty face under the veil already flushed red.

Chapter 48 Is someone watching us?

Once Chen Mo and his group disappeared, the diners in the lobby gradually withdrew their attention and resumed their previous hustle and bustle.

However, amidst the commotion, eight out of ten sentences revolved around what had just happened.

"Tsk tsk, this is truly eye-opening. Just who is that kid?"

"Who knows?"

"He might be a monk who left the monastery and is just out to swindle young ladies from secluded families."

"That woman doesn't seem like a simple person either; she's throwing gold right away..."

"Sigh, if I could learn a move or two from that kid, would I still have trouble finding a wife?"

A man took a swig of wine, his face full of longing.

"Who can argue with that?"

Everyone chimed in, and the conversation grew increasingly lively.

But in a corner of the bustling lobby, two ordinary-looking men exchanged a glance, got up, and left the inn.

Turn into a deserted alley.

"Elder Yang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to snatch a fat sheep!"

The man in gray rubbed his hands together impatiently, his eyes gleaming with greed. "See? You can just pull out gold so easily."

"Who knows how many treasures are hidden in his baggage? If only I could get my hands on them..."

As he spoke, he let out a series of strange laughs.

"What's the rush?"

Elder Yang narrowed his eyes, "We haven't even figured out their background yet. If we act rashly, we might just suffer a setback."

"It's better to be cautious!"

"Elder Yang, how could my eyes be wrong?"

The man in gray leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Those two are clearly greenhorns who have no experience in the ways of the world at all."

"Otherwise, how could they not know that wealth should not be flaunted?"

"As for their identities, there's even less to worry about."

He sniffed smugly, "You can smell that outsider smell on them from three blocks away!"

Seeing that Elder Yang was still hesitating, he continued, "Elder Yang, this is our Taihu Gang's territory."

"Whether it's a dragon crossing the river or a tiger descending the mountain, a dragon must coil up and a tiger must lie low!"

Even a mighty dragon can't suppress a local snake!

"Kid, you've really improved."

After listening to the gray-robed man's analysis, Elder Yang patted him on the shoulder approvingly, "You were able to see so much in such a short time."

As he spoke, he frowned and said, "However... I'm just afraid they might be some kind of martial arts master..."

"Elder Yang, you are being too cautious."

The man in gray waved his hand and laughed, "Judging from their appearance, they're no more than twenty years old."

"Elder Yang, have you ever seen such a young martial arts master?!"

"Even if they know martial arts, being a second-rate master is the absolute best."

"Besides... we don't need to confront them head-on; we can just use underhanded tactics."

As he spoke, he made a sinister gesture as if to drug them, "As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. Elder Yang, let's just drug them and knock them unconscious."

"With a plan in mind, we can catch even the most skilled opponents off guard, let alone second-rate ones."

"Good lad, I knew I wasn't wrong about you!"

Elder Yang's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "I'll go back and gather my brothers first. Speed ​​is of the essence. We'll make our move at midnight tonight."

"You stay here and keep a close eye on things, don't let this fat sheep get away."

"If this succeeds, you will definitely get a share of the credit."

"Don't worry, Elder Yang."

The man in gray grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. "Now that these two fat sheep have fallen into our trap, they won't be able to escape even if they had wings!"

……

……

Late at night, the inn Yuelai Inn welcomed its guests.

Mu Wanqing had already finished washing up and was now lying on her side on the bed with her back to Chen Mo.

Although she usually called him "husband" so readily, when they were alone together in a room, a girlish shyness welled up in her heart.

She clutched the corner of the blanket tightly, her heart pounding, her face as red as a ripe apple.

My mind is racing with thoughts.

I'm so shy. If he comes over, should I refuse?

I can't refuse, how could I refuse?

Mu Wanqing, Mu Wanqing, how shameless you are!

Hmph, what shamelessness? He's my husband after all...

She tossed and turned in bed, the quilt twisting and turning with her movements.

Mu Wanqing occasionally peeked at the sitting figure through the gap in the quilt. Seeing that he remained motionless, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she felt a strange sense of loss.

After much tossing and turning, she finally succumbed to the exhaustion of days of travel.

His tense nerves gradually relaxed, and he finally drifted off to sleep.

Hearing Mu Wanqing's even breathing, Chen Mo couldn't help but smile knowingly.

This little girl.

He ignored it and focused his mind on circulating the "Dragon Elephant Nirvana Sutra".

For him, practicing internal energy cultivation techniques every day had become an instinct.

Each practice session can even be a great rest, leaving one feeling refreshed and energetic.

I don't know how much time has passed.

"Um?!"

Just then, Chen Mo was jolted awake from his meditation.

Since breaking through to the peak of the Innate Realm, his five senses have long since reached an inhuman level.

If he wanted to, nothing within a radius of several hundred meters could escape his five senses.

A very faint noise suddenly came from the courtyard of the inn, like a night owl stepping on the roof tiles.

But to Chen Mo's senses, this slight sound was like a stone being thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

"Someone?!"

Chen Mo got up, walked to the window, and looked through the crack in the window.

His gaze immediately fell upon five or six furtive figures dressed in night clothes appearing on the outer wall of the courtyard.

These people had superb lightness skills; when they scaled the wall, which was more than ten feet high, they did not make a sound at all.

Under the cover of night, the innkeepers failed to spot them.

Upon landing, they immediately dispersed into a fan shape, maintaining just the right distance from each other.

They can support each other without revealing their whereabouts due to being too concentrated.

With a clear objective, they rapidly approached the room where Chen Mo was.

"interesting."

Chen Mo smiled slightly, "I never thought I'd be targeted by a few petty thieves."

After a moment's thought, he immediately realized that it must have been Mu Wanqing's earlier act of casually tossing out the gold that had attracted the covetous eyes of these petty scoundrels.

However, the fact that these people dared to commit such a heinous act of plunder in Suzhou City is simply outrageous and utterly unscrupulous!

In that short moment, the men in black had already quietly crept to the door of the room.

The leader took out a small bamboo tube from his pocket, and a small hole was poked in the paper window.
