"Honored guest, we have already prepared food and wine for you. Please follow me."
Jiang Xiaobai followed the innkeeper to the dining area but found that Hei Gu was not there.
"Where is Hei Gu?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.
"The envoy has already had his meal. He had some matters to attend to and went out. He asked you to dine alone," the innkeeper replied with a smile.
Jiang Xiaobai took a glance at the innkeeper, feeling a bit skeptical. Since following Hei Gu into the Ghost Cave, Hei Gu had hardly left his side; safely escorting Jiang Xiaobai to the Imperial City Tuba City was Hei Gu's most important mission. For Hei Gu to abandon him like this was unlike his usual behavior.
Jiang Xiaobai was a smart man, but he didn't dwell too much on it. After all, this was the inn; according to Hei Gu, this was their territory, a safe place.
