Shen Bai lowered his hand, swirling the wine bowl in his grasp. "I have to at least try. Lord Liu, I'll set off tomorrow for the Hundred Medicines Valley."
'Whether they give it to me or not is another matter,' he thought. 'I have to go and see for myself. If they're willing, I can finally put this nagging issue to rest.'
If they didn't, then so be it. Shen Bai was no robber; he wouldn't resort to plunder.
Liu Wufeng nodded. "Alright. Rest for the night, and then you're free to go. I'll give you a few days' leave."
After that, the two ate and chatted.
When they finished, Liu Wufeng even had someone pack up the leftovers to take with them, a true advocate for thriftiness.
Shen Bai left Liu Wufeng on the second floor and returned to his room.
The room hadn't been cleaned in a long time and was covered in dust.
Shen Bai patted Amber's back.
Amber let out a MEOW, tilting its head up to look at Shen Bai with a puzzled expression, wondering what its master was up to now.
