If the four of them had not left and continued to hide there, they might have already been surrounded by the fire and would have been unable to escape! “Oh my G.o.d, this is really a dangerous place!” Shu Ruyue muttered to herself as she watched the scene in front of her.

Not to mention her, the others also felt a chill down their spines.

At this moment, there was already chaos outside. All kinds of screams, shouts, and footsteps could be heard.

The more chaotic it was outside, the quieter the room seemed in comparison.

“Someone is coming our way!” Li Xiaoran suddenly reminded.

After a while, footsteps sounded in their direction.

Although there was the sound of rain as cover, the sound of the commotion outside couldn’t be hidden from the few people hiding there.

The three of them were martial artists. Although Li Xiaoran didn’t know martial arts, she could sense these people’s emotions and where these emotions came from, so she could accurately locate their movements.

Just like that, the four of them were on guard and prepared to deal with anything.

Footsteps sounded as these people checked the rooms one by one.

Finally, when they arrived at the room where Li Xiaoran and the others were, the person outside pushed hard, but the door didn’t move.

In the blink of an eye, countless sharp arrows surged in.

At this moment, the four people in the room each found a place to hide. After Luo Cheng grabbed Li Xiaoran and went to the back of the closet, he moved the closet forward. Then, the two of them rushed into the empty s.p.a.ce behind the wardrobe and hid.

Wu Qinghe and Shu Ruyue flipped the table over together. Then, the two of them hid behind the table and slowly approached the bed at the back.

When they reached the bed, the two of them lifted the bedboard again and placed it in front of the table to block it.

“What should we do now?” Wu Qinghe asked Luo Cheng, who wasn’t far behind him.

Luo Cheng thought for a moment but said nothing.

As soon as she said this, the other three people’s hearts sank.

“I smell blood. The other party has already killed many people! What are these people trying to do?” Shu Ruyue said with an ugly expression.

“Wait a moment. They don’t have many arrows left. It’s impossible for them to use them on us!” Luo Cheng said when he heard the sound of the arrows entering.

Sure enough, after a while, the arrows outside stopped. Then, someone approached the room.

As soon as the door opened, the person outside jumped in. The medicine at the door didn’t work at all.

“Stay here and hide. I’ll go out and fight!” Luo Cheng said as he jumped out of the darkness and stabbed the nearest person.

Li Xiaoran also knew that she was a burden at this moment, so she could only try her best to curl up and hide behind the wardrobe.

Outside, Wu Qinghe and Shu Ruyue were also fighting with the people rushing in.

Although these people were good at fighting, they were still a little lacking compared to the three people in the room.

Soon, Luo Cheng and the others subdued this wave of people.

Li Xiaoran sensed that there was no one around, so she said, “Everyone has gone to the other side. The people here have already been dealt with! We can’t stay here for long, so let’s take advantage of the chaos and leave!”

Luo Cheng nodded, then beckoned the other two out.

Previously, they had to hide because they felt that they could leave safely after tonight.

However, the appearance of this group of people changed Luo Cheng’s mind. He felt that he should leave this place now.

At this moment, many people were gathered in the direction of the fire, but there was no one else.

Shu Ruyue, who was running at the front, broke out of the encirclement.

“Don’t go over there. There’s someone lying in ambush over there. Follow me!” Li Xiaoran shouted and pulled Luo Cheng in the other direction.

Li Xiaoran didn’t sense anyone’s emotions in this direction, so this should be the safest place.

However, to their surprise, they ran to the woodshed in the inn.

The old man, who had been lying there in a daze, stood up when he saw the four of them rushing over.

“Looks like the fated person I’m waiting for is you guys! Come, follow me and leave!”

The four of them froze.

However, no one knew what to say at this moment. In the end, they could only follow behind the old man silently.

In a corner of the woodshed, the entrance to a secret pa.s.sage was revealed after a stone slab was lifted.

Seeing this, the group was shocked. They really didn’t expect a secret pa.s.sage to be hidden in a small inn.

However, at this moment, the few of them couldn’t be bothered to think too much about it. One by one, they jumped into the secret pa.s.sage.

The old man went down first, then Luo Cheng, then Li Xiaoran, then Shu Ruyue, and finally Wu Qinghe.

After everyone came down, the old man pressed a b.u.t.ton and the flagstones closed, as if nothing had happened.

After the old man took a night pearl from somewhere, the secret pa.s.sage was illuminated, allowing them to see their surroundings clearly.

Just like that, the five of them followed. After an unknown period of time, they finallv walked out of a cave.

As soon as he went out, Luo Cheng looked around and realized that White Foothill City was already in the distance.

“We actually came to White Foothill City!” Wu Qinghe said in disbelief. Not to mention Wu Qinghe, even Li Xiaoran was a little dazed.

All of this felt like a dream!

“Stop looking. It’s raining outside, so hurry up and follow me!” The old man looked at the four of them and said.

Luo Cheng glanced at Li Xiaoran. After seeing Li Xiaoran nod, he followed the old man.

After Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran left, the other two naturally followed. Before long, they saw a farmhouse at the foot of a mountain.

“This is where I live. Stay here for the night! You can leave after dawn tomorrow!” After the old man brought the four of them in, he said, “There’s firewood in the kitchen and water in the water tank. If you want to wash up, boil the water yourself. I’m tired!”

With that, the old man went to the main room and went straight to sleep.

Li Xiaoran looked around and saw that everyone’s clothes were wet, so she could only go to the kitchen to light a fire and boil hot water.

After the first pot of water was heated, Li Xiaoran filled a bucket of hot water and looked at Wu Qinghe.

“Wu Qinghe, send this bucket of hot water to the old man! He’s also wet and his body is weaker than ours, so let him take a hot bath first!”
