After leaving Nan Feng, Xue Ling went to find an inn to stay at all by herself.
She was actually very vexed internally, and the words Nan Feng had said kept echoing in her mind: "Xue Ling, you've been so irresponsible."
The inn was particularly cold and desolate. The ordeal with the mountain bandits had just ended, and the economy of Provincial City hadn't yet recovered, so fewer than two rooms out of ten were occupied in the inn.
She found herself missing Yu Peng a bit, as he would usually bring her breakfast at this time.
However, Xue Ling thought it was just dependence.
The more she depended on him, the less she could return, lest the dependence turn into a habit, and she could never leave him.
It would be better for everyone if she escaped earlier.

It was time for the wedding, and because the Matchmaker had run over in a panic, now many people knew that the bride was missing.
