Chapter 998: That Woman
Ruyi stayed at the tavern to rest and recuperate. The North Desert People had already entered the city and begun ransacking it. There was bound to be some wealth left, or at the very least, some livestock. As long as something was valuable or useful, they would strip the place clean.
The tavern's doors were closed, but trouble would inevitably come knocking anyway.
"That tavern—do not enter..."
The High Priest took one look at the tavern and knew he could not afford to offend the people inside.
"Observe the surroundings for now. No one goes in!"
He left some men scattered along the streets around the tavern.
The High Priest was still anxious, not daring to advance rashly.
He knew his own limits perfectly well. Those who could not be offended must absolutely be left alone. He had reached his current position precisely because of this caution.
Ruyi was resting in a room on the second floor of the tavern.
