Chapter 403: Hidden Currents Stirring, Strange Visitors and Mysterious Origins! Long Jiu! The Orange Cat’s Complicated Past!
People came and went through the busy inn, but Li Yanchu paid no attention to the few odd figures among them.
After handing the ancient jade, the one left behind when he had shattered Su Shunqing’s artifact, to the innkeeper, he returned to Qingyun Temple.
