Became a salted fish pretend heiress and handed over the system

"Innkeeper, you seem pretty slick with your words. Do you often advise people like this?" Xia Yue asked, looking at the innkeeper.

"You, young lady, look like a well-off child, why would you want to come here in search of unrealistic things?" The innkeeper looked at Xia Yue, patiently advising her.

"We’re simply here to find someone, not chasing after something unrealistic." Xia Yue blinked and replied.

"Looking for someone? Who? I thought you were off to Wu Ridge to search for some longevity elixir or the like. That’s pure nonsense." On hearing Xia Yue’s words, the innkeeper heaved a sigh of relief, not suspecting her of lying.

"We have an elderly relative. When he was young, he made friends with someone from the Witch Clan, but they lost touch decades ago. Now that he’s old, he misses the past and asked us to find his friend. However, he suffers from dementia and can’t remember in which village his friend lives, just that he was from the Witch Clan.

Being new to this place, we don’t know where to start, so we thought to inquire if you know anything about the descendants of the Witch Clan." Xia Yue elaborated with a serious look, silently praising her flexibility and creativity.

"Oh? Really? Do you have any proof?" The innkeeper was somewhat convinced by her story, but not entirely.

"Sure, our elder gave us a jade pendant. He said to show it to the Witch Clan’s descendants when we find them." Xia Yue nodded, taking out the jade pendant given by Yan Mo.

"Let me see. I do know a bit about the Witch Clan." The innkeeper immediately moved from behind the counter to their side, reaching out to touch the jade pendant.

Xia Yue pulled back her hand instinctively, glancing at Yan Mo.

Yan Mo nodded.
