Why don't we run away?

Ren Xiaosu did not know who Chen Cheng wanted him to meet, but he was interested in anyone related to this group of bounty hunters.

He still had not found two of the clues the palace wanted him to search for. He reckoned those two clues were related to these bounty hunters.

Ren Xiaosu felt the quest reward this time would probably be very special. He had never done a quest that spanned such a long duration before.

"Who's this?" Melgor asked curiously. "I noticed you constantly running over to their carriage and thought you had laid eyes on that girl or the woman."

"Watch your mouth." Ren Xiaosu raised his eyebrows. "I already have someone that I like. Don't get me into trouble by spouting nonsense like that."

"Then who're they?" Melgor asked.

"Bounty hunters," Ren Xiaosu answered.

"Eh?" Melgor looked at Ren Xiaosu and then at Chen Cheng's back. "Are they here to kill me?"
