The landlord of the tavern coughed even worse now. He coughed for quite a while, and then finally got his steady breath back. He looked powerless.
The Flower King was confused, so he said, "Master Landlord, why do you cough so badly? You are such a powerful man!"
"Powerful man? Ah…" The landlord in cyan clothes smiled bitterly. The bitter smile looked so piteous.
Ye Xiao said in a low voice, "I think the reason why you saved me must be the cough of yours. Am I right?"
The landlord bitterly smiled and nodded. He wanted to say something but didn't say it out, just breathed a deep sigh.
He looked at Xuan Bing, the Flower King, and the King of Poisons. He waited for a while and then said, "You are all Lord Monarch's friends, then I should not evade from you either…"
Ye Xiao nodded and said, "You don't need to. These are my friends, and I trust them. We won't tell anybody else. You have my word."
