Not long after leaving the tavern, Xuexue looked around; the streets were pitch-black and empty.
Quickly, she made her way to the back of the tavern. With the uneven outer wall offering plenty of footholds, Xuexue easily climbed up to the second floor.
Xiao Taohong, with the advantage of being a ghost, was already on the second floor. She had wandered through each room. It didn't take long before she found the dwarf's room.
When Xuexue arrived, Xiao Taohong stood at the door and shouted loudly, "Master, Master, the little dwarf is here!"
Since Xiao Taohong was a ghost, no matter how loudly she caused a commotion, no one could hear her.
It was different for Xuexue. She didn't dare make a sound out of fear that alerting the shopkeeper and the rest would ruin their efforts.
She swiftly darted into the room and quietly shut the door behind her.
Indeed, she saw the dwarf, lying motionless on the bed.
