The Innkeeper shivered, nearly losing half his life from Han Yu's intimidating speech. Initially, he had been contemplating how to ensure his own safe escape, but now, frightened by these people and realizing their malicious intent, he had no choice but to tell the truth, hoping they would keep their word and spare him, lest he be left at their mercy.
"I'll talk, I'll talk! Please, noble gentlemen, spare my life..." The Shopkeeper no longer dared to hesitate and explained everything candidly, including his guesses about the Jianghu People's actions and behavior, hoping that his sincerity would earn their leniency.
Upon hearing the Shopkeeper's words, Han Yu frowned. These people seemed cautious, their actions too discreet, forcing him to consider the worst.
