Chapter 52: Man-made Disaster

Li Shiren didn't believe this nonsense at all. It wasn't Li Zhirui's first time seeking refuge, so he waved his hand and said, "There will be a few clansmen returning to the family tomorrow. You should go back with them."

Li Zhirui had originally wanted to stay in the backyard for a while longer and then slip away from the marketplace quietly, but upon hearing Li Shiren's words, he immediately abandoned his previous thoughts.

Although the prying eyes had disappeared, who knew if the other party was hiding somewhere, waiting for him to show up?

Since there were clansmen returning home tomorrow, it was certainly much safer than going back alone. There was no need to take the risk.

"However, all the rooms in the backyard are full, and I think there won't be any rain tonight given the moonlight. You can rest in the yard for the night."

Li Zhirui nodded. Resting outdoors was a very normal thing for cultivators; there was no need to specifically go to an inn for rest.
