As he spoke, Song Jue's gaze casually swept over Su Ye's cheek.
"There's something... odd about you."
Su Ye immediately lowered her head and grabbed Su Qing's hand, eager to change the subject and leave.
"Let's go."
With that, she started pulling him upstairs.
'What's so odd about me?'
'Of course I'm acting strange. I've been tormented for so long and haven't even had a chance to recover.'
As she walked up the stairs, her voice drifted down to those below.
"I've rented out the entire inn. Find your own rooms."
Once she and Su Qing had completely vanished around the bend in the staircase…
Bai Xin collapsed to the floor, as if all the strength had been drained from his body.
Seeing Bai Xin in such a state, Kuang Zhan scratched his head.
"What's wrong with you?"
Bai Xin kept his head down and didn't say a word.
Back in the Underground Palace, he had been bewitched by a snake statue and made to offer his blood.
