Zheng Tuo was timid and suspicious, so he got scared off by Lü Donglin's empty fort strategy. The same tactic, used on someone else, might not have had this effect.
Lü Donglin rested a bit more to recover some of his True Qi then immediately got up and carried Su Yang away from the inn.
The place was still unsafe. He needed to find a secure location to treat their wounds first.
By now, it was early morning, and Lü Donglin, carrying Su Yang in the alleys, didn't attract any attention.
Crossing the area, Lü Donglin reached an obviously abandoned house and hid inside with Su Yang.
They got through the night without incident. At midnight, Su Yang woke up and took out some elixirs he had made, sharing some with Lü Donglin.
After taking the elixirs, both sat in quiet meditation to heal. By dawn, their injuries were about seventy percent healed.
