It was already late at night, and that was why Yu Ming had suggested they stay at an inn not far from Fan Zedong's manor instead of returning to the Xinyang Imperial Palace immediately.
It seemed Yu Ming had noticed how Bai Chen was exhausted from their activities today, and that was why he had chosen to spend the night in the village instead of returning to the palace tonight. He said that tomorrow morning they would return to the palace, but tonight they needed to rest.
Yu Ming did say that they needed to rest, but they didn't go straight to bed after arriving at the inn. Instead, they gathered in one of the rooms that Yu Ming would use to rest tonight. There was a square table in the room, but only Yu Ming and Bai Chen sat at the table while Wu Jingguo chose to sit by the open window.
