"Y-you want to work with us?" The Inn Owner asked, stuttering in disbelief. Firstly, he didn't understand why Xu Shan knew about their plan.
Even if he knew, it was surprising that wanted to work with them instead of exposing them to the Royal Guards and getting rewarded?
"Who are you?" he asked.
"You don't need to know who I am," Xu Shan replied, as a knowing smile appeared on his face. "What you need to know is that I like your plan. I won't expose you. Instead, I'll help you. So move forward with your plan! And let this city burn!"
The inn owner's skepticism began to fade as Xu Shan's confident demeanor began to win him over. He was even more convinced that Xu Shan wasn't bluffing. From the young man's last sentence, it was clear that he really knew their plan.
The Inn Owner nodded. To work with Xu Shan was better than dying.
