Luo Xue was leading Nangong Yu northward, making their journey day and night, after experiencing thousands of hardships, they finally arrived at Yushu County. In two or three more days, they could reach Qing County, which is closest to Lingbei. Once over Tianlun Mountain, which separates Qing County from Lingbei, they would be in the territory of Meng slaves. At that time, they would meet Nangong Yi and need not be frightened anymore.
When they arrived at Yushu County, it was not yet completely dark. Luo Xue wanted to go further, but Nangong Yu, who was frail and had traveled by a horse carriage for a day, was so tired that her little face turned pale. Seeing her like this, Luo Xue had no choice but to change her mind and lodged at the best inn in Qing County, the 'Ji Xiang Inn'.
Unfortunately, when they entered the inn, they bumped into a man who had just come out of the nearby casino.
