It's kind of terrifying.
Seeing no useful information, Wu Heng quickened his pace and continued forward to leave.
"Uncle, Sister Beini and I are going to the tavern to listen to stories," Xiao Xiao's voice rang out beside his ear.
"Go ahead but come back early," Wu Heng said.
"Okay," Xiao Xiao promised, heading to the tavern across the street with Bella, and they went straight inside.
Wu Heng also hailed a carriage and went straight back to the Island Lord's Mansion.

When they were still some distance from the Island Lord's Mansion, Wu Heng paid the fare and got off the carriage.
He took off his mask and walked a distance on foot with his skeleton attendant.
Along the way, he could see patrolling skeletons, the roofs of some buildings, and alleys, as well as skeleton sentries in hiding.
It was the most heavily defended place on the whole island.
Pushing open the courtyard door, Wu Heng walked in.
