After leaving the tavern, he and Yue Ning checked into an inn. When he had set out from Qingfeng Prefecture, he had brought with him some "good stuff," all of which was made by his wife's hand. This was his greatest reliance and confidence for this trip.
No matter what, he had to ensure his own personal safety. Otherwise, if something happened to him, who knew how genuinely worried his wife would be upon finding out.
He loved her, but this love was not his weakness; rather, it was his strength. For her, he had to take even better care of himself.
Besides, he was acting as an elder brother. Since he had brought Yue Ning out, he had to ensure that she returned exactly as she had come, not missing a single hair. They had to go back together!
The two of them stayed on the second floor of the inn, and upon entering the room, Shujun unhitched the small cloth bag from his shoulder. Although the bag looked small, it was actually quite heavy.
