That road is not safe; there have been quite a few people lurking there recently. Please be careful, sir, and don’t meddle in other people’s business. If you can avoid it, do so.”
Chen Ping nodded without asking any further questions.
The two left the inn, walked through the narrow streets of the city, and headed towards the north gate.
