Gu Ruoyun looked in the direction he had just looked. He covered Su Yan’s eyes with his hand and brought her back to her room. “Nothing, go to sleep.”

The next morning, Su Yan did not see Gu Ruoyun when she got up. It was rather strange.

She quickly put on her clothes, washed up, and left the room.

She happened to bump into Jin Tong who was about to knock on the door. After asking, she found out that An Yi had disappeared as well.

The two women were left looking at each other speechlessly. Su Yan suggested, “Let’s go for breakfast first. We may ask the shopkeeper if he saw them go out.”

Jin Tong nodded.

The two of them casually ordered some breakfast. Su Yan took the opportunity to ask, “Shopkeeper, did you see two men go out this morning?”

The shopkeeper was a kind-hearted middle-aged man. He smiled and said, “There were indeed two young masters in black clothes gone out around midnight.”

Su Yan nodded and began to have breakfast with Jin Tong.

Jin Tong looked at the familiar dishes on the table and excitedly introduced them to Su Yan. “These are the breakfast specialties of Southern Kingdom. You probably haven’t eaten them in the Imperial Kingdom, right?”

Su Yan looked at the various dark dishes on the table. She pointed at a dish and asked, “What is this?”

Jin Tong took a look and said, “This is a bamboo rat. It’s a specialty dish of the Southern Kingdom. This bamboo worm is a treasure. Its meat is especially delicious. This plate is the meat of the bamboo worm, and next to it are fried balls of the bamboo worm’s heads. They are crispy and delicious.”

Su Yan’s expression was getting more unsightly as she listened to Jin Tong’s introduction. She slowly put down the chopsticks in her hands.

Jin Tong finished speaking in high spirits. Seeing that she did not move her chopsticks, she asked in puzzlement, “Why aren’t you eating?”

Su Yan forced a smile and said, “You can eat. I’ll just eat the porridge.”

Jin Tong’s eyes lit up as she said, “You really have good taste. This porridge is also a specialty of our Southern Kingdom.”

Su Yan put down the spoon in her hand. She did not know whether she should drink or spit out the porridge in her mouth. She asked vaguely, “Is this also made by bugs?”

Jin Tong shook her head and said, “No.”

Only then did Su Yan swallow it in relief.

Jin Tong said again, “This is the porridge made by bamboo rats. The meat of bamboo rats is very delicious. Its heart and liver have the effect of prolonging life and are very popular.”

Su Yan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach. She suddenly put down the spoon in her hand and pushed the porridge far away.

Jin Tong asked in puzzlement, “What’s wrong? Don’t you like it?”

Su Yan could only smile and say, “I’m just not used to it.”

Jin Tong nodded in understanding and said, “I wasn’t used to your food when I first arrived at the Imperial Kingdom, too. It was too light.”

Su Yan wanted to say that it seemed to be a different concept, but in the end, she did not say it out. She ordered another cup of tea and watched Jin Tong finish all the breakfast on the table.

After Jin Tong had eaten her fill, Su Yan suddenly thought of a problem. She did not have any money with her.

She had been raised by Gu Ruoyun for the past few days so she did not have to worry about anything. That was why she had never brought any money with her. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

Su Yan asked in a low voice, “Jin Tong, do you have any money?”

Jin Tong replied in a confused manner, “No, why would I bring money?”

Her voice was a little loud and attracted the attention of the shopkeeper. Su Yan quickly changed the topic and thought about what to do.

Jin Tong only reacted after a long while and asked in a low voice, “Don’t tell me Guang Pingwang did not leave you any money?”

The corner of Su Yan’s mouth twitched and she gave her a meaningful glance.

The two of them ate their breakfast slowly. Even though there was nothing on the plate, they still pretended to be immersed in eating.

Time passed by minute by minute and it was almost noon.

The shopkeeper walked over and said, “Ladies, it’s already noon. Can we take your breakfast away?”

Jin Tong said, “We haven’t finished eating yet. Why are you in such a hurry?”
