Wang Anfeng counted the Copper Coins he had, along with that piece of Silver, which should have been enough to stay in the inn of this small city for a good three to five days, including meals and drinks.
But when the Silver was all spent, the city remained eerily quiet. Not a soul from the White Tiger Hall showed up, and those from the Heavenly Sword Sect seemed like reclusive Taoists, without a shim of news.
During these days, the youth went out daily with his sword but didn't spot anyone suspicious. When he asked the shopkeeper unintentionally, the elder's strange look told Wang Anfeng that, to these locals, he might be the most peculiar one.
Carrying a lute and holding a sword.
Neither cultured nor martial.
The youth laughed it off, not minding, and merely bit into another mouthful of his steamed bun, finishing it before heading back.
He only moved around that courtyard.
