At midnight, when all was silent.
Wen Ran secretly slipped back to the inn. She looked around, confirmed there was no one nearby, and quickly slipped into her room, shutting the door behind her.
In the adjacent room, Qi Buyu ran out of water. He planned to go downstairs to find the night shift worker to get a cup of water and saw a figure standing in the corner. He immediately asked curiously, "Brother Shen, haven't you slept yet?"
Shen Wu nodded slightly, "I'm about to rest now."
With those words, Shen Wu entered his room.
Qi Buyu scratched the back of his head in confusion.
The group traveled for three days, and on the fourth day, they arrived at the riverbank.
Qi Buyu whistled, and from the reeds, an old man with a raincoat and hat slowly appeared, rowing a small boat.
Qi Buyu helped Master Meng onto the boat.
Tang Ling said to Wen Ran and Shen Wu, "To enter the Scholarly World, one must take a water journey. Once we pass this stretch of water, we'll be there."
