Meanwhile, Zhuge Lan, Dugu Bo, and Su Biluo successfully teleported outside Spirit Hall through the Time-Space Gate, returning to the location where they first used the Time-Space Brush.
As soon as he landed, Zhuge Lan cautiously surveyed his surroundings, and only after confirming everything was safe did he slowly let out a sigh of relief.
"We've temporarily gotten rid of them, but Spirit Hall definitely won't give up. We need to leave here as soon as possible; they might find this place soon."
Zhuge Lan said.
Dugu Bo nodded and said, "Indeed. So, where do we go next?"
Zhuge Lan pondered for a moment: "We'll find a place to hide first and treat Bìluò's injuries."
Su Biluo forced a faint smile on her pale face and softly said, "I'm fine; there's no need to waste time on me."
However, Zhuge Lan looked at her with a serious and determined expression, saying firmly, "No, your injuries must be dealt with as soon as possible. This is not open for discussion."
"How about we head to a nearby small town first and find a place to settle down?" Dugu Bo suggested.
Zhuge Lan nodded in agreement: "Let's do that."
Subsequently, Zhuge Lan, Dugu Bo, and Su Biluo cautiously left the vicinity of Spirit Hall and headed towards a nearby small town.
Along the way, they tried to avoid main roads, opting for secluded paths to prevent being discovered by Spirit Hall's people or their informants.
After some arduous travel, they finally arrived at a small, unassuming town.
There weren't many people on the town's streets; occasionally, a few villagers hurried by, all curiously observing Zhuge Lan and his two unfamiliar companions.
Zhuge Lan vigilantly scanned his surroundings and, finding no Spirit Hall presence, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Let's find an inn to stay in first, and then we'll figure out how to treat Bìluò's injuries," Zhuge Lan whispered.
Dugu Bo nodded in agreement.
They walked along the town's streets, searching for a suitable inn.
Before long, they spotted a place called "Sanctuary Inn."
The inn's facade wasn't grand, but it looked clean and tidy.
The three walked into the inn, and the attendant immediately greeted them warmly.
"Honored guests, are you here for a meal or to stay the night?" the attendant asked with a smile.
"To stay. Give us two superior rooms," Zhuge Lan said.
"Alright, honored guests, please wait a moment."
Then the attendant walked to the front desk to process the request.
A moment later, the attendant returned with a troubled expression and said, "Honored guests, I'm truly sorry, but we only have one room left."
Zhuge Lan frowned, looked at Dugu Bo and Su Biluo, and then asked, "What should we do? There's only one room left."
Zhuge Lan gave Dugu Bo a suggestive look, a Gui Mei smile appearing on his face.
Dugu Bo said irritably, "Hmph, as if I don't know you? At most, I'll just sleep on the street tonight."
Upon hearing Dugu Bo's words, Zhuge Lan immediately burst out laughing, patting Dugu Bo's shoulder and saying, "Oh, Old Poison, you truly are my inner worm! So deeply righteous! I knew you'd say that, haha."
Dugu Bo rolled his eyes at him and snorted, "Don't give me that. I know exactly what little schemes you're cooking up. Isn't it just that you want to be alone with Miss Bìluò?"
Upon hearing this, a blush instantly appeared on Su Biluo's shy face.
Zhuge Lan quickly waved his hand, feigning innocence, and said, "Look at what you're saying. I can't help it. Who knew this inn would only have one room left? I can't possibly let Bìluò have nowhere to stay, can I?"
Dugu Bo pouted and said disdainfully, "Oh, please, you can stop pretending. But I'm warning you, kid, don't you dare mess around. If you bully Miss Bìluò, I won't let you off."
Zhuge Lan said with a grin, "Don't worry, don't worry, am I that kind of person? I'll definitely take good care of Bìluò. As for you, don't catch a cold sleeping on the street, haha."
Dugu Bo glared at him and said, "Don't worry about me. I, the great Poison Douluo, am afraid of getting cold? On the contrary, you, don't sleep too soundly tonight. If there's any danger, you must protect Miss Bìluò."
Zhuge Lan nodded and said earnestly, "Of course. With me here, no one will be able to harm Bìluò."
Then, Zhuge Lan said to the attendant, "We've decided; we'll take this room."
"Alright!" The attendant said, then led them to the room upstairs.
Although the room's decor was simple, it was quite clean.
Zhuge Lan first settled Su Biluo in the room, letting her rest well.
"Old Poison, you stay here and take care of Bìluò for a bit. I'll go to town and see if there's a pharmacy to buy some healing medicine," Zhuge Lan said to Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo nodded and said, "Okay, you go, but be careful on the way. Don't be careless; be careful not to be seen by Spirit Hall's people."
Zhuge Lan said impatiently, "I know, I know. Should I wear a mask? You're being so naggy."
After leaving the inn, Zhuge Lan wandered alone around the small town.
After leaving the inn, Zhuge Lan walked straight towards the center of the town.
He asked a passerby for directions to a pharmacy, then quickened his pace.
Before long, he spotted a pharmacy named "Jishitang."
Zhuge Lan walked into the pharmacy, and a strong aroma of medicine wafted towards him.
The attendant inside was busy organizing medicinal herbs. Seeing a customer enter, he quickly put down his work and came forward.
"Honored guest, what do you need?" the attendant asked enthusiastically.
"I'd like to buy some healing medicine, preferably potent ones, for both external injuries and internal conditioning," Zhuge Lan said.
"Okay, honored guest, please wait a moment. I'll get you some of our best healing medicines," the attendant said, then turned to the medicine cabinet to retrieve the medicines.
Zhuge Lan looked around the shop. At this moment, his gaze was drawn to a leaf placed in a corner.
He had once seen this leaf in the system's encyclopedia; its name was oriental leaf, rumored to come from a rare, mysterious island in the East.
This oriental leaf had miraculous healing effects. It could be used directly as an external compress or steeped in hot water for internal consumption. It would be particularly helpful for Su Biluo's current injuries.
Zhuge Lan walked over to examine the oriental leaf closely, then pointed to it and said to the attendant, "I'll take this leaf as well."
However, at this moment, a noisy set of footsteps came from the entrance, and a Golden-haired Young Master in luxurious attire walked in.
Behind the man followed two attendants, who looked imposing, their presence suggesting they belonged to a noble family.
"Attendant, bring out all the best healing medicines in your shop for me; I need them urgently," the man said loudly.
The attendant quickly ran over and said respectfully, "Young Master, please wait a moment; I'll get them for you right away."
Zhuge Lan frowned, a bad premonition rising in his heart.
