In other words, after the limelight passed, the price would go down.
Jiang Hai frowned and said, “What happened in the West City? Why is the security so tight?”
The shop assistant said, “How would I know? In short, the news we just received is that the authorities have been investigating even more strictly. You can’t pass through with the fake travel passes, so we have to give you real travel passes. However, it’s not easy to get a real travel pass. If the authorities find out, the Host of the travel passes will also have to go to jail!”
Qing Yan and Jiang Hai frowned deeply. There were eight of them, and each of them cost a hundred taels, so that meant eight hundred taels. Money was secondary. Yan Jiuchao did not lack money, but eight true travel passes with matching age and gender were not something that could be settled with eight hundred taels.
As expected, when Jiang Hai asked for eight travel passes for his family, the shop assistant refused without thinking. “If it were under normal circumstances, I could have accepted more money and gotten it done, but not now! Why don’t you find someone else!”
They could not go back. They were still waiting to find an antidote for Yan Jiuchao. If they could not even enter the mere West City, they could not enter the Imperial Capital in the future. The Fire Lingzhi and Snow Toad were all in the Capital.
“What should we do?” Jiang Hai asked.
Qing Yan glared at him. “You ask me, who should I ask?”
Jiang Hai frowned and said, “Let’s go to another store.”
They were not the only ones who provided travel passes in the black market. Of course, they were the largest. If even they could not do it, the chances of others succeeding would probably be even slimmer. However, they had to try no matter what.
On the other hand, Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchao were sitting in the carriage waiting for news. They waited for half a day till their legs were sore, but there was no sign of Jiang Hai and Qing Yan. They must have been delayed by the travel pass. Yu Wan wanted to get out of the carriage and take a walk while going to the private room.
Zi Su and Fu Ling had both gone to the private room, so they stayed to watch the carriage.
The couple alighted from the carriage. Yu Wan’s face looked even more tender after changing into men’s clothes. She looked like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old youth with delicate features. When she stood beside Yan Jiuchao, she looked like a pair of fairy who had descended to the mortal world. For a moment, she attracted the attention of many people.
The little snow fox also wanted to get out of the carriage to take a walk. As soon as it jumped out, Zi Su grabbed its two little claws. “Alright, don’t go. Stay in the carriage obediently.”
I had to pee too!
Zi Su brought over a small jar. “Be good, pee.”
The little snow fox covered its face with its claws. It was so shy.
Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchao went to an inn. Yu Wan’s period had come, so it was inevitable that it took a long time. Unexpectedly, when she returned to the lobby of the inn, she saw Yan Jiuchao surrounded by a few beautiful women.
Yan Jiuchao’s looks were not inferior even in Southern Xinjiang, where there were as many beautiful women as there were clouds. It was not strange for someone to covet his beauty, but it was really too much to seduce him in broad daylight.
A woman in green wearing a veil slowly sat down beside Yan Jiuchao. She picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Yan Jiuchao. She said with charming eyes, “Young Master, where did you come from? Why haven’t I seen you before?”
Yan Jiuchao ignored her.
“Yo, Young Master, you have a big temper. You actually ignore my sister when she talks to you,” the woman in the pink veil said sarcastically.
The woman called sister was not vexed. She leaned against Yan Jiuchao with a smile and said with a breath like an orchid, “I think Young Master seems to be from another place. Young Master, do you want to enter the city? It’s not easy to enter the West City now, but if you make me a friend, I promise to send you in safely.”
As she spoke, she was about to reach out to touch Yan Jiuchao’s face when a cold hand grabbed her.
“Who wants to be your friend?” Yu Wan said coldly. There was no way she would allow others to touch her husband!

The woman’s expression darkened as she tried to retract her hand. Unexpectedly, she could not move it. She turned around with a cold expression. The moment she saw Yu Wan, the gloominess in her eyes instantly dissipated. “Yo? Where did this little master come from? So handsome!”
Yu Wan said indifferently, “No matter how handsome I am, I’m not yours either. If you know what’s good for you, leave quickly.”
The woman’s eyes flashed suspiciously and she met Yu Wan’s eyes again.
Yu Wan threatened, “Still looking? I’ll dig your eyeballs out!”
The woman swayed and broke out in cold sweat.
Yu Wan let go of her hand. “Get lost!”
The woman looked at Yu Wan fearfully and turned to leave with her sisters. However, the moment she brushed past Yu Wan, her fingertips moved imperceptibly.
Yu Wan did not seem to notice. When the group reached the entrance of the inn, the woman turned around to look at Yu Wan.
