Yu Xiaolian and Su Jingchen agreed that while traveling outside, they would call each other cousins. Although they have a marriage certificate, equivalent to a legal marriage, they have not held a wedding banquet, so it is not appropriate for them to share a room as a married couple, and thus they each stayed in separate rooms.
After just half a day, Yu Xiaolian and Su Jingchen were feeling both hungry and cold. Two large bowls of hot soup noodles, with both the soup and the noodles, plus a plate of braised beef, were eaten completely clean by the two of them.
After finishing the hot noodles, and sweating profusely, they finally felt truly warm again.
However, with many people in the inn and many mouths to talk, plus the fear that walls have ears, Su Jingchen and Yu Xiaolian couldn't discuss the matter of the Longevity Gu, fearing that if any martial arts expert with sharp ears and eyes lodged next door, their secret might be eavesdropped on, which would be bad.
