Li Xian chose a corner to sit, with a wooden post beside him blocking the view. Passersby would hardly notice this spot. To his left was a wooden window, and it would be easy for him to leap through and escape. He observed carefully and sat down at ease, casting a sidelong glance at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper called over a staff member, who was also a tall, robust, and coarse man, bald and shirtless. The shopkeeper glanced at Li Xian, secretly giving instructions. The staff member nodded lightly, sneaking a look at Li Xian, unable to resist a greedy smirk.
The shopkeeper patted the staff member's shoulder. The staff member retreated to the kitchen, summoning five skilled individuals to discuss a grand "Immortal Jump" scheme. How could Swallowing Water City have legitimate businesses? This inn truly was a trap that swallowed wealth and took lives.
