Chapter 303: Chapter 292: Mysterious Dimension 47
"Innkeeper, you seem pretty slick with your words. Do you often advise people like this?" Xia Yue asked, looking at the innkeeper.
"You, young lady, look like a well-off child, why would you want to come here in search of unrealistic things?" The innkeeper looked at Xia Yue, patiently advising her.
"We’re simply here to find someone, not chasing after something unrealistic." Xia Yue blinked and replied.
"Looking for someone? Who? I thought you were off to Wu Ridge to search for some longevity elixir or the like. That’s pure nonsense." On hearing Xia Yue’s words, the innkeeper heaved a sigh of relief, not suspecting her of lying.
"We have an elderly relative. When he was young, he made friends with someone from the Witch Clan, but they lost touch decades ago. Now that he’s old, he misses the past and asked us to find his friend. However, he suffers from dementia and can’t remember in which village his friend lives, just that he was from the Witch Clan.
Being new to this place, we don’t know where to start, so we thought to inquire if you know anything about the descendants of the Witch Clan." Xia Yue elaborated with a serious look, silently praising her flexibility and creativity.
"Oh? Really? Do you have any proof?" The innkeeper was somewhat convinced by her story, but not entirely.
"Sure, our elder gave us a jade pendant. He said to show it to the Witch Clan’s descendants when we find them." Xia Yue nodded, taking out the jade pendant given by Yan Mo.
"Let me see. I do know a bit about the Witch Clan." The innkeeper immediately moved from behind the counter to their side, reaching out to touch the jade pendant.
Xia Yue pulled back her hand instinctively, glancing at Yan Mo.
Yan Mo nodded.
Only then did Xia Yue hand over the jade pendant to the innkeeper.
The innkeeper took the jade pendant, studying it carefully before handing it back to Xia Yue.
"The pattern on this pendant is somewhat similar to the Witch Clan’s emblem, but there’s a minor discrepancy.
The descendants of the Witch Clan live in Wu Village. After leaving this town, just keep going until you reach a fork in the road. Take the path on the far right and continue for about ten kilometers, you’ll spot a village. That’s Wu Village, and the villagers there aren’t friendly to outsiders.
Once you arrive, be polite. Otherwise, they might chase you away." The innkeeper instructed them earnestly.
"Thank you, innkeeper." Upon hearing this, Xia Yue and the others thanked the innkeeper with smiles on their faces, happy that they now had a lead.
"You’re welcome. Still, I must caution you against going to Wu Ridge. It’s dangerous." The innkeeper looked at them with a serious expression.
"Alright, thank you, innkeeper. We won’t wander off to Wu Ridge recklessly. I do cherish my life." Xia Yue responded with a laugh.
"Hmm, enjoy your meal. If you need anything, just call out to me." The innkeeper nodded in approval.
After a night’s rest at the inn, they set off early the next morning. They had breakfast and then continued on in a carriage, following the innkeeper’s directions.
When they reached the fork in the road, they took the far-right path. The more they drove on this path, the more bumpy it got. The path narrowed, and with a slight carelessness, the carriage’s wheel could get stuck.
Eventually, Xia Yue got scared. She preferred to walk rather than sit in the carriage.
Yan Mo disassembled the carriage, placed it on a slope and covered it with wild grass.
Then he led the ox in front with Xia Yue and the others following behind him.
