Upon exiting the Cloud Palace, Gu Changsheng saw Han Qiu and Xiao Cui waiting outside.
Summoning them from the shadows, Gu Changsheng handed over the secret passage map he had drawn to the two, instructing them to meet up with the Dark Night Army waiting at the other end of the Heavenly Path.
With the secret passage map, they could save several days' time. If they set out overnight, the Dark Night Army should be able to enter Jinchuan City by tomorrow evening.
After returning to the inn, Gu Changsheng called over the inn's shopkeeper, pointed to the plethora of items stored in the warehouse and said, "Shopkeeper, all these items were plundered from the merchants in this city. Please help me return them to their rightful owners."
The old shopkeeper was visibly confused but nodded his head all the same.
With that matter resolved, Gu Changsheng felt that she might regain some of the face she had lost and her mind eased considerably.
