Feeling the expectant gazes of the crowd, Ye Lai Xiang didn't hesitate and closed her eyes. "Hmm, we can go back now. Let's set the time for the day after tomorrow. Go back and prepare."

"Yoohoo!" The crowd exploded with excitement.

"I'll go back and tidy up!"

"I also need to inform my disciple."

"Hahaha, I can finally go back and see, um, I don't seem to have a wife."

In an instant, the previously crowded second floor became empty in no time, so fast that even Shi Liuli was amazed.

Tsk tsk tsk, how hard must they have been holding back?

Now, there were only Ye Lai Xiang and Shi Liuli left in the entire Mage Association.

"So, I'll be going with you the day after tomorrow?"

"That's right. You can choose your accommodation from the Mage Association's assets over there. And you know how great it is in central region, I don't need to say more, right?"

Nodding to show her understanding, Shi Liuli was about to say her goodbyes and leave but suddenly remembered that she didn't have any money.

"Oh, old man, do you have any money? I need to exchange some."

Ye Lai Xiang shook her head. "Honestly, I don't recommend exchanging currency. Construction points are far more valuable than money. I can lend you some. How much?"

"1000 Gold Larel." Since he said so, Shi Liuli didn't need to be polite.

Ye Lai Xiang stumbled, thinking he misheard. "How much did you say?"

"1000 Gold Larel." Shi Liuli furrowed her brows and repeated it. Were the ears of even a great mage like him not functioning well in this day and age?

"Why do you need so much, lady!? Do you know what 1000 Gold Larel represents? It's enough to buy a decent house in the capital of the Kingdom of Truth!"

Ye Lai Xiang became a bit frantic. Although he did have the money, he definitely didn't have that much on him.

"I only have 216 Gold Larel with me. Here's 100. Hurry up and go!" He reached out his hand again, creating ripples in space, and when he pulled it back, he had a bag in his hand. He quickly stuffed it into Shi Liuli's hands and dismissed her.

Muttering, "Tsk! So much for being the President of the Mage Association, he's just a poor guy." Shi Liuli took the bag and didn't wait for Ye Lai Xiang to react. She quickly slipped away.

Leaving Ye Lai Xiang all alone, he stomped his feet in frustration.

Outside the association's gate, Shi Liuli whispered, "Thanks~" with a smile and left the street.

Although she said so, deep down, Shi Liuli was truly grateful to Ye Lai Xiang. Nothing captures people's hearts more than a timely help, and Shi Liuli was no exception.

By now, it was already nighttime, and the flow of people on the street had decreased, but there were still quite a few.

First, find an inn to stay~

Now that she had money in her pocket, Shi Liuli naturally wouldn't choose to accompany wild beasts in the wilderness. Instead, she planned to find an inn to stay for the night and then visit Feilian tomorrow to say goodbye. After all, they would be leaving the Kingdom of Kelandi the day after tomorrow.

"Hum hum hum~," humming a little tune she had learned somewhere, Shi Liuli's gaze suddenly locked onto a signboard made of redwood—the Tolani Inn.

That's it!

"Welcome! Are you alone, guest?"

Pushing the door open, a girl wearing a red and white checkered headband, only slightly older than Shi Liuli, greeted her.

"I'm alone. Do you have a larger room?" Shi Liuli didn't like crowded spaces, and usually, a double room would be enough.

"We do. Please register here first."

After registering and paying, the girl made a guiding gesture. "Please follow me."
