**Chapter 467: Is It Really That Easy to Let Them Go?**
"Father, how did you find out?" Qiu Mo asked hurriedly, forcing himself to calm down.
He knew panic wouldn’t solve anything.
Qiu Cang’ang sighed.
"Because Qiu Canghe was at the Great Kun Immortal Palace and witnessed Lan Xiaobu’s terrifying power firsthand. When Lan Xiaobu fought against nearly twenty Immortal Emperors from the Great Kun Immortal Palace, the spatial fluctuations alone made it difficult for Qiu Canghe to withstand. Among those twenty Immortal Emperors were the Great Palace Master Yuan Bu, Third Palace Master Zhang Wuxue, and four Grand Elders. Now, can you imagine how strong Lan Xiaobu is?"
Qiu Mo knew who Qiu Canghe was—his eleventh uncle.
"We must hurry to the inn and apologize. Lan Xiaobu probably hasn’t reached Boundless Market City yet. If we act quickly, we might still be able to make amends," Qiu Mo said urgently.
Qiu Cang’ang nodded.
"Lan Xiaobu shouldn’t be arriving here so soon. Let’s go now."

"What do you mean by this?" Luo Caisi stared at the attendant, her voice steady, but her heart felt as if it had plunged into an icy abyss.
The inn’s restrictions had been activated.
If she wanted to leave, she would need the inn’s permission.
The attendant chuckled.
"Nothing much. You owe us for your stay. Just come with me to meet our young master, and everything will be settled."
"How much do I owe? I’ll pay," Luo Caisi said, struggling to keep her tone even.
The attendant replied indifferently, "One thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals for the first day, ten thousand for the second, one hundred thousand for the third, and one million for the fourth. Since you’ve stayed over four days, you owe us one million, one hundred and eleven thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals."
Luo Caisi was stunned.
Where would she get that many top-grade Immortal Crystals? She didn’t even have ten thousand, let alone a million.
Gu Dao quickly sent her a telepathic message. *"Senior Sister, my innate skill is teleportation. If we can break out of this inn, I’m at least sixty percent confident we can escape."*
"Idiot!" Luo Caisi couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
The restrictions of this inn were clearly beyond what she and Gu Dao could break.
Trying to force their way out was impossible.
"If you can’t pay, then don’t blame our inn—" The attendant’s slow, deliberate words were abruptly cut off by a cold voice.
"Is this a scam? Charging over a million for four days?"
"Young—" The attendant barely got the word out before a slap sent him flying.
Blood sprayed from his mouth as he crashed to the ground, his facial bones shattered.
"Our Boundless Sea Inn has always been reputable. When did we ever charge guests extra for overstaying?" A young man stepped forward, his voice sharp with anger.
The attendant lay on the ground, staring at the young master who had struck him, utterly confused.
Wasn’t this exactly what the young master had ordered him to do? He was just following instructions to detain the guest.
"Why keep trash like this around?" A middle-aged man behind the youth flicked his hand, sending a blade of light toward the attendant.
The attendant, only a Great Yi Immortal, had no chance to dodge an attack from an Immortal Emperor.
He died without ever understanding why he had been killed.
Qiu Mo was stunned.
He hadn’t expected his father to kill his own subordinate.
The attendant had been his trusted aide in the Boundless Sea Inn, handling all sorts of tasks for him.
He hadn’t planned to kill him.
But when he saw the icy look in his father’s eyes, he quickly realized the gravity of the situation.
He stepped forward and bowed to Luo Caisi.
"Fairy Luo, this was entirely our inn’s fault. We will compensate you for all losses."
Qiu Cang’ang, standing behind Qiu Mo, forced a smile.
"We had no idea our attendant would dare detain a guest and extort Immortal Crystals. This is unacceptable."
Luo Caisi was bewildered.
From the young man’s words and the attendant’s half-spoken "young master," she guessed this was the inn’s young master.
Had he come to see her himself?
But that didn’t make sense.
If he had wanted to see her, why kill his own attendant?
"Here are some reparations from our inn."
Qiu Cang’ang hastily took out a storage ring and offered it to Luo Caisi.
Luo Caisi didn’t take it.
Calmly, she said, "I just want to leave this inn. Is that possible?"
Qiu Mo quickly replied, "Of course! You may leave at any time. If you wish to stay, our finest rooms are yours for as long as you like—free of charge."
Gu Dao’s eyes lit up at this.
The best rooms had everything—top-tier chefs, endless delicacies, and dense Immortal Spiritual Qi for cultivation.
It had been a long time since it had enjoyed such luxuries.
But it had no say in the matter.
Luo Caisi said firmly, "We don’t want to stay. We just want to leave."
She didn’t understand the young master’s intentions.
Maybe this was a trick to lure her into complacency before striking outside.
But one thing was certain—once they left the city, Gu Dao’s teleportation might give them a real chance to escape.
*"Gu Dao, the moment we’re out of the city, use your Immortal Essence to teleport us away. Don’t linger—this place is dangerous,"* she transmitted.
Qiu Mo nodded.
"Of course. Please, this way."
He personally deactivated the inn’s restrictions and loudly announced to the other attendants, "From now on, anyone who dares overcharge or detain guests will end up like Wanyi!"
The other guests were shocked.
Was the Boundless Sea Inn really this strict with itself?
Luo Caisi didn’t care about Qiu Cang’ang’s performance.
She rushed out of the inn without hesitation, heading straight for the city gates.
This was their only chance to escape.
If they could make it out of the city, Gu Dao’s teleportation might just save them.
Gu Dao, sensing her urgency, tensed and followed her out.
To her relief, no one stopped them as they fled the city.
It seemed Qiu Mo had truly let them go.
*"Senior Sister, I’m ready. Should we go now? I guarantee my teleportation speed—they won’t catch up,"* Gu Dao said eagerly.
Finally, they could escape that suffocating inn.
Being cooped up in a tiny room for over a year had been torture.
But Luo Caisi didn’t respond.
She stood frozen, staring blankly into the void.
Suddenly, she felt an inexplicable pull from the empty sky—as if something precious to her was there.
She *had* to go there.
The urge was overwhelming, yet at the same time, she felt she didn’t need to move.
Just standing here, she could already see it.
*"Senior Sister, hurry! If that guy changes his mind, we might not get another chance!"* Gu Dao urged, growing anxious.
Luo Caisi still didn’t answer, her gaze fixed on the distant emptiness.

Back in the Boundless Sea Inn, Qiu Mo exhaled in relief.
"Father, we made it just in time. We sent her away."
"Was it your inn that tried to detain Luo Caisi?" A stern voice cut through the air.
Qiu Cang’ang and Qiu Mo turned to see a man who appeared younger than Qiu Cang’ang, his eyes sharp with anger.
"Grandfather!" Qiu Mo’s heart skipped a beat as he hastily bowed.
Qiu Cang’ang also bowed deeply.
"Father."
Qiu Cai had arrived—the strongest expert in Boundless Market City and its founder.
The only reason he was here was because of Luo Caisi.
"Speak," Qiu Cai said coldly.
This was his city.
When he heard that Luo Caisi had been detained in his grandson’s inn, he had been furious.
After receiving Qiu Canghe’s warning, he had immediately ordered all members of the Qiu family to avoid provoking Luo Caisi.
His next step had been to announce to the entire city that anyone who dared trouble Luo Caisi would face his wrath.
But before the order could fully circulate, news arrived—Luo Caisi had been held against her will in his own grandson’s inn.
This was unacceptable.
In a rage, Qiu Cai had rushed over without even sending a message first.
"Grandfather, Luo Caisi was staying here. I just let her go. One of our attendants tried to detain her, but my father killed him and apologized. We offered compensation, but she refused and left the city," Qiu Mo explained hesitantly.
"Fool! Do you think it’s that easy to let her go?" Qiu Cai backhanded Qiu Mo, sending him sprawling.
Did they really think a mere apology would fix this?
Without another word, Qiu Cai stormed out of the inn, heading straight for the city gates.
Only an idiot would believe that offending Lan Xiaobu’s Dao companion could be resolved with a simple apology.
Three days ago, after Lan Xiaobu’s display of power at the Great Kun Immortal Palace, Qiu Cai had immediately investigated him.
He had even scolded Qiu Canghe for delaying the news for three days.
What divine halls and divine sources in secret realms? If they provoked someone as terrifying as Lan Xiaobu, they wouldn’t live long enough to enter any secret realm.
His investigation had revealed that Lan Xiaobu was no ordinary figure.
During the opening of the Chaos Secret Realm in the Immortal World, he had single-handedly suppressed over a hundred Immortal Court Kings.
Even more frightening were the rumors that Lan Xiaobu had annihilated the Silent God Valley.
According to witnesses, Lan Xiaobu had admitted this himself aboard the Kunpeng Ship.

Goodnight, friends!)*
