Chapter 2309: Chapter 2309: So Many People?

The masked Lady of the City Lord, upon seeing that the person they were searching for was not in the inn, turned to ask Dong’er.

Dong’er was already on the verge of tears.

Clearly, they had agreed yesterday, yet when they came early this morning, the person had already disappeared.

"Madam, I’m sorry. Yesterday, I failed to confirm an exact time with the lady. It was my fault for mishandling the matter," she admitted, taking full responsibility.

All the blame, she took upon herself—after all, it was her mistake not to arrange a precise time with the lady yesterday.

"Be more careful in the future. Don’t handle things so rashly again," the Lady of the City Lord replied casually, without further reprimanding her.

"Madam, should we... head back?"

Dong’er cautiously glanced at her mistress and asked.

"Since we’ve already come this far, turning back wouldn’t be right. Go downstairs and book a room. We’ll stay here for now," instructed the Lady of the City Lord.

Today, they were dressed plainly, bearing no signs of wealth, so staying in an inn shouldn’t be an issue.

"Yes, Madam."

Dong’er answered and promptly went downstairs.

Recently, Sky City had seen an influx of people, causing most inns to be fully occupied.

Even this inn, despite its higher prices and slower pace of filling up, was soon crowded with guests after Lin Caisang and his party moved in.

When Dong’er asked below, she found there were no rooms available.

However, as the trusted attendant of the Lady of the City Lord, even when no rooms were available in an inn, she could think of ways to resolve the situation.

Without hesitation, she offered a high price to purchase the room of the guest next to Lin Caisang’s party.

Chushui, suddenly handed a bag full of gold and silver without reason, clutched the pouch and immediately carried it to the room of Zhe Jue and Zhen Wu, tossing his belongings onto their bed before heading out again.

...

A short while later, Sui Zimo and Lin Caisang arrived at the registration site.

Two days later, the registration would end, ushering the time when everyone would showcase their skills and expertise.

No one wished to be eliminated and miss the opportunity to enter the Boundless Forest.

As a result, even those who had registered earlier would frequently visit the site to check if someone stronger had appeared, potentially knocking them off the list.

When Sui Zimo brought Lin Caisang here, the place could only be described as a sea of people.

"Why are there so many people?"

Lin Caisang stood close to her husband, protected in his embrace, eyeing the crowd ahead. There was only a narrow pathway leading inside, while everywhere else was packed with people.

Having spent so many days at this location, most of the crowd had grown familiar with one another and were chatting and laughing.

Yet, due to several murder cases in Sky City, many wore expressions of worry.

Nobody knew if they might become the next victim.

"Ugh, it’s so worrying. Who on earth is the killer? Truly terrifying!"

"No kidding! Wasn’t Young Master Tianfeng handling this case a while ago? Still, no progress was made. I heard the City Lord has handed the investigation over to the newly arrived Commander Lin. Let’s see if he can uncover anything."
