Seeing Chen Lie looking at him, the storyteller quickly forced a smile and said, "No problem at all. I'm sure the young master heard everything I just said! Indeed, whether for personal safety or to maximize gains, it's best to hire a guide before heading to the Heavenly Dust Ruins!"

"From our tavern, head east, and you'll find a large square. There are many guides making a living there. Whether it's you or anyone else, if you want to hire a guide, you can inquire there!"

Knowing that the storyteller's words were well-intentioned, Chen Lie didn't say much, just smiled and said, "Thank you," before leaving the tavern.

Seeing Chen Lie leave, the old man noticed his granddaughter still gazing in that direction and said, "Stop looking, he's gone. It's time to snap out of it!"
