To make a long story short, after the warm welcome from the shopkeeper, the storekeeper personally took Ye Xuan on a "tour" of the Spirit Heaven Inn. The most important place was, of course, the central area of the event.1

The Ling Tian Inn wasn't too big, but it wasn't small either. It might not be ranked well in the entire Ling Tian City, but it could be considered one of the largest inns in the northern district.

The Ling Tian Inn was divided into four levels. To be precise, there were only three levels, because the lowest level was underground. That was where the wine cellar was located.

Due to the fact that the Spirit Heaven Inn was not small and its business was very booming, the Spirit Heaven Inn still had a large amount of wine. If he were to let the thieves steal all of it, even if he had two months time, they wouldn't be able to finish stealing it.

After passing through the inn, he would enter the courtyard of the Spirit Heaven Inn. After passing through the courtyard, he would enter the residence area of the Spirit Heaven Inn. This residence area usually stored a large amount of goods and horses.

In the courtyard, there were some inns, kitchens, warehouses, private residences, and other places. Of course, the entrance to the wine cellar was also located in the courtyard.

During the day, the door to the wine cellar was opened all day long because of the need to start construction. Only when the work was finished at night were all the rooms in the inn locked, including the entrance to and exit from the wine cellar.

According to what he knew, it was unknown whether it was because the waiter stayed in the Ling Tian Inn every day, or because the innkeeper was worried about him, or because the innkeeper had this habit, afraid that the inn's goods would be in short supply, so he had a habit of searching for goods.

He had to check the rest of the goods twice a day. It was because of this habit that he discovered that the liquor was stolen when he checked the remaining goods at night and before starting work the next morning.

Since they were always counting the missing wine the next morning, it was certain that the thieves had taken action at night, and that night was indeed the best time to steal.

However, there was a big problem. When night fell, the inn's wine cellar entrance would be personally locked by the innkeeper. Aside from the innkeeper, no one else had this key.

This meant that if the thief wanted to enter the wine cellar to steal the wine, and if he wanted to enter the wine cellar without the key, there was only one way, and that was to smash the lock or open the door.

However, this was a strange thing. Every second day, when he counted, the door to the wine cellar was completely undamaged, so how did this thief get into the wine cellar?

In the beginning, the innkeeper had suspected that the waiter might have secretly used the key to his wine cellar, so the door wasn't damaged.

As a result, the innkeeper had the waiter leave the inn for the night. In the end, he still lost the wine and drinks on the second day.
