Although they were related by blood, in reality, the relationship between the two of them was thousands of miles apart. They were distant relatives, so even eight generations might not be enough for them.2

Although they were distant relatives, they still had relatives. Compared to the other waiters, Li Fugui was naturally more willing to trust him and bring him along.

Of course, Li Fugui didn't completely trust him, otherwise he wouldn't have doubted him when the matter of the liquor was stolen, and this was also a good thing that Li Zhong and Li Fugui were slightly related.

Otherwise, when the theft occurred, Li Fugui might have dismissed him for dereliction of duty. How could he wait until he had investigated thoroughly to determine whether he was right or wrong?

Actually, it was quite normal for Li Fugui to suspect Li Zhong when the wine was stolen. After all, he was the only one in the inn at that time, and his room was directly opposite the wine cellar's entrance.

At such a close distance and in the dead of night, not to mention the sound of a lock, even a mouse would be able to hear a sound, unless they were sleeping too deeply.

But since he left you to guard the store, it was to make you pay more attention. How could he let you sleep to death? Thus, because of this reason, Li Fugui suspected Li Zhong.

Although Ye Xuan could not see the situation inside the Spirit Heaven Inn, his Spiritual Sense could still sense it. No matter what Li Zhong was doing in the Spirit Heaven Inn right now, everything could be taken into his "eyes".

After Li Zhong finished packing and returned to his room to prepare for rest, Ye Xuan left his temporary residence and headed towards the Spirit Heaven Inn. Soon, he arrived at the entrance of the Spirit Heaven Inn.

He did not need to knock on the door. His figure flashed and instantly disappeared from where he stood. After familiarizing himself with it, when he reappeared, he was already standing in the courtyard of the Ling Tian Inn. He was standing at the entrance to the wine cellar.

At this moment, the door to the wine cellar was closed. The lock was hung on the door, but it was not locked. Ye Xuan paused for a moment, then took out the key and gently locked it.

"Hmm? Lord Ye, you are here." The moment Ye Xuan locked the door, Li Zhong suddenly opened the door and walked out of the room. When he saw Ye Xuan locking the door, he immediately bowed and said with a smile.

Actually, Ye Xuan only made a slight sound when he locked the door, and that was only to the point of being detected by Li Zhong. This confirmed that Ye Xuan's hearing ability was very normal and even very sharp.

Then, if under these circumstances the thief could steal the wine, it would either be that the thief really didn't go through the main entrance and enter the wine cellar, or that Li Zhong really had a problem.

Seeing Li Zhong greet him, Ye Xuan nodded towards him. He smiled slightly and warned, "Remember, don't touch this door lock. No matter what happens tonight, you only need to obediently stay in your room."

It was highly likely that this thief was a cultivator. Therefore, it didn't matter if the thief came or not, as long as he stayed in his room it would be the most sensible thing to do. At the very least, it would ensure his safety.
