Xiao Tan smiled and spoke as if he were coaxing a child, "Don't worry too much, I will ride in my own carriage and won't disturb you. As for meals, I still have some Silver and can fully cover my expenses."
He then looked at Su Yan, a hint of teasing twinkling in his eyes.
"Shen Wu has a reasonable excuse for not allowing me to join you on the road, but why won't you allow me? Are you planning to go back on your promise?"
"I... that's not what I meant. After all, I'm also just tagging along with them. If I want to bring you with us, I still need to ask for Master Mo Chen's opinion," Su Yan said, her eyes flickering somewhat guiltily.
Indeed, her behavior had been rather unfair.
She had agreed to take him along, but then she had encouraged Master Mo Chen not to bring him...
"Your Master Mo Chen didn't raise any objections to my joining you. Do you have any objections now?" asked Xiao Tan again.
"…No." Su Yan replied, evidently disheartened.
