Not long after, the inn's waiter knocked gently on the door to Li Huowang's room. When he entered, he saw the guest with the Copper Coin mask sitting at the head of the round table, sipping tea.
"Sir? I heard you were looking for me?" he asked cautiously, hunching over as he approached the round table.
"Sit." Li Huowang held the teapot with one hand and poured a cup for the man.
"Ah, no, you're too kind, sir. I'll stand," the waiter replied. "Did you have orders for me? Was there any issue with our service?"
Having dealt with these outsiders for some time now, the waiter was no longer as frightened of them.
A small, pinky-sized Gold Ingot was placed on the table in front of the waiter. "I have some questions for you," Li Huowang said. "Answer them, and this gold is yours."
Before the waiter could even comprehend what was happening, Li Huowang got straight to the point. "Why are the people of Pi County so afraid of penile and testicular retraction? What's causing it?"
