Upon hearing this, the guard leader's expression changed slightly.
He said to Shopkeeper Sun, "If the situation has changed, it's best we don't stay here tonight."
Shopkeeper Sun, however, was hesitant.
"I've only been here once or twice, so it's not that strange that I don't recognize everyone.
"If we miss this stop tonight, we'll have to make camp in the wilderness… And…"
He couldn't quite make up his mind.
Hearing this, the guard leader fell silent for a moment before finally saying, "In my opinion, we should not linger here."
Shopkeeper Sun wasn't an unreasonable man. Seeing the guard leader's persistence, he nodded.
"Alright then. We'll do as you say."
He had, after all, paid a hefty sum for this guard leader, hoping he would ensure a safe journey.
Now that they'd encountered a suspicious situation, it was only natural to listen to the guard leader. What, was he supposed to listen to himself, a mere merchant?
