When Qian Jiyun led An Jiuyue to the small town at the base of Qingyun Sect's mountain, Qingyun Town was already teeming with people.
Every inn was fully occupied, even the sheds for firewood had people residing in them, and those who hadn't secured a room in an inn could only sigh in disappointment on the streets.
"What's going on here?"
The two sat at a tea stall, observing the bustling crowds of the small town.
"This gentleman and lady, is it your first time visiting the Xiang Dynasty?" the tea stall owner asked with a light chuckle, bringing tea over to them as he heard her mutter.
"Yes, it is our first time here, my husband and I previously lived in Gengnan," An Jiuyue casually fabricated a reason.
"I see."
The owner's face showed sudden realization. Gengnan was a small nation whose people rarely ventured out, almost akin to living in seclusion, with no business dealings even with other nations.
