"In the past, due to a particular issue, I was banished to Jianye City. To avoid trouble, I pretended to be who I was previously, not with the intention of deceiving, I beg for Master Shen's understanding." Ma Xiuxiu respectfully bowed.
"Banished?" Shen Luo quickly picked up on that term.
"To tell you the truth, I'm an employee of the Treasure Hall. That year, I committed an error and was punished by being sent to Jianye City to manage a small shop. It wasn't until recently that I was pardoned and allowed to return to the headquarters in Chang'an City." Ma Xiuxiu sat down and explained.
"Miss Ma is from the Treasure Hall!" Shen Luo wore a surprised look.
He had been in Chang'an for nearly half a month now, and although he did not venture out much, he still learned a lot about the city from Xie Yuxin, including the names of several major forces among the cultivators in Chang'an City.
