This day.
Everyone in the Zheng Family was extremely unsettled; they had made ample preparations for a head-on confrontation with the nest of Rat Immortals. For this reason... they had deliberately evacuated the villagers living near the Zheng Family, asking them to stay away from the Zheng residence today.
After all, they didn't know whether clashing with the Rat Immortals would impact the nearby people.
And their doing so.
Also alerted some of the commoners who were unaware of the truth to something not quite right... Why would neighbors be sent away on what seemed like a day of great joy?
But every one of the Zheng Family kept tight-lipped and did not speak of the matter, leaving the villagers in the dark.
They could only take the silver that the Zheng Family gave them.
And then go indulge themselves.
