Chu Tang reached the top of a hill, observing a young man heading into the city to shop. Although the man hadn't been drugged, his nervous demeanor suggested he knew something, but Chu Tang hadn't asked the right questions yet. For now, his task was to observe; if there were indeed issues, the young man would eventually slip up.
After the young man entered the city, Chu Tang also descended from the hilltop and followed him into the city, keeping a distance.
Liang City was bustling, with streets full of people and constant street vending. The city had a distinctive frontier style, evident as soon as one entered.
The young man headed straight for a spice shop, which seemed normal enough.
Next to him, Chu Tang noticed a candy seller and decided to buy a packet. Chewing on the candies, he noted, "Pretty tasty."
After leaving the shop, the young man then went to a restaurant to pack some side dishes for drinks.
