Upon entering White Stone City, Du You was left on his own. Everyone went about their business.
Armed with an introductory letter and a basic city map they had given him, Du You was responsible for everything else. White Stone City was not a small city like Qingji City; it was a massive military stronghold.
The city was primarily a military base. The spaces designated for merchants were rather limited.
The city center, however, was bustling. From a distance, Du You noticed that the houses were not built for practicality but for aesthetics. This district, starkly different from its surroundings, was the so-called noble area where the children of nobles resided. In reality, the nobles living there might not be many; most were from noble families who wished to obtain a noble status. Once they achieved their goal, they would mostly leave and not stay.
Hence, the city didn't really value these people. Perhaps, their wealth was the only thing that mattered.
