Before returning to Water Blue Star, Su Ping first went to City Lord Mansion to inform them about the urgent news.
It was part of his duty as the Inspector of Golden Sparrow City.
Once the news was out, it immediately startled the City Lord and other nobles like Ji Hu, who were in a meeting with major households discussing relief efforts.
Especially when they learned there had been precedents ahead, they became even more anxious, like ants on a hot pot.
Su Ping noticed that several of the family heads from different families started to look distracted, most likely considering alternative escape routes.
Su Ping guessed that for people at their level, those alternatives would likely involve the surrounding workshops.
Compared to obvious targets like large cities, workshops, shielded by formations, undoubtedly offered more safety.
