Chapter 434: Chapter 269: Hero Duan Juxia to the Rescue! (Please Subscribe)_2

No matter what, they all gave the illusion of watching you.

Duan Yun and Shen Ying couldn’t help but recall the scarecrows on the graveyard of Yuzhu Villa.

However, it was strange that after the battles at the graveyard and the Azure Dragon Blood battle, the scarecrows in that area had decreased as if they had fled.

Among the weeds and shrubs, the clay figures watched as Duan Yun and his companions’ carriage departed.

And as the road became wider and wider, Wuye City was now in sight.

Duan Yun learned from the scrolls of the rolling screen door that Wuye City was not leafless; on the contrary, the city was planted with plenty of Populus euphratica trees.

But when the autumn leaves flew, it was still hard to find fallen leaves on the ground in the city.

The reason for this was all because the City Lord loved cleanliness.

The City Lord was obsessed with cleanliness to the point of paranoia. It was said that during autumn when leaves fell, if there were more than ten fallen leaves in front of someone’s home, there might be beatings and killings, and those who were good-looking in the family could be violated.

It was said that in order to keep Wuye City clean, the City Lord had, regardless of his health, violated hundreds of women in the city continuously throughout an autumn.

Thus, autumn was the most painful time for the citizens of Wuye City. There was already too much work to do, and families had to assign someone to watch for falling leaves.

It was rumored that the City Lord had once forced marriage upon an extremely beautiful wife.

In a situation where the City Lord violated whomever he pleased, his effort to marry her properly showed his true affection, which for a time became a hot topic in the city.

Unfortunately, this marriage ended in a few months with the brutal murder of the Lady.

The reason was that the Lady did not love cleanliness and was seen by the City Lord secretly picking her nose, which immediately shattered her beautiful image. The City Lord thus lost faith in love.

At that time, many people in the city couldn’t help but curse the Lady, saying she didn’t know how fortunate she was, being favored and properly married by the City Lord, and she still dared to pick her nose secretly, lacking self-restraint.

When Duan Yun read these records in the scroll, he couldn’t help but become hot-headed.

He had decided, after rescuing the people and killing Jade Guanyin, he would come back and kill this cleanliness-loving City Lord.

Before dark, Duan Yun and his companions arrived at the largest inn in Wuye City — Tongfu Inn.

It was true that Wuye City had no leaves, but that was because the Populus euphratica trees of spring had just sprouted leaves, and fallen leaves were naturally scarce.

It must be said, there were indeed a lot of people in Wuye City.

Mainly because the land was rich in Gold and ore. Yellow Jade Island, where Jade Guanyin was located, was famous for the Yellow Jade Vein.

Everyone in the world hustles and bustles for profit.

As long as there is a profit to be made, there will be no lack of people coming to earn Silver.

Duan Yun, Feng Ling’er, and Shen Ying, the three of them stayed at Tongfu Inn.

During their stay, because the Sky Room was full, Duan Yun played the domineering CEO and offered five times the price to make the guests who had already checked in leave.

It can only be said that the landlady of Tongfu Inn was a person who opened her eyes at the sight of money. Duan Yun thought it would take ten times the price for success, yet at five times, the landlady personally arranged for her attendants to make it happen.

Staying in the most expensive Sky Room of the inn, the three of them did not feel very clean.

Since it was close to the desert, the weather was dusty, so there was always some sand in the room.

The coachwoman expressed her confusion too.

The main reason she was chosen by Duan Yun and the others was not for her superb riding skills and attentive service, but because she had been here once five years ago, relatively experienced.

According to her, five years ago, although Wuye City was known as "Leafless," that was all due to the City Lord’s perverse behavior, and the city and its surroundings were lush and green.

But this time, she found that the vegetation had become much sparser.

And the Populus euphratica trees of Wuye City had died a lot.

It can only be said that the place was getting dryer.

Duan Yun had no time to deal with these environmental desertification issues. He had to find a man named Fan Gao next.

Fan Gao was formerly a disciple of the rolling screen door, specifically responsible for gathering information about Jade Guanyin in this Wuye City area.

But later, when the rolling screen door gave up on this matter, Fan Gao went from being a professional informant to a part-timer, and then for even more Silver savings, he was outright dismissed.

After being "optimized" away, Fan Gao did not leave Wuye City, and whether he had a way to go to Yellow Jade Island or not, the manager of the rolling screen door was not sure.

After all, they no longer contacted those who had been "optimized."

Therefore, Duan Yun could only find this man to see if there were any clues.

After all, though they had arrived in Wuye City, they knew very little about the mysterious Yellow Jade Island; it would be best to have such a guide to avoid groping in the dark.

After dinner, Duan Yun, Shen Ying, and Feng Ling’er went out.

They followed the road to the address of Fan Gao recorded in the scroll. freёwebnoѵel.com

It was a narrow alley, very dim.

Duan Yun knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.

However, as martial arts experts, all three sensed that there was someone inside.

So with a clang, Duan Yun pushed the door open, and what appeared before them was a middle-aged man with a pale face.

The man stood there, all trembling.

And his posture, as if he was walking.

Feng Ling’er asked puzzledly, "Why didn’t you answer the door?"

After seeing Duan Yun and the other two, the middle-aged man trembled and said, "I hadn’t had the chance to see who it was, and you all came in."

With that, he shivered as he tried to sit down.

It was then that Duan Yun realized he was not deliberately ignoring the door, but intended to see who it was before deciding how to act.

After all, to him, they were strangers.

Unfortunately, his entire body moved very slowly, reminiscent of a shaking version of a sloth.

"You, what happened to you?" Duan Yun asked doubtfully.
