Chapter 1540 - 757: Chaos Within the City? (Part 2)
In a short time, it should be enough.
"Hmm? Why does it feel like the city is even more chaotic now than it was before?"
Luo Chen observed the street, noticing the soldiers dressed in Iron Armor, emanating waves of Evil Qi.
His eyebrows involuntarily furrowed slightly.
Luo Chen exchanged a glance with Qing Shuang, each seeing a hint of confusion and vigilance in the other’s eyes.
Qing Shuang gently tugged on Luo Chen’s sleeve and whispered: "We should be careful, let’s find a place to understand the situation first."
They threaded through the bustling crowd and found a relatively quiet teahouse.
Inside the teahouse, several guests were whispering to each other, with occasional sighs heard. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang sat in a corner and ordered two cups of hot tea.
"Waiter, what has been happening in the city recently?" Luo Chen asked the waiter who walked over.
The waiter glanced around and lowered his voice: "Honored guests, you must be from out of town, right? The city isn’t peaceful lately. I heard there’s trouble at the City Lord’s Mansion, the City Lord suddenly fell gravely ill, and now various forces in the city are eager to seize power."
Qing Shuang’s brows knit tightly; she whispered to Luo Chen: "It seems a lot has happened while we were away."
Luo Chen nodded, pondering for a moment, then said to the waiter: "Is there any safe place in the city? We just arrived and don’t want to get involved in these disputes."
