"Okay, here it is."

"We need to pay attention for a period of time, how much does it cost?"

The environment of the small courtyard is good. There is a sycamore tree planted in the courtyard. The dense leaves cover the sky and the sun, casting a little coolness in this midsummer.

"Ten spiritual stones a day."

Anan looked at Wen Ruyu eagerly, and saw the other person throwing a bag over her.

"Tentatively scheduled for one month."

Anan secretly took a look at the spiritual stones inside. The specific number was much longer than what he requested, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"I……"

He wanted to say something, but Wen Ruyu stopped him: "The extra ones will be regarded as your reward for helping us find out the information."

"But can you tell us now what's going on in the town recently?"

Several people sat down at the stone table.

Anan brought tea and served the two of them diligently. When he mentioned this, he deliberately lowered his voice.

"Some treasure appeared in Wuwu Valley, and people in the town found out about it. They should have kept the news secret, but somehow it spread."

"So now that there is one more outsider in the town, there may be one more person competing for the treasure."

"The mayor was not happy and secretly ordered those inns not to receive outsiders, and tried to hide the news."

Anan looked like a kid, and his black and white eyes kept passing over the two people's faces, trying to see something.

"Mayor?"

The tea soothed her throat, but Lu Yun's tone didn't change much.

She raised her eyebrows: "Why is there a mayor here?"

Speaking of Wujian Town, it is a temporary place for many monks to stay. It is a land without owners, so how can there be a mayor?

"The local residents of Wujian Town voted recently."

Speaking of this, Anan curled his lips.

"Because of the things in Wuwu Valley?" Looking at Anan's expression, Lu Yun knew that she had hit the mark.

"right."

Wujian Town has been established for some time, and many people have lived here for a long time. Compared with the tourists who come and leave, they consider themselves locals in the town.

Since the treasure was discovered by locals, they naturally don’t want outsiders to get a share of it.

But everyone is used to fighting alone, so it is difficult to join forces to fight against the outside world.

Therefore, someone suggested that a mayor should be selected to lead them and try to get the treasure in their hands.

This is how the current mayor was born.

Under the operation of the mayor, Wujian Town has become a turbulent place. Everyone is an informant. If outsiders make any movement, they will be discovered clearly.

Here, outsiders are subject to restrictions.

"Not only the inn, but also those shops. If you outsiders want to buy something, the price has doubled several times."

Anan felt guilty when he said these words.

In fact, his behavior is not allowed. The mayor has set a rule that local residents are not allowed to help outsiders.

Once discovered, he will be publicly executed.

"Then why are you helping us?"

Wen Ruyu asked softly, Anan lowered his head, hesitating.

Lu Yun's eyes were on the other side of the small courtyard, where there was a separate room separated by a fence.

Ever since they came in, Lu Yun could feel that a pair of eyes had been watching them over there.

But there was no malice in that look, there was just worry, concern for Anan.

Moreover, a faint smell of medicine drifted over from there. Facing Anan's silence, Lu Yun held the tea cup with her fingers, her expression unclear.

"How is your grandma?"

This sentence made Anan raise his head and subconsciously look over there. The yard was empty, and Grandma had not come out.

Anan understood that the other party was testing him.

After meeting Lu Yun's bottomless eyes, Anan smiled bitterly in frustration.

"Grandma is in very bad health. I, I need spiritual stones to buy medicine for grandma."

That's why he took risks and violated the rules.

This yard is his own territory, so he dares to bring people in.

After realizing that his thoughts had been seen through, Anan did not hide it: "Whatever you want to know, I will tell you as long as I hear it."

"I, I just ask you not to tell this matter."

Once someone finds out, he and his grandma will end up in a terrible situation.

Thinking of something, Anan's body was shaking. It was because of fear.

Lu Yun found the same confusion on Wen Ruyu's face.

"Don't worry, we are not interested in those treasures."

She came for the news about Teng Fenghu, and Wen Ruyu came for the marrow-cleansing grass. The two of them were not the kind of people who couldn't move when they saw the treasure.

"Aren't you curious what it is?"

Anan's eyes were bright, and he could see no greed or desire in the two of them.

He actually observed there for a long time before deciding to follow these two people.

"Don't be curious about things you shouldn't be curious about."

Lu Yun's words meant something.

Anan explored them too much.

Anan, who understood this sentence, turned pale. He stood up and pursed his lips: "I live over there. If you need anything, you can call me."

"I, I'm leaving first!"

Anan got into the house, and the prying eyes disappeared.

"How to say?"

Lu Yun asked Wen Ruyu.

Wujian Town wanted to keep something here, and united with the "locals" in the entire town, and most of these locals agreed.

It means that this treasure is not only effective for one person, otherwise it will not be enough.

Lu Yun recalled it and couldn't imagine this happening.

"Stand still."

Wen Ruyu coughed a few more times and smiled reluctantly: "I may have to trouble you to look after me for a while."

He needs to retreat to recuperate his body.

"good."

Because of Anan's reminder, Lu Yun did not go out to find out the news. After moving in, she began to live in seclusion.

Every time she practices, she will use an umbrella to cover up the movements of the two of them to avoid being noticed by the outside world.

The existence of the secret method of spiritual explosion makes the fragments she feeds much faster.

Half a month later, the spiritual power in Lu Yun's body was finally full, but Wen Ruyu had not yet come out of seclusion.

Sitting on the rocking chair in the small courtyard, Wu Zhu stood aside, Lu Yun drank tea and squinted under the shadow of the tree.

The scorching hot weather cannot affect Lu Yun. For those who practice, the cold and heat have long been immune.

Although I haven't gone out for half a month, Anan will come and report the news that I should know every day.

The door to the small courtyard was pushed open, and Anan walked in carefully. Anan behaved particularly well today.

With his head lowered and his fingers wrapped in his sleeves, there was an inexplicable sadness in the other person's body.

"Has someone been executed again?"

Lu Yun broke the silence and cast her eyes into the distance.

There was a faint smell of blood floating over the town, and the blood had not dissipated since the day she entered Wujian Town.

The local residents' resistance to outsiders was obvious and they could not refuse them directly, so they took such extreme measures.

The inn refused to check in, the prices in ordinary shops were tripled, and the elixirs, weapons, and talismans were not sold to the public.

Not welcome, this is the attitude expressed by Wujian Town.

There are also many people like Anan who are secretly hiding outsiders. After being discovered, those people will be executed in front of many locals.

This is a warning and an oath of sovereignty over Wujiang Town.
