Li Chen and Lian Hongshang took a mandarin duck bath and then traveled over three hundred li due north until they saw the ramparts of a city—Qingyang City!
This place was a crucial thoroughfare where merchants and businessmen once thronged in abundance, truly a land of wealth and prosperity.
However, the weather was not favorable on this day. The sky was gloomy, a chill wind assailed the air, and a fine mist of rain dampened the clothes of passersby.
Lian Hongshang looked up at the sky and said, "Chen, it looks like it's going to rain heavily. We should find a place to rest first!"
Li Chen pointed ahead and said, "There's a Qingyang Building up front; let's go there!"
Lian Hongshang replied with an "Okay" and followed Li Chen towards the Qingyang Building.
Qingyang Building was the largest inn in Qingyang City, a place crowded with wealthy merchants and nobles.
No sooner had Li Chen and Lian Hongshang entered than they caught the attention of many.
