As expected, there was some fuss over these newly arrived refugees, though not as much as Bran had expected. As it turned out, this was only the latest in a long stream of suddenly disenfranchised folks who, on hearing tell of the growing numbers here, came here seeking refuge. There were humans, both jianghu and not, as well as no small variety of magical creature. This latest batch even included a cultivated teapot, or at least, the person carrying it claimed it was a cultivated teapot. Like every other cultivator, it had reverted back to its pre-cultivation state.
Naturally of these people, there were also those whose allegiance was instead to The Unity and wanted to sneak into the settlement to cause havoc and win points, so a significant amount of effort was deployed to investigate, quarantine, and otherwise test each and every newcomer until everyone was satisfied, teapot included.
