"Just a small breakthrough, practicing my hand along the way."
Chen Ye smiled casually and took the Spirit Feather Chicken from Hee Qi's hand.
"These days, you've been working hard handling affairs inside and outside Lisong Valley."
"Brother Chen, what are you saying? This is all part of the job. With you, Peak Master Chen, presiding over things, no one dares to provoke Lisong Valley. I, as the steward, can only manage these affairs."
Hee Qi suddenly paused, hesitating a bit as he said,
"It's just that lately, my men have noticed some strangers in Peach Mountain District, and we don't know why they've come."
"Strangers?"
Chen Ye became serious.
"Yes, exactly during the days you returned to Lisong Valley. Peach Mountain District rarely sees outsiders; usually, familiar faces come to do business in Spiritual Peach, or some small nearby families procure goods here. It's unlike Yunxi District where loose cultivators gather, a mix of good and bad."
