Kyoto.
When Su Ziyu returned to the capital city of Fusang in disguise once again, he noticed that the flow of people seemed to have dwindled considerably.
People hurried by one after another, and even the traveling merchants had noticeably decreased. Many houses remained closed in broad daylight, as if their inhabitants had already moved away. Entering the city, he noticed some noble families seemed ready to move out, and seeing Kyoto now, it was evident that many had temporarily left. However, the shrine and temple areas seemed exceptionally lively, as if countless people came every day to offer incense.
"Benefactor?..." As Su Ziyu wandered down the street, a young girl who had just come out of the shrine saw his back, hesitated briefly, and then quickly chased after him.
Huh?
Su Ziyu stopped, turned around, and upon seeing her, his expression held a trace of surprise. He smiled and said, "So it's you."
