After finishing my conversation with Noya, I descended back to the town.@@novelbin@@

It was still not past noon.

The streets remained crowded, and the liveliness persisted.

I had felt the same at Yahwol Palace—this place had an oddly bright atmosphere.

Zhongyuan was also full of energy, but there, it felt rushed and heated. In contrast, this place carried a certain sense of ease.

"Hmm."

Of course, simply observing wouldn’t reveal an answer.

No, to be honest, I wasn’t looking for an answer in the first place.

"Huh?"

I felt a gaze from somewhere.

"Those people…"

I found the cause in the direction I was looking.

Among the unique-looking people of Mount Hua, there was a particularly small group.
