Ling Chuxi's caution was not without reason. Even Xiang Yun, who was a monarch, had suffered a great loss in Qingyuan City. It could be seen that the other party's strength was not weak. Naturally, she would not be careless.
After randomly finding an Inn to stay in, Ling Chuxi brought them into a restaurant. No matter where they were, a restaurant was always the best place to get information. They could also have a good meal and taste the local food. As an experienced foodie, Ling Chuxi would never miss such an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.
Ling Chuxi ordered a lot of famous delicacies. While she was chatting with Zi Yin and the others, she perked up her ears to listen to the nonsense of the diners around her.
Not long after, the dishes were served, and they really looked, smelled, and tasted good. After drinking a mouthful of the nourishing soup with low-level spiritual herbs, Ling Chuxi and the others repeatedly said 'good'. Although this soup could not be compared to the 10 N full-body soup that Yue Kaili had carefully brewed, it was not far off.
Ling Chuxi and the others were surprised that such a delicious soup stock could be made in an ordinary roadside restaurant. However, when they thought about the Yue family's ancestors who had served as the city Lord of Qingyuan City for generations, they did not find it strange. Presumably, this delicious soup stock was not only passed down in the Yue family, but also a tradition of Qingyuan City.
"Did you hear? the Yue clan seems to have returned?" Ling Chuxi and the others were enjoying the delicious food when a middle-aged customer's deliberately lowered voice came from the side.
"What? Yue clan? I heard that the Yue clan was exterminated that year. Didn't everyone die?" Another customer asked in surprise. This person's hair was already white, and he seemed to be in his seventies or eighties.
"Lower your voice. I heard that the Yue clan still has a descendant. He's already 70 or 80 years old. He came back a few days ago." The first person said.
"That's good, that's good. It'll be good if a descendant of the Yue clan returns. You are still young, so you don't know how prosperous our Qingyuan City used to be, but I do. Back when the Yue clan's clan leader was the city Lord, with his superb alchemy skills, our Qingyuan City was one of the top 100 cities in the heaven domain. Cultivators came to the city in an endless stream to ask for medicinal pills. At the busiest time, there were so many people that even carriages couldn't pass through. It's not like now, where it's so quiet with only a few strangers all year round. " The old man said with a sigh.
"Big brother Xu, you just said that a descendant of the Yue family has returned. It should have been a few days, but why haven't I seen that person?" A young man asked the middle-aged man who had spoken earlier.
"I don't know about that." The middle-aged customer shook his head and said mysteriously,"did you notice that city Lord Xue's guards have become more diligent these days? they patrol the area from time to time and even place spies at the city gates. Do you think they are on guard against someone?"
"Could it be that they are guarding against the Yue clan's descendants?" The young man understood and said in surprise.
"I didn't say that," The middle-aged man said as he took a sip of wine with an unfathomable expression.
"I remember now. That descendant of the Yue clan has been back for quite some time now. If we have to guard against him, it won't be him. It might be someone related to him." The young man suddenly smacked his head and said in realization,"I remember now. I've heard of this before. The Yue clan's massacre was related to the Xue clan. Could it be ..."
