Before the courtyard, Li Jianchen was visibly taken aback, then understood. "You mean Zhuo Feng?"
Zhang Ye nodded. "Haven't you noticed there's no one living nearby? Everyone moved away. Only you, who haven't been back for years, would bring your friend here to live. Aren't you leading him into a pit?"
Li Jianchen shook his head. "I forgot about that. But it's nothing—we can just apply to change locations."
Zhang Ye nodded. "That works too. I still have things to do. I'll hold a welcome banquet for you in a couple of days, and bring this friend along."
After exchanging a nod with Wei Fan from afar, Zhang Ye hurried away.
"What did Zhang Ye mean?"
Wei Fan walked into his own courtyard and found it was not very large, about the same size as the courtyard where he had stayed in Su City.
Li Jianchen walked in as well and said, "The Saint City is rich in spiritual essence. When some people cultivate, they directly absorb the essence of heaven and earth to save Spirit Crystals. But that affects the people nearby.
"Though the Saint City seems lawless, few people actually do this, because it is easy to offend those living around you, and it is also impolite.
"There is a Territory Envoy nearby named Zhuo Feng. Whenever he cultivates, he does exactly this, completely disregarding everyone around him. He has always absorbed the essence of heaven and earth without restraint, but he is powerful, so the nearby Territory Envoys fear him and have all moved away..."
"Come on, I'll take you around to familiarize you with some other important places!"
This was originally one of the Saint City's rules, so neither of them paid it much mind.
After closing the courtyard gate, Wei Fan and Li Jianchen departed.
