They wandered through this place as casually as if they were browsing a market, and before long, they had headed toward a very bustling area.
Di Qun and Ao Xin formed a group of two as well. Carrying their own things, they headed off in another direction.
That left Qin Xi.
Qin Xi had no objections. When they had first divided into groups, he had already planned to be on his own. He headed down a broad road, carrying a vegetable basket in his hand, filled with crisp, fresh greens.
But Qin Xi had not expected that as he walked, he would somehow arrive at the entrance of a government office.
Looking at the office, it did seem imposing and grand, but there were no soldiers guarding it at all. He could not help feeling that this place hardly looked like somewhere people actually worked.
Qin Xi glanced inside and saw a man dressed entirely in black. His expression was extremely calm as he looked at Qin Xi and said, "Where did this old man come from? Hurry up and get lost. This place isn't for you."
Qin Xi had not expected this place to have no one standing guard, yet the moment he stood here, someone noticed him. It seemed this person's skills were truly far beyond those of an ordinary human.
By now, Qin Xi could basically confirm that the other party was likely one of the Masked Man's subordinates, which meant his senses were extremely sharp.
When he heard the man speak like that, Qin Xi hurriedly lowered his head.
Then he spoke to the man in a humble, low voice. "Sorry, sorry. This old man got lost and accidentally came here. I'll leave right away, right away."
As he spoke, he headed off in another direction.
