Jiangya County was even livelier during the day than Chen Miao had imagined.
Not long after leaving the manor, Chen Miao saw people coming and going along the main road.
"Have you ever visited Jiangya County before, Young Master Chen?"
"No."
"Then let me show you around Jiangya County Town."

"Are these night-patrolling Demon-Suppressing Guards highly respected in town?"
Qingtian nodded.
"Of course. They're protecting us,
