"Who I am isn't important, and my purpose in coming here is quite simple."
Faced with Sara's question, Xia Yan answered very calmly.
Having already decided how to handle the Queen of Roran, he had no reason to worry about so much trouble.
Xia Yan had indeed relied on the mark Minato Namikaze left behind to find the Ryūmyaku's sealing site, but he had also genuinely wandered around Rōran City.
After all, he needed to buy supplies to cover his consumption during this period, and he also needed to find out whether Rōran knew about him.
During his wanderings, he discovered that Rōran had indeed completely severed its intelligence ties with Sunagakure. They had absolutely no idea what was happening outside.

Although many things remained here, Xia Yan had taken in every bit of its dilapidated state.
He remembered that Rōran's decline seemed to have been caused by war, but now that did not seem to be the case.
Although he had not taken the main roads on his way here, he had seen plenty of bandits and robbers entrenched around them.
