Cheng Xingchu's travel experience

Meanwhile...

After Cheng Xingchu excused himself from the council hall, he did not head straight to his spiritual site to rest. Instead, he took a detour around the inner yard for a long stroll.

"This is really odd. Why have I not seen a single person around? Is this Tiansang Spirit Palace inner yard merely a decoration? Why are there so few people?" 

He thought of the letter seeking help.

"Could it be that they have all gone into hiding?"

"Tsk! If it is the case, then the Tiansang Spirit Palace is surely overrated."

Cheng Xingchu had a cynical smile and decided not to loiter any further. 

Although there was nobody in the inner yard, there were still people in the outer yard. There were so many people out there when he arrived, and they possibly had not received any instructions to hide. It was probably why there were still many people having fun outside.
