'I've always been in the habit of hiding my Martial Arts Power. It's just a way to stay alive in these chaotic times!'
The two of them ambled along, taking nearly an hour before they finally reached the Ruyi District.
Along the way, they occasionally saw many commoners carrying bundles of all sizes and hurrying along, which made Mu Xiaowan curious.
Only after Chen Cheng explained did she understand. These people were all afraid the price of grain would rise even further, so they were hoarding food to prepare for the drought.
Mu Xiaowan, kind and simple-hearted by nature, was instantly moved and said,
"Brother Cheng, if we had ever found ourselves in a situation like this, I'm afraid the silver coins we had at home wouldn't have been enough to buy food. Life is just too hard in this world!"
"Yes, it is a difficult world," Chen Cheng said with a light nod.
Before long, the two arrived at Upper Street, only to find it bustling with people. It was quite a lively scene.
