Xiushui Town isn't very big, with only two streets in total. Due to its proximity to Azure Dragon Temple, it used to be a stopping point for many martial artists coming to study or pay their respects.
But now, with the decline of Azure Dragon Temple, Xiushui Town has also become desolate.
Especially after Hei Yunzi and his bandits began causing trouble, the town became increasingly dilapidated.
As Zhao Ya walked into the town, aside from a herb and groceries store, the only other place open was a small tavern.
Zhao Ya walked slowly along the street, rhythmically tapping a gong.
Disguising himself as a traveling doctor had this advantage; he could wander through the streets and alleys without arousing suspicion.
As he walked, Zhao Ya observed the state of the town. Most of the houses were somewhat run-down. Although people weren't in rags, few were well-dressed, showing that most residents here didn't have a good life.
