Of course, Yi Tianyun knew the hawker was a scammer. He had known all along; he was just talking to him to get information. He hadn't, however, expected a young boy to try and dissuade him. That was a surprise.
In a world as chaotic as this, he had always admired people who could still be so kind. Since this stranger had gone this far for him, he would grant him a great opportunity!
But first, he had to get the details out of the hawker. After subduing the man, he began his interrogation, asking about the general state of the Celestial Realm. He couldn't gather much information just by asking the Illusion Spirit here.
The spirit couldn't go down to collect information itself, and most Cultivators only came once every decade, so they rarely revealed specific information.
Yi Tianyun could only gather information by questioning the locals, with news about Shi Xueyun being his top priority. He wasn't foolish enough to directly ask for her whereabouts. Who would even know?
