that she did not in any way interrupt him with his meditation, yet there were not many breadths of hair between the two.
Wang Ju Long’s face turned slightly sour, but quickly recovered its usual expression as she donned a black cloak, hiding her features. Deng Wu decided to wear something similar, and the two cloaked people vanished through the mansion gates.
As soon as the two left the courtyard, followers had appeared; their abilities were far too weak to stalk Deng Wu and Wang Ju Long, however, and as soon as they had gone through the gates, the two cloaks faded into the crowd of people.
Rushing through town Deng Wu aimed for the marketplaces, but he was quickly shocked to find that everything within this city was different from what they had expected.
There was no such thing as a marketplace; instead, there was a corn distribution center. Going there, Deng Wu found that money did not exist within this city and everyone shared what they had.
All harvests were given to the City Lord’s mansion, who then shared it between every family within the city. Not to mention crafting jobs, everyone did everything for free.
There was such a thing as a noble family, yet noble families were seen as similar to the City Lord, a family which shared all their harvests with the citizens.
Everyone did their own job at their own time, but none of them got paid even the smallest coin for doing so; instead, they did it to be entitled for the weekly food distribution.
Looking at it this way, a smile appeared on Deng Wu’s face. Although there was no money in this city and everyone was eligible for food, a lot of them would not get enough if they were sick or orphans, so Deng Wu instantly changed his plan, no longer aiming for merchants but instead the poor areas in the city.
The poor areas were the ones that they had seen first when they entered the city days before, and as soon as the people saw Deng Wu and Wang Ju Long in their cloaked appearances, everyone would vanish into their farmhouses.
Deng Wu decided to stop in the middle of the street. Looking behind him for a few moments, a deep sigh could be heard from beneath the cloak and he quickly removed it, allowing for his features to reappear.
Although Deng Wu had walked through the day before, no one had noticed him as all the attention had been on Hui Yue. Deng Wu was nothing but a retainer, which now ensured that no one had remembered his face.
Although the adults were worried about his sudden appearance, especially since it was the face of a man they had never seen before, most of the children had less hesitation and rushed towards him as he knelt down on the ground and greeted them.
From within his storage ring a couple of strips of dried meat were suddenly produced, and the eyes of the children grew with excitement. Not only because of the meat, but also due to the way it had appeared out of nowhere.
Chewing on one of the meat strips himself, Deng Wu shared them with the kids and laughed as they took them with grateful expressions.
Within the houses, women started to appear in the doorways. “Excuse me.” One of the younger woman finally had the courage to speak to Deng Wu and stood with her arms crossed over her chest, a half worried expression on her face.
“Can we help you with anything?” She asked again, her voice trembling slightly as she kept looking at Deng Wu, worried what he might do.
“As a matter of fact,” Deng Wu spoke slowly and clearly, allowing all to hear what he was saying, “I am looking for someone to answer some questions for me. I’ll trade meat for information, but whatever I ask about must stay a secret.”
Hearing the voice, more women came over and Deng Wu was invited into a house where he was offered to speak with the women.
Outside the door was Wang Ju Long, ensuring that no one who went in was someone unallowed to do so.
