Chapter 3297: Chapter 3297: Third Elder Brother Worked Hard

However, the people they encountered were quite shrewd, very cautiously offering only food, avoiding conversation as much as possible, almost treating themselves like mutes.

After wandering around the city for half a day with hardly any places left to visit, several groups returned to their lodging one after another.

"You actually managed to gather some information?"

The Ninth Senior Brother and others were shocked upon hearing the Fifth Senior Brother discuss with Min Yi, wondering if it was false news or if they had encountered evil cultivators in disguise.

"You weren’t followed, were you? I’ll check if there’s anyone tailing us."

"Come back."

The Fifth Senior Brother saw him about to leave and pulled him back.

Is he such a careless person? Even if he were, there’s still Qian Yijian and Young Master Min; they are cautious and would surely ensure that they’re not followed.

"Going out now would only draw attention."

"Seriously, did you really gather some information?" Senior Sister Jun also stepped forward to ask.

"You didn’t gather any?" the Fifth Senior Brother retorted.

"How about you guys? Out all morning without any gain?" Over there, Qian Yizheng asked Qian Yirong.

"What could we gain? Those people are like gourds with sawed-off mouths. We couldn’t gather anything, they didn’t even talk to us."

Qian Yirong pouted disappointedly.

"Yes, yes, Second Brother is right; it’s the same on our side. No one paid us any mind. We went into a shop for food, and they didn’t let us order; they just brought food out from the kitchen."

An Yilu nodded and shared what happened on their side.

"The shopkeeper said exactly two words from the moment we entered to the moment we left."

"What words?"

The others were curious.

"One tael."

An Yilu said.

He’d never seen such a concise way of serving customers; except for telling them how much silver to pay, he said nothing else.

If he hadn’t said those two words, An Yilu would have suspected that the shop was run by mutes, it was that quiet.

"Pfft!"

Little Nuonuo couldn’t hold back and laughed.

He didn’t expect his brothers to encounter such a situation.

"Third Brother went through a lot."

He spoke to An Yilu without any sympathy, silently blaming them for not taking him along, feeling that if he’d been with them, perhaps more information could have been gathered.

"You!"

Yi Zhou, hearing the little baby’s words, reached out and gently pinched his nose.

"Now the city is anxious because of the evil cultivators; it’s reasonable for people not to engage with outsiders," said the Second Senior Brother from the Bright Moon Sect solemnly.

Gathering any information at all is already good, at least they know that sect disciples’ corpses are piled in Salt Lane.

"Young Master Qian and Young Master Qian, what do you think? Should we go to Salt Lane this afternoon, not to bring back the corpses, but just set them on fire?"

He looked at Qian Yizheng and Qian Yirong, seeking their opinions.

They couldn’t just leave the sect disciples’ corpses there, right?

After cremating the corpses, they could find some jars to store the ashes temporarily, keep them in a safe place, and once Rock City regains its former prosperity, take them back to a scenic spot to bury them properly.

"Okay."

Qian Yizheng thought for a moment and nodded.

"If there are still sect disciples in the city, they could learn about the presence of sect members through the news of the cremation of corpses, only..."
