"The Grand Chieftain is kind?" Jun Wu Xie sat in her room, thinking back on what the soldier had said, finding it laughable.
If the Grand Chieftain was truly kind, why would he only let in three hundred people a day? For them to be continuously letting people in, it showed that the Clear Breeze City was still able to hold some more people. But they just had to let people in intermittently, and no one cared about the refugees staying in the tents outside the city's gates.
This seemingly kind act, in Jun Wu Xie's eyes, was just an extremely clumsy cover.
When they came into the Clear Breeze City earlier, Jun Wu Xie had already noticed that the streets and alleys of the Clear Breeze City were not crowded at all. It could be seen that the city was not full and it could even be said that there was still a lot of space.
And on the streets, she did not see much of the elderly, women and children, the ratio of population was very similar to that of a normal city. If it was really as the soldier had said, that the Clear Breeze City had always prioritized letting the elderly, women and children into the city, then the number of elderly and children in the Clear Breeze City would be far more than what she saw now.
Moreover, the Poison Men's chaotic war had already lasted for a year and the Clear Breeze City had started taking in refugees more than half a year ago. Based on the rate of three hundred people a day, there would at least be several tens of thousands of people in the city and they would all be of the same type, so it was impossible for such a situation to occur.
"There is something wrong with this city as expected." Jun Wu Xie said as the corners of her mouth curled up into a sneer. She propped up her chin with one hand as she stared at the little black cat sprawled upon the table.
"Mistress." The little black cat said as it licked its paws.
"Hmm?"
"Haven't you noticed that something is missing?" The little black cat asked.
Jun Wu Xie was slightly taken aback and after thinking about it a moment, she shook her head.
The little black cat sat up and looked at Jun Wu Xie as it said calmly: "Ye Sha, Ye Mei, Ye Gu ….."
Only then did Jun Wu Xie remember that she and Jun Wu Yao's speed was extremely fast this time and they had completely forgotten about the three Ye brothers!
"They will find their way here on their own." Jun Wu Xie said, clearing her throat.
The little black cat looked at Jun Wu Xie speechlessly. It wasn't worried about Ye Sha and the others as their powers were there for all to see. But it was more worried about Lord Meh Meh and the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit that Ye Sha and the others were carrying in their arms …..
"It's still early. I'll go check out the situation in the city first." Jun Wu Xie stood up and had wanted to leave immediately, but she still went to greet Jun Wu Yao. Jun Wu Yao had wanted to tag along but Jun Wu Xie used the excuse of staying in the inn to wait for Ye Sha and the others to arrive to detain him.
Jun Wu Yao could only watch mournfully as Jun Xie left on her own.
Till when Ye Sha and the others finally arrived after much difficulty, the sky was already as dark as Jun Wu Yao's face.
Within the Clear Breeze City, it was a scene of peace and tranquility. Jun Wu Xie walked along the streets, looking at the hawkers clamoring, and the relaxed looking citizens. If not for the fact that she knew just how dangerous the situation outside was, just by looking at the faces of the people, she would really think that the world was at peace, and that no disaster had ever happened.
The citizens of the Clear Breeze City seemed to be completely oblivious to the calamity outside as they continued to live their usual leisurely lives. Jun Wu Xie observed them carefully for a moment and it was extremely easy to differentiate the original residents of the Clear Breeze City from the refugees. She only needed to look at the countenance of the people and she would be able to tell a thing or two. The people who had escaped into the city were mostly looking haggard and haggard, completely different from the relaxed demeanour of the original residents of the city.
But when Jun Wu Xie went one round around the city, the number of refugees she saw was not as many as she had imagined, at most a few thousand, completely different from the tens of thousands that she had calculated earlier.
