After hearing this, Shen Yan and the others roughly understood. From what the housekeeper said, this tree was probably just an ordinary tree, not as magical as the people said.
The old butler continued, "There was a famine here a few years ago. The city lord was not the lord of the city, but just a merchant."
"He couldn't bear to see the people here starve to death, so he took out all his property, bought food for everyone, and placed it around the sacred tree. As a result, the people all thought that it was the sacred tree that sent food down from heaven and saved their lives."
At this point, the old housekeeper sighed, and Shen Yan also found it a little unbelievable. They thought that the city lord was an unforgivable bad guy, but they didn't expect that he could be so kind at times.
Shen Yan and Chen Feixu looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
"Then what? Those people didn't know all this time that it was the city lord who made the contribution for them?" Shen Yan asked.
The old housekeeper shook his head and said, "Why would you keep asking about something you don't want to know?"
"Everyone had already believed that it was the sacred tree that gave them the food, so they naturally had no other ideas. They just went there every day to get enough food, and when they didn't have enough, they came back to get more. That's how they survived the famine."

"However, the city lord doesn't care too much about these material possessions. If they are distributed, they are distributed. It is only a matter of time for him to earn them back with his pure intelligence and wisdom."
The old butler spoke of the city lord's talent with a tone of great admiration, looking just like a fanboy.
"Later, the city lord and the late emperor accomplished great things together, and he was named a king of a different surname and granted a fiefdom, which was this place. After coming here, the city lord was very surprised. Isn't this really fate?"
Chen Yan and the others felt sincerely when they heard about this coincidence. It was really too much of a coincidence. It just so happened that he helped the residents of this area, and his own fiefdom happened to be these pieces of land.
If the city lord had not saved the people of this fiefdom before, this place would have been in dire straits now, with people dying and no one left to govern.
But Chen Yan and the others still didn't quite understand one thing. This sacred tree was actually the spiritual pillar of those people. So why did the city lord want to lock it up?
