"We heard that many cultivators have come to the City That Never Sleeps. So we thought we'd try our luck here."
That's what the man said.
"What do you want with cultivators?"
"us……"
At the critical moment, the man shut his mouth.
He can tell them where he came from, but he cannot reveal their purpose for being there.
Although she is a little girl.
But he is also a cultivator.
Suya: When you said you weren't from this world, why weren't you afraid of me?
"We're here to broaden our horizons!"
"Oh, I've learned something new."
"Alright then, the City That Never Sleeps is just through the forest. Remember to enter the city at night. I'm heading back now."
Since she wasn't going to talk about it, Suya decided to just leave.
Why can we only enter the city at night?
Someone asked a question.
"You don't know?"
Suya looked up curiously.
What should we know?
The man looked completely bewildered.
Could it be that there's some information about the City That Never Sleeps that they haven't found out yet?
"None of you know what you're doing in the City That Never Sleeps?"
Suya didn't answer but instead asked a question in return.
Let's see how they respond.
"We really don't know. All we know is that many cultivators have come here, wanting to become our disciples?"
It was the person who kept quiet earlier who came to the rescue.
"oh."
Seeing that they weren't telling the truth, Su Ya didn't want to stay there any longer, so as not to waste her breath.
And she also has to go back and cook for those cultivators.
What kind of fate is this?
How did she become a mother hen?
Suya was extremely depressed.
It's all that old Taoist's fault.
Meanwhile, far away in China, Master Changqing kept sneezing.
He muttered to himself, "Who's insulting me?"
Although her good apprentice only went for a few days, it felt like several years had passed.
I wonder how the apprentice is doing over there.
Western Dynasty.
In the forest.
Suya walked ahead, and the others quietly followed behind.
Suya knew but ignored them.
Those people saw that the little girl didn't object.
So I followed closely behind.
The person who was coiled by the snake had fully recovered from all his injuries along the way.
When we arrived at the city gate of the City That Never Sleeps, it was still not dark.
So, as before, there was no one guarding the city gate.
Suya went straight in.
Those people were also puzzled; this was the first time they had ever seen a city gate without guards.
He then wanted to follow them inside.
At this moment, Suya poked her head out.
"Have you forgotten what I said? The City That Never Sleeps can only be entered at night?"
"Why?"
"Because everyone who came in during the day has gone mad. If you want to know why, go ask them!"
After saying that, Su Ya chuckled and pulled her head back.
Those people could only see Su Ya's figure getting further and further away.
"Mosheng, are you sure we don't want to go in with them?"
"Didn't you hear what that little girl said?"
"Maybe she was just trying to scare us."
That person didn't believe it at all.
"You scared us? Then look over there."
The person who spoke turned his head and saw that there were many people standing there.
So, out of curiosity, he walked over and approached an older woman. "Auntie, why aren't you going into town now?"
The old woman spoke up: "Young man, you're not from around here, are you?"
"Yes, ma'am, we came from elsewhere."
"That's strange. You can't enter this city during the day. Anyone who goes in will get a kind of madness. You can only enter the city at night, but ordinary people have to pay money."
"You still need to pay the money."
"Yes, one tael for entering the city, one tael for leaving the city."
The old woman said to them.
"Thank you, ma'am."
Then leave.
Go back to your own people.
With a somewhat grave expression, he said, "Mo Sheng, anyone who enters the City of Never Sleeps during the day goes crazy. That little girl wasn't lying to us. Entering at night costs an entrance fee of one tael of silver. For all of us, that's about thirty taels of silver. Where are we going to get that money?!"
These people's sects didn't have the foresight of Master Changqing, who prepared silver instead of spirit coins for them. Over the years, they had already spent almost all the money they needed for various purposes here.
"Mosheng, what do you suggest we do? Should we go in or not? It seems we don't need any money to enter the city during the day since there are no guards at the gates."
"Let's go in. I don't believe there's anything crazy going into the city. Someone inside must be up to something. But once we're in the city, we need to stay close to each other and make sure we don't get lost."
"Mosheng, we will all listen to you."
Those people said in unison.
However, he sounded weak and listless.
They haven't had a proper meal in a long time.
I usually only eat until I'm about half full.
So Mo Sheng led the way, bringing his men into the city.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the city gate and walked onto the main street, they saw the little girl from before smiling at them.
"You've been waiting here all this time?"
Mo Sheng stepped forward with delight and asked.
"No, no, I just wanted to see if you had the guts to come in."
"We believe that someone is sabotaging us by going mad as soon as they enter the city, and that they are secretly plotting something."
Mo Sheng explained.
Suya: Not stupid.
Suddenly, a gurgling sound came from inside.
It wasn't just one or two sounds.
It is countless sounds.
These people looked at Su Ya with some embarrassment.
They were so hungry that they dared not light a fire as they crossed the forest, fearing it would attract monsters, and simply endured the hunger.
"Alright, come with me."
Because Suya has more and more people to take care of.
Cooking in a restaurant is very inconvenient.
So she had rented a courtyard in the city that never sleeps.
After following Su Ya through several streets, the group arrived at the gate of a courtyard.
Suya placed the person on the door.
The door opened.
This is the access restriction set for her by those cultivators.
Only she can open it; no one else can.
We entered the courtyard.
"There's a well in the yard and a basin over there. Wash yourselves up. If you need hot water, go to the kitchen and boil it yourself."
"You can always boil water, right?"
Mo Sheng nodded.
They've done a lot of work here. Even if they didn't do anything before, they can't just sit around doing nothing here.
"Then go boil some water, and I'll go get you some food."
Suya didn't want them to know yet that they had come together.
So after returning to the room, I only took out steamed buns.
Fortunately, we were well prepared for this.
We can afford to support so many people.
Moreover, modern steamed buns are big and flashy.
Two are enough for one person to eat to feel full.
Su Ya brought out a bowl of steamed buns from the house and saw that someone was already washing up.
Those at the front of the line were all women.
They all seem to be quite gentlemanly.
"You can heat these steamed buns yourselves up."
Mo Sheng took it.
"Thanks."
The water over there had just boiled.
They found a steamer basket, placed the steamed buns on it, and then put the lid on the pot.
How long have you been here?
"It's been almost four years."
Four years?
