Chapter 375 Polar Region 6
Having gone through so much, Cheng Jiu and the other two had no concept of time.
It has no idea how long they stayed in the polar region.
Time always feels both incredibly long and incredibly short.
But the wind and snow from the outer polar regions were much warmer than when they entered the polar regions.
The warm season is coming!
Upon entering Dingming City, Cheng Jiu and his companions felt a sense of loss, yet the familiar warmth and human connection still offered comfort.
"Senior sister, do you feel like they're watching us?" Wen Sishu felt a little uncomfortable. They hadn't done anything, they were just walking on the street, but why did they feel like they were being seen through?
That look was too presumptuous, a look of surprise and uncertainty. It felt like they were astonished that they were still alive!
"Hmm!" Yingyue was also quite uncomfortable. She had been locked up for a month and had been subjected to countless, even malicious, trials, including by the naive Yako.
Yingyue was quite sensitive to these gazes, quite uncomfortable with them, and even somewhat stressed.
"I'll go ask!" Cheng Jiu randomly grabbed an unlucky guy on the roadside; he was the one who hadn't been able to keep his eyes open earlier.
Before Cheng Jiu could even ask, the unlucky guy was already trembling: "I don't know, I don't know anything!"
After saying that, his eyes rolled back and he was about to faint. Cheng Jiu released him, and the unlucky guy scrambled away.
Cheng Jiu didn't dwell on it, but watched him flee in a strange manner.
Cheng Jiu and the other two knew that they were somewhat famous in Dingming City, not to mention their reputation as alchemy masters.
Because of the Qi family alone, no powerful force in Dingming City, big or small, is unfamiliar with them.
So, what happened?
It feels like I haven't been away for very long, yet the world has changed so much.
Unable to get any information, Cheng Jiu and his two companions didn't intend to continue. They saw that the people around them were just as plain and unassuming as the unlucky guy, and they couldn't get any information out of them.
Cheng Jiu and his two companions chose the same inn they had visited when they first arrived in Dingming City.
The shopkeeper greeted the familiar major client with a broad smile.
Everything was normal here. After checking in, Cheng Jiu and his two companions grabbed the innkeeper.
The innkeeper must be quite capable to be able to run an inn in Dingming City; asking him is the most appropriate thing to do!
"What happened? Why are they all looking at us like that?" Cheng Jiu asked, pulling someone aside.
Yingyue and Wensi nodded in agreement.
"Unbeknownst to the immortals, a month ago, a white light shot into the sky from the polar region, which was seen even from afar by our Dingming City."
The polar regions are more dangerous than in previous years; the picking team that Wang Sanye and Chang Erye set off together has gone missing.
It's truly admirable that these three young heroes were able to safely escape from the polar regions.
To put it bluntly, given the commotion caused in the polar regions, neither the innkeeper nor the original inhabitants of Dingming City ever imagined that anyone could actually emerge alive from the polar regions.
They knew firsthand how dangerous the polar regions were from a young age. You could say that even those in the Tribulation Transcending stage would face a perilous situation.
The phrase "ten deaths and one life" can be considered a compliment to the polar regions.
This time it was even more dangerous than in previous years. With past examples to learn from, it's amazing that some people still came back alive, including the three alchemists who made a name for themselves in Dingming City.
How to avoid attracting attention?
Every native of Dingming City wants to take a second look!
They must have found a lot of treasures to have made it out of such a dangerous place!
They're not just curious, they're also very interested!
They simply refrained from taking action due to their identities.
If it were anyone else, they would probably have been approached by auction house people as soon as they returned to the city.
