Hovering in the air, completely invisible to other, Shen Yu looked at the carriage entering the deepest part of the manor where it finally stopped.
He smiled as he guessed that this was the ho of Qing Zhiyan. He wanted to visit her, especially since he also needed to talk to her mother. But he restrained himself.
After all, Qing Zhiyan also needed so ti to talk to her mother and tell her everything.
[Master, you're just hoping that she says so good things about you to her mother, right?]
'Well, yeah. She is the empress, after all so gaining her trust would be quite tough otherwise. I just hope Zhiyan manages to lower her guard. I'll see the things after that.'

[Master really is a pervert. You want a oyakadon, right?]
Shen Yu shrugged, "Well, yeah. That's literally the dream of so many man. Beside, you know my policy. I'm mainly doing this for her safety too. If she says no, then I'll give her safety anyways."
[I really don't know what to say. Anyways, ignoring that, why don't you explore the city? You haven't really had a proper rest and chance to explore the world, have you?]
With narrowed eyes, Shen Yu asked, as he could sense sothing amiss in the system's voice, "Why are suggesting out of nowhere?"
[*Cough* I just detected a plot opportunity.]
Shen Yu rolled his eyes but still considered the suggestion. It was a good idea as he never really explored the world properly. The world of Xianxia was so beautiful and exploring it was one of his wishes.
But from the ti he transmigrated, he didn't get the ti to take proper rest and explore the world. Most of the ti, he was busy with his wives and although he enjoyed their company a lot, he also felt that he should explore the world.
After all, with his powers he might as well beco God one day and he certainly didn't want to loose humanity.
Thinking of all this, he decided to have a stroll in the capital.
Then, He looked at Qing Zhiyan who had gotten off her carriage and sent her a voice transmission, 'I will be out for a while so you can have a nice talk with your mother. Okay?'
Qing Zhiyan smiled and nodded.
After that, Shen Yu left the Imperial Palace and went towards the main capital city. There was also another reason he wanted to go to the main city.
He wanted to see how the rumours of Shadow organisation had been spreading. Judging from the Emperor's reaction, he had obviously got so clues.
Now, Shen Yu just wanted to see how much the local powerhouses knew about it. It was an important task.
He landed in a narrow ally and changed his appearance and clothes. Appearance wise, he didn't look much different than before but there was sothing in it, that made it seems so ordinary.
After checking his appearance one more ti, Shen Yu walked outside the Ally and began to check around.
The noises of people, the shouting of vendors, the sll of street food...
Shen Yu felt like he was back to earth, as the people here were also concealing their Cultivation so everything seed so normal. Of course, there were many mortal but it was the capital city, so there was no doubt there were so hidden dragons.
He looked around and smiled.
'As always, the slum area is always like this. But this is also the best, haha.'
Without even him realising, his mood had improved a lot and he had a blissful smile on his face as he went around the market, tasting the local street delicacy and enjoying the conversation with the people.
They were poor and it was clear from the way of their living, and it wasn't really a surprise. This was the capital city so even if they earned a good sum, it would barely suffice them.
Shen Yu could only sigh to that. This was the sa, if not worse, situation he was in back on Earth. The sll of poverty was so familiar to him that unknowingly, tears ford in his heart.
Just then, a boy of around ten years old ran away from him. He shook his head but didn't do anything as he felt his purse getting stolen.
The boy bad reminded him of his past self. He was the sa at one point, pickpocketing despite knowing the risk. He was caught a few tis and recieved a heavy beating.
But there was nothing he could do. He was just a kid and what could a small boy do after thrown away to face the cruel world.
So, he just let the boy go. Atleast, he would eat a few days with that amount. But then he thought of sothing and sighed.
'Keep it safe, boy. Although it wasn't a huge amount, if your peers got to know about it, you'll die.'
This was his sincere advice and he made sure to transfer it to the boy.
The black headed boy stopped in his tracks and turned around. His eyes shone with a strange light that made Shen Yu shudder from inside.
He clutched his chest and gulped.
'Ah! Those eyes are dangerous.'
"Did that boy steal your pocket, young man?"
A hoarse voice sounded beside him, waking him up from his thoughts.
He turned around to look at the old man, sitting on the corner of the road. He had a table placed in front of him and many accessories were on it for sell. His clothes matched the slums, making his old body seed even more old.
But there was a wise aura around him, speaking of his harsh life.
Shen Yu smiled and crouched near his empty stall.
"Yes. Why do you ask, old man?"
The old man shook his head and fiddled around his shirt's pocket. As if finally finding sothing, he took it out and streched his wrinkled, thin arm that trembled with each movent.
He took Shen Yu's hand and placed the item he has taken out previously on his palm. He patted his hand and said.
"I ask you to not go after him. You can consider it as this old man's last request."
