Shu Yu and a few others arrived at the bamboo forest halfway up the mountain, yet someone still stopped them.
However, perhaps because the black market had nearly relocated, only two people were guarding the houses halfway up the mountain.
Knowing Meng Yunzheng's background, the two exchanged glances. One stayed put, while the other nodded to Shu Yu and the others, "Please follow me."
As they walked past a somewhat familiar stretch of road, both Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng instinctively began inspecting the surrounding environment.
Over the past few months, the black market ceased its transactions, and no one managed it. As a result, it appeared significantly more desolate.
There were still some wheel tracks on the ground, likely left during the transport of goods.
They quickly arrived at the entrance of the manor, which seemed even more deserted compared to last time.
Inside the manor, a few servants moved around, almost silently.
