Chapter 100: Chapter 100: They All Have a Notable Background? Chapter 100: Chapter 100: They All Have a Notable Background? “No matter what, I won’t be going back now. What if I get the disease, too? If I go back, won’t I be harming the villagers?” She looked at Ya Molian, her face serious as she spoke.
“You should not have come!”
“You, you, really…stubborn!” Ya Molian was at a loss with her.
What else could he do? Stuck with her, prolonging the wait in Hongling Town, which was indeed a bit of trouble.
“What do you want to do next? Tell me, I’m with you.”
With him by her side, those who had it in for Lin Caisang should now be nowhere to be found. At least, a situation like the previous one should not occur again.
On hearing his words, Lin Caisang’s faces brightened up.
She had witnessed Ya Molian’s power earlier, he knocked down the masked men in a few blows. With him around, she wouldn’t need to be afraid anymore.
Ya Molian glared at her unhappily.
“Brother Molian, you are so good. With you here, I can work without fear.” Lin Caisang, genuinely happy, also did not forget to tease Ya Molian and placate him. Her safety in Hongling Town was all dependent on Ya Molian now.
“Whether I’m good or not, it’s enough for me to know. No need for you to flatter me!” Ya Molian retorted.
Lin Caisang rubbed her hands together, laughing awkwardly.
“By the way, Brother Molian, how did you know I was here? Even managed to find your way, it’s quite something, isn’t it?”
She was startled when she saw him earlier, she really couldn’t understand how he got here. Did he grow wings and fly over? Or is he so prophetic that he figured out she would be here?
“Changhong told me you went out of town to gather medicinal herbs,” Ya Molian simply said.
Lin Caisang immediately understood, with Ya Molian’s abilities, how could he not know how many herbs were there in the mountains. Her stories could only fool her grandparents at best.
Speaking of which, what’s the matter with her elder brother? Why is he always setting her up? When she gets back, she should give him a talking-to!
“Come over here, let me tell you something about Hongling Town.”
Ya Molian gestured her over, entering the room prepared for Lin Caisang.
Lin Caisang had no choice but to follow him in, thinking to herself, does this Hongling Town have a hidden significance that she was not aware of?
“So, all the wealthy households in Hongling Town have some backing?”
After a while, Lin Caisang who had half eaten her bun, stared at Ya Molian in surprise. He had finished all the two buns that she had given him without any reservations.
According to Ya Molian, there were dark forces at work in Hongling Town. Moreover, the wealthy landlords were all somehow associated with these nefarious elements?
“Hongling Town, about a dozen years ago, was about the same as Yueya Town. It only started to prosper over these past dozen years or so. But really, it was only a few households that got rich while most villagers remained poor and could barely feed and clothe themselves.”
Ya Molian looked at her, pronouncing each word clearly.
“The current scale of Hongling Town is comparable to that of Qianlin County, which drew the attention of the magistrate. He had previously sent people to secretly investigate it, in order to find some peculiarities about Hongling Town.”
It was absolutely normal for a town to become prosperous. However, the sudden prosperity of Hongling Town was indeed peculiar. The townsfolk didn’t have any special livelihood or resources, so where did the money that they were spending come from? Did it fall from the sky?
