Lin Jing took a special look, noting that the Fang Market had expanded significantly compared to when he had left.

It was at least five times larger than before.

However, the market was now incredibly deserted, with not a single person in sight; even the shops on the street had their doors firmly shut, a stark contrast to the past.

After returning to Li Yan City, the group headed straight for the City Lord's Mansion's council hall.

Upon taking their seats, Lin Jing immediately asked,

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Yue Qi then stood up and said,

"Island Master..."

"Actually, this matter goes back to the Fang Market of Li Yan..."

"Before your disappearance, Island Master, hadn't we already planned the expansion of the market?"

Lin Jing nodded and said,

"Yes..."

"The previous Fang Market was indeed too crowded, and without expansion, it would have impacted future development negatively."
