That night, after Xue Yao and her group of eight returned to the inn, each of them chose a different way to rest according to their own habits.

Some, tired from the journey, chose to have a good night's sleep to fully relax their bodies, while others took advantage of the quiet night to practice and improve their strength.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the windows into the room, illuminating everyone's face. Everyone sat together and began to discuss their next plan of action.

"As usual, we'll act separately." Xue Yao said straight to the point.

This decision was not made on a whim, but a tacit understanding formed during their journey. Every time they arrived at a large city, they would split into several groups, each of which would explore the surrounding environment, understand the living conditions of the local people, and try their best to provide them with help.

Although they cannot give their all like they did in Liancheng, they will try their best to do what they can.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and they had no objection to Xue Yao's arrangement.

Xue Yao stood up, a gentle smile on her face, and glanced at everyone present.

She reminded them, "Everyone should remain cautious as usual. Be mindful of restraining your aura and refrain from using spiritual power to avoid disturbing mortals."

This time she wanted everyone to be responsible for a specific area, to observe and understand the situation quietly, and then make appropriate decisions.

She turned her gaze to Qingyi, who was sitting beside her, and softly instructed, "Qingyi, you will be in charge of the eastern part of the city. Look at the market prices and the living conditions of the people, and pay special attention to any abnormalities."

Qing Yi nodded slightly and agreed: "Okay."

He knows the importance of this work and understands the heavy responsibility he shoulders.

Then, Xue Yao shifted her gaze to Xue Yu and said slowly, "Xue Yu, you will be in charge of the slums in the west of the city. That's where the city needs help the most. Bring some of the herbs and food we've prepared and distribute them to those in need."

Xue Yu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I will do a good job on this matter."

In a moment, Xueyao's gaze fell on Renhu again.

She continued to arrange tasks, "Renhu, you are responsible for the south part of the city..."

Then, Xue Yao divided the areas that Xiao Lin'er, Yun Duoduo, Su Xin, Bao Ling and others were responsible for. They took responsibility for the southeast corner, northeast corner, southwest corner and northwest corner respectively.

Xue Yao herself is not only responsible for the affairs of the north city, but also has to take charge of the overall situation.

Finally, she did not forget to remind everyone that the children's learning situation in the school and other difficult problems encountered by ordinary people should not be taken lightly.

Everyone agreed in unison, and then left the inn together, heading towards their respective destinations.

It was a sunny day. Xue Yao and her group, dressed in local costumes, traveled around the city. They either went deep into the downtown streets or explored the poor and remote alleys. They were all busy but closely connected.

Although the actions are scattered, everyone's deep-seated goal remains the same: to help the people here and make their lives better.

As night fell quietly, the stars twinkled in the sky. Like weary birds returning to their nests, everyone gathered at the inn again, sitting around the table and sharing what they had seen and heard during the day.

Qing Yi was the first to break the silence. His gaze was sharp and his tone was serious. He said, "The market in the east of the city seems to be bustling and prosperous, and the prices are relatively reasonable. However, I accidentally noticed that some vendors were secretly selling a certain item. This matter is very serious, and I think we need to investigate thoroughly."

Renhu spoke next, a gentle smile on his face and a voice filled with joy. "The children in Chengnan Academy are all very cute. I told them a few stories, and they all listened very attentively. Unfortunately, the number of students in the academy is far less than that of Liancheng Academy."

Xue Yu's expression was slightly heavy. She sighed softly, filled with emotion. "The situation in the slums west of the city is truly grim. Many people are living in dire straits. I distributed the herbs and food I brought with me to them, but it can only provide them with temporary relief."

The Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each displaying their magical powers. Each person recounted what he had seen and heard in a long and eloquent manner.

The content not only includes the details of people's lives, daily trivialities such as food, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, but also involves the specific situation of the government and officials and their governance methods.

Xueyao listened quietly, sometimes lost in thought, sometimes with a slight frown. After traveling so many places, she had gradually come to understand one fact.

Behind the prosperity, there are always some unknown dark sides, and these dark sides are often the key factors affecting people's lives.

She stood up and slowly walked to the window, gazing out at the night. Her eyes were firm and deep, as if she wanted to see through the darkness to the truth hidden within.

After a moment's silence, she said in a deep voice, "It seems this city is no exception. It's not as glamorous as it appears on the surface. We need to work harder and dig deeper to find the problems hidden behind them that are closely related to the people."

"That's right!" Su Xin immediately agreed. "Only by finding the root causes of the problems affecting people's lives can we find the right remedies and effectively help them improve their living conditions and lead a better life."

The others nodded in agreement and quickly took action, splitting up to start a new round of efforts.

They are fully aware of the arduous task, but are full of confidence and a sense of mission, because their goal is to do their utmost to seek the well-being of the people.

In the next few days, Xue Yao and her team went deep into every corner of the city, interacting cordially with the residents in order to gain a deeper understanding of their real daily living conditions.

After some diligent exploration, everyone was surprised to find that behind this seemingly prosperous and bustling city, there were actually many difficult problems hidden.

Changing these situations won't happen overnight, but they have their own solutions.

Xue Yao wasn't surprised. "Everyone has worked hard. The information we've collected is very important. Next, let's solve practical problems one by one. It's always good to do something for the people here."

After a brief pause, she turned to look at Qingyi and continued, "The items you mentioned do need to be investigated. See where they came from and whether they can cause harm to the people. Xiaolin'er, please cooperate with Qingyi." The latter words were said to Qingyi.

Upon hearing this, Qing Yi nodded and responded, "No problem."

Xiao Lin'er also nodded obediently.

Xue Yao turned her gaze to the others and spoke in a steady voice, "Xue Yu, Su Xin, tomorrow you two will go to the west of the city and check on the people there. Anyone who is sick must be treated with all your strength. Ren Hu, Yun Duo Duo, you will be in charge of the beggars in the city and help them recover from their illnesses as well."

After hearing Xue Yao's arrangements, everyone nodded, indicating that there was no problem at all, and promised to do their best to complete the task.

Xueyao knew clearly that these were the only things she could do for now. As for other aspects, she needed to think carefully and find a suitable entry point before taking further action.
