September.
A Reunion Inn located on the outer ring of Citong welcomed a group of special guests.
The guests were entirely wrapped in white windproof gauze, concealing their faces regardless of gender.
The leader spoke with a clumsy Western accent, seemingly a language from France.
After swiftly checking into the inn, the group started inquiring around about the religious authorities and fleets, as well as tax exemptions.
Such people were common in Citong.
Judging by their appearance, they were religious figures. According to the Great Spirit's law, many religious figures enjoy certain tax exemptions.
The extent of these exemptions depended on the influence and power of their respective sects.
Those with the most exemptions were naturally the Buddhist sects.
Next were the Daoist sects.
However, after the group of white-clothed individuals checked into the inn, another ordinary caravan followed them into the city.
