Afterward, Little Sparrow actually nodded its head.
Little Sparrow could understand human speech, Lin Jing knew.
But what he had just said was rather complex; whether Little Sparrow truly comprehended Lin Jing’s meaning was something he wasn’t sure of.
Next, Lin Jing didn’t trouble it further and let it eat.
Despite its small size, Little Sparrow ate with astonishing speed.
In no time at all, Little Sparrow had finished eating and then followed Huang Qingling away.
After Huang Qingling left, Lin Jing waited a while longer before he set out again.
As soon as the tide of Demonic Beasts had ended, the Inner Fang Market’s grand formation had been shut down.
The announcements previously released by the marketplace had also been long canceled.
Now, just like before, those from the outer marketplace could freely enter and leave the Inner Fang Market.
However, there were still not many people remaining within the Inner Fang Market at this time.
Having exited the Inner Fang Market, Lin Jing walked toward the edge of the marketplace.
Before long, he arrived at Shiyu Lane, the very place where he had agreed to meet Wei Zhengqing for the first time when he entered the black market.
However, it had been a long time since he last visited, and the alley had undergone significant changes, almost making Lin Jing think he had taken a wrong turn.
The alley no longer bore its previous shattered appearance.
Row upon row of courtyards were neatly arranged; if one looked closely, it wasn’t difficult to discover that these courtyards must have been recently renovated.
There were even several households where lights shone from within, making it clear that people were living there.
Lin Jing took a few more steps inside and only then saw that the courtyard where the Teleportation Array used to be had also been renovated and that a faint light was visible from inside.
It seemed that the entrance here had been abandoned; otherwise, it shouldn’t be inhabited.
Lin Jing shook his head, feeling helpless, and then turned around to leave.
Next, he returned to Shengyuan Gambling House and knocked on the door.
Just like before, a man answered the door and let him in.
The gambling house was as bustling and brightly lit as always, with the Cultivators inside indulging themselves just as mortals would.
The only difference was that while mortals gambled with gold and silver, Cultivators gambled with Spirit Stones.
Lin Jing passed through the gambling house and exited through the back door, where he saw Yuebaolou, adorned with large red lanterns.
Yuebaolou was also the same as before, unchanged, except that its entrance was obscured by curtains, hiding the scene within.
Lin Jing walked forward until he arrived next to the narrow path leading to the Teleportation Array and stepped onto it.
After walkinz for a while, he reached a small bamboo zrove; the zrass around it
was overgrown and had turned yellow, and even inside the bamboo grove, the ground was fully covered in fallen leaves.
It looked as though no one had been there for quite some time.
But this place had always been like this, rarely visited by anyone, so Lin Jing didn’t pay it much mind.
He walked in and swept aside the accumulated leaves on the ground, but failed to find the Formation.
Looking down carefully, he could still see traces where the Formation once was on the ground, though they had grown somewhat indistinct. It seemed that this Formation had been dismantled some time ago.
“This is already the second one…”
Lin Jing frowned and walked back outside.
Having not visited the black market for a long time, Lin Jing was unaware of the recent events there.
And he didn’t know why, but the Teleportation Arrays leading into the black market seemed to have all been dismantled.
“Lin Daoyou!”
Just as Lin Jing stepped out of the small path, a person came walking toward him and called out to stop him.
