He knew everything else, but this one question had always puzzled him.
'Since people can accidentally wander into the Refuge, have the people here really never tried to explore the outside world?'
When Shen Bai asked the question, Guo Qi was quick to reply.
"Brother Shen, to be perfectly honest, Flower Village once sent people out of the Refuge. But it wasn't long before they came back, grievously wounded."
"Why were they so badly hurt?" Shen Bai frowned, puzzled.
Guo Qi gave a bitter smile and slapped his forehead. "The reason is simple. They all carry the lingering aura of the Era of Ten Thousand Cities. On top of that, they're relics of a bygone age. After they went out, they were somehow discovered by the ones pulling the strings and nearly died out there."
"When you say 'the ones pulling the strings,' you mean the Chaotic Organization, right?" Shen Bai asked, his eyes narrowing slightly.
