Chen Xiaofei nodded. That made sense. No wonder he had never heard of this sect before; it turned out to be a rising star.
"Did the local officials in Ganzhou really not bother to investigate whether these rumors were true or false?" Chen Xiaofei asked again, his face full of doubt. According to common sense, with such a sensational rumor causing an uproar throughout the city, the authorities ought to step in and verify the truth of the matter!
The innkeeper burst into laughter upon hearing this and said, "Why would the officials bother to investigate? This isn't some terrifying natural disaster; what leisure would they have to meddle in such business? Besides, those who died are merely martial artists, not ordinary folk like us. In their eyes, it's naturally treated as internal martial world affairs, which just leaves them free of trouble! Forget about martial artists losing their lives; even if ordinary people like us met with misfortune, they probably wouldn't care to get involved unless someone filed a report with the yamen, wouldn't you say?"
