Chapter 1010: Chapter 1010: Who Are You?

Su Yu replied very decisively: "No."

Han Jing...

So, there are no special festivals, which means there must be something happening here, and it seems like a serious matter.

"Why not go in and ask? Just waiting around to figure it out isn’t a solution," Lan Ling suggested.

Han Jing looked at Su Yu.

Su Yu nodded: "Let’s go."

Lan Ling stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a good while, someone came to open it, cautiously glanced at Han Jing and the others, and then peeked at the nearly empty street before whispering: "Come in first."

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man, slightly overweight, who looked more like the innkeeper than a servant.

This puzzled Han Jing and the others even more; why isn’t the shop doing business, and why are there no staff?

Inside the hall, the man turned back and asked, "What are you here for? With the current situation, who dares open for business? I’m just afraid that if you linger too long in front of my door, someone might see and cause trouble for me. If you have no business here, I’ll lead you to the back door, and you can leave on your own. Don’t wander the streets unless necessary; be careful not to invite disaster."

The group...

The weather is clear, the sun is perfect, and in this paradise-like place, inviting disaster? What’s going on here?

So there’s definitely a problem.

Since they know something is amiss, Han Jing and the others have come all this way and are surely going to ask for clarification.

Han Jing glanced at the group, stepped forward, and tentatively asked: "Uncle, it’s like this, we... came from another island looking for someone, is there something wrong on this island?"

The middle-aged man had been focused on urging Han Jing and others to leave and didn’t pay attention to who they were. With Han Jing’s question, he seriously looked at them, and upon doing so, his expression changed drastically: "You, where are you from?"

"Uncle, don’t be nervous. We’re just here to find someone, not to cause trouble. Could you tell us if something happened here? We mean no harm and don’t want to cause trouble. So we hope you can help explain things to ensure we don’t accidentally offend someone and get into trouble," Han Jing softened his voice, trying to appear as gentle as possible.

But the uncle stared at Su Yu for a while, then his gaze shifted to Xiao Xue, who was being held by Lianwu. Lianwu instinctively reached out to shield Xiao Xue’s face.

"No way, who are you to the Island Master?" The uncle clearly started to be on guard, his voice trembling slightly with complex emotions, like fear, reverence, and a hint of... anticipation?

The uncle clearly saw Su Yu’s eyes, which prompted him to say such things, proving that this island indeed has connections to the Xia Clan.

Because Han Jing and the others had heard Xia Qingcheng mention that in the Xia Clan, direct lineage usually had green-colored irises, whether deep or shallow, with or without blood relations, it was the same—and thus, green eyes are a very basic standard for identifying the Xia Clan, with almost no exceptions.

So clearly, the uncle recognized Su Yu’s unique eyes, confirming that there is indeed a connection to the Xia Clan here.
