Chen Yi declined the Marquis Mansion servants' offer to prepare a carriage and proceeded to leave the mansion, looking out over the rain-soaked Fengtong Street.
The streets weren't very crowded at the moment, perhaps due to the rain, with few people entering or leaving the shops lining the road.
Moreover, the residents of this street were either wealthy or noble, and the Black Armor Guard patrolled every corner and alley, making it hard for common folks and outsiders from the Kyoto Prefecture to come and go, which made this street all the more quiet.
Chen Yi glanced around briefly, then, holding an oiled paper umbrella, vanished into the rain, heading south along Fengtong Street.
The continuous drizzle meant that passersby who noticed him would often give him a second glance.
They didn't recognize Chen Yi's identity; they were simply captivated by the sight of a handsome young man holding an oiled paper umbrella.
