Yang Rui noticed everyone's strangeness, but didn't care at all. He still smiled gently and took the initiative to chat with everyone. Most of the topics revolved around the customs and scenery of the ancient town. His words were full of love for this ancient town. He did not mention any sensitive topics, nor did he inquire about anyone's details. He seemed magnanimous and calm.

Hu Jiulang put down his teacup, looked at Yang Rui calmly, and said softly:

"Mayor Yang, we see a lot of people on the street, and they all seem to admire you. It's amazing that you can manage this ancient town in such an orderly manner."

He deliberately praised Yang Rui, wanting to relax his vigilance and look for opportunities to test him.

Yang Rui smiled and said in a humble tone:

"Thank you, I just did what I should do. The reason why this ancient town is so peaceful is not my fault alone, it is the result of the joint efforts of all the people living here. I just tried my best to create a stable and peaceful living environment for everyone."

His words were humble and sincere, and there was no pride or conceit in his eyes, as if he was really just a mayor who was dedicated to the people.

But the more this happens, the more doubtful everyone becomes. How can an ordinary mortal manage a secret ancient town that hides many superpowers?How could it be possible for these rebellious superpowers to obey his management so willingly?

Yang Shuyuan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said in a calm tone:

"It's really rare for Mayor Yang to have such broad-mindedness and ability at such a young age. I just don't know how long Mayor Yang has lived here? How long has this ancient town existed?"

When Yang Rui heard this, a faint trace of recollection flashed in his eyes, and he said in a gentle tone:

"I have lived here for many years and grew up here since I was a child. This ancient town has existed for hundreds of years and has always been isolated from the world. Very few outsiders come. It was only in recent years that some people accidentally wandered here and voluntarily stayed and settled."

"Hundreds of years?"

Everyone was shocked. This ancient town has existed for hundreds of years and has been isolated from the world. This is really weird.

A trace of vigilance flashed in Hu Jiulang's eyes, and he asked softly:

"Mayor Yang looks very young. I didn't expect that he has lived here for so many years. It's really admirable. I just don't know, will Mayor Yang live a long life this year?"

Yang Rui smiled and said calmly:

"I am twenty-six this year, Gao Shou is joking."

Leng Xin finally couldn't help but said:

"Mayor Yang, I want to ask you a question. Have you ever seen a man named Lu Ming? He is also a superpower and disappeared not long ago. I suspect he is here too."

She went straight to the point without any extra testing, hoping to find traces of Lu Ming from Yang Rui's reaction.

Hearing the word "Lu Ming", Yang Rui's eyes flashed with a trace of something strange, so fast that it was almost undetectable. Then he regained his composure and said in a gentle tone:

"I have no impression of what the girl said about Lu Ming. I know everyone in our ancient town, and there is no one named Lu Ming. Maybe he did not stray into our secret realm."

Leng Xin stared closely at Yang Rui's eyes, trying to find any flaw in his eyes, but Yang Rui's eyes were clear and calm, without any panic or concealment, as if he had never seen Lu Ming before.

Leng Xin felt even more disappointed, but she refused to give up. She always felt that Yang Rui was lying. Lu Ming must be here, but he was hiding him.
