"Forget it, let's go as well."
Steward Cheng spoke again:
"You should rest well tonight, for tomorrow you will need to continuously refine three batches of Elixir Furnace Medicine, which is quite draining."
"Hmm..." Lin Jing nodded and responded with a hum.
Afterward, the two left together.
Back at his small courtyard...
Lin Jing sat down to meditate and cultivate as usual.
He practiced continuously until the afternoon, when he was awakened by a series of knocks on the door.
Lin Jing got up and went outside.
When he opened the courtyard door, he found Huang Qingling standing at the entrance, accompanied by Li Tangyu and Li Qingqing.
"You didn't tell me about the assessment, why not?"
As soon as the door was open, Huang Qingling spoke with urgency.
"Qing Ling Daoyou, come in and let's talk..."
Lin Jing said to Qing Ling.
"Brother Li..."
"Daoyou Qingqing, please come inside..."
Huang Qingling understood that the doorway was not a place to talk and walked into the yard.
