Bab 199: Revelation

By noon, Chu Li was back in the Public House.

He returned to the Thousand Herb Garden. Once he caught a whiff of the aura from the Glory's Will, the extreme fatigue he had earlier dissipated almost instantly. He now felt relaxed and rejuvenated.

Chu Li went into the house and changed his clothes. Xue Ling then gently knocked on his door and brought in a basin of warm water for him to wash his face.

After he rubbed his face dry, he went to the living room and sat on his armchair. Xue Ling served him some tea. She stood beside him as she stared at Chu Li with her clear eyes.

Chu Li took a glance at his clothes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Master, you've lost some weight," Xue Ling replied.

Chu Li laughed. "I've only been out for a few days, and I've lost weight already? But you may be right, the food in the Imperial Court and in the restaurants there were not as good as the ones that you cook. They did not appeal to my appetite."
