Li Si sighed. With a heavy heart, he, Bai Qi, and Zhang Gan left the main hall. Just as they reached the entrance, they saw three figures.
Standing in the middle was a gaunt figure, flanked by Zhao Yun and Jia Xu!

Dressed in tattered clothes, his muscles were sunken, leaving him looking like mere skin and bones—a beggar. If not for Zhao Yun and Jia Xu flanking him, Li Si truly wouldn't have recognized him.
"It's me." Qin Wudao's voice was deep. "Take me to see Father Emperor at once! I've successfully refined the Holy Embryo Pill!"
After refining the pill, he hadn't even rested before rushing to the City Lord's Mansion.
