Sikong Jian stood at the entrance of the Pu Courtyard, looking at Gongliang Liao and Liu Ji, the master and apprentice pair, with their calm demeanor. He thought his eyes must be deceiving him to see Liu Ji covered in injuries.
Fortunately, beside him were Anzi and the Divine Doctor, whose reactions confirmed that they too saw Liu Ji was severely injured.
They were all amazed at how he could still stand and direct people to cook.
Once Liu Ji prepared the meal and brought it to Gongliang Liao, Sikong Jian immediately signaled the Divine Doctor to inspect his injuries.
Liu Ji did not refuse, sitting calmly, offering his left hand for pulse diagnosis while directing Anzi to feed him with his right hand—after all, he hadn't eaten since leaving early in the morning.
The room was filled with the aroma of food: crispy little fish, stir-fried with green peppers, fresh and spicy, mixed into thick white porridge, with a few drops of soy sauce, making it incredibly appetizing.
