Chapter 27: Threefold Reflection Alters Heaven and Earth
As the sky grew faintly bright, Li Shun once again stepped into the county yamen study.
Fang Xun’s gaze was as sharp as a ruler, measuring Li Shun’s body inch by inch as it brimmed once more with renewed vitality.
“I didn’t expect it. You actually have quite a fine physique,” a trace of surprise flickered in his eyes.
“It is all thanks to your grace, my lord, that I, Tui Zhi, could undergo such a rebirth,” Li Shun bowed deeply, his face filled with gratitude.
Fang Xun did not respond. After a brief silence, he abruptly changed the subject.
“How many years of life did you borrow?”

“This humble one was fortunate enough to extend his life by fifty-five years.”
“Fifty-five years…” Fang Xun’s expression remained unreadable.
