Chapter 25 - 23: Meeting Li Yun
After lunch, it was already afternoon. Ye Chen left his parents’ courtyard and the mansion, intending to visit Huichun Hall.
Four months had passed, but it was unclear whether the Hundred Herbs Liquid had been sold.
Ye Chen walked into the deserted alley and again donned his pitch-black robe before entering Huichun Hall.
It was still midday, and there were no customers in Huichun Hall. Although the rare quiet was welcome, Doctor Xiao felt a twinge of helpless disappointment.
The last time, that mysterious person in a black robe had said he would return in three days, but he hadn’t shown up as promised. Instead, Master Li Yun had made a special trip and even stayed for an entire day.
The purpose was to wait for that mysterious person in the black robe.
Unfortunately, the appointed time had silently passed by, yet the hoped-for arrival of the black-robed person did not occur, leaving both Doctor Xiao and Master Li Yun deeply disappointed.
Doctor Xiao’s disappointment lay in the fact that if the black-robed person did not come, Master Li Yun’s promise would have no chance of being fulfilled.
Master Li Yun’s disappointment stemmed from regret at not being able to catch a glimpse of the mysterious man in black. He wanted to know who this extraordinary figure was, especially after seeing the results of the Healing Liquid and the pills manufactured from the list provided, his hopes were even more urgent.
However, both men were merely slightly disappointed and had not given up, assuming that the black-robed man might have been delayed by some important matters and that this was the reason for his absence.
In the days that followed, Master Li Yun showed up several times, and Doctor Xiao likewise eagerly anticipated the arrival of the mysterious black-robed person.
