Several months had already passed since Li Si arrived in Xianyang!
Over in Han State, Han Fei had also returned to Xinzheng, where he met Wei Zhuang, Zi Nu, and Zhang Liang. With his own wisdom, he successfully solved the military payroll case and obtained the post of Commandant of Justice he had always wanted!

Li Si had spent several months deeply tilling these dozen or so mu of land, planting all the seeds Qing Mo had given him. The crops were growing well and were nearly ready for harvest!
Dressed in coarse cloth, Li Si stood barefoot by the field, raising a hand to gently wipe away the sweat on his forehead!
His complexion was noticeably darker than when he had first arrived in Xianyang, and his entire body looked much sturdier!
Looking at the dozen or so mu of land he had cultivated, where the crops were nearly ripe, Li Si could not help feeling a sense of accomplishment!
Just as Li Si was still wondering whether the person he wished to meet would truly agree to see him!
Qing Mo, still dressed in an ink-wash robe and as handsome as ever, approached with the fiery, alluring Jing Ni behind him!
Ying Zheng, dressed in a black robe and radiating natural authority, also came with the future Sword Saint Gai Nie following behind him!

"The crops on those dozen or so mu are growing well. It is clear he has indeed been diligent and earnest!"
