In the midst of complete darkness, Li Huowang's eyes snapped open. "Am I awake now?" he wondered, glancing around nervously.
When he discovered he was lying in his house in the Capital City, not on a hospital bed, he finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Li Huowang struggled to sit up. He shook his groggy head hard, and the world before his eyes instantly twisted violently.

The Astrological Bureau's reaction was predictable. Once Li Huowang heard from Nan Gong that the assignment concerning Ren Wang had already been taken, he knew his task for Ji Lin was complete. All he had to do now was wait.
And during this brief interlude, Li Huowang needed to rest well, restore his battered energy, and rid himself of the persistent headache.
