Shen Jinghai was truly flattered and surprised. Although he had anticipated that Lord City Lord would be delighted upon seeing the letter, he hadn't expected him to be so delighted as to willingly emerge and come to him.
However, he truly wasn't prepared at all. Neither the arrangement of his home nor his attire was appropriate for meeting the City Lord, making him feel very embarrassed for being seen in such a shabby state!
For a moment, Shen Jinghai was at a loss, his hands involuntarily tidying up his slightly disheveled clothes, his face a bit pale, his features incredibly rigid, clearly a forced calmness.
"Lord City Lord, I..."
Shen Ruoshi, however, placed his index finger in front of his lips, gesturing for silence, and then pointed behind him, indicating they should speak outside.
Shen Jinghai nodded, and then promptly employed an immortal technique to clear himself of any impurities and changed his clothes, walking out of the bedroom with a solemn face.
