Shen Luo quickly left through the South City Gate and arrived at the area outside the city.
Outside the city gate, along the road, there were still many farmers and traveling merchants who were unsuccessful in entering the city. They carried their burdens and pushed their carts, setting up stalls on both sides of the road to sell various miscellaneous goods and vegetables.
Shen Luo looked around and quickly noticed a simple grass tent beside the road not far away. There was a white-faced scholar inside, holding a black pottery bowl with a broken corner, seemingly drinking tea.
He quickly walked over, sat down opposite the scholar. He got a tea bowl from a servant, he also poured himself a bowl of tea.
However, after he took a sip, he immediately grimaced and spat it out. He could taste a bitter and moldy aftertaste in his mouth, which was extremely uncomfortable.
