In the morning, Du You had just woken up, only to discover someone was already waiting at the door for him.
"My lord, you're awake. Would you like to have breakfast or go directly to the City Lord's Mansion? The city lord has been eagerly awaiting you."
Overnight, the attitudes of the people of Qingji City towards him had completely changed. From being initially wary or even scared, they were now respectful and some were even displaying fanatical adoration. That look in their eyes was almost too overwhelming for Du You.
"I will go to the City Lord's Mansion first." Reflecting on the town's poverty- where even the city lord could only eat steamed bread with water - Du You dismissed any reliance on Qingji City's food. He might as well have barbecued meat.
"My lord, please follow me. The city lord and others have already waited for you all night."
