Lex genuinely needed to think of a way to recover mental energy. If he could not, there was no way he would be able to attend the entire meeting. He had not even spent a full day, and the mental exhaustion was beginning to seriously affect him. Fortunately, Voidmaw was giving him a good excuse to use the hot tub, which should help with the situation.
Lex had no idea if he was contaminated by Dao aura, or if there was some other reason behind his exhaustion. He could only try things one by one to help him recover, and the hot tub was as decent a place to start as anywhere else.
Without looking back at the guest in the room, or so much as even bidding him farewell, the Innkeeper followed Voidmaw out the room. The unusual behavior of the Innkeeper was not missed by any of the nearby Dao Lords, all of them turning to look at the guest within, already planning out their next moves. Some moved to investigate, while others moved to distance themselves.
