Separated by the eunuch, the Emperor of Da Liang began to show off smugly to Li Huowang. "Brother, were you scared? I bet you didn't expect this, did you? That I would actually be the Emperor!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Li Huowang gave him a Daoist salute. He had wanted to return peacefully, but it was clear this young emperor had other plans.
"Hey! Thanks again for your help last time. If you hadn't warned me, I would've been tricked by that guy! You've got a good heart; you're a good man. From now on, you'll be an official by my side! You can ask for whatever position you want."
"Absurd! Those are the words of a foolish monarch!" The State Preceptor's remark instantly changed the emperor's expression, and he no longer dared to be so presumptuous. It seemed that even though he was the Emperor of Da Liang, there were some matters he could not decide on his own.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten what must be done today?"
