When Huo Xing’Er arrived at the Emperor’s private courtyard, Ji Youyuan had just arrived as well, and they t at the door of the Emperor’s room.
"Big Brother!"
Huo Xing’Er was the first to call out to Ji Youyuan.
Ji Youyuan nodded slightly at her, expressing courtesy.
Huo Xing’Er observed Ji Youyuan’s serious deanor and heavy thoughts, she opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing.
Outside the Emperor’s courtyard, guards stood every three steps and sentries every five steps.
Seeing Ji Youyuan and Huo Xing’Er, the leading guard hurriedly clasped his hands in salute.
"Sect Leader Ji, Second Mada, His Majesty and the National Master are inside awaiting you both, please co in."
The guard spoke, gently knocking on the door twice, and it was unexpectedly opened by Princess Ata.
"Sect Leader Ji, Second Mada, please!"
Princess Ata maintained a very humble posture, remaining as discerning as ever in front of the Ji Family mbers.
Ji Youyuan and Huo Xing’Er nodded slightly to her, then proceeded into the room on their own.
At this ti, the Emperor’s injuries had greatly improved, and he sat in front of a specially arranged desk in the room.
The National Master and the senior attendant from the Witch God Hall of Nanjiang each sat in a subordinate position to him.
Upon seeing Ji Youyuan and Huo Xing’Er enter, the National Master remained motionless, sitting calmly in his original position.
However, the senior attendant rose and greeted Ji Youyuan with a salute customary in Nanjiang.
"Greetings, Sect Leader Ji, Second Mada Ji!"
Ji Youyuan and Huo Xing’Er looked at him with surprise.
"You actually recognize us?"
Ji Youyuan walked in and casually sat down, even forgoing the courtesy of saluting the Emperor.
The Emperor didn’t mind either; he knew Ji Youyuan was displeased.
He was also displeased about this matter; his beloved daughter had just extricated herself from a tiger’s den, and now he truly didn’t want his precious daughter to venture into this wolf’s den!
Seeing Ji Youyuan’s behavior, the National Master remained expressionless, but the senior attendant was shocked at heart.
Not kneeling before the Emperor, he could understand, as Master Ji served in the court and was not only the leader of a sect but also possessed cultivation at the Great Grandmaster Realm.
But he hadn’t anticipated Ji Youyuan to be so blunt, not even offering a courtesy gesture to the Emperor!
Although shocked internally, the senior attendant hadn’t forgotten the purpose of his visit!
"Sect Leader Ji, esteed as the Sect Leader of the Illusion Sect and a figure at the Great Grandmaster Realm, your illustrious na and image are deeply etched in my heart."
"Look at you, my big brother isn’t so great beauty for you to think about so much!"
Huo Xing’Er coldly snorted directly, sitting down as well.
Her tone was harsh, and her expression even harsher, as if soone owed her three hundred taels of silver.
"Second Mada Ji jests; Sect Leader Ji’s fa from a young age and profound cultivation make him a figure I admire, naturally keeping him in my thoughts."
The senior attendant couldn’t comprehend the source of Huo Xing’Er’s anger.
But now that he had a favor to ask, he discreetly suppressed the displeasure in his heart.
He spoke so grandiose, dignified words.
Upon hearing this, Huo Xing’Er sneered again.
"You’d better not keep my big brother in your thoughts, no... best not keep anyone from our Ji Family in your thoughts!"
Huo Xing’Er’s words carried implicit aning, which the senior attendant failed to grasp, yet Princess Ata understood.
She suddenly turned to Huo Xing’Er, her face pale, her lips trembling, timidly calling out "Second Mada"!
However, under Huo Xing’Er’s direct gaze, she didn’t know what to say next!
