Long Chen sat on the throne and allowed only Gu Wang to stand. He had seen the arrogance of strong people for far longer. Now that he had strength, he wanted to give the arrogance back two folds.
Sitting on their knees in the distance, the Gu Clan members looked at Long Chen, hoping to be allowed up as well. But that didn't happen.
Long Chen wasn't going to do too many favors as he didn't want to spoil the relationship between Gu Clan and others.
If he made Gu Clan stand up, the others would think that it was Gu Clan's scheme to insult them. On the other hand, if he only had Gu Wang stand up at Gu Lin's request, they'll think that he's just doing it because he's close to Gu Lin.
"Gu Wang! Please talk to the Senior about me too! I made a mistake. Please get him to forgive me too," The King pleaded Gu Wang as he saw him stand up.
