We had been welcomed by the sect master into the palace rather easily, as she greeted us with a very gentle gesture and a gentle voice as well. The other Elders had tried to stop her, however, as she had ended kneeling and thanking us. Honestly, I couldn't help but feel like seeing someone so dignified as her kneeling felt wrong to me.
Although I still couldn't agree with the elders because I felt like they had to be more grateful, but kneeling wouldn't do any good to me to be honest. I am not one of those people that get a high over others paying respect to me, I prefer physical gifts, if possible, hehe…
