Emperor Zhenji was informed about the arrival of Master Tao. Without wasting a moment, he headed to welcome Master Tao in the imperial palace. Upon reaching the palace grounds, he saw Master Tao was with Shen Daoren.
Masye Tao bowed slightly and respectfully joined his hands. "Greetings to Your Majesty." He stood straight while Shen Daoren also greeted the Emperor in a respectful manner.
Emperor Zhenji smiled warmly and said, "Master Tao, it is an honor to have you grace the imperial palace after such a long time."
"The honor is mine, Your Majesty," Master Tao said, his voice filled with reverence.
Emperor Zhenji gestured for everyone to walk towards the main palace hall, indicating that they should proceed with their conversation inside. "Please, let us continue our discussion in the comfort of the palace chambers," Emperor Zhenji suggested, leading the way. The Eunuch and the other servants in the Emperor's service also followed them.
