Just as the Great Emperors were worried, suddenly, He Tan raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Eh, they're back. Haha, it seems they're fine. Good, good."
Not long after he spoke, Yang Chen and Wang Tong returned from afar.
"You two are finally back," Emperor Hua Wu said grumpily, with a bit of reprimanding tone in his words.
However, it would be more accurate to call it protection than reprimand because once he scolded them, Emperor Jinshi and Emperor He Tan wouldn't be able to say much.
Yang Chen understood Emperor Hua Wu's meaning. "We made the seniors wait a long time, and it was mainly because of some junior private matters that delayed our return. It's entirely my fault, and it has nothing to do with Senior Wang Tong!"
Wang Tong felt very grateful in secret. By saying that, Yang Chen showed that he cared, at least enough to take responsibility.
