The little golden dragon pursed its mouth, undecided as to whether to trust this person or not.

Meanwhile, within the deep palace, there was a great shift in the atmosphere.
An old man cloaked in a thick white mink robe, his hair as white as a crane's but his face as youthful as a child's and his eyes bright, slowly entered the Night Dragon Palace.
"This servant greets Your Majesty," he bowed and knelt.
"Officer Yao, please rise," the emperor said immediately.
The man standing in front of him was Yao Dengxian, the head of the Dragon Feeding Supervision and a senior eunuch.
After seizing control of the Siyun Avenue, Yao Dengxian remained humble and continued to regard himself as a servant, maintaining an absolute loyalty to the successive emperors of the Yu Dynasty. This might be why the position of the Dragon Feeding Supervision remained as secure as Mount Tai.
