"Emperor's profound grace, this old servant is truly…" Master Zhuo's heart swelled with pride, but his aged face bore a look of abject embarrassment.
Yang Mengchen approached the Emperor and Master Zhuo, with Long Xuanmo naturally not leaving his side.
Upon seeing Yang Mengchen, a flash of deep-seated hatred crossed Master Zhuo's eyes, and he even deliberately trembled, his expression a blend of respect and a hint of fear.
Catching Master Zhuo's hatred in his eyes, Yang Mengchen's lips curved slightly, a fleeting sneer crossed his face, and he bowed towards the Emperor, "Reporting to Father Emperor, the whole world knows how much you cherish and honor talent. Master Zhuo has served through three dynasties and is extremely knowledgeable about state affairs. Father Emperor should not just allow Master Zhuo to retire and enjoy his remaining years; otherwise, the Imperial Court would lose a pillar of the state."
