Empress Xia Yunzhao led the civil and military officials along with the one hundred thousand rescued citizens.
They stood behind the young Taoist, disorganized yet reverent, and deeply bowed to him!
After these citizens of Great Xia were awakened from their plight, Xia Xuanmin had arranged for someone to explain the causes and effects to them and let them know exactly who had saved them.
They knew they needed to repay this kindness.
So none of these one hundred thousand citizens left; they all drank water diluted with Strengthening Pills, enduring it just to thank the lifesaver in front of them at this moment.
After everyone completed their bowing, they rose and said in unison,
"We thank the young Taoist for saving our lives! Should the Taoist need anything in the future, we will surely provide it with all our might!"
This speech had been agreed upon in advance, which is why they could say it so uniformly.
But the gratitude was genuinely heartfelt.
