"Xing Hou is back?!"
"How fast!"
All of the officials were stunned when they heard the voice. After all, news of the events on Cang Ling Mountain had just reached the capital recently.
"Have him come in quickly!" Emperor Lin Mubai did not step out of the throne room to welcome him, but he stood up from the throne excitedly.
Before long, Xing Hou, dressed in purple official robes, entered the throne room.
"I have failed your highness, please punish me accordingly!" Xing Yuanguo fell to his knees.
"Official Xing, please rise. I know all about the events on Cang Ling mountain. You have already preserved the pillars of our empire. Where have you failed?" Emperor Lin Mubai comforted.
"Exactly, Xing Hou has suffered so much this time!"
"It is a blessing to the empire that you can return."
