2007 The Emperor's Gratitude And The Celestials Meet

With The Ever Spring Mistress gone, the Emperor finally noticed a surprising person among them.

"Daoist Mu Lin?" The Emperor's attention had been so occupied with the Celestial being present, that his senses didn't pick up on another important person there.

There was no way he would forget who Lin Mu was after all. He was the one who had won the Tournament of the Four Guardian beasts as well as the one that his son had used the Imperial Might Talisman against. 

The Emperor also knew that Lin Mu had a great backing, which was why they had to suffer for a bit. But despite all that, the Emperor had no ill feelings. He knew where the fault lay, and he was far too old to be petty about things like this.

Thus he couldn't help but wonder why Lin Mu was there.

"Emperor Feng, greetings." Lin Mu cupped his hands. "I believe this is our second time meeting."
