Ling Han raised his clasped hands politely in the Rain Emperor's direction and said, "This young junior hereby pays respects to Your Imperial Majesty!"
Since he had addressed himself as junior, the respects he paid were naturally that of a martial artist to his senior, so there was no kneed to kneel or bow. If he was greeting the Rain Emperor as a subject, then he would have to kneel. Those were two absolutely different standpoints.
The Rain Emperor did not rebuke him. Instead, he smiled, and said, "Young man, you are very proud!"
By his feet, Xu Ke Xin was awakened by the noise. When she opened her eyes and looked at Ling Han, she could not help but look slightly surprised. She had obviously met this young man before and had even once thought of killing him before, though she had not made the move to in the end.
She had never thought that this person would actually be qualified to meet with the Rain Emperor. This was extremely surprising.
