After the court was dismissed, Martial Emperor and Taibai Jinxing followed His Majesty the Jade Emperor to Miro Palace Hall of Universal Brightness.
The Jade Emperor changed into a pale moon-colored robe and lay back leisurely on a soft couch, listening to Taibai Jinxing recount more about Sun Wukong's experiences investigating the case in the lower realm.
"Your Majesty, Sun Wukong's talent is as exceptional as his strength," Taibai Jinxing finally praised. "Your servant congratulates Your Majesty on acquiring another fine talent!"
"Indeed, it's quite unexpected," said the Jade Emperor, his fingers lightly tapping on his leg as if he were plotting something. "Sending him to tend horses was somewhat beneath his abilities."
Taibai Jinxing, with a smile, did not join the conversation, knowing that the Emperor had his own thoughts and as a subject, he could not presume to make decisions for His Majesty.
Martial Emperor stood by, still serious and not given to frivolity.
