After hearing that, Li Zhi'er went to summon the new Four Emperors into my study interface. The four of them really had been waiting in the reception room outside for quite some time. Normally, only the interface guards would be stationed there, but ever since I had returned these days, whether I was present or not, the place had been crammed with important civil and military officials.
It seemed the Four Emperors had been staying in the reception room outside the interface these past few days. To allow me to block out the officials seeking an audience, the reception room had been sealed off from all auras, and Li Zhi'er was the final line of defense. So, let alone the Four Emperors, no one could easily see me. After all, getting past Li Zhi'er was no easy feat.
Once seated in the main hall, the Four Emperors still had their foreheads covered in cold sweat. Clearly, the lingering fear from that night had yet to fade. But when they saw my broad smile, they raised smiles of their own.
Gu Longjun glanced at Li Zhi'er, seemingly having received some sort of inspiration. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Congratulations, Boss, on pacifying the Eastern Divine Throne. Once Boss makes a move, the result is truly extraordinary. How could those petty fools who had attained the Dao Heaven possibly be your match? Just as expected, they surrendered within three days..."
"All right, all right, enough with the nonsense. I've listened to nothing but flattery these past two days, until my ears have nearly grown calluses. We're all family here, so get to the point. All that empty talk is just trying to fool me." I waved a hand, looking as though I did not want to hear any more.
