At that moment, a commotion arose from the crowd below. Then, a vigorous voice rang out as a white-clothed youth strolled over. His face was lean, his features sharply defined, and he carried himself with heroic vigor. He was none other than Jiang Jingxu, a direct descendant of the Jiang imperial clan.
He came before the great hall, dropped to one knee, and clasped his hands in salute. "This child greets Father Emperor!"
Jiang Tai was the patriarch of the Southern Ridge Jiang clan and Jiang Jingxu's father. He was also a genuine Through Profound Realm expert who commanded the Jiang clan.
"Rise."
Jiang Tai raised his head and examined Jiang Jingxu, then said with a hearty smile, "It has only been a few days, Xu'er, yet you seem to have gained a sharp Sword Momentum. It seems you haven't been slacking off these past few days!"
"Thank you for your praise, Father Emperor." Jiang Jingxu lowered his head in reply. Then his tone shifted as he solemnly asked, "However, I am worried about Mother Consort's injuries. Has Father Emperor found a way to treat her?"
Jiang Tai gently patted Jiang Jingxu's shoulder. "Don't worry. With Young Master Lin here, your mother will certainly be safe."
"Young Master Lin?" Jiang Jingxu froze for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Who is he?"
"He is Lin Taichu, the Young Sect Master of the Lin Sacred Sect," Jiang Tai explained.
"So it is the Lin clan's Young Sect Master." Jiang Jingxu immediately understood. A solemn expression appeared on his face as he clasped his hands toward Lin Taichu. "Thank you, Brother Lin, for coming to our aid out of righteousness. Jiang will forever remember this favor and repay it generously in the future!"
Lin Taichu smiled faintly. "Xu'er, you are too polite."
