"Your Majesty is looking for me?"
A sudden voice resounded, bringing great joy to Feng Jiwu's dignified face, while Si Haofeng slightly furrowed his brow.
From behind a golden pillar in the hall, a white-haired Daoist emerged, his presence emanating an aura of otherworldliness and detachment from the mundane world.
"Director of the Imperial Observatory, how dare you enter the palace without His Majesty's summons?" Si Haofeng's frown deepened upon seeing Qing Yu, and he couldn't help but rebuke sharply.
Without the Emperor's summons and without the guards and eunuchs of the palace being notified, Qing Yu's unauthorized entry into the palace was no small offense.
However, since the Emperor regarded him as kin, what had Qing Yu to fear about offenses!
"Enough, Si Qing, Daoist Qingyu is an outsider, we need not fuss over these trivial formalities," Feng Jiwu waved his hand and said.
An outsider? Even being the Director of the Imperial Observatory counts as an outsider?
