The Empress

Xue Wei had, in fact, killed a whole pack of Qilins and stolen all their horns alongside with two other groups of people.

Although he did not have a massive amount of Qilin Horns, he had enough to make the Emperor interested.

But he also understood what Xue Wei was saying. He was not only offering the items that he had, but he was also reminding the Emperor that everything the Vermilion Bird Clan youngsters had now, was due to his effort.

Although he did not say it directly, the Emperor easily understood him. He was once again utterly tolerant of Xue Wei and smiled.

"I will consider it," he promised. He did not give any definite answers, but Xue Wei understood that he was not against it.

He also understood that although this man was the Emperor, the leader of the Vermilion Bird Clan, he was not able to make all decisions on his own.
