I'm here to do business

Using his authority as the crown prince, Qin Yu took Mark and the others into the imperial palace without the need for any invitation or permission letter, followed by allotting them their guest rooms before hurriedly leaving to meet his father.

Perhaps, his luck also turned around after meeting Mark. His father, who never easily sees him when he was in a meeting with someone else, suddenly allowed him to walk in.

With great enthusiasm, Qin Yu walks inside and spots a familiar-looking old man. He stops in his tracks involuntarily and apologized for the intrusion. "I didn't know that you were in a meeting with Venerable Yang. I'll come at a later time."

The reason why the emperor let his good-for-nothing son interrupt this meeting is that he wanted some time to think of a way to reject the marriage proposal from the Xianshu sect now that the Western Moon kingdom is out of the picture.
