"Your subjects pay homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we are incompetent, and you have suffered!"
When the officials saw that familiar yet very pale face, they were immediately excited, some even with the hint of tears in their voices, echoing through the crowd.
Shen Shao broke into a slight smile, his divine eyes gently sweeping over everyone, finally resting on Xie Tian.
While everyone else was kneeling, only Xie Tian stood, dazed.
"Xie Tian, is it that you do not recognize Us after more than three years?"
Upon hearing this, the ministers raised their heads and, seeing Xie Tian standing there stupefied, burst into good-natured laughter. Shen Feng stepped forward, smiling and said, "Xie Tian, why do you not pay homage to His Majesty?"
Xie Tian shuddered all over and instantly bowed his head, his gaze pulling away from Shen Shao, his left knee hitting the floor of the hall with a thud, his voice trembling as if from the excitement.
