Chapter 371 The Resolve Of An Emperor!
Noah nodded seriously, seeing his friend pleading with him. He knew how important pride was to the people of this world, and he would never dare to trample on the pride of his friend. He would go to lengths to protect the honor of his friends and family.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Can I come along with you?" Just as Noah was about to leave, he was stopped by someone. 'Déjà vu?'
"Why do you want to come along?" Noah raised his eyebrows, seeing Ruo'er approaching.
"I want to help in bringing them back–"
"The real reason?" Noah stopped her with a plain voice. Ruo'er bit her lip, "I want to use this chance to go out and train."
Seeing the frown on Wuhan's face, she immediately explained. "I know that lives are on the line, and I promise I won't slow you down or interfere in your way of bringing them back. I will just fight the people I can deal with on the side, making way for you to deal with the rest."
Noah looked at Wuhan, waiting for him to make a decision. Seeing Noah looking at him, Wuhan shook his head, "It's up to you. I just want all of them back safely; I don't care about the pretext."
Noah nodded and turned to look at Ruo'er with a serious look on his face. "You will follow my words out there. You will only engage when I tell you to."
"I promise!" Ruo'er nodded with a resolute look on her face. Noah sneaked some looks at Xin Yan, who had been oddly silent throughout the whole ordeal.
He was further puzzled when he saw her smiling as she looked at them.
'Come back safely.' Seeing him looking in her direction, she waved her hand while sending a thought transmission.
'I will.'
"Before I forget, take this." Wuhan suddenly took out a token from his storage ring and passed it to Noah. It was a golden pentagon-shaped token with a dragon carved on it.
"This is my personal token. If the need arises, you can show it and say the emperor sent you." Noah listened while carefully examining the token. "No one will dare to stop you. If they still dare to stop you, I will leave the decision up to you."
Noah raised his eyebrows, seeing the look of trust in Wuhan's eyes, and nodded.
Soon the three of them walked out of the sect. Wuhan made his way towards the capital city while Noah and Ruo'er jumped on a ship to move in a different direction.

On the other side, Wuhan arrived back in the Royal Palace and entered the throne room.
*Clang!*
The guards at the gate bowed to him before opening the gates. Upon entering the throne room, his eyes landed on the minister who was talking to one of the many scholars under him.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing Wuhan enter, they both bowed in unison to show their respects to the emperor.
'Something's wrong!' Being the person closest to Wuhan, the minister knew him for a long time, and he could tell that something was wrong just from his facial expressions.
"Rise!" Wuhan's cold yet authoritative words echoed in the throne room, making the two men shiver in fright.
"How is the work that I have assigned you proceeding?" Walking past the two of them, Wuhan stepped on the steps leading to the throne.
*Tap!*
Turning around, he sat on the throne while looking down at his subordinates. The minister shivered feeling Wuhan's gaze on him and thought.
'What a familiar gaze... How... thrilling, looks like the emperor is finally getting serious.'
"Ah~ Just as you ordered, Your Majesty, I have gathered almost all of the information you need on this scroll." With a happy look on his face, the minister walked up and presented a scroll to Wuhan while kneeling in front of him.
"If it's not too much to ask, may I ask what His Majesty is planning?" The minister raised his head, saying those words only to tremble to see Wuhan's cold gaze.
Wuhan shifted his gaze from the minister to the man behind him
before exclaiming, "Waves of changes will be coming in the future. It will shake the roots of the whole empire."
*Boom!*
Wuhan's words were like thunders in the ears of the listeners; they shook the atmosphere of the room. The minister and the scholar shivered for different reasons. But one thing was certain for both of them, and it was that Wuhan made a deep impression on both of them.
