Chapter: 901
It was close to howling, but it could be heard inside the throne room, the Emperor frowned and looked at Admiral Seo Tae-sik.
“What is all that fuss?”
“I will find out.”
When Seo Tae-sik looked over, he saw a couple of eunuchs rushing out of the throne room.
Not long after, they came running back in, one after another.
Their faces, blue, and their clothes were soaked in sweat from running.
Thud!
“Your Majesty! we have critical information.”
“How many times have I told you people not to make a fuss inside the palace grounds? What happened this time?”
Judging from the Emperor’s tone, it seemed that this was something that happened quite often.
Since the announcement about the abolition of Taoism, the number of teachers who came in to complain had been troublesome.
“Your Majesty! Please let us continue the talks! Wasn’t the very Empire the one who let Taoism flourish from the days of the first Emperor? How could we allow those evil Demonic Cult to enter and dismantle our temples?”
Peng-gyu’s face hardened at the words of one of the people who’d come in.
He’d thought that something must have happened to delay Monk Sathi’s entry into the throne room, but it seemed like something had definitely happened.
That was when Yeon Buso grabbed the teacher who’d come in and asked.
“Hold on. Did the Lord of the Demonic Cult appear in the temple too?”
“Ugh, how did you know?”
Yeon Buso’s eyes widened at the teacher who questioned him back.
He’d asked out of curiosity to know if the Demonic Cult’s Lord had appeared in the Imperial palace or not.
‘Wait! The Lord of the Demonic Cult came here? Then wouldn’t we have a better solution?’
Whilst contemplating, Yeon Buso came up with an idea to persuade the Emperor.
‘The emperor seems smitten by the Lord of the Demonic cult. If I can’t persuade them, then it might be better to prove myself to be superior to him.’
This was an opportunity he couldn’t miss.
Yeon Buso explained his plan to Peng-gyu who was still kneeling on the ground.
Hearing that, Peng-gyu was hesitant for a while and then agreed.
It seemed like a waste of time to stand in the throne room trying to convince the Emperor, so they decided to opt for another way.
They decided to make the Emperor know that they had given up.
“Your Majesty! We are taking a step back!”
The emperor clicked his tongue as he looked at the two people who had every intention to return here.
What they wanted to do was clear to everyone present.
