Su Yú exchanged a few casual pleasantries with Emperor Chongning before bidding him farewell. Although the emperor desperately wanted to keep the two of them in the imperial palace for a state dinner to close the distance between them, Su Yú had no intention of giving him that opportunity.
After Su Yú and Su Ling'er departed, Emperor Chongning let out a helpless, inward smile: They really are unrestrained, untamed, and a law unto themselves.
Practitioners—especially ones like Su Yú and Su Ling'er—cared practically nothing for an emperor like him. They barely took him seriously at all. If anyone else had dared to strut so audibly into his imperial city and stroll out just as easily, or dared to turn down a royal banquet, they would likely have felt their nine familial generations were a bit too numerous to keep intact. Only these practitioners could afford to treat him with such utter disregard for his face.
