Seeing the young man bow before him, Xiao Chen showed no surprise; the aura emanating from this Burial King had long revealed his identity.
Immediately, Xiao Chen discarded his previous smile, his expression growing formal as he clasped his fists and returned the ancient gesture.
"Xiao Chen of the Eastern Wasteland."
This was the first meeting between the two. The Burial King bowed deeply, but it did not indicate his willingness to submit to Xiao Chen's authority or to become his Empire Advisor; it was merely the etiquette of their first encounter.
"Not long ago, I paid a visit to the Tiantai Goddess. It was her words that prompted me to travel eastward. I did not expect to meet the Forbidden Sacred Child on my journey!"
Xiao Chen was visibly startled upon hearing this. He hadn't anticipated that the Empire Advisor before him had undertaken his journey eastward because of Tiantai Xuan's words.
