Bai Ruozhu and the others were busy all morning, and just applying medicine to the injured took quite a bit of effort.
Nearing noon, a monk came from outside to report, "Benefactor, His Majesty the Emperor has come to visit the abbot."
Bai Ruozhu thought of the kindly-faced Emperor and felt a bit uneasy. Was there a connection between the Shadow Ninja and the Emperor? Was this inexplicable fire somehow related to him?
Considering that the Emperor was about to retire and devote himself to Buddha, Bai Ruozhu wondered why, if he were so ruthless, he wouldn't stay in power for a few more years.
While her thoughts wandered, the Emperor had arrived, and everyone in the room knelt in greeting, even those not seriously injured struggled to stand and bow.
Even the most severely injured, Master Puru, struggled to rise. The Emperor hurriedly went over to hold him down, saying, "There's no need for formalities, everyone lay down and focus on recovering."
