The Human Emperor suddenly smiled and tried to smooth things over.
"Yes!" Jin Yuan had no choice but to agree. The meaning in the Human Emperor's words clearly implied agreeing to let Xiao Mu atone for his crimes with meritorious service. What else could he say?
The Human Emperor waved his hand, letting Jin Yuan step back, and then spoke telepathically to the guards leaving with Xiao Mu, "The words of the Divine Phoenix are reasonable. Bring Xiao Mu back and let this Emperor see his injuries to assess whether he can atone for his crimes through service."
The guard, upon receiving the command, returned shortly after, set down Xiao Mu, saluted the Human Emperor, and immediately withdrew.
The Human Emperor waved to Xiao Mu, lifting the restriction.
Xiao Mu immediately jumped up from the ground, as if nothing had happened, and began to ride the cloud mist.
