Soon, two figures hurried towards the Imperial Study Room.
These two people were, naturally, the emperor's favorites, one being Celestial Master Zhang, and the other Zhao Yin.
Although they were both favored by the emperor, these two never got along, possibly fitting the phrase, "two tigers cannot share one mountain."
Celestial Master Zhang had a more amiable character, though he looked down on Zhao Yin, thinking that raising Gu insects with children was truly harmful to one's posterity and would shorten one's life. He had once advised the emperor not to collude with Zhao Yin, but to his surprise, he was severely reprimanded by the emperor. From then on, he no longer dared to say anything, focusing wholeheartedly on searching for the Thousand Year Striped Tiger.
"Brother Zhao, how have you been!"
At the entrance of the Imperial Study Room, the two encountered each other. Celestial Master Zhang was the first to salute with folded hands.
