The Old Emperor stripped off his intricate and luxurious attire, replacing it with tattered and shabby civilian clothes, with black mud smeared on his face, and his hair in a mess, looking just like any refugee beggar seen on the road, completely lacking his usual dignity and nobility.
Without the embellishment of power and status, he turned out to be just an ordinary middle-aged male beast.
He saw Shen Tang and Yun Han bringing troops to aid, and those eyes, corroded by years of greed and gradually turning murky, suddenly erupted with a spark of clarity!
He trembled as he stepped forward, clutching Shen Tang's hand tightly, his eyes red with excitement,
"Good daughter, I heard you dug a secret underground passage that can escort us out of the city! Quick! Quickly take us there!"
Shen Tang sneered, the Old Emperor usually treated her with disdain, never looking her in the eye, but now he's calling her a good daughter, pretending as if they had deep father-daughter sentiments.
