Outside the hall, the crowd waited, extremely apprehensive.
Suddenly, there came a light laughter, emerging from the hall.
"Your Majesty, please take care!"
"Venerable Lord, please hold for a moment!"
Both men came out laughing in harmony.
Witnessing this, the attendants of the Longevity Star Palace Master and others, though filled with astonishment and doubt, dared not speak more; they could only step forward to greet them.
"Your Majesty!"
"Back to the Palace!"
The Jade Emperor spoke no more, smilingly bid Xu Yang farewell, and then rose in his chariot, heading back to the heavens.
Though each party had their own cunning plans, the goals were achieved with unexpected delight, and both host and guest parted satisfied.
