The Emperor, of course, didn’t approve of Xi Shen using his Void Beasts like this and thus did not fault the people he disguise as and had even given his permission that it was okay to avoid him. The guards wearing helmets that covered almost all of their faces was one of the precautions that were implemented to prevent Xi Shen from sneaking into the Secret Archives that hold sensitive information.
However, Xi Shen had only done so to get a better grasp of what this Era was like. He had read pretty much everything in the public and restricted archive so he did not need to sneak in there anymore.
Though no one knew that, and even to this day people still kept up the act of hiding their faces from him.
Anyone would find this whole situation completely absurd, and they in fact had a right to view it as such.
Even as the last rays of the sun remain in the evening sky, Xi Shen walked unhindered to his mother’s courtyard.
