The two master and servant were bickering over here, while over there, after wrestling with his conscience for a bit, the Elder was still beaten down by reality. Rather than letting his Master sneak into the Imperial Palace to steal treasure and take such a huge risk, it was better to grab what was right in front of them. So, forcing himself to endure his inner disgust, he took the Luminous Pearl out from the Empress Dowager's ass.
Seeing this, the Weirdo's body jolted; he sprang far away in one leap, looking utterly repulsed.
The Elder felt deeply wounded—his own Master actually despised him.
Everything he was doing, he was doing for the sake of rebuilding his Master's power. Even though he no longer had hands or feet, in his heart his Master was still supreme and untouchable. He hoped his Master could return to the Imperial Family, instead of crawling on the ground all day like an animal, still selling his life for others.
