This interaction once again let all the high-level officials of the Third Sanctuary in the Northwestern Region know about Qiu Tu's subtle relationship with the Eighth Sanctuary now.
It also informed... all the high-level officials that this matter did not receive authorization or permission from the Eighth Sanctuary.
This allowed the Eighth Sanctuary to successfully stay out of the affair.
Meanwhile, at the Eighth Sanctuary.
In Rao Shou's courtyard.
Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng were calmly fishing.
Compared with the mental exhaustion from some time ago, the apparent insincere compliance from the "Four States" these days didn't seem to affect them. Even... both of them seemed more spirited.
Tang Wanfeng was half-leaning on a rocking chair, holding a fishing rod, fishing while he said to Rao Shou beside him, "With the issuance of the seven appeasement orders, we can now say we're completely staying out of this, without violating the alliance made back then."
