(Sect Master Feng POV)
I believe it wouldn't be a wrong thing to say that most of the Grand Sects had thought the Queen was bluffing.
Sure, she had started purging a few of the Noble Houses for treason, but there was no way she would dare lay a finger on the Major Houses right? The backlash from such a decision should have been too big for a young girl like her to bear.
A few of the Grand Sects even had a secret meeting to discuss her actions, the consensus being that she definitely wouldn't do anything drastic.
Still, a number of us decided to play it on the safe side and sent gifts to Master Lin. Of course, we all thought it wasn't worth it to send anything valuable since nothing was going to happen anyway but having options is always better.
In the end, I decided to send two Phoenix Embers and used one of the letters embroidered with a Phoenix feather to Master Lin.
