Su Yang slowly nodded, put down his teacup, and spoke softly, "It seems that among those three families, two do not submit to you, and the one that didn't even send someone has other backers!"
Zhao Ping'an scratched his head and whispered, "Master, it's okay that those two families don't submit to me. But the one that didn't send anyone, do they really have other backers?"
"Hehe..." Su Yang smiled faintly, "After last night's great battle, these well-informed great families must have heard about the events. In such a situation, it's normal for some not to submit to you and not show up in person. But if there are those who don't show up at all, it's not just a matter of not submitting to you."
"Why?" Zhao Ping'an asked curiously.
"You are in control of Liuan City, that is a settled matter. Those two families do not submit to you, but they still sent someone, so even if you were to pursue this later, their family heads could find an excuse to deal with this matter."
