Truly, the tree wishes to remain still but the wind keeps blowing!
Back at home, Wang Chen thought it over and didn't feel that the middle-aged steward was trying to deceive him.
After Dongwu Stockade's master, Xin Han, took the woman cultivator Hu Meiniang from the Hehuan Sect as his concubine, he specially established the Guard Hall for her brother, the Golden Snake Gentleman Jin Liancheng, appointing him as the Hall Master and giving him control over the military power of the City Lord's Mansion.
Xin Han was even more fond of Hu Meiniang. It's said that he neglected all affairs for an entire month, devoting himself entirely to dual cultivation with her.
Some time ago, when Xin Han went into seclusion, the reins of power in this stockade completely fell into the hands of the brother and sister, Hu Meiniang and Jin Liancheng.
Under such circumstances, to say that the old followers of Xin Han in the City Lord's Mansion were completely obedient was simply impossible!
