Zhang Wenyuan stood up at this time because he was about to assume the position of the new King of the Southern Territory. Although the official appointment had not yet been announced, the news had essentially spread among the upper echelons of the imperial capital, and it was a done deal.
The Tianluo Kingdom is located at the southwest end of the Xuanyuan Nation and is, in a sense, within the jurisdiction of the King of the Southern Territory. Therefore, Zhang Wenyuan's interjection at this time was undoubtedly a declaration of his stance.
However, this was the Northern Cloud Residence, the home of the Northern Border King. Given Ye Feng's temperament, it was natural that he would not allow others to dictate in his own home, not even the King of the Southern Territory.
So, as soon as Zhang Wenyuan stood up, his command had already been issued; Xiao Chuanqi, Leng Wuming, and Sima Zhantian, who had been waiting, immediately pounced.
