For over an hour, people came and went in the hall, including army and government officials. Yet among these individuals, not a single person glanced at Zhao Yang even once.
To avoid disturbing Elder Xia, these visitors only mingled on the first floor, with many coming and going, leaving behind various gifts.
Only those with the closest ties to the Xia family acted as semi-hosts on the first floor, and they themselves were the reason many people came to visit Elder Xia.
Zhao Yang watched everything with a cold eye. He understood this was a network of relationships composed of certain individuals.
The center of this network was Elder Xia.
Many who came to visit didn't actually come to see Elder Xia. Their true intention was to enter this network and become a part of it.
It could be said that the Xia family had already become a distinguished clan in Yunyan.
Now, Xia Feng and Xia Bing of the younger generation of the Xia family were also starting to make a name for themselves.
