In Tongling Prefectural City, there were three powers that Hou Yuxiao couldn't afford to offend: the Prefectural Magistrate's Office, the Prison Admin Department, and the Great Luo Sect. From the moment he agreed to duel with Cheng Yue, Hou Yuxiao knew that offending Ding Dian was inevitable.
Fortunately, both the Prefectural Magistrate's Office and the Great Luo Sect had already made clear they would protect him, so he had no major worries about high-level relations.
Beyond these three powers, the concept of offending or not offending didn't apply to the remaining seven third-rate forces. The Hou Family had come to the county to secure a status equal to theirs.
If they were afraid of offending them, what was the point of the Hou Family striving to rise through the ranks?
Hou Yuxiao's stern voice rang out, causing all the onlookers to turn their heads and look at him, their faces showing surprise.
