The grand hall plunged into a brief silence. Lan Yu sat regally on the throne, his face shrouded in shadow, unreadable in expression.
However, the Fisherman could sense from the slight undulations in Lan Yu's power level that his heart was already awash with endless waves of emotion.
The Fisherman couldn't help but smile gently, then spoke in a low voice, "Lord of the Country, this matter was something you long suspected. I merely unveiled it. In an era that gives birth to masters of such stature, their renown is bound to spread far and wide. The Speaker could not possibly have emerged from obscurity suddenly."
Listening to the Fisherman's words, Lan Yu fell into slight silence, noncommittally saying, "I naturally wish to form the Sea Country Alliance, but as you have seen, there are undercurrents flowing between the Sea Countries now. The Duorong Federation is even at war with our nation. To form the Sea Country Alliance is likely not so easy."
