Xiahou Jie felt utterly miserable.
The Pingyang Prefecture would no longer be under his control.
Both the Mo Family and the Fifth Tower, he couldn't afford to offend either.
Suppressing his anger, he looked at the ten arriving Elders, his expression fluctuating.
The reason he called them wasn't to vent his anger, but to discuss matters.
There was still an issue that had to be addressed.
After collecting his thoughts, Xiahou Jie sighed before slowly speaking.
"Do you think we should still hold the Mountain Opening Ceremony tomorrow?"
As he asked this question, Xiahou Jie felt a pang of discomfort.
Would this have even been a question in the past?
But now...
When he returned from Pingyang City, he saw that the crowd that had come out of curiosity had all fled. Predictably, tomorrow's Mountain Opening Ceremony would be embarrassingly empty; if lucky, some people might attend, but if not, the place would be deserted.
