"So, elder brother, you promptly formed an alliance through marriage with Zhao Qingxue to establish an early relationship with the Ziqing Holy Sect and make Leiyin Temple hesitate to treat Hexi too harshly?"
Hearing Hou Yujie ask this, Hou Yuxiao knew he had calmed down, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face, and he nodded, "Indeed, in fact, such matters, even if not made public, are not a secret from a powerful force like Leiyin Temple. They must have known about my relationship with the Ziqing Holy Sect long ago. So, to think that this marriage alone would make Leiyin Temple hesitate is far from enough!"
Hou Yuxiao pointed to Hexi on the map, then sequentially pointed to the Tongtian River, Guangling Prefecture, and Lingyuan Prefecture, and looked up at Hou Yuduan and Hou Yujie, asking, "What do you think is our current relationship with these four families?"
