Changfeng Building was the most discreet location; all major and minor noble families from Jiangnan were present. Originally, such gatherings were supposed to be held in the private estates of great families, but if someone were to intentionally leak the news, the host of the gathering would be in deep trouble.
So it was held within Changfeng Building.
The families, both great and small, were indignant. Throughout history, every rising hero began by garnering the support of the aristocratic families. Many of those from humble beginnings had risen to power with the aid of these families, and Li Guanyi was expected to follow suit.
However, his recent actions had fanned the flames of resentment among the noble houses.
At that moment, the gathered crowd cursed in anger:
"Li Guanyi has gone too far in his insolence!"
"Such arrogance and rashness in a young upstart, he's unfit for strategizing the affairs of the world!"
