The crowd looked at each other, then lowered their heads in silence.
Oppose?
If they dared to oppose, they wouldn't have come here. The situation remains unclear, so they have to go through the motions.
Moreover.
Qin Chuan's strength was far beyond their expectations. They originally thought this young Celestial Lord had no background, but now it seemed his father was not simple at all.
"Since no one opposes, it proves that you've all acknowledged my son as the Celestial Lord. In that case, you've come to offer congratulations, so you should show the proper sincerity, not just go through the motions like someone else did."
As Qin Chuan spoke, he added, "It's not that my son craves your treasures, but the Celestial Lord must maintain the dignity of his position."
The crowd twitched at the corners of their mouths.
This explanation was worse than none. How is it any different from loudly proclaiming innocence while hiding silver?
