The alliance seems to be grand in scale, but inside, everyone fights their own battles, not a monolith. Though Hou Yuxiao had already understood this point, he was still a bit surprised when Wei Xuheng stated it so directly. As expected, Wei Xuheng would now start trying to win him over...
"You and I are linked by marriage, unlike others. Qingxue was raised under my watch. Since I gave her to you in marriage, it's because I value you, and I value Hexi. I am presumptuous to call you Yuxiao..."
This sudden intimacy made Hou Yuxiao feel a bit uncomfortable inside, yet he put on an excited expression, looked up with an emotional face, and said, "Thank you for your favour, Ancestor Master. Yuxiao could not ask for more!"
