All current major strategies of the Hou Clan are formulated by Hou Yuxiao and Hou Yuduan. Therefore, in the absence of Hou Yuxiao, he can only ask Old Fifth. He understands in his heart that his strengths do not lie in these matters; even though he is the elder brother, many things still need to be discussed collaboratively. This is the teaching of Hou Yuxiao to them and also the biggest reason why the Hou Clan has flourished to its current state.
Hou Yuduan's expression was always somewhat somber, as if he were contemplating something. When Hou Yucheng asked him such a question, his expression did not change in the slightest; he merely kept a composed face and remained silent for a long time before he gently spoke:
"Cooperating with Great Jin was personally decided by the elder brother before he left. Before his return, unless absolutely necessary, it cannot be altered!"
