The Lingbei, Longshan, and Beehive factions in Xia City have long been an open secret, and I don't believe Father didn't have the idea of uniting with the Longbei faction to rise to the top echelons of Great Xia.
Something must have happened to cause such a drastic change in Father.
Hou Jing clearly understood the thoughts in his son's eyes and shook his head slightly:
"Don't think about contending with Li Tiancheng anymore. With Li Xuanling as the Lord Lady, whether or not we align with the Longshan faction, Yu Bin, Dong Zhong and others won't follow us anymore. Not to mention Zhang Qingyuan, Lu Yin, Lin Ye, even Hou Ming, Hou Quan, Hou Ying, Hou Tong, and Hou Ming are likely to gradually turn to Li Tiancheng. In the future, don't mention the word 'Longbei faction' again. Just calmly be a Great Xia person and cultivate to become strong. As long as you have strength, your time to shine will eventually come!"
Upon hearing this, Hou Bing fell silent.
