Moreover, this [Celestial Alliance] has just been established. Unless some people are killed to establish authority, others will still think you're made out of clay.
As for how much of this is Yao Yufei's careful scheming to expand her territory, Chu Xuan turned a blind eye, considering it one of the "benefits" he promised her initially.
Additionally, on the same day, new intelligence arrived: [Profound Celestial Sect] announced the reopening of its sect gates, reestablishing the sect, and seeking disciples widely once more.
It seems the Shangguan family genuinely wants to recreate its past glory, formally stepping out of seclusion to properly compete with the Celestial Alliance.
Unfortunately, Chu Xuan, immersed in a gentle haven, had no time to concern himself with these for the moment...
