Chen Haixu can exercise his veto power, forcibly rejecting Gu Hang's proposal at this meeting, despite the unanimous agreement of the other eight Principal Sages.
But if he does so, what will he face next?
What secret agreement has Gu Hang reached with these eight, which could make them all turn against him?
Will these clandestine agreements go further and threaten him?
The eight Principal Sages may not directly threaten his position, but if Gu Hang, a powerful external ally, is introduced, can he, the Founding General, hold his seat?
All these factors lay before Chen Haixu, who saw the smile on Gu Hang's face, a smile seemingly asking him:
Do you really have the ability to forcibly veto this proposal?
He hesitated.
He actually didn't dare.
The situation was beyond his imagination.
But it's equally impossible for him to be coerced into casting a supporting vote without knowing anything.
