"You're in a dire situation within Yue Kingdom's borders, aren't you?"
In a secluded area of Tongshan County, a young man clad in luxurious robes stood with his hands clasped behind his back. His gaze was fixed on the infighting among the three clans and six families as they joined forces to attack the Tongshan Xia Clan, stripping it of its foundation and dividing its wealth. Unable to contain his disdain, he let out a mocking laugh.
"We beseech the Third Prince to take us under your protection!
We vow to pledge ourselves to the Third Prince's service, swearing on our Dao hearts never to betray you!"
"If the Third Prince could aid us in rebuilding the Tongshan Xia Clan in secret, we would pledge eternal loyalty to you, serving as a sharp blade at your command!"
The speaker was Xia Shangyun.
