Chapter 485 Can’t Stand Others Doing Well [Second Release]
The people who received the Lanqu Order had all arrived.
Apart from those who received the Lanqu Order, the Clan Leaders of the second-tier families in Lanqu County City also appeared in the Prince Manor’s Council Hall. Although they did not receive the Lanqu Order issued by the Prince, they were also informed by the Prince Manor to attend today’s council.
In the council hall, characters of the status like the Lu Family Patriarch were seated at the central long table. The leaders of second-tier families and forces sat further away on arranged seats.
In plain terms, these leaders of the second-tier forces in the Commandery typically had no right to speak at such councils; they were here to listen. Of course, under special circumstances, they could express their opinions, but these were certainly not taken seriously.
"Lu Patriarch, hello!"
"Clan Chief Yuan as well, I haven’t seen you for several months!"
"Haha... Right, us old guys are meeting less and less."
"Cai Patriarch, I heard your Cai Family recently purchased a new mining right from the Prince? This new ore vein seems to have a huge reserve of Spirit Stone! The Cai Family has struck it rich again!"
"Not at all, it’s just a small ore vein," the Cai Family Patriarch humbly waved his hand, but the pride on his face was unmistakable.
...
The council hall was bustling with people talking.
"Dean Weng Guang, I heard that Jing Yan from your Dao Yi Academy is dead? Is this true or false?" Red Lotus Academy’s Dean Tong Bao curiously looked at Weng Guang.
