"It's about to start, this mouth..."
In Feng Family City of the Southern Region, on the First Viewing Platform.
Hallmaster Dao, with his sleeves down, stood amidst a crowd teeming with dragons and fish, unnoticed by anyone.
Adjacent was a cacophony of heated discussions.
Some were discussing Lord Shou's philosophy, deducing his current personal stance.
Others looked further, interpreting the relationship between Lord Shou and Hallmaster Dao, speculating the extent of their good terms.
Here and now, only a very small minority still supported Hallmaster Dao, dismissing the so-called "Puppet Manipulation Thread" and "Divine Secret" as slanders by Lord Shou and calling for Hallmaster Dao to step forward and clarify.
In normal times, Hallmaster Dao would undoubtedly join in their idle chatter, expressing his own viewpoints.
But now, he merely smiled wryly, without engaging in conversation.
There was no way to clarify!
