At six o'clock in the evening, just as Bai Feng and the others arrived at Fengyan Pavilion by the lake, various prominent families in Fengcheng and major factions from the surrounding provinces still believed that Bai Feng had been taken away by the Military Department, and therefore planned to launch a series of moves.

Now that these two major families had fallen one after another, coupled with the Xu Family—which had just risen to power only to collapse hastily—in the eyes of many families and major factions, Ning Province and Fengcheng were a massive cake waiting to be carved up.
Consequently, the heads of several families and the power-brokers of various factions had been calling each other in private, intending to join forces. To show how much they valued this partnership, almost everyone chose Fengyan Pavilion by the lake as the detailed meeting place, agreeing to head over to Number One Courtyard for a look once the discussions concluded.
