The premise of this alliance is a bit awkward...
Both sides are "rebels," and unlike the conflicts with the Maitreya Sect over doctrinal issues, this alliance seemed quite fitting at first. The discussion should have been about the distribution of benefits, such as whether the Four Symbols Sect could become the National Religion after the Wang Family succeeds and so on...
What ended up being discussed was actually "whether the stuff given to Changhe is really useful."
Wang Zhaoqing thought to himself that we still have to kill Zhao Changhe, so what's the point of whether this stuff is useful or not...
No, that's not right... Xia Chichi's meaning is actually suggesting that the premise of the alliance is the attitude towards Zhao Changhe?
Wang Zhaoqing frowned and asked, "Is this the will of the Vermilion Bird Venerable?"
Xia Chichi smiled slyly, "Indeed, without the word of the Venerable, how can I make decisions on behalf of the Holy Sect?"
