In the grand hall, the auspicious time was nearly upon them, and the ceremony was about to begin.
However, Hou Shaoyi stood beside Li Yuanzhong and transmitted his voice using True Qi:
"Master, Governor Jiang hasn't sent anyone here…"
It was both reasonable and customary for the Governor to show some acknowledgement when the greatest Sect within his jurisdiction had a cause for celebration, at the very least by sending someone to attend.
The current silence was quite thought-provoking.
Many of the guests had already noticed that something was amiss and began whispering amongst themselves.
Dwelling on it was futile, so Li Yuanzhong decided to proceed with the ceremony first.
Just then, he frowned and looked toward the mountain gate.
After a moment, the disciple on duty at the entrance of the great hall suddenly shouted:
"Master Shen Siang has arrived!"
