Bai Youwei, upon hearing this news, had one immediate thought: Fu Miaoxue and Du Lai were up to no good again!
Otherwise, she really couldn't understand why, as equally a King and with a much higher prestige than Fu Miaoxue, everyone preferred to be Fu Miaoxue's subjects and ignored her?
It made no sense at all.
Shen Mo also sensed something wrong and went to look for Chu Huaijin, who evaded by professing ignorance.
But there weren't many people at the base, and the news couldn't be hidden. Bai Youwei and Shen Mo soon heard rumors that the base would only support King Fu Miaoxue in the future.
A few individuals chosen by Shen Mo had been summoned by Chu Huaijin for private talks, without Bai Youwei and Shen Mo's knowledge, asking them to abandon Bai Youwei and shift their allegiance to Fu Miaoxue.
Bai Youwei found this information utterly baffling—what kind of spell had Fu Miaoxue cast on Chu Huaijin?
