Hou Yuxiao's tone was as domineering as his words. He seemed to have clarified some thoughts, suddenly unleashing his full aura, his brows sweeping across the audience. His words seemed not only directed at Shen Gufan but to everyone present that day.
His gaze was extremely aggressive. He did not even spare the four Yuan Dan Realm experts, including Wan Renjue.
Everyone felt a hint of displeasure rise in their hearts, including Wan Renjue. However, they also noticed that Hou Yuxiao had suddenly changed, precisely after Shen Gufan had made friendly gestures. Some clever individuals had already grasped the situation, a glint flashing in their eyes, while those who were confused remained puzzled.
Even Hou Yucheng and the other two were somewhat perplexed at this moment. They all turned their gaze toward Hou Yuduan who seemed to have understood the situation. Hou Yucheng asked in a volume loud enough for the four of them to hear, "Old Fifth, what's going on?"
