Start of Winter, a continuous drizzly rain.
Yet, within the walls of Jining City, there was a fervent celebratory atmosphere.
This was because yesterday, a decree from the prince in Prince Lu Mansion had been issued: revoke the title of the "Holy Sect" from the Fire Lotus Sect, dissolve it effective immediately, seize all its amassed properties, and return them to the local people of Jining in the coming days.
Naturally, one could imagine the reaction from the common folk.
Perhaps just a day before they hated Zhu He and the Fire Lotus Immortal who supported him to the core, but after this day, in their hearts, Zhu He was seen not as a "reincarnation of a just ruler, loving the people like his children," but at least as someone "capable of correcting his mistakes, mending the fold after losing the sheep."
