"I… have a solution," the Seer declared, rising from his seat, his arm thrown outward, palm aimed at the heavens, exuding an aura of authority.
A ripple of awe coursed through the crowd.
"Haaa! It's him! The wisest of the Nine—he… he has a solution!"
"I see it too!"
"Yes! I wonder what the solution is…"
"It must be a grand solution, one that will change all our fates—and the fate of the very province itself!"
The murmurs reached fever pitch, each word laced with reverence.
"Look! The strongest of the Nine is also rising! This moment—it's so legendary!"
"Enough," Cao Tang growled, following the Seer's lead as he stood up, his presence as commanding as a raging tempest.
"The strongest of the Nine… HE SAID HE'S HAD ENOUGH! OOOO!"
"This is a moment I never thought I'd witness!"
"He's had enough of this province's miserable destiny. Long live Xianghu!"
