Fang Shuo did not appear among the onlookers, and he did not even hold a seeing-off ceremony for Southern Heavenly Sect.
His attitude was very clear.
He did not consider Southern Heavenly Sect as one of his own.
When he came to deliver the imperial edict last time, he already understood that he and Li Zhongnan had parted ways.
After Southern Heavenly Sect left, Fang Shuo immediately sought an audience with His Majesty.
Inside the grand hall of the Taihua Dynasty's royal palace, the emperor listened to Fang Shuo's report with a sullen face and after a long time, spoke, "Did he really say that?"
Fang Shuo bowed his head in response, "Your Majesty, Li Zhongnan cannot remain."
