Wang Po was born in Tianliang and was thus no southerner, but because of those grudges he had with the Great Zhou Imperial Court, the people of the south were more than willing to accept him.
As a result, when he became master of Scholartree Manor, he was not confronted with vigilance and hostility, but welcome.
Compared to Su Li, Wang Po had a temperament and character much more amenable to the southerners, was more trustworthy and reliable.
To put it another way, he was far more suitable than Su Li to be the flagbearer of the south, but first, he needed to raise that flag.
All the south had been waiting for the day when he broke through and became Divine, but no one had expected that day to come so soon, so suddenly that no preparations had been made.
Today, his blade had cut through the sky of the capital and raised the flag to let it flap in the wind, and the south finally welcomed its flagbearer.
