Mei County.
Governor Mansion.
Governor Li Xin stood respectfully beside Song Lin.
Song Lin flipped through the documents, occasionally asking a question, which the governor promptly answered.
Li Xin hailed from the cultivator Li family. Cultivators generally lived long lives, and families often spanned hundreds of years, with descendants—including branch family members—numbering in the tens of thousands.
Li Xin was one such descendant. Although he rarely mingled with his family, there were always excuses to intervene whenever something arose.
Now was one of those times.
Song Lin sought him out, learned that his ancestors were leading the initiative, and Li Xin wasted no time aligning himself with them.
Soon, the governors of the other five counties arrived, escorted by Taoists.
In addition, commanders, military leaders, and others from each county were present.
