Upon hearing this question, Fourth Master was taken aback, and his hands involuntarily clenched into fists.
Seeing that Fourth Master's expression was strange, Hongxuan couldn't help but feel uneasy: "Father, what's wrong?" After all, Mother said it was a political matter; Master Wu refused to answer him and told him to ask his father; and his father's expression after hearing this was like this.
