Hearing Sui Xiong's words, the Goddess of Wealth's previously relaxed expression immediately froze.
"Another war?" she asked uncertainly. "Haven't they already split apart? The merchant faction is in the north and the noble faction is in the south. They can't even run into each other—how are they supposed to fight?"
