Yao Changhe clearly knew far more about the changes in the city than Liu Changxu did, and Liu Changxu benefited greatly from their conversation!

When Liu Changxu asked roughly how long it would be before the decisive battle, Yao Changhe estimated at least another six months. After all, gathering so many high-ranking cultivators was no easy task.
After discussing the city's affairs, Yao Changhe also explained why he and Zhang Jiuzhen had fought over Elegant Orchid Garden back then.
At the time, both he and Zhang Jiuzhen had heard that Elegant Orchid Garden's owner had fallen in the battle for Blue Coral City. Elegant Orchid Garden was one of the few manors in Many-Treasure City that met a Golden Core True Person's needs.
Thus, Yao Changhe and Zhang Jiuzhen, who had never been on particularly good terms, had fought fiercely over Elegant Orchid Garden. Yao Changhe apologized to Liu Changxu for this!
In response to Yao Changhe's apology, Liu Changxu immediately said:
"Senior Brother Yao, this wasn't your fault. I understand."
