Chapter 704 The Puppet Master

• The Shi family has been stationed in this area for years, managing their own headquarters and avoiding contact with other noble families for various reasons.
• Currently, among the various noble families, the Shi family is considered to be towards the lower end in terms of overall strength.
• If they were to face the emerging power of the Song family at this time, it would not be favorable for them. Even though they are not afraid of the other party, they are not willing to confront them at the moment.
