Clap clap!
For a moment, applause rose again from all sides.
But this round of applause aligned with most people's expectations, so it was far more enthusiastic, largely filled with blessings. It was clear that Lin Xiaoxiao and Li Tianming, these two special beastmasters, held genuinely different positions in the hearts of these Tai Yu high officials.
