Gossip? Scandal?

In front of the passageway leading to the players' lounge, there is a slightly spacious area.

That's the area for reporters.

The Star Wars Festival is, after all, the world's grandest event, with extraordinary significance. There are countless examples of people becoming famous or even making a fortune through this event, and the audience is spread all over the world. Naturally, reporters will not miss such an opportunity and will try to conduct interviews.

Therefore, interview areas are set up in medium-sized and larger stages, where most reporters wait to interview popular contestants and winners of the competition.

Therefore, when Fang Li and Cecily walked out of the passage, a large group of reporters immediately swarmed around them.

The flashbulbs immediately enveloped Fang Li and Cecily.

The reporters' chatter also began to rise.

"Cecily - Royal Selection, please look over here!"

"Royal Selection, could you please answer my question?"

"Royal Selection!"

"Cecily Royal Selection!"

One by one, the voices of reporters rang out, turning into noise. Cecily scratched her head and said somewhat impatiently, "Sorry, I'm a little tired. If you have any questions, you can ask my junior brother."

"Huh?" Fang Li was just about to stay out of it when he was immediately stunned by Cecily's words.

Unfortunately, Cecily had already successfully shifted the focus of her gun, drawing all the attention of the reporters to Fang Li.

"Contestant Fang, I heard you are a disciple of ' Myriad Heavenly Net '. Are you partnering with Contestant Cecily - Royal Selection in this competition because your skills have been recognized by your master?"

"If that's the case, can we assume that your strength is still above that of your senior brother Zhao Hufeng?"

"I heard that you haven't had a duel since you joined the Realm Dragon. What's the reason for that?"

"So it really is because of Jielong's strategy of hiding information about powerful players?"

One question after another reached Fang Li's ears, causing Fang Li to frown slightly and feel somewhat helpless.

While it's true that contestants can decline interviews with the excuse of "no comment," the Star Wars Festival is an event designed to please the public. If contestants consistently refuse interviews, reporters will inevitably write all sorts of things about them, ultimately leading to a decline in their public image.

In that case, it doesn't matter.

After all, Fang Li didn't care about reputation at all.

However, if the rating drops, the Star Wars Festival's organizing committee will arrange opponents who can improve the rating and showcase intense battles to the contestant whose rating has dropped in order to reignite the atmosphere.

Therefore, if Fang Li refuses to be interviewed here, his opponent in the next match may become a formidable foe.

Fang Li didn't want to face a strong opponent before even entering the official competition schedule.

Therefore, Fang Li could only answer them one by one.

"Partnering with Senior Sister Wang was indeed Master's order."

"Senior Brother Zhao's strength is now on a completely different level compared to when he participated in the competition last time. Even Master praised him highly."

"There's no duel because I need to focus on training; after all, I'm only a beginner."

"Jielong is a martial arts academy. Our master often teaches us that martial arts practitioners should follow the good and be open to good advice. We don't know exactly how the academy arranges things. We just hope to do our best in the competition."

He answered each question in turn without revealing too much information or giving anyone cause for criticism, which made Cecily nod in approval.

Until one of the reporters raised his hand and asked this question.

"Since Player Fang trains diligently and hasn't even had a duel, does he not have any entertainment in his spare time?"

"No, that's not true." Fang Li replied reflexively, "I can relax when I need to, and I've been to Sylvia's concert before."

One sentence was enough to set the entire group of journalists on the edge of their seats.

"Sylvia? Could it be Sylvia Runeheim?"

"Is Fang a fan of ' Law-Witch '?"

"Could it be that Contestant Fang participated in the ' Phoenix Star Martial Festival ' to attract the attention of the Diva Princess?"

"Contestant Fang, please answer our questions!"

The reporters' enthusiasm suddenly swelled even more than before.

Fang Li then realized what was happening and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

These reporters are incredibly sharp. Knowing they couldn't get much compelling news, they immediately turned to gossip and scandals. It's unbelievable.

However, Fang Li's eyes darted around again, and he remembered the songstress who liked to tease him. A smile immediately crept onto his lips.

Fang Li then gave this answer.

"Sylvia Lyyneheym and I are old friends, so I should go and support her."

That one sentence led to a huge uproar later on.

In the Battle City, at this very moment, every corner has a giant spatial window broadcasting an interview live.

That wasn't the previous interview with Fang Li, but rather an interview with Sylvia.

At the opening ceremony of the "Phoenix Star Martial Festival", Student Council President from each academy are obligated to attend.

Although Fan Xinglu did not attend the event, she also sent a proxy to represent her.

The Student Council President from the other schools all attended the opening ceremony.

Including Sylvia.

Because of this, after Fang Li's interview came out, Sylvia immediately received an interview as well.

After all, she's a world-class singer. Now that her whereabouts are known, there's no reason why she wouldn't be targeted by reporters.

However, because of Fang Li, Sylvia naturally mentioned Fang Li in her interview.

When faced with reporters' questions, Sylvia simply responded with a flawless smile.

"Fang Li is indeed my friend, and we have a pretty good relationship."

This caused Fang Li's reputation to soar.

Before the competition, Fang Li was an unknown student. During the competition, he didn't even make a move, had very little information about him, and had a very small reputation. But after this incident, Fang Li's reputation became even higher than that of the popular contestants, and he made headlines one after another.

People began to speculate about the relationship between Fang Li and Sylvia, completely forgetting about Fang Li's strength, which inadvertently helped Fang Li hide a lot of information.

However, Fang Li also suffered a great misfortune.

"Junior brother! What on earth is going on?!"

In the players' lounge at the Sirius Dome, Zhao Hufeng was closing in on Fang Li.

"When did you meet Miss Sylvia? Why don't I know about this?"

As he said this, Zhao Hufeng grabbed Fang Li's neck and shook him repeatedly, almost making Fang Li's eyes roll back.
