Moon Gazing Tower.
After Zhao Cheng and Shi Yi left, Li Yunzhi's expression instantly darkened.
Ever since Zhao Cheng and Shi Yi had refused one after the other, his face had not looked good. Still, while they were present, he had kept up appearances. Once the two left, he no longer bothered pretending.
"Hmph, every last one of them refuses a toast only to drink a forfeit!"
Li Yunzhi slammed his palm heavily onto the table.
He had never expected things to go so poorly.
"We came back too late. Wei Shan must have embroidered the situation at the martial arts school when he told them about it, which is why they reacted like this."
"Forget it. Neither of them is particularly strong, so they would not have helped us much anyway."
Tao Xinning spoke to comfort him.
When the two of them had first joined Anhe Martial Arts School, they had not chosen to attach themselves to anyone from the Core Court either. Instead, they had wanted to rely on their own efforts to become members of the Core Court.
Only as they remained at Anhe Martial Arts School longer and longer, faced bottlenecks in their martial cultivation and grew older by the day, had they chosen to seek out someone to lean on.
Their circumstances were different. Zhao Cheng had arrangements from his family, and the road he would take in the future was very clear.
As for Shi Yi, just as he had said, he was still young and had plenty of time. Naturally, he wanted to rely on his own efforts to become a member of the Core Court rather than attach himself to someone from it.
