Everyone turned to look at Ye Xiwen, wondering how he would react. Yet Ye Xiwen seemed not to have seen anything at all. He merely smiled and said, "Then let today's Dao Discussion Assembly begin!"
"The purpose of today's discussion is to exchange insights, share what we have, and pass some of our experience on to everyone!" Ye Xiwen said. The "everyone" he referred to naturally meant those eagerly waiting outside the tavern.
When the people outside the tavern truly heard Ye Xiwen say this, they immediately developed a favorable impression of him. Watching both sides battle had given them some experience and insight, but how could that compare to personally hearing so many young masters expound upon the Dao?
Though these people were merely experts of the younger generation, their cultivation was not inferior even to that of many older masters. They could be called martial arts grandmasters of the present age.
Especially Zhao Dingfang, Ding Butong, and the others, who had long since entered the Celestial Realm. That was an entirely different realm. If they could share some cultivation experience, it would naturally be of immense benefit when it came to breaking into the Celestial Realm in the future.
Invisibly, this also caused many people to feel warmly toward Ye Xiwen. There had been rumors some time ago about how overbearing Ye Xiwen was and how disdainful he was of the Heavenly Rain Palace's experts. Now, however, those rumors seemed like utter nonsense. They did not know exactly what kind of person he was, but the earlier rumors were clearly complete bullshit.
