After a round of conversation, Li Ye finally understood why these senior brothers and sisters had been eyeing him like tigers stalking prey—so it was still all because of that Gourd Oil.
With the unanimous approval of several True Persons, they were actually going to establish a hall specifically for him. Any special Spirit Materials produced would be jointly researched and used by the senior and junior brothers within the hall.
That was why these senior brothers and sisters wanted to cozy up to him. After all, a pavilion close to the water caught the moonlight first.
Heaven knew how strange his expression had been when he heard the news.
But after thinking it over carefully, he no longer felt much pressure.
Since the True Persons believed his Gourd Oil and the Spirit Materials it produced were worth such a price, was he supposed to belittle himself or modestly say, "No, no need"?
That would truly have been taking humility too far.
Once he understood these senior brothers' intentions in drawing close to him, he politely declined some matters and obediently pretended that he would follow all of the True Persons' arrangements.
What a joke. He did not want to get tangled up in this sort of struggle either. Even if the struggle existed because he was important, he absolutely wanted no part of it. Who knew whether there were complicated connections hidden behind it all?
If he got along well with these senior brothers and sisters in the future, then they could drink tea and discuss the Dao. If not, then so be it.
Seeing Li Ye's firm attitude, the senior brothers and sisters roughly understood the reason. They were all clever enough to stop pressing the matter and changed the subject to the construction of Island 5632.
