An Honest Man, Fu Qinghua

There are still many people like Fu Qinghua in this world.

This is a good thing.

So Li Yao couldn't refuse him. "Of course, Mr. Fu. If you have like-minded friends who would like to join, that's fine too. We can study together."

Fu Qinghua immediately laughed, "Very good."

He stood up. "Then I'll go contact some old friends, and I'll leave this place to you."

Watching Fu Qinghua leave in a hurry, Big Sis Feng Li also stood up. "I'm leaving too. You can stay here. Do you need me to bring over the information from your tavern?"

Li Yao: "No need."

He carried those books and his own notes with him at all times. Besides, his living quarters at the Lost Tavern weren't a place just anyone could enter. Once Big Sis Feng Li left,

Li Yao was the only one left in the huge manor villa.

He returned to the floor-to-ceiling window and gazed at the scenery of the Bagua Continent... This world was full of vibrant greenery.

A new beginning will unfold here.

Two days later, under the leadership of Mr. Fu Qinghua, many prominent figures in the field of supernatural cultivation gathered in the provincial capital.

Generally speaking, very few people can have such a strong appeal.

But this time the initiator is Li Yao.

After the Sierra Leone incident, the Maeve Manufacturing press conference, and the Bucharest incident some time ago, Li Yao's reputation has gradually spread, and many bigwigs in China have become aware of Li Yao name.

With Feng Li acting as guarantor and Fu Qinghua taking the lead, some prominent figures in the academic world of supernatural beings, even if they didn't believe Li Yao had the ability to create a system for advancing the cultivation of supernatural beings, still came to see for themselves.

Li Yao himself systematically organized the results of his integration efforts during this period.

In the evening, a few people came to the Shi Sui Pavilion.

Among them were Mr. Fu Qinghua, the true owner of the Shi Sui Pavilion, as well as Guo Changshi and Zhuge Feng, Yun, whom we haven't seen in a long time, accompanied by Big Sis Feng Li.

Upon seeing Li Yao, Zhuge Feng, Yun greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Li."

Li Yao was deeply impressed by this handsome man with squinty eyes. However, Zhuge Feng, Yun did not recognize Li Yao; he recognized "Han Guang, Qingyun Disciple." Therefore, their greetings were somewhat awkward and reserved.

Guo Changshi had met Li Yao before.

But he knew Li Yao's nature... so he simply greeted him to avoid being choked, "Long time no see, Mr. Li."

After exchanging pleasantries,

Li Yao then led them to the tea room.

Upon arriving at the tea room, Fu Qinghua consciously sat behind the tea table and said with a smile, "Let me make tea for everyone."

After drinking the tea to soothe my throat,

Big Sis Feng Li began to speak, saying, "The site selection and construction plan for the academy have already been finalized; it's up to you to choose. By the way, we Wallfacers will be investing in the construction of the academy this time. We can contribute our teaching staff and various resources."

Zhuge Feng, Yun also said, "I hit it off immediately with your esteemed disciple, Mr. Han Guang, and I admire him greatly. Therefore, our Wuhou Sect also hopes to participate in this grand event."

Li Yao: "..."

Don't talk nonsense, we're not that close!

At this moment, Guo Changshi added, "I'm here representing the Artificer Association. We're so familiar with each other, you understand what I mean, right?"

Li Yao politely declined, saying, "I'm sorry, I don't understand."

Guo Changshi: "???"

This is fucking...

This heart-wrenching feeling is still so familiar!

Li Yao was also puzzled...

The framework isn't even fully set up yet and so many people already want to invest? If it were before, Li Yao would definitely be eager for everyone to invest, since there's strength in numbers.

But after the incident with the Full Sky Star Society, Li Yao understood that there is indeed great power in numbers.

However, whether or not one can effectively channel their power into a single area is another matter.

So he said, "I thank you all for your support even though the academy is not yet completed. However, the academy is still in its early stages, and I think I can handle it."

Guo Changshi carefully placed the purple clay teacup down. "Then remember to let me know if you need anything."

He was afraid that Li Yao would continue to criticize him.

He still vividly remembers how that "charge by the day" comment had really offended him back then! Zhuge Feng, Yun narrowed his eyes, a faint smile playing on his handsome face, "Then I'd like to stay here and become a teacher at your esteemed school. Is that alright?"

Li Yao smiled and said, "I can make that decision for you."

After everyone finished speaking,

Fu Qinghua then said, "Originally, I was thinking of gathering some old friends to form an academic seminar group, but I didn't expect it to spread so much that now scholars from many different schools of thought are gathered in the provincial capital. With so many people, the voices become mixed, so the original seminar group model may not work. Mr. Li, how about we hold an academic seminar first?"

Li Yao asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

Guo Changshi leaned back in his chair and said quietly, "Many people think you are too inexperienced."

Li Yao: "..."

He immediately understood what was going on.

Although everyone has the heart to do something for the public, it is hard to say how to do it or who should do it.

Everyone has their own selfish motives, right? Now that Li Yao is stepping forward to take the lead in this matter, even if he has some ideas and creativity, some people are not happy about letting a young man take the lead in this.

Fu Qinghua said, "It's also my fault. I thought it was a good thing, so I didn't keep it a secret."

Guo Changshi sneered, "Some old fogies think you're a young upstart, and even if you're capable, you're only good for a few tricks. They want to test your mettle first."

Li Yao: "???"

He thought for a moment and then asked Guo Changshi and Big Sis Feng Li, "Is it because I've been keeping a low profile for too long that many people don't know who I am anymore?"

Do you think they can just inspect me, Boss Li, whenever they want? Big Sis Feng Li: "..."

Guo Changshi: "..."

Without waiting for their reply, Li Yao said to Fu Qinghua, "Go back and tell them that they don't need to be tested. I won't let them play here."

Everyone: "..."

very good,

This is so Li Yao!

Guo Changshi nodded to himself; this mother was indeed the Li Yao he knew!

But watching him criticize others right now is really quite satisfying! If only it weren't for him! Thinking about how he used to be so angry with this guy that he wanted to punch the wall, Guo Changshi felt very melancholy.

Fu Qinghua is a rather honest and straightforward person. His intention in gathering his old friends was to do something.

But unexpectedly, someone jumped out to cause trouble...

Do you really think honest people have no temper?

Fu Qinghua took out his phone and connected it to the huge 4K LCD screen in the tea room, projecting his phone screen onto the screen and saying, "Then I'll refuse them now."

As he spoke,

Fu Qinghua opened WeChat on his phone and clicked on a group chat called "Esper Cultivation Method Popularization Seminar Group".

He sent a message inside saying, "I've spoken with Mr. Li Yao."

Immediately,

The group chat was flooded with messages!

This is the second update. I hope you enjoy reading it.
