Xu Tianyao did not immediately answer Wang Qiangu's questioning. Instead, he continued to look at him calmly.
"If my guess is correct..."
"The compensation Shrek Academy gave the Wang Family this time may appear to be soul bones and cultivation resources, but those are probably not what truly matters."
"What truly matters is that Shrek Academy will step in to help the Wang Family coordinate with the various powers, allowing the Wang Family to gain more room for development within the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Am I right?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Qiangu fell silent.
Because Xu Tianyao was right.
Although things like soul bones and resources were precious, they were not the most important things for a top-tier clan like the Wang Family.
What was truly valuable was Shrek Academy's influence among the royal families and great clans of the Three Great Empires.
With Shrek Academy stepping in to mediate, many problems that had originally been difficult to solve would become far easier, whether it was reallocating resources, expanding, or annexing others. Shrek Academy appeared not to interfere in the politics of the Three Great Empires, but in reality, many of their decisions were heavily influenced by Shrek Academy.
That was also why, after learning that his grandson had been severely injured, he had not chosen to lash out in fury. Instead, he had chosen to trade his dignity and his grandson's suffering for Shrek Academy's support.
The fact that Xu Tianyao could infer all this showed that the intelligence network in this young man's hands had reached an utterly terrifying level.
He could even accurately grasp the tangled interests among the major powers within the Heaven Dou Empire.
This made Wang Qiangu extremely wary.
Just how far had the Sun Moon Empire's infiltration into the Heaven Dou Empire gone?
