Rest Assured, There Will Be a Chance
Compared to the enthusiasm of the general public.
Beside Xiang Ge, Xiang Li's reaction was completely calm.
In fact, he didn't even look in Lu Changzhi's direction.
This scene naturally attracted the attention of many people, who reacted in various ways.
"They didn't even look at the other person? Is this a sign of disrespect? That's Senior Lu; this is rather..."
The word "arrogant" is naturally not something I would dare to use.
"This certainly shows a lack of respect; they didn't even glance at it. Indeed, it's difficult for geniuses to have harmonious relationships."
"I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Xiang Li has every right to be arrogant. Besides, Senior Lu fought against the Xiang Clan chief back then but failed to defeat him, so it's understandable that he might look down on him now."
Some people were focused on Xiang Li, while others looked towards Lu Changzhi.
As fellow prodigies of the younger generation, would they accept this situation?
It's likely that the vast majority of exceptional talents would not refuse.
At this moment, Lu Changzhi was somewhat surprised.
If you're not careful, the blame will shift to yourself?
This Xiang Clan is truly restless.
Looking around, Lu Changzhi turned to Xiang Ge and said:
"Don't worry, there will be opportunities, but not now."
Both are fathers, but Xiang Li's paternal love was unexpectedly profound, as he resorted to this method to collect debts.
Qin Han, this leek, was cut by Xiang Li. When Xiang Li can no longer grow, he will definitely cut it himself.
However, now is not the right time.
Standing to the side, Mu Fan looked at Xiang Li with some sympathy after hearing Lu Changzhi's words.
"Having a good father is more important than anything else, but unfortunately, your father's mouth is really... well, since even Master has said so, you're probably going to suffer a lot in the future."
After thinking it over in his heart, Mu Fan couldn't help but feel a little doubtful:
"Could this be because of Junior Brother Xiao? This feels a bit melodramatic."
He was all too familiar with the scenario of a powerful force provoking him and then being publicly humiliated.
The only difference is...
The master clearly couldn't be bothered to argue directly.
And it seems I've been dragged into this myself.
After some thought, Mu Fan understood.
His initial plan was indeed correct; the taller the tree, the more the wind will blow against it, and finding a less conspicuous place to hide is the way to Changzhi in peace.
Like father, like son; he has guts.
Xiang Ge spoke up.
He may not be Lu Yuan's match now, but that doesn't stop his successors from becoming stepping stones for their own successors once again.
For some reason, Xiang Qing suddenly felt a jolt in her heart.
It seems that suddenly some unfavorable cause and effect have occurred.
"Could it be because of this junior?"
Xiang Qing looked at Lu Changzhi, then at Xiang Ge.
For some reason, he had a strong feeling.
It seems the clan chief has said something wrong this time.
However, he didn't sense anything amiss about the boy, and the cause and effect didn't seem to originate from him.
"Is it because of Lu Yuan?"
Xiang Qing was somewhat unsure.
Although Lu Yuan may have indeed reached the Saint Emperor Realm, even so, he is unlikely to pose any real threat to the Xiang Clan.
After all, the Xiang Clan also had veteran Saint Emperor Realm experts, as well as Murong Xi's mother.
Two Saint Emperor.
However, despite thinking this way, Xiang Qing still felt that something was amiss.
However, regardless of the circumstances, the deed had already been done, and cause and effect were irreversible, so Xiang Qing stopped dwelling on it.
After saying that, Xiang Ge looked away and did not speak to Lu Yuan again.
However, as the conversation progressed, the topic of conversation successfully shifted from Lu Yuan's prominence to the relationship between Lu Yuan and the Xiang Clan, or more precisely, between Xiang Li and Lu Changzhi.
"It's intriguing to wonder when this opportunity will arise, and whether the next generation can change the outcome of the previous one's victory."
"Do you think Senior Lu's descendant is a warlike person? I don't quite think so. I always feel that he is taking a different path from Senior Lu. But wouldn't that mean he loses his advantage in cultivation?"
"If there's an opportunity in the future, perhaps in matters related to Shen Wenxi, I will take direct action. However, if I can win, then Xiang Li entire generation will be untenable."
The discussion was quite interesting to all parties, but overall, Xiang Li's reputation still had an overwhelming advantage over Lu Changzhi, who had no notable achievements or news.
However, Lu Changzhi didn't care about any of these things.
His gaze fell upon Lu Yuan, and he smiled as he said:
"There must be a story between you and the Xiang Clan, right?"
Lu Yuan nodded and said:
I apologize for not clarifying your identity earlier.
It's alright.
Lu Changzhi shook his head and smiled:
My identity has always been a mystery, so it's fine to keep it in ambiguity.
After saying that, Lu Changzhi raised his hand, took out a pot of wine, and shook it:
"I have some wine. Shall I listen to the stories of our elders?"
Lu Yuan glanced at Lu Changzhi and smiled. He then took out a wine pot, about the size of seven or eight human heads, placed it on the table in front of him, and said:
Try mine.
Lu Changzhi was pleased.
The Marrow Cleansing Fruit Wine is delicious, but not strong enough.
Strong liquor paired with a story is the perfect match.
Ignoring everyone else present, the group started drinking immediately.
Lu Changzhi also heard Lu Yuan recount some of his past experiences.
I did indeed become a disciple of Xiang Ge back then.
This was also the most crucial match in which he was at the peak of his career and about to achieve a 100-game winning streak.
He could have won that match, but he also couldn't.
The Xiang Clan wanted to elevate Xiang Ge's reputation to a new level.
His previous fame served as the perfect stepping stone.
So, the Xiang Clan approached him.
The Saint Emperor of the Xiang Clan personally intervened to discuss this matter.
There's only one requirement: you can't win, otherwise you can't leave.
He actually doesn't have any special background.
At that time, it would not be an exaggeration to describe the Xiang Clan as a colossal force.
Of course, the Xiang Clan did not have a very strained discussion.
The original agreement was that Xiang Ge should win by a narrow margin.
However, making an agreement is one thing, but putting it into practice is another.
It wasn't until he went on stage amidst the attention of everyone that he realized the venue had also been tampered with.
He gave it his all, but ultimately suffered a crushing defeat.
After that battle, everyone knew how powerful Xiang Ge was.
Countless people lament that those born into humble circumstances, no matter how hard they try, are still worlds apart from top powers like the Xiang Clan.
"Using others to glorify oneself—it seems this is indeed a habitual offense."
Lu Changzhi glanced in the direction of the Academy.
The same principle applies to the matter of the Academy.
"However, you were quite lucky, senior."
Turning his gaze away, Lu Changzhi smiled slightly and looked at Lu Yuan.
"What do you mean?" Lu Yuan was puzzled by Lu Changzhi's intention.
Lu Changzhi smiled:
"Now there just happens to be a disciple who needs to rebel, who can help you vent your anger. Just wait and see."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan smiled and said:
"Thank you very much."
"However, just saying thank you is a bit too much. How about I do a hundred more things for you?"
"Um?"
Lu Changzhi looked at Lu Yuan with a strange expression:
Why do I feel like you're just trying to find an excuse to pester me?
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan looked at Lu Changzhi with a sincere smile:
"May I?"
