Xiang Ge: The Show Has Only Just Begun
"Like a rat's son, he knows how to dig a hole."
On the platform, Mu Fan glanced at Xiang Li.
This guy is just like Xiang Ge from earlier; his speech is lacking.
His arrogant attitude made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
He's just a prodigy of the Xiang Clan, descended from two Holy Saint Emperor.
It's not just that there are always people better than you, or heavens beyond heavens.
Right now, there's this unfathomable master right beside me.
This scene looked rather ridiculous.
Mu Fan shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Once that Xiao Clan takes action, the outcome will surely be clear.
Meng Yu did not continue the conversation after receiving Xiang Li's response.
After all, if a single sentence kills the conversation, it's not appropriate to continue.
Afterwards, Meng Yu mentioned some relevant rules and requirements.
On the other side, Shen Wenxi also sat down again, still somewhat aloof, but secretly feeling a sense of relief.
This kind of occasion is the most troublesome, as there are many things to consider, which makes one appear rather reserved.
However, they have finally begun to address this most troublesome issue.
The matter of marriage is not a simple matter of comparing good and bad choices.
She understands these things.
While directly rejecting the Xiang Clan would be the easiest option, she couldn't ignore the subsequent consequences and the Xiang Clan's reaction.
Over the years, Meng Yu and the elders at the Academy have treated her well, so how could she possibly ignore them?
This solution, too, is not the best option.
She did have a good feeling about Kong Mu, mainly because they could talk to each other and had a very pleasant conversation. However, the idea of marriage seemed very far away.
Of course, the most important thing is that this will involve the other person, making them bear the pressure that should belong to her.
True friends are hard to find, and rare to encounter, yet they are given difficult tasks—what kind of logic is that?
However, given the circumstances, we can only choose the lesser of two evils.
True freedom and unrestraint have always been difficult to achieve.
On the other side.
Xiang Ge was equally aware of Meng Yu's earlier statement.
The Academy must have something to rely on, otherwise it wouldn't have made such a claim.
It was nothing more than a deliberate act, seemingly expressing hope but actually secretly rejecting it, and using this statement and the influence of the Academy to limit the Xiang Clan's plans towards Shen Wenxi.
Academy is, after all, Academy; it won't do anything unreasonable.
But what the Xiang Clan sought was not merely Shen Wenxi.
He had even used the precious Dao Comprehension Well Water, and coupled with Xiang Li's own talent, he was very confident.
These tricks of the Academy are nothing but feeble schemes that cannot change anything.
The real show has only just begun.
People from all directions have gathered at the Academy, which is precisely the opportunity for my son Xiang Li to display his talents and gather strength!
After Meng Yu finished explaining the relevant requirements...
The real ceremony only begins Law Contemplation Gathering.
The Law Contemplation Gathering must precede the engagement ceremony.
Seventy percent of the determinations in a marriage contract are made through the Law Contemplation Gathering.
The first half of the Law Contemplation Gathering consists of preaching and contemplation.
This process will last for several days, depending on the specific circumstances.
Initially, the powerful figures of the Academy would preach the Dharma, allowing practitioners from all walks of life to study and comprehend it.
The powerful from all sides can also participate and take this opportunity to share their own methods for all practitioners to comprehend.
Doing so did not bring any substantial benefits.
However, it is an opportunity to enhance one's prestige, so powerful figures from all sides usually participate in preaching.
As the sermon began, everyone fell silent.
Only the preacher remains, standing on the preaching platform, speaking of his own understanding of a certain Dharma, using the special nature of the preaching platform to be listened to by the thousands present.
Lu Changzhi's mind stirred.
On the other side, an area was isolated by an illusion array.
Then, the head, which is used for meditation and enlightenment, is placed inside.
After that, his attention returned to the important matter at hand.
Find a suitable person to take on as an apprentice.
This is not a difficult task.
His External Avatar is among the crowd below.
Although the system's exploration range cannot cover the entire area of Law Contemplation Gathering, the overall situation is clear thanks to the movement of the External Avatar and the main body's overview of the entire process from mid-air.
As for the specific search, it is not difficult in comparison.
All you need to do is have your External Avatar walk to a certain place, pause briefly, and let the system only display information about people who have the system, excluding your own disciples.
Having a system is the biggest limitation, but also the most convenient screening method.
However, the method is relatively easy.
But the rewards were even greater...
Nothing was gained.
I spent the whole morning exploring the surrounding area.
Almost no one left, and in the end, it was completely empty.
"Could it be that this time they're recruiting someone with advanced cultivation?"
An idea flashed through Lu Changzhi's mind.
Law Contemplation Gathering does indeed have different levels of appeal to practitioners of different strengths; generally, the stronger the practitioner, the less appealing it becomes.
When one reaches the level of Saint or even Saint Venerable, most cultivators have mastered what they are good at, and are no longer like those in previous realms, where everything they see is of great benefit.
"If it's really that strong, it would be a good thing for improving our strength."
Thinking to himself, Lu Changzhi gently shook his head.
If that's the case, then the gains from this trip seem rather limited.
I may not be able to complete the task of taking on apprentices during this opportunity.
Putting his thoughts aside, Lu Changzhi looked up at the sky, then turned to look at Luo Ling'er beside him.
Luo Ling'er was quite serious, no longer like before, but like a girl who had entered a private school, sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed and listening attentively.
"Master, are you getting sleepy?"
Mu Fan's voice came from the side.
Lu Changzhi glanced at Mu Fan, shook his head and smiled:
"It seems you didn't listen at all."
Mu Fan shook his head:
"It's like chanting a spell. I sit here, and when he starts talking, it's more effective at putting me to sleep than anything else. You can't blame me for that."
After a pause, Mu Fan chuckled and said:
"Our esteemed master has led us in; if we don't show off, who will? Come, master, it's noon. Let them listen carefully; we, master and disciple, should get down to business."
As he spoke, Mu Fan took out the food he had prepared in advance, one serving for each of them.
Lu Changzhi gave Mu Fan an approving look:
"Alright, kid, you've got the hang of it."
Just as he finished speaking, Lu Yuan turned around, looked at Lu Changzhi, and said:
I want to do it too.
Lu Changzhi looked at Mu Fan, who was somewhat surprised:
"So, the senior isn't planning to learn either?"
Despite his words, Mu Fan still took out a meal.
Lu Yuan took the food and said:
"If even someone as wise as your master won't listen, then what he's saying is worthless. In that case, I won't listen either. I'll just follow your master; that's sure to be right."
After speaking, Lu Yuan glanced at Lu Changzhi and gave him a thumbs up.
Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but shake his head and said:
"Senior, this sudden praise can't be without reason, can it?"
Lu Yuan placed the food in front of him, rubbed his hands together, and said:
"Is there any meat left? I want some."
