This Flattery, I'll Be the First to Offer!

Silence fell again.

The revelation of the answer is always exciting.

However, Duan Bo shook his head and said:

"I came here for this very reason, but since it's Law Contemplation Gathering, according to the rules of the Academy, I cannot interfere. Therefore, I have no way of knowing the details at the moment."

"However, for many years, no one has been able to comprehend and understand the Saint Emperor's legacy. Now, a descendant has surpassed his predecessors, and must be an exceptionally intelligent person."

Everyone secretly regretted this.

They want to know the answer now.

But since they've already said that and mentioned the rules of the Academy, it's probably not possible to know in advance.

However, even so, most forces still harbored some suspicions.

On the field, some eyes were vaguely looking in the direction of the Xiang Clan.

In this matter, it's hard not to connect it with Xiang Li.

After all, they still remembered Xiang Li's attitude earlier.

The other person was the only one at this Law Contemplation Gathering who openly stated that he went there for the sake of the lineage.

"So, that confidence wasn't unfounded."

"Looking back now, if it really was him, I underestimated him. I didn't expect it to be more than just a casual remark."

"The prodigy of the Xiang Clan is truly terrifying. No wonder he's called a genius who can dominate an entire generation. He's accomplished what no one has been able to do for so many years. He's really something!"

Everyone was deeply moved by this.

The Xiang Clan and Xiang Li also began to become the focus of heated discussions.

Throughout the entire process, Xiang Ge did not speak or make any statement. He only paused slightly when Duan Bo appeared, and then a smile appeared on his face.

He knew that Li'er wouldn't let him down.

With one's own understanding and the Dao Comprehension Well Water gained from the well, achieving these things is not difficult.

In situations like these, he doesn't need to appear overly concerned.

Everyone will understand which side's younger generation accomplished these things.

And some people's comments have confirmed his prediction.

Once Li'er obtains the Saint Emperor's inheritance, her earlier late entry will seem insignificant.

As for those few who entered the Academy first, even if it wasn't intentional, would they possibly possess such a rare treasure as Academy Dao Comprehension Well Water?

No.

It's not worth mentioning.

Xiang Ge looked at Meng Yu, whose expression remained quite indifferent.

Xiang Ge chuckled and shook his head.

I hadn't realized before that Meng Yu was so skilled at disguise.

Then let's keep pretending. Once Li'er leaves and things settle down, let's see if we can still be so indifferent!

At this moment, Xia Hai's voice rang out, saying:

"Congratulations, Xiang Clan! We are all envious of having such a son. The Xiang Clan's future development will surely be prosperous and unstoppable!"

The Xiang Clan had previously shown their favor by coming over; now is a perfect opportunity to return the favor.

That's how interactions between powerful forces work.

Either I praise you, or you praise me, or you hit me and I hit you.

Let's take advantage of the moment and offer some flattery, lest the other party use the previous incident as an excuse to do something to their Xia Clan later.

He'd be the first to flatter her!

Xia Hai's words were like a beginning.

From the moment his voice fell.

The Zhou Lineage followed suit, praising the Xiang Clan and Xiang Li to the skies.

Following closely behind were numerous other forces, whose voices of congratulations were also heard incessantly.

For a time, it gave people the feeling that congratulations came from all directions.

The scene was undeniably grand, showcasing the magnificence of a top-tier power, even overshadowing other forces.

Such discussions naturally did not go unnoticed by Duan Bo.

His gaze also turned to Xiang Ge, and he said:

"I have heard of Xiang Li's name. Your Xiang Clan has been thriving for many years, which is truly gratifying."

Duan Bo didn't know much.

In addition to Xiang Li's knowledge, he did indeed have some understanding of it.

These words are quite objective.

These words, however, took on a different meaning in Xiang Ge's ears.

What it represents is self-evident.

At that moment, Xiang Ge responded with a smile:

"Thank you for the praise, Dean Duan. If this was indeed Li'er's doing, the Academy will need to take good care of her in the future."

"That's natural." Duan Bo nodded.

"Those who inherit part of the Saint Emperor's legacy, regardless of whether they are disciples of the Academy, are subject to the Academy's utmost care and attention according to its rules."

The conversation between the two sides shook many small and medium-sized forces.

Many are even considering whether they could try to build closer ties with the Xiang Clan or rely on them.

Judging from the current situation, the further rise of the Xiang Clan seems to be an inevitable trend!

However, not everyone thinks this way.

Some people were still thinking about the three who had entered earlier.

If we only consider the time frame, the first person to enter the main courtyard had entered half the time of Xiang Li, and the difference between them should not be underestimated.

Even if both have the same comprehension ability, it seems more likely that the other party would have half an hour more time than Xiang Li.

Unless, from the very beginning, the other party, like Huang Jiuzhao of the Huang Clan, had no intention of inheriting the legacy of the Myriad Laws Saint Emperor.

According to those who have already come out, only the second and third people did not do so.

The first person seemed to have been sitting before the Saint Emperor's succession from beginning to end.

In this situation, whether Xiang Li truly accomplished this is a question fraught with uncertainty.

Of course, thinking about it is one thing.

We'll only know the full story once the two people involved come out of the situation.

Judging by the timeline, it shouldn't be too long.

As for the present moment, although I think this way, it's still not appropriate to say it out loud.

Disappointment is a minor issue; if it really is Xiang Li in the end, then I'll have offended him.

On the other side, Huang Zhan calmly observed the grand spectacle, his gaze lingering briefly on Xia Hai before he gently shook his head.

"This was done rather hastily; I'm afraid we'll suffer losses."

While it's true that striking first is advantageous, Xia Hai acted far too soon.

They started by directly initiating a trend of flattery.

Xiang Li got it, which is indeed a good thing; she flattered the right person.

If you don't get it, it's like being sarcastic or mocking. Even if you manage to get the bully's egg, you'll be the first to be attacked and will most likely get kicked.

As for whether Xiang Li can get it?

Huang Zhan glanced at Meng Yu and the other powerful figures from the Academy.

His suggestion at the time was to compete solely on strength, and the Huang Clan could help with that.

However, in practice, the Academy ultimately determined that 70% of the evaluation came from the ability to comprehend concepts.

This speaks volumes.

Upon realizing this, Huang Zhan remained silent.

Now is not the time to raise the pot.

The atmosphere is quite lively right now, let the Xiang Clan continue burning for a while.

With that young friend Lu's apprentice there, no matter how you burn it, it shouldn't boil.

He needed to find the most opportune moment to bring up the pot of the Xiang Clan water that wouldn't boil.

Amidst the high expectations and attention from all sides.

As time went by, before long, some of those who had entered the main courtyard earlier began to leave.

The Law Contemplation Gathering was drawing to a close, with the first group of people entering the main courtyard.

Countless people eagerly awaited Xiang Li's appearance.
