Mouth is also a weapon
Li Yong looked at the Li family disciples who had just completed their Awakening nearby, and for a moment, he couldn't help but fall into a trance.
At this moment, the Li family disciples' Faces were filled with various different emotions.
There were disciples with good talents who were cheering and jumping for joy, waving their hands and feet, expressing their inner happiness to the outside world.
They were all smiling, triumphant, wishing the whole world knew about their excellent talent, and at the same time, feeling fortunate for their superior talent.
However, another group of Li family disciples formed a stark contrast.
“They were full of Death Qi, yet they were clearly in their prime youth, but they were like an old tree, without a trace of Life Qi.”
Each of them looked dejected, as if they had eaten a dead rat, their Faces extremely ugly.
Their expressions also changed constantly, sometimes vexed, sometimes anxious, and the surroundings were eerily quiet; they tacitly agreed that no one was willing to make a sound.
“It seemed that only when the world became silent would their hearts calm down a bit.”
Li Yong recalled various past events: “How could I have ever imagined such a day would come?”
“The lowly fourth-grade talent in others' eyes ultimately survived that war and even became their high and mighty Foundation Establishment; fate truly plays tricks on people.”
“In fact, what truly restricts a person's achievements is often not talent, but rather their mindset….”
If these disciples with low talent give up on themselves due to just a little setback, then their fate will undoubtedly be tragic….
Because of Li Shaojie, all the Elders went to discuss the matter, allowing the disciples to return on their own first.
..................
On the way back, Li Yunxiao always brought up his talent, wanting the whole world to know that his talent was excellent!
Everyone was flattering him, but the silent Li Tan stood out.
When Li Yunxiao saw that Li Tan completely ignored him and didn't even offer a single word of flattery, he felt annoyed and at the same time thought of Li Tan as someone who was.
“Extremely foolish, not even understanding basic social etiquette; he truly has been spoiled by Grand Elder!”
As for what others thought? Perhaps it was the same as Li Yunxiao.
However, Li Yunxiao had no intention of letting Li Tan off, his tone carrying a natural sense of superiority, then he slowly spoke.
“Seventh Brother, I observe that everyone's talents measured this time are all excellent. After this, how about we host a banquet and drink together?”
Facing such a thick-skinned Elder brother like Li Yunxiao, Li Tan was quite helpless for a moment, but he still tactfully declined.
“I appreciate Elder Brother's kind intentions, but I have urgent matters to attend to, so I'm afraid we can only gather next time.”
Li Yunxiao secretly disdained Li Tan in his heart for being naive and inexperienced, simply a rich young master fresh out of the gate!
Li Yunxiao stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point: “Seventh Brother still doesn't understand Elder Brother's painstaking efforts. After the results of this talent test, the dynamics within the Li family disciples will change!”
“Your Elder Brother is gathering all of you younger brothers and sisters to discuss this very matter.”
Li Tan naturally understood what Li Yunxiao was thinking; he simply believed his talent surpassed everyone else's and that he would surely be the leader in the future.
Li Tan had no time to bother with Li Yunxiao, merely giving him a perfunctory response.
Looking at the unyielding Li Tan before him, the resentment in Li Yunxiao's heart seemed to materialize; he tried his best to suppress himself.
But then he found himself getting angrier the more he thought about it!
Li Yunxiao spoke bluntly, his words sharp, completely like a shrew, pointing at Li Tan's nose and shouting loudly!
“Li Yasi! I'm giving you Face by calling you Seventh Brother, but don't push your luck and disregard us!”
“Now that your talent is only Medium Grade Third Rank, do you perhaps think Grand Elder will still favor you in the future?”
Faced with Li Yunxiao's direct and undisguised scolding, if it were a hot-blooded man, he would surely engage him in a fierce war of words right there.
In the subsequent section of the road, Li Tan also joined “them” and began to flatter Li Yunxiao. Li Yunxiao saw Li Tan's change in attitude.
He couldn't help but praise, “A wise man knows when to submit to circumstances.”
Of course, Li Tan was merely avoiding trouble; confronting and reasoning with such an overbearing Immortal Second Generation was not advisable.
As Li Tan's flattery began, Li Yunxiao was initially somewhat resistant, but as time passed, he only felt more comfortable listening to it.
He felt as if he were floating, as if he had truly become the leader among the crowd.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Tan also began to try and swindle Li Yunxiao out of some money, as these Immortal Second Generations were generally quite foolish and naive.
Li Tan's Face showed bitterness, and he was completely immersed in a state of gloom and sorrow, finally sighing repeatedly, his brows furrowed together.
Li Tan's change naturally did not escape everyone's eyes, and for a moment, they all asked Li Tan: “What happened? What has made Seventh Brother so downcast?”
At this moment, Li Tan was even more ashamed, speaking haltingly.
After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: “To be honest with all Elder Brothers and Elder Sister, it's not that Yasi doesn't appreciate Brother Yunxiao's kindness, but rather that I truly have a hidden difficulty.”
At this point, Li Tan was already in tears, continuously pouring out the grievances in his heart to everyone present.
Li Tan was seen gasping with sobs, tears and snot flowing, and his voice was even more desolate as he said: “All Elder Brothers and Elder Sister, my Pan'er was killed by villains! Now her remains are still in their hands, and they are extorting a large sum of Spirit Stones from me!”
“I hate them! I wish I could eat their flesh! Drink their blood! I will never rest until I have avenged myself against them!!!”
“I beg all Elder Brothers and Elder Sister, please lend Yasi some Spirit Stones, Yasi will surely repay you handsomely in the future.”
When everyone saw the usually high and mighty Li Yasi looking so disheveled, and then thought about why Grand Elder Li Yong had made things difficult for the Grand Elder?
Suddenly, all the truth became clear.
They also had their own concerns, but Li Yasi was now, after all, a favorite in front of Grand Elder Li Yong; just a few Spirit Stones could earn Li Yasi a significant favor.
Li Yunxiao, however, thought a bit more than them; he believed he was the outstanding one among the crowd.
Naturally, he had to show the proper demeanor and care for his younger brothers and sisters; only then would it be more beneficial to win people's hearts.
No matter how he looked at it, it was a profitable deal!
Initially, they still had some anxiety, but with Li Yunxiao's lead, everyone lent Li Tan a considerable amount of Spirit Stones.
Li Tan looked at the Spirit Stones filling his storage ring; initially, there were twenty thousand, but now it had surpassed the forty thousand mark, and the cost was merely a bit of smooth talk!!
Can it be said that Li Yunxiao and the others are foolish? From a third-person perspective, they certainly are foolish.
“But everyone believes they are right….”
“The mouth is also a weapon! And it is a top-tier Magic Treasure with an extremely high ceiling!”
“A person's two eyes are parallel, yet they can look at people unequally….”
