Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Why are you always such a troublemaker?
"What are you talking about?" the one-eyed man asked.
This was what he wanted to know most. Li Guofeng had left the world leaders hanging and was showing the Starry Sky Clans around. This was definitely not a simple sightseeing tour; there must be a purpose behind it.
"To be honest, don't we have a pretty good relationship?" Wu Sheng asked.
"Yes, indeed, we do," the one-eyed man replied. "We've cooperated several times, and it's always been pleasant."
This was precisely what Wu Sheng wanted to hear. He needed allies, needed to maintain good relationships. If he didn't know about Lin Fan's existence, honestly, no one on this planet would catch his eye.
They were all too weak. They had no voice in the starry sky.
Although the Wu Clan was considered a large clan, the starry sky was extremely dangerous, and conflicts between clans were common. One day, you might see a clan flourishing, and the next day, it could be reduced to ruins.
He knew Lin Fan's strength.
Although this kind of friendly relationship was based on strength, under circumstances of unequal power, it was difficult to integrate into this circle. Even if he forced his way in, he would become the lowest-ranking member, everyone's slave, running errands for everyone. It might seem like they were trying to make him feel included,
But in reality, everyone would think, You have no status in our circle; you can only do the work of a follower.
"Sigh, things aren't looking good," Wu Sheng sighed. "That guy from your planet, that Li Guofeng, wants to sell all of you off."
"What do you mean?" The one-eyed man's expression turned grave.
Old Master Xu, who wasn't familiar with Wu Sheng, could only listen. He left the communication to the one-eyed man. As the head of the General Department, he wasn't even familiar with the Starry Sky Clans. The thought was quite hurtful.
Wu Sheng continued, "From what I just overheard, this Li Guofeng wants to establish a Starry Sky Clan Alliance Academy. He talks about mutual learning and shared prosperity. The way I see it, this is just a way to supply slaves to the Starry Sky Clans. This kind of scheme is welcomed by all the Starry Sky Clans."
"For example, in the starry sky territory controlled by my clan, there are many planets, and these planets have many precious resources. What they lack is manpower for mining. Your planet doesn't lack people, so sending them over would provide free labor."
"This can't happen. If it does, your planet has no future."
"This is my advice to you, as a friend."
The one-eyed man and Old Master Xu exchanged glances, shock evident in their eyes. For them, Wu Sheng had already spelled it out. If they still didn't understand, they'd truly lived in vain.
"We must stop this."
"It will be difficult." Old Master Xu was deeply worried. The current situation was beyond their control. The public held expectations for the Starry Sky Clans. What was even more concerning was that the current academy admissions prioritized those with talent. Some ordinary people lacked talent and would struggle to achieve anything even if they entered the academy.
But since Li Guofeng wanted to establish this Alliance Academy with the Starry Sky Clans,
He must have made preparations.
Wu Sheng suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right, let me tell you something. Many of the Starry Sky Clans here have the approval of their elders. These clans agree with the establishment of the Alliance Academy. Stopping it won't be easy."
He had said all he needed to say.
He glanced at Lin Fan.
This was the key to their planet's survival among the numerous Starry Sky Clans. To put it bluntly, he was their guardian deity.
Unfortunately…
Their people didn't seem to value him.
If Lin Fan were placed in the starry sky, any race would undoubtedly worship him as an ancestor, devoting themselves wholeheartedly, offering all their resources and services.
Ancestor lives, the clan lives. Ancestor dies, the clan dies.
A long time later.
In the banquet hall.
The world leaders sat, usually the center of attention wherever they went. But now, they were more like candidates waiting for an interview, anxiety etched on their faces.
The leader of the Star-Spangled Banner nation arrived.
He once possessed absolute confidence.
But with the fall of their strongest individual, they gradually lost their competitive edge. With the arrival of the Starry Sky Clans, they instantly lost the capital that once allowed them to dominate.
Many leaders conversed in hushed tones.
Their purpose was pure.
To establish connections with the Starry Sky Clans.
They hoped the Starry Sky Clans would notice them, preferably leading to cooperation.
Creak!
The crisp sound echoed.
Led by Li Guofeng, the Starry Sky Clans entered through the door, slowly walking towards the banquet hall. All the leaders raised their heads, gazing at them.
This was their closest encounter.
Mu Hao, among the crowd, walked with his head held high and a domineering, sharp gaze, as if saying, Look at me, all of you! I'm the protagonist of this gathering. You're all here because of my connections.
Therefore, he walked at the very front.
After all, important figures always stood at the forefront.
The one-eyed man said, "Old Master Xu, how are we going to stop this later?"
"I'm thinking about it, but we need to be mindful of the impact. This is probably being broadcast live," Old Master Xu replied.
The one-eyed man looked towards the back and indeed saw many media reporters. These reporters were all from Li Group. They were broadcasting the situation live.
Li Guofeng had considered a closed-door discussion, but later decided that a live broadcast was better. He not only needed to connect with the Starry Sky Clans but also needed the support of the citizens.
He didn't need everyone's support,
Just a small portion would suffice.
"Yes," the one-eyed man nodded. "Huh, where's Lin Fan?"
He noticed that Lin Fan wasn't with them and searched for him. Finally, he spotted Lin Fan and the others in the distance, leisurely eating at such a crucial moment.
The preparations for this gathering were thorough.
Long tables laden with food, drinks, and alcohol lined the walls on both sides.
Lin Fan and the others paid no attention to the current affairs.
So many people had come, surely to participate in the event and enjoy the food, meeting new friends. What a wonderful activity.
"Old Zhang, try this, it's especially delicious." Lin Fan picked up a chocolate ball and offered it to Old Zhang.
"Ah…"
Old Zhang opened his mouth, waiting to be fed. Lin Fan placed the food in Old Zhang's mouth. "Don't swallow it all at once, chew it a few times, the flavor is excellent."
Xiao Bao felt a pang of jealousy and tugged at Lin Fan's hand, opening his mouth. "I want some too, ah…"
Lin Fan picked up another chocolate ball and placed it in Xiao Bao's mouth.
Only then was Xiao Bao satisfied.
He wasn't eating food; he was consuming affection.
Renshen manipulated its tendrils, constantly grabbing food from the table and stuffing it into the Evil Chicken's mouth.
"Eat quickly, it's delicious."
The Evil Chicken's mouth was stuffed full. What a terrifying scene, what terrifying words. The Evil Chicken's face turned red, clearly choked from being force-fed by Renshen.
The Two-tailed Squirrel held a hard, unknown object, gnawing on it with gusto, seemingly enjoying the taste.
At the scene.
"Distinguished guests, please give a warm welcome to our guests from afar."
Li Guofeng walked to the podium, looking at the people below with satisfaction. His grand ambitions were about to be realized; success was within reach. As long as he seized this opportunity, everything would become beautiful.
Obsessed with achieving immortality, he hadn't found a way through the evil creatures, so he shifted his focus to these Starry Sky Clans.
Clap, clap!
The world leaders applauded.
Everyone present had a purpose.
Looking at the Starry Sky Clans, their eyes shone with fervent light, a mixture of longing and anticipation.
The one-eyed man and Old Master Xu sat silently,
Their gazes locked onto Li Guofeng.
Li Guofeng noticed their stares and smiled, a hint of mockery and provocation in his expression.
Countless citizens watched the live broadcast.
This was an exciting moment. They yearned for change and held expectations and awe for the appearance of these unknown races. Their ability to fly and move through the earth, like descending immortals, planted a seed of reverence in their hearts.
Li Guofeng spoke at length.
Then,
The crucial moment arrived.
"I have discussed with our friends from the Starry Sky Clans and we have decided to establish an Alliance Academy on our planet. Anyone can apply to study at the academy."
"Currently, the academy selects students based on talent. However, there are many ordinary people like myself who lack talent and are destined to live mediocre lives. I am not reconciled to this, not just for myself, but for my fellow citizens who are like me."
"I had a heart-to-heart talk with the Starry Sky Clans, and they understand my feelings. Therefore, they are willing to establish an Alliance Academy, allowing us to cultivate the Starry Sky cultivation methods and have the opportunity to explore the vast universe…"
Li Guofeng spoke passionately, perfectly framing his desires as the needs of the people, presenting himself as acting solely for their benefit.
This was the point they needed to understand.
"What are your thoughts?"
Li Guofeng inquired.
"I object."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Sheng's dissenting voice pierced the air. Wu Xingyun, standing beside him, frowned, clearly puzzled by his young master's actions.
It didn't benefit them.
Hearing Wu Sheng's voice, the one-eyed man's eyes lit up.
"Good job."
He knew he hadn't misjudged Wu Sheng.
With Wu Sheng's outburst, everyone present turned to look at him.
The objector wasn't one of them, but a member of the Starry Sky Clans.
Wu Sheng understood one principle: when choosing a side, commit fully. Wavering and trying to please everyone would only work for a while. If something happened, no one would help.
"Wu Sheng, why do you always object?" Mu Hao was instantly annoyed by Wu Sheng's appearance. He always felt like Wu Sheng was a troublemaker, constantly stirring things up.
Wait, that analogy wasn't quite right.
Wu Sheng retorted, "Can't I object?"
Li Guofeng gave a signal to the staff.
The meaning was clear.
Cut the broadcast.
