Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7357

Chapter 7271: A Joyful Ending

“That clan does indeed lack some of its own methods, so what you said makes sense.” Li Chaoxi seemed thoughtful upon hearing this, then smiled and praised, “However, for someone under ten thousand years old to achieve this level is truly impressive. If you were my age, you might be several times stronger than me.”

Li Tianming raised an eyebrow slightly in surprise, but still bowed politely and said, “Thank you for your affirmation, Senior Sister Chaoxi. Talent needs to be realized, and I still need to work hard.”

Li Chaoxi’s words shocked countless people in the Myriad Emperors Palace.

“This Empress, does she acknowledge Li Zhanshen’s talent? She said that at the same age, she is not as good as Li Zhanshen!”

“Most members of the Li imperial clan are extremely arrogant, and they actually have the right to be arrogant, but they have never publicly admitted that anyone’s talent is higher. This is at least the first case I’ve heard of!”

“It seems that although Li Zhanshen was defeated, he has demonstrated his talent and gained respect!”

At this moment, Li Qianyang, who was in a private room in the Myriad Emperors Palace, had a very gloomy expression.

Although he was somewhat displeased, he didn’t dare to speak ill of Li Chaoxi.

However, everyone could see that Li Chaoxi’s recognition of Li Tianming’s talent was fueling a fire deep within him!

In contrast to his wary attitude was a woman with nine-colored hair beside him.

“Why should this Empress bow down to a mere outsider and admit her talent is inferior? Isn’t that beneath the dignity of the undefeated Li clan?” Jiu Yuan frowned, staring at the image.

Li Chaoyang glanced indifferently at her, expressionless, and said, “Words can be dangerous; too much talk can cost you your life.”

His words carried a dangerous undertone.

Jiu Yuan trembled violently, her eyes lowered, and she dared not utter another word.

However, within the Myriad Emperors Palace, the unexpected scene sparked even louder discussions.

“Even facing the more powerful Li Chaoxi, Li Tianming seems to have the composure to accept defeat. He remained neither arrogant nor humble before the Li Clan, displaying gentlemanly conduct.”

“Li Chaoxi, too, demonstrated the magnanimity of the Li Clan, praising Li Tianming’s astonishing talent even after his victory.”

“Although Li Tianming lost, he showcased his talent; he certainly has the potential to surpass Li Chaoxi.”

“Both of them demonstrated excellence in their cultivation, as well as their upbringing and perspective. For them, both are victors!”

“The Li Clan has no need to suppress other clans; instead, they should cultivate relationships with young geniuses—this is the foundation of a sect’s development!”

Most people praised both Li Tianming and Li Chaoxi simultaneously, seemingly seeing it as a win-win situation!

In other words, Li Tianming lost due to weakness but won due to talent!

Li Chaoxi’s actions slightly changed people’s impressions of the Li Clan.

People also began to reconsider their impressions based on the past performance of the young Emperor Li Qianyang.

This scene surprised some of the higher-ups in the private room.

Several powerful figures, who hadn’t yet shown themselves in the private rooms, couldn’t help but sigh in admiration, “This young empress’s attitude towards things is indeed quite remarkable…”

Meanwhile, on the Emperor’s Battle Stage,

Li Chaoxi suddenly produced a communication star tower. She openly and generously took Li Tianming’s hand and handed it to him, then gently squeezed his hand with her cool, delicate fingers.

It seemed she wasn’t going to give Li Tianming any room to refuse.

Of course, Li Tianming didn’t really need to refuse such a small matter.

“As the saying goes, ‘No fight, no friendship.’ Now we’re friends. You can keep this communication star tower; you can come find me anytime,” Li Chaoxi said with a smile.

Li Tianming smiled in relief, put away her communication star tower, and then took out his own to exchange for it.

“In that case, I’ll humbly accept,” Li Tianming said with a smile.

The two hadn’t yet left the Emperor’s Battle Stage, so everyone witnessed this scene.

This far exceeded the Li Clan’s standards for dealing with outsiders!

Even among the guardian imperial clans, few could truly be considered friends with the Li imperial clan.

Yet Li Tianming had done it!

Countless people were astonished, their eyes widening as they couldn’t help but murmur amongst themselves.

“The Li Imperial Clan is friends with someone from an outsider sect? Did I hear that right?”

“Is this a sign of friendly relations? Could it be a deliberate arrangement by the Li Imperial Clan? After all, the conflict between Li Qianyang and Li Tianming didn’t turn out very well.”

“Regardless, at least these two didn’t become enemies because of the battle; instead, they formed a friendship?”

After exchanging communication star towers, Li Tianming and Li Chaoxi continued with a smile, “Now that I’ve emerged from seclusion, I’ll be going to the Heavenly Emperor’s Great Wall. Our sections of the Great Wall will be adjacent, so perhaps we can be stationed together and grow together. Maybe we’ll even have another chance to spar.”

Li Tianming nodded and smiled politely, “Of course, no problem. Maybe we’ll even have the opportunity to fight side by side, and maybe one day we’ll fight the beast tide together. Of course, the best scenario would be less demonic tide, making things easier for the soldiers.”

With such a warm invitation, Li Tianming couldn’t refuse in public, so he readily agreed.

Although he didn’t know how sincere Li Chaoxi was, Li Tianming still maintained a facade, saying all the necessary polite words.

Meanwhile, seeing the two chatting happily and even discussing future plans, those disciples who had previously mocked Li Tianming looked extremely displeased.

Some among them were still resentful, even tinged with embarrassment!

“Why is Li Tianming so close to such a beautiful imperial lady?”

“With so many powerful wives around him, isn’t he satisfied? Isn’t he afraid his wife at home will be jealous?”

“In my opinion, Li Tianming has too many ulterior motives. If he doesn’t know his place with this young imperial lady, he’ll anger her one day!”

Clearly, this dashing, forthright, and talented woman from the Li clan was treating Li Tianming so well, showing no arrogance or impatience.

Most importantly, Li Tianming got along well with her, making their mockery seem like a joke!

Therefore, some disciples who supported Li Tianming remained silent, especially those from the guardian imperial clan who knew him.

Their status was already noble, and they feared no one, so their speech was naturally even more impolite.

“Even the Empress herself hasn’t said anything, what are you all yelling about?” Xingxiao glanced at the surrounding disciples and said.
