Today was another grand feast, filled with music and dance.
If it weren't for Chu Yang's insistence, the city lord would have almost forced him to pay homage.
Of course, the city lord was also here to collect debts; they had only reached a verbal agreement yesterday and hadn't started collecting money yet...
Chu Yang readily handed over the money. With supplies in hand, the city lord felt at ease and happily drank himself to a stupor.
After sending off wave after wave of congratulatory guests, it was already evening.
Cat Nini had once again retreated into seclusion: sensing that his fiancée was about to arrive, he was now wishing he could hide in his room every day. He had looked so forward to her arrival yesterday, but now, after drinking much wine, he preferred to not even step outside his door.
To facilitate teaching, his room was set up in a small area inside the main hall. Although it was small, it was connected to the original Li Family library...
Cat Nini dove inside, completely absorbed, having found a good place...
Yan Rushan directly summoned Chu Yang using spiritual energy.
Chu Yang hurried over.
"Something feels off. Did this serious injury affect my spiritual intuition..." Yan Rushan furrowed his brows deeply. "Those little brats I saw yesterday were all worthless, not even mediocre. How come today they all seem to have improved? A few of them even show above-average potential—how is that possible?"
Chu Yang was pleasantly surprised but feigned confusion on his face. "Oh? Really?"
It seemed that after three or four meals, the effects had already started to show?
"My spiritual intuition shouldn't have such a huge mistake. Did you use any tricks?" Yan Rushan looked at him with scrutiny.
Chu Yang protested vehemently, "If I had such a miraculous ability to change others' talents, I would have used it on myself first. You should know my situation, Brother Yan..."
Yan Rushan thought for a moment: what Chu Yang said was indeed reasonable. This guy had nine dantians, a body worse than trash; if he really had the means to change one's talent, he would have used it on himself long ago.
"Then what is going on? Is my spiritual intuition really flawed? How could so many people have made mistakes!" Yan Rushan puzzled, unable to comprehend.
He could never have dreamed what changes could cause such a drastic shift.
"Brother Yan, could it be this way?" Chu Yang pondered. "These little brats originally had good potential, but due to years of poverty, their physical potential has been gradually worn down or masked by external factors... Today, after eating and drinking their fill, their nutrition has caught up, and they are starting to show their true selves? You didn’t see it before; it wasn't that your spiritual intuition was wrong, but rather they were misled by illusions!"
Yan Rushan frowned, "Is that possible... There have been no precedents for this, that spiritual intuition could be misled..."
Chu Yang shrugged, "You can't say for sure; nothing is absolute in this world... To really assess their potential, we should at least wait a few more days for their nutrition to return to normal. Then we can see their true qualities... During these days, they are taking in maximum nourishment, and there might be some discrepancies; don’t worry too much, I believe the problem lies not with you."
Yan Rushan nodded. Until a clear reason could be found, Chu Yang's explanation was perhaps the closest to the truth.
"Then let’s wait a few days and see. Maybe heaven is blessing good people, granting you, this great benefactor, some unexpected fortune."
"Yes, I appreciate your kind words, Brother Yan. By the way, your injury, I estimate it will take a few more days for a full recovery?"
"About seven or eight days, I think." Yan Rushan smiled: "I feel much lighter today; I can gather some heaven and earth elemental force now, and normal activities aren't much of a problem..."
"That's great! Once you've recovered, don't forget about the King's Blade matter." Chu Yang chuckled.
