Chapter 195 Clever and Quick-witted Little Xi Lian.
However, soon, rational members of the public stood up and spoke out against it.
They firmly believed that there was no need to worry excessively about Aglaia's safety.
After all, Aglaia was a genuine demigod, and the golden threads around her were incredibly mysterious, possessing the ability to see into people's hearts.
If anyone approaches her with ill intentions, they will surely lie and harbor ulterior motives, at which point the golden threads will automatically vibrate as a warning.
Aglaia would naturally be on high alert immediately and calmly resolve the crisis.
Some people bluntly stated that the wine in Douluo Continent is simply incomparable to the wine from beyond the heavens.
The wine they brew on the mainland is as bland as water; even if Aglaia drank hundreds or thousands of kilograms, she would never feel drunk.
All the worries that people had before were nothing but needless anxieties and unnecessary troubles.
Meanwhile, Saifei stared at Aglaia's adorable, tipsy appearance in the sky, her lively cat eyes darting around several times, and a mischievous idea instantly popped into her head.
When she reappeared the next second, she was holding two jars of fragrant, heavenly wine tightly in her arms.
She glanced furtively at Aglaia, who was sitting upright in her chair, intently watching the plot unfold on the screen, and a sly, mischievous smile crept across her lips.
"Hehehehe~~"
"Hahaha~~"
...
Above the sky, Little Grey and Xilian politely bid farewell to Aglaia and Tibo, then slowly walked towards the venue to talk with the other earls present.
When everyone thought the two would seize this excellent opportunity to extract crucial information from the high-ranking count, they discovered that Xi Lian was only asking some unimportant, simple everyday questions.
Even when Lord Seneca of the Winter Rain was already drunk and delirious, Little Grey Hair and Xi Lian still didn't ask any questions about Kerudela's confidential information.
At most, it was just a casual, polite inquiry about Caesar's location.
After all, in the bustling hall, no one knew Caesar's true whereabouts.
This unusual scene left the people under the sky full of doubts and sparked much discussion.
Everyone knew perfectly well that the atmosphere at the banquet was relaxed and pleasant, and everyone was in high spirits. With a little guidance, it would be easy to extract useful and confidential information from others.
When Xi Lian first met these counts, she seized every opportunity to try to extract information from them.
But now many people are already drunk, which is the best time for them to speak the truth after drinking. However, Xi Lian did not seize this god-given opportunity to dig deeper into the information.
Countless questions flooded the minds of the public, and a dense barrage of doubts once again filled the sky screen.
Although Yu Xiaogang was equally confused and puzzled, he knew in his heart that when it came to the truth behind the plot, he was far inferior to Xi Lian, who had personally participated in it.
Moreover, the people of mainland China do not trust this master to begin with, and if he were to force a random interpretation of the plot, he would only embarrass himself further.
In a flash, his eyes lit up and a plan came to him.
He was convinced from the bottom of his heart that Little Gray Hair and Xi Lian were so engrossed in playing that they had completely forgotten the important mission of their trip.
So he raised his head high, deliberately adopting an air of superiority and all-knowing wisdom, looking down at Xi Lian in the sky, a conceited and smug smile on his lips, and loudly addressed the people of the entire continent.
"Your Excellency Xi Lian, I think that in this part of the story, you and Lord Pioneer were obviously too engrossed and having too much fun."
"Have you forgotten your mission here? You are here to seize the Flame of Law from Crydella and save this world!"
"These counts have followed Cerrudra for years, remaining utterly loyal. No one knows Caesar better than them. Yet you missed a golden opportunity by failing to extract confidential information about her when they were most relaxed and unguarded…"
"Sigh... If it were me, I would have already extracted countless crucial pieces of information from those drunkards by now."
"This information will become our strongest backup plan in dealing with Crydella! Otherwise, if you know nothing about her, how can you please her and successfully complete your mission?"
Although the people of Douluo Continent have never liked Yu Xiaogang, who calls himself a master, they have to admit that his words just happened to express their feelings.
After all, in everyone's eyes, information is the best weapon on the battlefield. As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."
In the independent commentary space above the sky, Xi Lian looked at the barrage of questions on the screen, but she was not flustered at all. She just smiled gently and calmly.
She slowly raised her head, looked at Yu Xiaogang who had a smug and self-satisfied expression, and spoke in a gentle yet clear tone.
"Master, have you forgotten? The main purpose of their visit here was to gain Little Caesar's trust."
"Little Caesar could easily learn about the private matters that people and their companions reported to their celestial counterparts in their rooms or in secluded places."
"Moreover, in this meeting place under the watchful eyes of everyone, our every move must be under her close surveillance."
"If we rashly inquire about her now, it will surely trigger her sensitive and suspicious nature, causing her to become extremely suspicious!"
"So, all we need to do now is follow her arrangements, attend the banquet properly, and behave ourselves."
"Otherwise, even if we were to inquire about a trivial little secret from her childhood, it would be a serious crime of crossing the line in her eyes."
"They will likely be directly labeled as rebels, rendering all their previous efforts futile."
Xi Lian's clear and easy-to-understand explanation instantly enlightened all the people of Douluo Continent.
It turns out that Little Gray Hair and Xi Lian's actions were based on such deep and thorough considerations.
As a result, everyone stopped underestimating Krystra.
Being able to monitor all movements in Ohm, the two of them were probably already being watched closely by spies the moment they stepped into the venue.
If either of them showed even the slightest intention to harm Caesar, they would likely be riddled with arrows and die without a burial place.
At the same time, countless people laughed at Yu Xiaogang for his haphazard analysis, lack of understanding of the situation, and complete lack of common sense.
Everyone mocked him, saying that the so-called useful information Yu Xiaogang spoke of would only become a deadly poison in that suspenseful situation.
Yu Xiaogang's so-called wisdom and strategy were as naive and laughable as a newborn child in front of Xi Lian.
His actions on the sky were simply meant to amuse and entertain the entire continent.
Tang San saw his teacher making a complete fool of himself on the sky, like a ridiculous clown, and a cold, sardonic sneer crept onto his lips.
At this moment, he became increasingly distrustful of Yu Xiaogang, and even felt contempt for him.
Can such a dull and short-sighted person really help him become the supreme star god?
It seems that in the end, I can only rely on myself and cannot depend on anyone else.
Yu Xiaogang's humiliating performance on the sky made Tang San, as his personal disciple, feel utterly ashamed and unable to hold his head up. His dissatisfaction with Yu Xiaogang had reached its peak.
In fact, when watching the Sky Curtain scene just now, Tang San completely agreed with Yu Xiaogang's statement, believing that they should take the opportunity to extract key information from the drunken count.
But at this moment, he had already cast that true thought aside and forgotten it completely.
He attributed all the wrong judgments to Yu Xiaogang, believing that Yu Xiaogang's stupidity and ignorance had seriously misled him.
In his mind, he had always been pure, intelligent, and infallible.
My misjudgment just now was simply due to being infected with the stupidity of that idiot Yu Xiaogang.
