Chen Yi knew Wang Ji wasn't just being polite.
After his visit to Guiyun Academy the day before yesterday, the discussions among the scholars in Shu State City had already reached his ears.
If he hadn't been feigning illness at home and refusing visitors, Spring Lotus Garden would have been overflowing with people long ago.
Even so, many members of Noble Families who felt they had some influence with the Xiao Family were still flocking to Qingjing Residence and Jiaxing Garden.
Chen Yi was aware of all this.
It wasn't because his Cultivation had improved, sharpening his hearing.
It was because of Xiaodie, his personal "ace reporter."
He didn't know if she was just particularly popular, but in the few times she left Spring Lotus Garden each day, she always returned with some news.
Which master from what family, what his former official rank was, had gone to see the Old Master.
Which lady and her daughter had visited Jiaxing Garden, and so on.
