"Esteemed scholar, I am Sha Lifei."
Li Yan noticed right away that Sha Lifei wanted to make connections again, so he no longer objected and nodded, saying, "Very well, the road on the mountain is slippery, we can look out for each other."
With that, he continued to walk briskly.
Meanwhile, Sha Lifei quickly started a conversation with Yan Jiuling.
"Sir, you're so young and already a scholar, I admire you, you are sure to be a top achiever in the future."
"You flatter me, great hero, I merely had good luck."
"Luck alone doesn't make one a scholar. Sir Yan, where is your family from?"
"Ezhou."
"Oh, Ezhou is a nice place..."
Sha Lifei was eloquent and full of compliments, and he soon engaged Yan Jiuling in a lively discussion.
His goal was simple, since the founding of the Great Xuan Dynasty, those who could pass the scholar exams were certainly no ordinary figures, at the very least, they were influential elites locally.
