Fang Xianhai was of two minds when it came to what Alex had just said.
It was entirely possible that Alex was lying to him, in which case Fang Xianhai had to go along with what he was told without questioning it. Or, Alex really had learned 8 different Daos in the span of a few months, all because he had been given the opportunity to learn them all.
In either case, all Fang Xianhai could do was accept Alex's words and leave. Nothing he could say or do would help him here.
"Congratulations, Brother Dawnblade," Xianhai said after a few seconds. "I accept defeat."
Alex smiled gently. "You didn't do that bad either, Brother Xianhai. Learning a new Dao, even if just one, isn't bad at all. In fact, many would hope for that alone."
Xianhai smiled and nodded, but he said nothing else on that matter. "I shall be leaving then," he said. "Take care, Brother Dawnblade. We may meet again in the future."
Alex nodded and watched the man leave.
