Feng Jun couldn't help but laugh and cry upon hearing Bai Li's words, "What do you think I'm trying to achieve, Fellow Bai Li?"
Bai Li smiled and spread his hands, "With your intelligence and brilliance, Fellow Feng, how could I possibly know what you are after?"
In the Cultivation World, being described as 'intelligent and brilliant' is not entirely a compliment but more of a neutral term. A person characterized this way has a high possibility of not progressing much, and there are many reasons for this which need not be elaborated here.
Thus, his words were not genuinely a compliment; otherwise, he would have used phrases like "extraordinary talent" or "peerless aptitude."
Feng Jun ignored the teasing tone in Bai Li's speech and asked seriously, "Fellow Bai Li, is this proposal something you came up with on the fly, or is it unanimously agreed upon by your sect?"
