C654 A Hat Came
Yaen Mountain Elder.
He came from the capital.
He was also the organizer of the Yaen Mountain's Martial Discussion.
Yaen Mountain Elder was a title.
Every year after Yaen Mountain Elder died, the previous Yaen Mountain Elder's disciple would inherit his position.
The current Yaen Mountain Elder had already presided over five rounds of the Yaen Mountain's Martial Discussion. He was a highly respected person.
"Greetings, Yaen Mountain Elder!"
Everyone bowed to Yaen Mountain Elder. Only Gu Yuan slightly nodded his head.
His respect for Yaen Mountain Elder was limited to the fact that he had organized several martial arts competitions in Yaen Mountain. It could be said that he had contributed a lot.
Gu Yuan was not like other people who showed respect to someone he had never met before.
At this moment, Yaen Mountain Elder slowly walked in.
He wore a silk robe and a pair of rattan shoes. He switched between elegance and simplicity very easily. No one knew what style he was dressed in.
However, Gu Yuan could tell that this fellow's cultivation base was not low. At least, he was not below the four deities of Seven Kings.
Yaen Mountain Elder cupped his fists at everyone.
"I didn't expect that all of you who have given me so much face would come here. It has brought honor to this small mountain of mine."
Small mountain?
Yaen Mountain was one of the most famous mountains in the country.
If the Yaen Mountain was a small mountain, then what other places were famous mountains and rivers?
Of course, this was Yaen Mountain Elder's modesty.
At this moment.
Hsiao Xiuxiu suddenly said.
"Doesn't the Seven Kings have eleven people in total? Why didn't I see Eastern Forest king?"
Hsiao Xiuxiu was a newcomer, so she didn't know much about this place.
But at this moment, a person really came.
"I am Lin Feng, and I am here to pay my respects to all of you."
A young man walked over.
It seemed like this young man was only at the late Transformation Stage. He definitely couldn't be compared to the people present.
However, this Lin Feng was wearing a straw hat.
The straw hat had the word 'Donglin' embroidered on it, which was enough to show his identity.
"Lin Feng... Lin Yizhi's servant, right?"
"It's a bit too much to say that a servant is just Lin Yizhi's servant."
"Servant? Is a servant able to reach the late Transformation Stage?"
"It can't be helped. He's Eastern Forest king's servant after all."
Lin Feng swaggered in front of Yaen Mountain Elder.
Then he cupped his fists and said to Yaen Mountain Elder, "Mr. Lin has been recuperating recently. He doesn't like the noise, so he asked me to wear his hat to participate in the Yaen Mountain Martial Arts Competition."
Instantly, some people who didn't know about this were shocked.
He didn't come, so he found a servant to wear a hat to participate?
There was actually such a thing?
The answer was indeed so, there was such a thing.
Zhao Jiaolong sighed and said, "Ten years ago, Mr. Lin was also like this. I didn't expect him to still be like this ten years later."
Some of the old men knew that Lin Yizhi did not like to join in the fun, but even if he did not show up, he was still ranked first in the previous Yaen Mountain Martial Exam.
This might be his strength.
That's right. Without this kind of strength, ordinary people wouldn't be able to become Eastern Forest king.
Who didn't know that the Seven Kings's four Gods were ranked first?
Yaen Mountain Elder was naturally a little unhappy.
However, he wouldn't express it directly.
"Since Mr. Lin isn't coming, Lin Feng, what you mean is..."
As soon as Yaen Mountain Elder finished speaking, Lin Feng, wearing the hat, walked to a tiger leather chair and sat down.
"Mr. Lin said that I came to the meeting wearing his hat. It is no different from him coming in person."
It was indeed Eastern Forest king.
If he didn't come himself, letting a servant wear his hat would be regarded as a meeting. Was there really such an arrogant person in the world?
"Alright, I understand."
Lin Feng was still being aggressive.
"Even if Mr. Lin doesn't come, I think you should know how to arrange the seats, right?"
"Yes, I have my own judgment."
This was also because Yaen Mountain Elder had spoken to save face for himself.
He couldn't just say that Lin Yizhi was still number one, even if it was the truth.
Lin Feng's arrogant manner had stunned everyone present.
Many people in the outer perimeter who didn't understand the situation said that Eastern Forest king's servants could be so arrogant.
"There is an old saying that goes, Prime Minister's servants are rank seven officials. This is probably the meaning of using the power of the tiger to intimidate others."
"Ai, forget about using the power of the tiger. If I had the chance, I would also be willing to be Eastern Forest king's servant."
At this time, Yaen Mountain Elder motioned for everyone to calm down.
"Thank you all for coming. Although there is a competition of martial arts in Yaen Mountain every ten years, there is no doubt about the position of the last person in this year's competition, right?"
Yaen Mountain Elder looked at Hsiao Xiuxiu.
"Jiangnan King, although you are now Jiangnan King, your cultivation base is still lacking. This old man will place you at the last place. Do you have any objections?"
Hsiao Xiuxiu stood up and bowed.
"I don't dare to have any objections. Being able to enter Jiangnan is already my master's favor. How could I dare to compete with the seniors for credit?"
Although Hsiao Xiuxiu was ranked last, no one looked down on her.
After all, everyone knew that with her strength, she was not qualified at all. However, Gu Yuan had brought her to that position. Who would dare to have any thoughts?
Then, Yaen Mountain Elder looked at Grassland King and Ma Changxiao.
"Young Godfather Ma, you are also a new Grassland King. In terms of strength, you are about the same as Cao Mulan. Do the two of you want to spar?"
Ma Changxiao stood up and cupped his fists.
"I admit that you are the second from the bottom. There is nothing worth sparring with. I am far from being as good as Cao War God."
Cao Shuang curled her lips. "Luckily I did not fight. Otherwise, I would have worn my makeup today. Hey, Gu Yulin, do you think the makeup I put on today is pretty?"
Cao Shuang didn't care about her ranking. She just wanted to let Gu Yuan see if she was pretty.
Yaen Mountain Elder continued to rank.
"Then the fight for the ninth position, let Wine Monk try it out?"
Wine Monk instantly stood up.
"I don't want to compete. I have long heard that Cao War God is valiant and heroic, and his martial arts skills are even more powerful. I am willing to lower myself to the ninth place and not compete with him."
Cao Shuang smiled.
"Haha, I thought you wanted to fight with me."
"I dare not, I dare not." Wine Monk happily took the tenth place and sat down. This was already enough for him.
Yaen Mountain Elder then looked at Duan Kun.
"Duan War God, have you recovered?"
Duan Kun stood up and said, "Although it's not a big deal, the old illness in my body is still there, so I'll take eighth place."
No one would have thought that today's competition would be so simple.
The eighth to eleventh place were automatically arranged. They still remembered that ten years ago, the battle had already been very intense.
Yaen Mountain Elder continued.
"Is Nine Barbaric King interested in the battle between seventh and sixth place?"
Before Nine Barbaric King could say anything, Cao Shuang said it directly.
"I want the seventh position. I don't want to go any further. Give him the sixth position."2
