Chapter 256: Battle for seats



His action is as ridiculous as a monkey wearing a crown and as funny as a clown.

Chu Feng felt as though thorns were being pierced into his back as the many eyes watched him. A humiliating feeling rushed to his heart once again.

Although he had often been snubbed and ridiculed for years, it was the first time that so many powerful people had mocked him at the same time.

Chu Feng drew a deep breath and said to the attendant, “Did you do this on purpose? Who told you to do this?” His voice was somewhat cold.

He wanted to find out whether someone was deliberately trying to embarrass him or whether there was more to it.

The attendant seemed taken aback. He respectfully explained, “Senior, your invitation states that this is the seat specially prepared for you.”

Chu Feng quickly took out the invitation letter and looked at it carefully. “Really?”

Ruan Lingdu laughed in an even more exaggerated manner. He would have rushed forward to mock Chu Feng further if he wasn’t worried that he would lose his poise.

Even some of the influential figures beside him couldn’t help but shake their heads. The Rune Master Association President Chu Feng is embarrassing.

The disturbance immediately attracted the attention of people from afar. A middle-aged man who seemed like the chief attendant came over to ask about the situation. “Fellow cultivator Chu Feng, dare I ask who gave you the invitation letter?”

Chu Feng glanced at Ruan Lingdu, who was watching in the distance before he said to the middle-aged attendant. “I\'m here on behalf of Young Master Lin Xun.”

The middle-aged attendant smiled. “That’s correct. This seat is specially prepared for Young Master Lin Xun.”

Chu Feng looked dumbstruck. The distinguished guest seat is prepared for Lin Xun!

Immediately, he felt a weight lifted off him. He sat down and completely ignored the mocking mocking gazes around him.

Ruan Lingdu, who was laughing complacently, suddenly stiffened. His laughter halted abruptly as if a rock had been stuffed into his mouth.

The powerful and influential figures around him were equally in disbelief. How could this be?

Given Chu Feng’s identity, how could he possibly be qualified to sit in the row of distinguished guests’ seats?

“Are...are you mistaken?” Ruan Lingdu asked the middle-aged attendant with a frown.

He felt a strong sense of bitterness rising in his heart.

“Fellow cultivator, it can’t be wrong. The manager personally arranged the seating. There won’t be a mistake,” the middle-aged attendant replied with a smile.

“But...how could Chu Feng be qualified to sit there?” Ruan Lingdu was very baffled.

“Oh, are you asking about the seat? The seat was originally prepared for Young Master Lin Xun. Fellow Cultivator Chu Feng came on behalf of Young Master Lin Xun,” the middle-aged attendant responded casually.

“Who the hell is Young Master Lin Xun?” Ruan Lingdu blurted out.

Immediately, he noticed the strange gazes of the people around him.

Wait!

Lin Xun?

Suddenly, Ruan Lingdu completely snapped away from his anger and cold sweat soaked his body. It turns out to be that evil demon!

Ruan Lingdu had also heard about the massacre on that rainy night. As an adviser to Governor Liu Wujun, he knew well what the Black Glory note meant!

The duel between Lin Xun and Huang Jianchen, an aristocratic clan descendant from the Forbidden City, made Ruan Lingdu more aware of the terror of Lin Xun.

“I see,” Ruan Lingdu mumbled.

He finally understood the reason for the strange looks he received from the influential and powerful figures. They knew how powerful Lin Xun was!

Some of them had also received a Black Glory note.

When he again looked at Chu Feng, who had already seated himself in the distinguished guest row, his face grew more overcast.

As he cast his mind back to how he mocked Chu Feng for not knowing his place, he felt his cheeks reddening and flushing as if someone had slapped him.

The other influential figures’ expressions also looked a little unnatural. Although they could occupy a seat in the hall, they would never be qualified to sit at the distinguished guest row.

However, someone like Chu Feng was able to occupy one of those seats on behalf of Lin Xun. It felt like a silent counterattack on them and they couldn’t help feeling uncomfortable.

At the same time, they were puzzled as to why Lin Xun, a teenager, was qualified to sit in the distinguished guest seats?

Such an arrangement was too absurd!

Of course, there could be other secret reasons. Perhaps, the manager of Stone Cauldron Alms felt that Lin Xun possessed the qualification to occupy a distinguished guest seat. If that was the case, it was even more unusual.

Lin Xun was just a teenager with an unknown background but he was able to make the Black Glory Sacred Hall send a note to protect him and also made the Forbidden City’s aristocratic clan descendants give up on pursuing matters with him.

And now, he was a distinguished guest of the Stone Cauldron Alms 100th anniversary!

How would this not be shocking?

……

Chu Feng sighed inwardly. He could imagine how he would be neglected and isolated if Lin Xun hadn’t given him the invitation.

Similarly, he didn’t expect Lin Xun to have such a relationship with the Stone Cauldron Alms. Who wouldn’t find it shocking that the honor of being a distinguished guest in the 100th-anniversary celebration was given to a teenager?

Soon, all the guests invited had arrived. The seats around Chu Feng had been occupied by many powerful figures, such as Wei Lingzhen, the principal of Haze Academy, Du Dongtu, the head of the Violet Plume Army, great cultivator Yao Tuohai, and Little Sword Lord Xie Yutang.

Governor Liu Wujun was seated next to Chu Feng.

The funniest thing was that Ruan Lingdu came with Liu Wujun so he wasn’t allocated a seat. He had to stand next to Liu Wujun and serve him while Chu Feng was seated in front of him.

Ruan Lingdu gritted his teeth and almost shattered them. He had insulted and humiliated Chu Feng for over ten years, but now, he had to stand while Chu Feng sat down.

Ruan Lingdu would have flung his sleeve and stormed off if it wasn’t for the occasion. However, he had to stand there like a statue and keep Governor Liu Wujin company until the end of the celebration.

Undoubtedly, this was one of the greatest torments to him!

On the other hand, Chu Feng was delighted. He felt even more grateful toward Lin Xun. If it wasn’t for him, how would I be able to enjoy such an honor?

Most interestingly, when Wei Lingzhen, Du Dongtu, Yao Tuohai and Xie Yutang learned that Chu Feng came on behalf of Lin Xun and that the seat was actually prepared for Lin Xun, their expressions turned strange.

Wei Lingzhen and Du Dongtu exchanged a smile with each other. They found Lin Xun quite interesting. They had often heard of his name but had never seen him in person.

Yao Tuohai narrowed his eyes as complex emotions swirled in his heart. There was anger but also fear. In the past, why would he pay any attention to Lin Xun, who was an insignificant ant to him?

However, after so many things had happened, how could he not understand that the youngster he had oppressed in Donglin City was no longer the same as he was in the past.

However, as a Heaven Ascension cultivator, Yao Tuohai was only afraid of the force possibly behind Lin Xun and not Lin Xun himself!

As for Xie Yutang, he just frowned and didn’t say anything. But he couldn\'t help but feel a little irritable. Why is it Lin Xun again?!

Governor Liu Wujun sat there in silence, his expression solemn. But when he heard the name Lin Xun, he couldn’t help but fall into deep thought. It was the third time he had heard this name.

The first time was after the rainy night massacre that happened a few days ago.

The second time was the duel in the arena.

And now was the third time. It was hard for Liu Wujun not to notice Lin Xun.

Soon the Stone Cauldron Alms 100th anniversary celebration kicked off. Mu Wansu’s graceful figure emerged on the white jade platform in the center of the hall.

Clad in a black dress, she looked particularly charming and beautiful. Her every movement exuded a capable elegance. She was like a black rose, and her charm brightened people’s eyes.

Everyone realized that the celebration had finally begun!

……

Meanwhile, Lin Xun, who was in closed-door cultivation, also opened his eyes.

Swoosh!

A ray of divine light seemed to shoot forth from his eyes, piercing the darkness in the house.

At that time, Lin Xun’s aura was pulsing like molten lava around him and his skin glowed a sky-blue hue. He looked sacred and radiated a transcendent air.

His black eyes were deep and as clear as the stars. His handsome and angular face no longer looked immature and he exuded calmness and confidence.

“I finally reached the perfect realm...” Lin Xun sighed. As he breathed out, he pierced the air and blasted a hole into the wall like a thunderbolt.

Waterfall-like aura and thunder-like breathing!

This was a sign seen only when one reached the perfect realm of the Human Dipper Stage!

In Lin Xun’s body, sky-blue aeth dipper power constantly roamed around the aeth power reservoir, transforming once leaving the storm vortex, setting off countless ripples. It was incredibly pure, clear and mysterious.

However, countless cultivators would tremble and their scalps would go numb if they saw that scene. It was hard to believe that a Human Dipper cultivator would have such terrifying and powerful aeth dipper power!
