Chapter 262: The Battle of Recognition

After a while, Ling Feng spoke, "Two elders, I would like to ask you about one thing, that is, how long it has been since I came to Guan Zi Hall. This is very important to me." Hearing Ling Feng ask, the Second Elder shook his head, after all, he really didn't know how long Ling Feng had been here, and the Third Elder opened his mouth and said, "Well, I forgot about it, but Zhong Liang should know." Then Ling Feng looked in the direction of Lu Zhongliang, Lu Zhongliang thought about it and calculated, and then said, "I can't remember exactly how long it was, but it's been about half a year since we first met." Hearing this, Ling Feng obviously showed a hint of anxiety. Of course, the three elders and the others also sensed that something was wrong, but it was difficult to ask, so they didn't open their mouths. However, the third elder still added, "Brother Fenglin, don't you need to do that matter in a hurry." Ling Feng could also hear that the Third Elder should have something he wanted to ask for him, so he asked, "I'm not in a hurry about that matter, but there should still be time for now, Third Elder, do you have something to do?"

The third elder hesitated for a moment before he spoke, "Now that the matter is over, I'll tell you the truth, the second brother and I still hope that you can become the new hall master of our Guan Zi Hall." After thinking about it, Ling Feng still spoke, "It's not that I don't want to be the hall master, it's just that my background is complicated, and I'm afraid that I will bring unnecessary trouble and foreign enemies to Guan Zitang in the future." At this time, the second elder spoke: "In that case, then you should be our hall master, not to mention anything else, there are very few opponents on this continent that we can hardly compete with, of course, except for the Qianyuan Realm, don't tell me that your enemy is a strong man in the Qianyuan Realm." Since Lu Zhongyi had said so, Ling Feng also planned to reveal a little, so he opened his mouth and said, "It's not a secret, my enemy may not be as simple as a strong person in the Qianyuan Realm, at least above the Qianyuan Realm in my inference." When Ling Feng said this, Lu Hongren, who had never spoken before, opened his mouth and said, "Brother Fenglin, do you know why we insist on asking you to be our hall master?" To be honest, this was also what Ling Feng was quite curious about, but after thinking about it, he said, "Is it because I learned the Wind Fight on the Guan Zi Tang Martial Arts Tablet?" The third elder smiled and said, "Do you think it's really because of the matter of the martial arts tablet, in fact, it's not, we all know very well in our hearts that this Swift Wind Determination is not something that everyone can cultivate, otherwise the current Guanzi Hall would not have declined for such a long time, and we didn't recommend you to be the hall master for you to teach the Swift Wind Determination, or it wasn't simply because of the rumors of that ancestor." Hearing this, Ling Feng also said, "What's the reason for that, I really don't know what else is attractive about me."

The third elder continued, "I know that you may not have noticed it yourself, what I value is the kind of potential you have, what I see in you is endless possibilities, and there is the hope of my old bones, to be honest, when you say that your enemy is a powerhouse above the Qianyuan Realm, my heart does have a lot of fluctuations, but after some thought, I feel that the hope you bring me is still greater than the danger, so I still want to give it a try." Brother Fenglin, do you know what cultivators of our level crave the most?" After thinking about it, Feng Lin shook his head and said that he didn't know. The third elder said, "Actually, it's very simple, what we hope is that we can make a big breakthrough in cultivation in our lifetime, so that our lifespan can also be increased, of course, maybe you are not very eager for lifespan now, after all, you are still young and have just stepped into this society, and when you reach our age, we will know how much temptation it is for us to live longer." And as we all know, improving my cultivation can effectively increase my lifespan, and what I see in you is the hope that I can go further, so I think you should understand what I mean."

Of course, the three elders had all said it so clearly, Ling Feng must have understood what the other party meant. However, what Ling Feng couldn't figure out was that he himself was not sure that he would be able to advance to the Qianyuan Realm, why the Third Elder would have such great expectations for him. Since he couldn't figure it out, Ling Feng didn't plan to think about it, plus the three elders valued him so much, Ling Feng also planned to give it a try. After all, he didn't want their hopes to be dashed. So Ling Feng opened his mouth and said, "In that case, I promise you the Third Elder, but I think this matter should not be so simple. After all, my impression in everyone's minds is a little bad now." The Third Elder smiled and said, "You don't have to worry too much about this, after all, everyone still doesn't know the news that you have successfully cultivated the Wind Due, and when the time comes, as long as this news spreads and the ancestor's prophecy, I think everyone's impression of you should be somewhat different, but..." Speaking of this, the three elders also paused. Ling Feng also opened his mouth and asked, "What's just that, the three elders." The third elder also continued, "It's just that I'm afraid that Lu Wangxi will come to make trouble with Lumad when the time comes, I think Lumad knows that he can't beat you, and he may let his grandson, who has been successfully promoted to the Huahai Realm for a long time, come and have a confrontation with you in the same realm of martial arts, to prove that the two of you are more suitable to sit in the position of the hall master."

Just kidding, how could Ling Feng be scared because of a Transformation Sea Realm. Then he opened his mouth and said, "Don't worry, Third Elder, a little kid who has just been promoted to the Huahai Realm, if you don't even have the confidence to defeat him, how can you become stronger and break through the Qianyuan Realm." Indeed, what Ling Feng said was not wrong at all, how could a mere junior in the Sea Realm block his path. Although this junior is also a gifted person, Ling Feng doesn't mind stepping on these so-called geniuses, Ling Feng wants to let all of them become his stepping stones, let them know what a real genius is. Since it was decided like this, Lu Hongren and the others decided to leave Ling Feng's residence first, and before leaving, Lu Hongren told Ling Feng, "Three days later, it will be the annual grand meeting of my Guan Zi Hall, and it will be the time for us to elect you as the hall master, Brother Fenglin, you should prepare first in these two days." After finishing speaking, the three elders and the others also left completely. Lu Hongren said before leaving that Ling Feng should prepare, which made Ling Feng a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to prepare, but he thought in his heart that since he didn't know what to prepare, he simply didn't prepare. Then Ling Feng went straight to his bed and thought about life. Although it was already late at night, the three elders and the others did not return to their residences, but set off directly to the Council Pavilion, because the two of them learned about the current state of the Council Pavilion from Lu Zhongliang's mouth, and they urgently needed the two of them to go back to preside over the overall situation.

Sure enough, when the two of them came to the council cabinet, they were already in chaos. However, when the three elders and the two entered, everyone in the pavilion instantly fell silent the moment they saw the two. What none of them expected was why the two elders would suddenly wake up. That didn't last long, though. Lu Hongren was the first to speak, "You don't have to be too shocked, the two of us were able to wake up completely thanks to the help of the wind forest, otherwise whether we can wake up is another matter." Lu Hongren's words undoubtedly indirectly established a trace of goodwill for Ling Feng in the hearts of everyone. Then the third elder spoke: "First of all, I rushed here as soon as I woke up, so that everyone would not worry about our safety anymore, and secondly..." When he said this, Lu Hongren deliberately paused. It's like she's avoiding something.

Everyone saw that Lu Hongren didn't say the rest of the words for a long time, so some people couldn't help but asked, "I don't know what the third elder said next." Lu Hongren waited for someone to ask him, so that he could lead to the rest of the matter. So he said, "Do you remember what day it was in three days?" After hearing Lu Hongren's reminder, everyone fell into deep thought, but this situation did not last long, and most of them also said in unison, "It is the founding day of our Guanzi Hall." Then Lu Hongren continued, "That's right, it's the annual founding day of my Guanzitang, and the second thing I want to say is this." I think all of you are well aware that after so many years, the position of the head of our Guanzitang is still vacant, and I think it is time to confirm the new hall master on this building day, I wonder if you have any comments or suggestions, or how do you think of this matter I mentioned." When Lu Hongren finished saying this, everyone fell into deep thought again, and after a while, there was a noisy discussion in the Kung Fu Pavilion.

It can be heard that the discussion at this time is the question of who will be the head of the hall, after some careful observation, it can be learned that everyone is around the two candidates began to talk about it, most of them think that the position of the hall master should be done by Ling Feng, but there are still a very small number of people who think that the younger generation should take on this important responsibility. Of course, the selection of this young man is also discussed around Lu Zhixie and Lu Wangxi. After everyone's discussion gradually weakened, Lu Hongren spoke, "I know that everyone must want me to be the head of the hall, but in my opinion, such a position should be done by young people, after all, the younger generation is the future of my Guanzitang." As for what you said about Lu Wangxi and Lu Zhixi, I don't think they are very suitable for this position, after all, both of them are too angry and lack leadership cohesion. Of course, what is even more lacking is mutual help and inability to take into account the overall situation." At this time, someone spoke, "Then the third elder, who do you think can do this position?" Lu Hongren smiled and said, "I do have the best candidate here so far." When he said this, Lu Hongren also stopped his words. This also made everyone even more curious about the best candidate in the eyes of the three elders. After all, everyone present racked their brains and didn't figure out who else was qualified among the younger generation of Guan Zitang. Just when someone was about to ask, Lu Hongren said, "You don't need to ask, you will naturally know who I recommend when it comes to the founding day."

Since Lu Hongren didn't say the best person in his heart, everyone didn't continue to ask, because they all knew Lu Hongren's character very well, as long as he didn't plan to say something, no one could get any information from his mouth. Later, Lu Hongren also added, "In this case, let's disperse and go back to our own residences first, after all, we will all be busy in the next few days." As soon as Lu Hongren's words fell, everyone present began to leave the venue one after another. Soon, only Lu Hongren and the three of them were left in the originally lively council cabinet. Seeing that there was no one else here, Lu Zhongliang was also about to ask the question in his heart, so he said, "Third Elder, I know who the best candidate you just said is, but why don't you tell them who it is, in my opinion, if you tell them in advance, it may be of great help to that adult's candidacy." Since Lu Zhongliang asked so, Lu Hongren didn't intend to hide it from Lu Zhongliang, so he said, "Actually, I also know that it is indeed beneficial to inform them in advance. But I can't guarantee that they won't talk about it, and if that were the case, I'm afraid the disadvantages would far outweigh the benefits, so it's better not to let them know, and now is the best way to go. And keeping them in this curious state of mind clearly creates a sense of mystery for him. When the time comes, there will be less unnecessary trouble for the wind forest."

Lu Zhongliang didn't expect Lu Hongren to think so thoroughly, if it were him, he would definitely not have thought of this level. When Lu Zhongliang learned about this matter, he also left the council like everyone else. With Lu Zhongliang's departure, only Lu Hongren and Lu Zhongyi were left in the cabinet. At this time, Lu Zhongyi finally spoke: "Third child, are you really so sure that Fenglin is the one who brought us hope." To be honest, I see that you have passed half your life and have no heirs, and you are a strict elder to all the juniors, but only this wind forest you admire him, it is not like treating a junior at all, in my memory, even if the strength of the wind forest is relatively strong, with your character, you will not have such an attitude towards him." After listening to Lu Zhongyi's words, Lu Hongren also said, "Actually, the reason why this is the case is because I see something that you can't see." Lu Zhongyi asked curiously, "What is that?" Lu Hongren also said two words very simply: "hope". Hearing this, Lu Zhongyi didn't know what to say, but in Lu Zhongyi's opinion, maybe this kind of hope really existed, after all, he had also witnessed the miracles created by Ling Feng too many times.

Then the two of them left separately and returned to their own residences. This night was destined to be a sleepless night, and the entire Guan Zitang was caught in a heated discussion because of Lu Hongren's proposal. The night, which was supposed to be silent, became brightly lit. Especially the Lu Family Tavern According to the rules of the Lu Family Tavern on weekdays, the tavern will close late at night, but today is an exception, it can be said that tonight's Lu Family Tavern is already full of all kinds of cultivators. At this moment, everyone invariably discussed the dispute over the head of the hall on the day of the establishment of the church three days later. At this time, there was a cultivator wearing a hat sitting in an inconspicuous corner of the tavern, and after listening to everyone's discussions, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he whispered, "The position of the hall master, hehe, it seems that this is a bit interesting." At this moment, everyone was in a group, but the man with the hat sat alone in the corner and watched silently. This also shows that the arrogance he has is becoming more and more prominent. Of course, no one noticed the man at this time. It didn't take long for the man with the hat to settle the bill and leave, and when the man with the hat left, a person in the opposite corner of the corner where he was also stood up, and said to himself, "I didn't expect you to come too, so it happened to be the day of the establishment of the Guanzitang to calculate the general account of the two of us." Then he left in the opposite direction to the man with the hat, without attracting the attention of the others.

However, at this time, Ling Feng had already fallen asleep. Soon the next day arrived, and Ling Feng had no intention of leaving the room because of the hatred he had caused before. However, in order to breathe fresh air and take a look at the sun, Ling Feng finally chose to sit on the roof and look at the sunlight in the distance. When Ling Feng took a deep breath, he realized that today's Guan Zi Hall was extremely lively, there were not many people's corners on weekdays, and there were many cultivators walking around those places at the moment, and they would greet each other from time to time and chat about recent things. Ling Feng also learned from their chat that it turned out that there would be so many people in Guanzi Hall today because of the upcoming church building day. If it weren't for this, Ling Feng wouldn't know that there were so many people in Guan Zitang. However, Ling Feng felt that even if it was the founding day, he shouldn't all come back, after all, what if someone was at a critical juncture of life and death, and Ling Feng could know from Lu Hongren's mouth before that this founding day was held once a year, and Ling Feng didn't understand this alone.

At this moment, Lu Zhongliang suddenly came to Ling Feng's side, and although he didn't know what the other party was looking for him, Ling Feng still called him to the roof. As soon as Lu Zhongliang came up, Ling Feng asked, "I don't know what Brother Tai is looking for me today." Lu Zhongliang opened his mouth and replied, "Actually, there is nothing to do, I just want to come and see you and ask you about your opinion on this founding day." Ling Feng asked this question very suddenly, but Ling Feng still opened his mouth and asked the previous question, "Is the founding day of your Guanzitang the same as it is now?" Lu Zhongliang also understood what Ling Feng meant, so he spoke: "Actually, the founding days of the church over the years are not the same as now. However, there are not too many people who have come back in the past. It's just that the founding day of the church this time happens to be a full hundred years since the three elders took over the Guanzi Hall, and our Guanzi Hall has not had a hall master for a hundred years. In addition, last night, the three elders put forward a proposal to re-elect the hall master, so as long as the people of the Guanzi Hall outside received the order, they also returned to our base camp one after another." After listening, Ling Feng also looked at the sky in the distance, and said unnaturally, "I see." Then the two fell silent again.
