Chapter 250: Zhao Qianqiu: A Casual Planting, Unexpectedly Became a Forest

Lord Lingxiao City!

Today, in all the taverns and teahouses, wherever martial artists gathered, they were talking about one thing.

Compared to the challenge of the Sihe Wu Yuan and the Chaoshang Wu Yuan two months ago, this time it obviously had a greater impact.

Including many Ranked martial artists, they all participated in it.

Organ Cultivation Perfection Stage, it was not far from the Ranked Tier.

Ordinary martial artists at the Organ Cultivation Perfection Stage were not looked upon by Ranked martial artists. Although it was only one step away, for many martial artists, this step was a chasm.

But for the Yu Beichen brothers and Lin Chen, these Organ Cultivation Perfection Stage martial artists, all Ranked martial artists knew that they would inevitably reach the Ranked Tier.

Lord Lingxiao Wu Yuan!

The place Lord Lingxiao City martial artists liked to go most. There were arenas for martial artists to spar and places for martial artists to communicate.

Most importantly, the Wu Yuan was spread across the Nine Kingdoms, and many martial artists were members of the Wu Yuan.

Deep in the Wu Yuan.

A woman in a red dress looked indifferent, expressionless, looking at the few people in front of her.

"Elder Zhao, you should be flexible."

"Flexible? Everyone, don't forget the agreement between the Wu Yuan when it entered Daliang and that founding emperor of Daliang: my Wu Yuan will never intervene or interfere in Daliang's Imperial Court."

Zhao Qianqiu's eyes were frosty, looking at the other four people in front of her. The five of them were all Golden Garden Elders of the Daliang Wu Yuan.

The Wu Yuan had a total of nineteen branch gardens in Daliang, and she was responsible for four of them.

A year ago, she wasn't a Golden Garden Elder, just an ordinary Silver Garden Elder, only responsible for two martial gardens. Thanks to discovering Lin Chen, she was promoted to a Golden Garden Elder, not only responsible for two more martial gardens but also promoted to a Golden Garden Elder.

The rules of the entire Daliang Wu Yuan were formulated by the Golden Garden Elders, and this time it was these four Golden Garden Elders in front of her forcing her to agree to change the rules of the Wu Yuan.

"Times have changed. Other countries have decided to establish a Hidden Dragon List, and according to the current investigation of the Nine Kingdoms, Daliang only has ten young geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List this time, and the strongest, even Lin Chen discovered by Elder Zhao, is only ranked tenth."

An old man on the left said in a deep voice: "When our Wu Yuan entered Daliang back then, we said we wouldn't interfere in Daliang's Imperial Court. The purpose of the Wu Yuan is to cultivate martial arts geniuses, but Daliang's current situation makes it impossible to produce true geniuses."

"That's right. If Daliang doesn't change, it will inevitably fall to the bottom in the long run."

Zhao Qianqiu looked at them coldly. These people didn't truly care about Daliang's martial arts geniuses; they were just afraid that Daliang would be at the bottom, affecting their own assessments.

The Wu Yuan also had assessments for these elders.

Discovering geniuses was the Wu Yuan's requirement for them, which was also why she could be promoted to a Golden Garden Elder just by relying on Lin Chen.

Originally, there was no comparison between the Nine Kingdoms, and geniuses from other countries wouldn't affect them. But now it was different. The Hidden Dragon List integrated the martial arts geniuses of the Nine Kingdoms. If Daliang's geniuses were at the bottom, it meant the Wu Yuan hadn't played its role.

"Elder Zhao, actually, it's not that we want the Daliang Imperial Court to change. The Daliang royal family and the Imperial Court are afraid they already have this intention. This time, the Yu Beichen brothers from the three islands of Nansha came to Lord Lingxiao City to challenge, and many geniuses in Daliang who could defeat the Yu Beichen brothers didn't show up."

At the head, an old man over fifty had a gleam in his eyes and stroked his beard: "As far as I know, those few children of the five clans of Guanzhong have come to Lord Lingxiao City. What it means for Daliang that these few defeated the Yu Beichen brothers, Elder Zhao should be clear in her heart."

Zhao Qianqiu was silent, a trace of murderous intent in the depths of her eyes. She naturally knew what this meant.

This meant that the five clans of Guanzhong, as well as other martial arts families in Daliang, would take the opportunity to demand that the Daliang Martial Administration Force change its policy. After all, the ones who finally preserved Daliang's face were those geniuses who cultivated in other countries.

This was a blow to the Martial Administration Force, proving the failure of the Martial Administration Force's policy.

Actually, for Zhao Qianqiu, Daliang choosing to change was a good thing for her. The reason she hadn't agreed was because she thought of Lin Chen.

She could become a Golden Garden Elder because she discovered Lin Chen, but if there were no Martial Hall set up by the Martial Administration Force, a youth with Lin Chen's background would have no chance to enter a martial hall to get an opening-acupoint elixir, and thus would have no chance to appear in the Wu Yuan.

Perhaps, with Lin Chen's martial arts talent, he would have a chance to reach the Ranked Tier later, but one step slow means every step slow.

Once a few years passed, or even just half a year slow, she wouldn't have any interest in Lin Chen, and even less would she let Yan He'an give Lin Chen some care.

Daliang could produce one Lin Chen; who could guarantee it couldn't produce a second?

Even without Lin Chen's talent, at least it reserved a chance for those youths with ordinary backgrounds.

This was the reason she had never agreed.

But she also knew in her heart that it was useless for her to oppose it alone. Even that Minister Kong of the Martial Administration Force couldn't withstand the pressure.

The secret exposed in the Snow Region this time was too astonishing.

"Elder Zhao, how about it?"

Facing the eyes of these four people, Zhao Qianqiu was helpless. Her red lips parted, and just as she was about to agree, footsteps came from the courtyard entrance.

"Elders, the result is out!"

The courtyard door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man ran in in a hurry.

"What result?" A Golden Garden Elder at the scene asked in a deep voice.

"The result of today's battle at the Lord Lingxiao Wu Yuan is out. Daliang won!"

"Just this?"

The Golden Garden Elders had expressions of displeasure. They had already known the result of this battle. The final winner would still be Daliang. The three islands of Nansha were being used by others this time.

Seeing the expressions of the elders didn't change, the middle-aged man was a bit surprised. Could it be that the elders already knew the news?

But that wasn't right. Apart from himself, no one else had come here. Where did the elders get the news?

The middle-aged man looked at Zhao Qianqiu and suddenly realized. He remembered that person was discovered by Elder Zhao.

"It was my subordinate who was too excited. With Elder Zhao here, the elders should have known the result of this battle long ago. Subordinate will take his leave."

Zhang Shunan was so excited not only because Lin Chen was also a member of the Wu Yuan, but mainly because he was also a Daliang martial artist. Lin Chen winning this time was too satisfying.

"Wait!"

Zhao Qianqiu called out to Zhang Shunan: "What do you mean by this?"

Zhang Shunan stopped, turned his head to see the puzzled eyes of the elders, and was a bit confused again: "Lin Chen defeated the three Yu Beichen brothers. Don't the elders know about this?"

"Lin Chen defeated Yu Beichen?"

Zhao Qianqiu's fair right hand slapped the armrest, and the armrest instantly turned into powder. She also stood up, the originally wrinkled long skirt sliding down, revealing a beautiful figure.

"Say it again?"

"In the first competition, Di Qian and the three lost to the Yu Beichen brothers. Later, Lin Chen appeared and went on stage with the other two to fight the Yu Beichen brothers. This battle was won!" Zhang Shunan didn't understand why Elder Zhao was so excited, but still answered quickly.

"I understand!"

The old man at the head suddenly laughed after a brief shock.

"This should have been arranged by the Daliang Imperial Court, letting Lin Chen and the disciples of the five clans of Guanzhong go on stage together. This way, at least it left some face for Kong Qifeng, so that the Martial Administration Force wouldn't be under such pressure. It can be considered painstaking."

"It should be like this. This handling is indeed good. Looking at it this way, the strength of Cui Yunfan and the others should be very strong, able to fight two against three. As for Lin Chen... he was just standing on the stage."

Another Golden Garden Elder on the side also echoed with a smile. Lin Chen had only reached the Organ Cultivation Stage for how long? Letting him go on stage was more like a mascot role on the side.

This was to take care of the face of Kong Qifeng and the Martial Administration Force!

Giving face to Kong Qifeng and the Martial Administration Force, and then pushing the Martial Administration Force to change the policy, Kong Qifeng could also step down from the slope.

"The five clans of Guanzhong have some calculations."

Zhang Shunan listened to the elders' words, completely confused. What five clans of Guanzhong, what face for Minister Kong, he couldn't understand.

"Elders, this battle was won because of Lin Chen. Lin Chen and the other two went on stage. The two of them were tricked by the Yu Beichen brothers as soon as they went on stage and were seriously injured. Just when everyone thought Daliang was going to lose, Lin Chen took out a bow and arrow, one arrow for each, and defeated the Yu Beichen brothers with only three arrows."

Seeing that the elders seemed to have misunderstood, Zhang Shunan couldn't help it anymore and described the detailed process of the competition. Speaking to the end, he couldn't help but make the gesture of drawing a bow with both hands.

In the courtyard, it was instantly silent!

After a long while, a pleasant laughter came out.

Zhao Qianqiu looked at the stunned expressions of these four people and only felt it was so ironic.

"Alright, I'm going to see Lin Chen now. Elders, why don't you discuss it for a while."

Zhao Qianqiu drifted away. She was going to see Lin Chen.

Originally, she only had some interest in Lin Chen and did it casually. She didn't expect Lin Chen to give her such a surprise.

"By the way, regarding the Hidden Dragon List, I have to trouble the elders to go and renegotiate the rankings with the elders of other countries."

Walking to the door, Zhao Qianqiu turned back, smiling.

"Elder Zhao, go ahead. We will definitely argue for the Hidden Dragon List. At least the current ranking of Lin Chen on the Hidden Dragon List is too low."

The four elders in the courtyard also reacted at this moment, but there was no anger on their faces.

Because they also reacted. Even if they were slapped in the face this time, Lin Chen's performance was so bright, meaning the ranking on the Hidden Dragon List would change, and this also counted as their credit.

Although the main credit was Elder Zhao's, they could also share the light.

Zhao Qianqiu turned gracefully. She wasn't worried about Lin Chen's ranking on the Hidden Dragon List. These four had strong selfishness, but precisely because they had strong selfishness, they would definitely fight for every inch of their interests.

"I heard from Yan He'an that Lin Chen wanted to see me several times."

Thinking of Yan He'an's notification that Lin Chen wanted to see her several times to express his gratitude in person, Zhao Qianqiu's red lips hooked into a beautiful arc.
