Chapter 1008 - Storm Of Criticism (5)

Unfortunately, after hearing his words, no one in the various branch presidents dared to say such words. After all, no one was stupid. Who would take the risk of offending Mo Yan and Liu Feng to help Yao Yuan! Yao Yuan had made a mistake and had someone to help clean up the mess, but they didn’t!

“Since no one doesn’t want to be a judge except President Yao, please leave the meeting room!” Liu Feng ordered coldly.

“You want me to leave the meeting room? On what basis?” Yao Yuan said angrily.

“Is there a need for that? We’re discussing something related to the competition now. You’re not a judge, so you naturally don’t have the right to listen.” Liu Feng chuckled. He really didn’t know what was wrong with Yao Yuan’s brain to actually dare to question him.

“I’m the president of the Flame City Artificer Association!” Yao Yuan emphasized.

“Yes! You’re the president, and I’m only the vice president. No wonder you refused to listen to my orders.” Liu Feng teased with a mischievous smile.

“Uh!” Yao Yuan was speechless and looked at Yin Rumei for help.

However, Yin Rumei acted as if she didn’t see it and only said indifferently, “President Yao, in that case, you can leave first!”

“Lord Rumei!” Yao Yuan was shocked. What did this woman mean! She actually didn’t help him! Hmph! Damn old woman, just you wait. I’ll teach you a lesson.

“Retreat first!” Yin Rumei said with a stern expression.

“Yes.” Yao Yuan suppressed his anger and slammed the door as he left the meeting room.

“Alright, President Yao has already withdrawn. President Lu, you are temporarily in charge of the judging work. Now, go and present the equipment refined by those blacksmiths. His Excellency Mo Yan and I want to take a look personally,” Liu Feng instructed.

Originally, President Lu was also locked up by them like Yao Yuan. However, after Yin Rumei released Yao Yuan, he and Mo Yan ordered for everyone else to be released at the same time. Hmph! Let them fight each other!

“Yes!” President Lu nodded fearfully, his face full of helplessness. Boohoo… He really didn’t want to be involved in the scheming of these higher-ups! However, it was impossible to back down now. Well! It could also be said that the other party didn’t allow him to come down at all, so he could only accept his fate and choose a side.

Not long after President Lu left the meeting room, he returned with a storage ring in his hand.

“Your Excellency Mo Yan, Your Excellency Liu Feng, the equipment refined by the artificers participating in the competition is inside. Please take a look,” President Lu said very respectfully.

“Yes.” Mo Yan nodded and took out the equipment from the ring. He said to Liu Feng, “For the fairness of the competition, we have to work harder.”

“It’s alright, this bit of equipment is nothing,” Liu Feng replied indifferently. As for Yin Rumei, she was ignored by the two of them.

Yin Rumei was furious when she saw that the two of them had no intention of asking her for help at all! However, in order to show the others who were sitting, she had to act united. “How could you forget me? I can help you check together.”

“There’s no need. Just rest,” Mo Yan said coldly.

“That’s right! How can a beauty like you do such manual labor!” Liu Feng did not intend to let this annoying woman interfere. Otherwise, who knew what she would do?

“You guys are really considerate!” Yin Rumei gritted her teeth and said hatefully.

“Of course! How can I not be protective of the only woman here?!” Liu Feng teased. However, his actions were not delayed at all. In the blink of an eye, he evaluated the score of an equipment and recorded it.

The two of them worked for nearly an hour. All the equipment was finally checked, and the mistakes in the scores were corrected. The speed at which the two of them moved also stunned the judges who were sitting.

Oh my god! This was really fast! Nearly a thousand pieces of equipment were evaluated in less than an hour! The judges couldn’t help but sigh in their hearts. At the same time, their admiration for Mo Yan and Liu Feng rose to a new height.

“President Lu, rearrange the scores that Sir Liu Feng and I have evaluated and announce the results according to this.” Mo Yan handed his and Liu Feng’s records to President Lu.

“Yes,” President Lu replied respectfully. Then, he took Mo Yan and Liu Feng’s records and started sorting them out.

“Sir Mo Yan and I have checked all the equipment and found many wrong results inside. Can any of you tell me what’s going on?” At this moment, Liu Feng said lightly. Hmph! He wouldn’t have known if he didn’t check, but once he did, he was shocked! If it weren’t for him and Mo Yan, many outstanding blacksmiths would probably have been cast aside by them. Thinking of this, the anger in his heart surged.

As soon as Liu Feng said this, all the judges lowered their heads. No one dared to look at him, let alone say a word. Otherwise, they would probably be the punching bag for His Excellency Liu Feng.

“Hmph! I can guess what’s going on even if you don’t say it. However, what I want to tell you is that His Excellency Mo Yan and I won’t pursue the matter from before. If there’s a next time, all of you get out of the Artificer Association. Our Artificer Association can’t afford to lose face,” Liu Feng said loudly.

Actually, he knew very well who was the culprit behind this matter, so he did not intend to make an example out of these people. After all, these people were not important enough to serve as a warning to others. Otherwise, how could he let them off so easily!

“Yes! Yes!” When the judges present heard Liu Feng’s words, most of their hearts were relieved. There were even people who could not help but wipe the cold sweat on their foreheads. They thought to themselves, ‘That was close! This round is finally over.’

“President Lu, announce the results immediately after you’re done! If anything happens, you can come to me directly,” Mo Yan said. He believed that nothing would happen again.

“Yes,” President Lu replied. After the results were sorted out, he directly announced it to prevent any accidents.

Once the results were announced, there were naturally some who were happy and some who were sad.

In the first round of the competition, Old Man Zao entered the top three as Leng Ruoxue had expected. Moreover, he was first place. However, there was only a one point difference between him and the second place. It was a narrow victory.

After the first round of the competition ended, nearly 200 people would be eliminated. It was definitely considered the best of the best. Moreover, as the competition progressed, the competition would become more and more intense.

Old Man Zao won the first round of the competition, so Leng Ruoxue and the others naturally had to celebrate for him. Therefore, their residence could be said to be very lively.

“Haha! Congratulations, dirty old man.” Feng Da and the others went forward to toast the dirty old man one after another. However, they naturally didn’t drink. Otherwise, if they got Old Man Zao drunk, they wouldn’t be able to compete tomorrow.

“Old Ancestor, what are you thinking?” Leng Ruoxue looked at Leng Xiaoyu’s thoughtful expression and couldn’t help but ask curiously.

“Little Xue’er, the second place on the rankings is the genius Ascender from the Ascender Alliance. You saw it today. His basic skills are quite solid, and his strength is not inferior to Old Man Zao. Therefore, the competition between them will be very intense. Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, the champion should be between the two of them,” Leng Xiaoyu analyzed.

“Old Ancestor, I saw a few people with good strength today. Why are you ignoring the others?” Leng Ruoxue teased.

“Those people’s basic skills can’t compare to the two of them, and this also affects their scores to a certain extent, so their chances of becoming the champion are very slim.” Leng Xiaoyu chuckled.

“Isn’t that Yin Rumei’s disciple? How did you forget about her?” Leng Ruoxue reminded.

“If Yin Rumei doesn’t do anything, it’ll be good enough if her disciple can get third place,” Leng Xiaoyu said in disdain. Yin Rumei’s disciple was third in the first round, and he was certain that this was the result of his master and Sir Liu Feng going easy on her.

“Haha! You actually don’t look at good people. However, I think she seems to have a good impression of you,” Leng Ruoxue said with a wicked smile.

Before the competition started today, a young woman took the initiative to greet them. Later on, she found out that the person was Yin Rumei’s beloved disciple.

“Little Xue’er, are you asking for a beating?!” Leng Xiaoyu pretended to be angry. He was not a rag-and-bone man and would not accept just anyone.
