Chapter 256: Seat Arrangement
Translator: Flying Lines
Edited by Lord Immortal
While Ruan Lingdu was taunting, many people beside him also showed amused smiles. Chu Feng’s action was somewhat too rash. Was it his right to own the position of the chief VIP?
Such an action of putting himself on a pedestal was like a buffoon who performed antics to garner attention.
Under everyone’s mocking gaze, Chu Feng felt like there was a knife on his back. His heart couldn’t help feeling humiliated again.
Over the years, although he had been repeatedly ostracized and ridiculed, it was the first time that he had been scoffed at by so many people as he was today.
Chu Feng took a deep breath and looked at the attendant beside him. His voice was cold, “Who arranged this seat?”
He wanted to search for the truth and find out whether somebody was secretly pushing him to an embarrassing situation or there were some other reasons for this seat arrangement.
The attendant was stunned and quickly replied with respect, “Elder, your invitation letter shows that this seat is exactly for you.”
Chu Feng couldn’t help but take out the invitation letter and read it carefully. He blurted, “That’s true.”
Seeing this scene, Ruan Lingdu laughed even harder. If he had not wanted to lose his demeanor due to the occasion, he would have liked to go forward and humiliate Chu Feng by himself.
Even some men beside him could not help shaking their heads. Chu Feng, the head of the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists, was really disgraceful.
The movement on this side attracted the attention of many people in the distance. A middle-aged supervisor came up immediately to check out the disturbance. When he asked about the situation, he was surprised, “Chu Feng, may I ask who gave you this invitation letter?”
Chu Feng looked at Ruan Lingdu in the distance, and then said to the middle-aged supervisor, “I came here on behalf of Childe Lin Xun.”
The middle-aged administrator suddenly laughed, “That’s right. This position is just for Childe Lin Xun.”
Chu Feng was stunned when he heard that. This distinguished guest position was really for Lin Xun.
He was relaxed and sat in his seat, completely ignoring the teasing eyes around him.
Watching this scene, Ruan Lingdu, who had been laughing proudly, suddenly had a stiff face and stopped laughing. He looked incredulous with his mouth opened wide as if it had been stuffed with an egg.
All the dignitaries beside him were also stunned. How could this be?
It was impossible for Chu Feng with his identity qualified enough to sit in the ranks of the chief VIPs.
“Was there a mistake?”
Ruan Lingdu’s heart surged with a strong unwillingness. He couldn’t help questioning the middle-aged supervisor with a frown.
“Mister, there is no mistake. The arrangement of the chief position is overseen by the owner. There is no room for even a slight mistake.”
The middle-aged supervisor answered with a smile.
“But how can Chu Feng be qualified to sit there?”
Ruan Lingdu asked with an unhappy face. He was somewhat confused by the fact.
“The seat you mentioned was originally for Childe Lin Xun. Chu Feng is attending the ceremony in place of Childe Lin Xun.”
The middle-aged supervisor answered casually.
Ruan Lingdu blurted, “What shit Childe Lin Xun is! Who is he?”
Immediately, he noticed many VIPs around him looking at him strangely.
Wait a moment.
Lin Xun!
Suddenly, Ruan Lingdu was also completely awakened from his anger and delusions. He could not help but sweat all over his body. It turned out to be that fierce figure.
Ruan Lingdu had also heard about the battle of the rainy night that happened a few days ago. As a counselor of Governor Liu Wujun, he even knew what the Heiyao Card that appeared that night represented.
The last battle between Lin Xun and Huang Jianchen, the practitioner from the aristocratic family of the Forbidden City, made Ruan Lingdu realize the horror of Lin Xun. Even the young generation of the Forbidden City could not deal with him. It could be imagined how powerful Lin’s origin must be.
“I see.”
Ruan Lingdu muttered and finally understood why the VIPs next to him had looked at him weirdly. These guys obviously knew how strong Lin Xu was.
A few of them had even received Heiyao Card at their homes.
When he looked again at Chu Feng who was sitting in the chief distinguished guest seat, Ruan Lingdu’s eyes became extremely gloomy.
Recalling that he had just laughed at Chu Feng’s arrogance, Ruan Lingdu felt his cheeks burning like he was slapped on the face.
And those VIPs also looked a little unnatural. With their identity, although they could have a place in this hall, they still had no way to sit in the position of the chief VIP.
However, people like Chu Feng, in the name of Lin Xun, had a seat in the top ranks, which was undoubtedly a silent counterattack that made them all feel uneasy for a while.
But in their minds, they were equally surprised. What happened to Lin Xun? After all, he was only a teenager. Why did he qualify for the position of distinguished guest?
Such an arrangement was too absurd.
Of course, there might have been some other reasons for this arrangement. Perhaps, in the view of the Keystone Business’s cabinet, Lin Xun had enough background to have the position of the chief guest. If so, it would be unusual.
An unknown teenager was able to let Heiyao Card appear to escort him. Later, although he offended the disciples of the Forbidden City, they could do nothing to him.
And now, even Keystone Business had given him the honor of the chief guest in the Centennial Celebration.
How couldn’t they be shocked by all this?
Chu Feng was also feeling rather sentimental at the moment. It was hard to imagine how much disregard and exclusion he would have suffered if it hadn’t been for Lin Xun’s invitation letter today.
He never thought that Lin Xun’s relationship with Keystone Business was so good that he was arranged for the position of the chief VIP guest. Who wouldn’t be shocked when they knew such a privilege was given to a teenager?
Before long, all the distinguished guests who could attend the celebration had arrived. Beside Chu Feng, there were many influential and powerful figures: Wei Lingzhen, the president of Mist College; Du Dongtu, the leader of Ziling Army; Young Sword King, Shie Yutang; and great practitioner, Yao Tuohai.
Liu Wujun, the governor of the Southwestern Province, was sitting beside Chu Feng.
The funniest thing was that Ruan Lingdu came with Liu Wujun and did not have a seat so he could only stand on the side of Liu Wujun and serve him.
But Chu Feng sat in front of Ruan Lingdu.
This scene made Ruan Lingdu almost bite his teeth. For more than ten years, he had been humiliating Chu Feng. How was it the turn of Chu Feng to sit with honor while he was standing?
If it were on another occasion, Ruan Lingdu would have definitely walked away. But now, he could only stand there like a stake and accompany the governor, Liu Wujun, until the end of the celebration.
Undoubtedly, this was a great torment for Ruan Lingdu.
All this undoubtedly made Chu Feng happy and grateful to Lin Xun. If it hadn’t been for Lin Xun, how could he possibly have such an honor today?
The most interesting thing was that when Wei Lingzhen, Yao Tuohai, Shie Yutang and others learned that Chu Feng had come instead of Lin and this seat was originally prepared for Lin Xun, the looks of these great men also became subtle.
Wei Lingzhen and Du Dongtu looked at each other and smiled. They secretly lamented that Lin Xun, who they had just learned of, was really out of their expectations.
Yao Tuohai’s eyes narrowed, and his heart had a touch of complexity surging out. There were mixed feelings of anger and fear. In the past, how could he put Lin Xun, that little ant, in his eyes?
But after experiencing so many things, he was smart enough to understand that the young man who had been oppressed by him in Donglin Town was really different from the past.
But his fear was not due to Lin’s strength. As a Tao Insight Realm practitioner, Yao Tuohai was afraid of the forces behind Lin Xun. Lin Xun was still a little ant in his eyes.
As for Shie Yutang, he just frowned and didn’t say much, but his heart was not immune to a hint of impatience. Why was it Lin Xun again?
Governor Liu Wujun sat there silently, dignified and motionless. But when he heard Lin Xun’s name, he couldn’t help but notice that it was the third time he had heard this name.
The first time was before the night slaughter in the rain that happened a few days ago.
The second time was at the duel in the arena.
Now, it was the third time. It was difficult for Liu Wujun not to pay attention to it.
Shortly after, the Centenary Celebration of Keystone Business began. Graceful Mu Wansu appeared on a white jade platform in the center of the hall.
She wore a black dress with a mature, masterly, and elegant temperament, charming and beautiful like a black rose which could refresh people’s eyes.
Everyone realized that the celebration had finally begun.
At the same time, Lin Xun, who had been practicing for a long time, woke up from his deep meditation and opened his eyes.
Whoosh~
Suddenly, a light was shot out of his eyes and cut through the darkness in the room like a god’s ray.
At this moment, Lin Xun’s spirits were like boiling lava. A wisp of illusory azure luster lingered on the skin and appeared clean and holy, exuding a kind of aloof aura.
His dark eyes were deep and pure as stars. There was no trace of youth and tenderness on his sharp and handsome face. Now he had a calm and comfortable charm that could only be acquired after a long time of training.
He had finally reached the perfected Human-gang Realm.
Lin Xun exhaled a long breath. It tore the air with a whistle and pierced a hole in the wall like a thunderbolt.
His breath was like thunder!
This was the unique symbol of a man who had successfully stepped into the perfect state of Human-gang Realm.
In Lin Xun’s body, blue spiritual power wandering in the Pond of Spirit Power was transformed by the windstorm whirlpool. It was pure with a mysterious luster, constantly rotated with the whirlpool and set off a circle of ripples.
The aura released from it was strong enough to cast a sting over the spines of countless practitioners of the same realm. They would not believe that there could be such a terrible and powerful spirit among Human-gang practitioners.
