Chapter 1793: Chapter 1791: Utter Nonsense
However, Zhao Qingshan lives up to being the President of the Ancient Martial Arts Association.
Having seen much of the world, he quickly put away his expression, restored his calm, and then looked at Chen Feng, asking lightly, "I wonder what offense my Ancient Martial Arts Association has made to you two, for you to take such drastic actions and directly storm into our association?"
"Are you the President of the Ancient Martial Arts Association?"
Chen Feng looked at Zhao Qingshan and asked.
"That’s right! I am indeed the President of the Ancient Martial Arts Association. What is your business exactly? If you can’t provide a reasonable explanation today, then I can only treat you as an enemy provoking our association!"
Zhao Qingshan nodded and said coldly.
"You want an explanation, do you? Coincidentally, I also want an explanation! Why has my Chen Family’s certification application for a martial arts force been rejected eight times consecutively by your Vice President, and upon my visit, I only wished to complete the certification for the Chen Family through normal channels!"
"But as a result, your association’s people blocked our entry and even tried to attack us, leaving me no choice but to retaliate!"
"Earlier, I saw your association’s Vice President and asked him for the reason behind rejecting our Chen Family’s certification as a martial arts force. He actually said it’s because we, the Chen Family, are an eyesore. So today, President, please give me a reasonable explanation!"
Chen Feng said neither subserviently nor overbearingly.
There wasn’t the slightest sense of disadvantage due to the other party’s status or strength.
"Force certification?"
Zhao Qingshan frowned and immediately turned his head to look at Yang Zhen, asking, "What exactly is going on?"
"President, you may not be aware, this Chen Family has been established for a short time, even less than half a year. Their strength and qualifications are unknown, and there is no detailed information, all of which require time to investigate. If everything is not examined and they are promoted to a martial arts force just like that, then when other forces stir up trouble, we will have a hard time explaining, wouldn’t you agree?"
Yang Zhen hurriedly explained.
"Hmm, makes sense!"
Zhao Qingshan nodded and then turned to Chen Feng, saying, "You’ve heard the Vice President’s words! Your Chen Family has been established for too short a time, and true strength, qualifications, and all aspects need to be slowly assessed. If you genuinely wish to be promoted to a martial arts force, please go back and continue patiently waiting. Once our Ancient Martial Arts Association determines that your Chen Family truly has the qualifications to be promoted, then rest assured, we will absolutely welcome your Chen Family into the Ancient Martial World family!"
"Our Chen Family’s strength? Is what we’ve displayed not enough?"
Chen Feng frowned and asked coldly.
After speaking, he directly released his early stage Heaven Rank aura.
The Devouring Sky Python did the same, fully revealing its Heaven Rank Perfection aura.
In an instant, the suppression of both Heaven Rank experts was released simultaneously.
At that moment, the white-clad experts present, whose strengths were only at the Earth Rank, naturally couldn’t withstand this level of majesty, and their faces immediately became quite unsightly.
Seeing this, Zhao Qingshan, with a move of his mind, hurriedly released his own aura to counteract that of Chen Feng and the Devouring Sky Python.
In this way, the faces of those white-clad experts improved somewhat, and the pressure on them significantly reduced.
"Chen Family Patriarch, please calm down! I believe you can feel it; I and the Ancient Martial Arts Association do not wish to be enemies with your Chen Family. Since its establishment, our association has remained neutral in the Ancient Martial World, never engaging in any disputes, so I ask you not to force our association!"
Zhao Qingshan said in a deep voice.
"Am I the one forcing you? If your Ancient Martial Arts Association had followed the proper procedures to complete the certification of our Chen Family’s strength, then I think today’s situation wouldn’t have occurred!"
Chen Feng said with a cold laugh.
"So?"
Zhao Qingshan squinted his eyes and asked coldly.
"Complete the certification for the Chen Family now, and we will withdraw immediately!"
Chen Feng said coldly.
"That won’t do, we must follow the proper procedures. Our Ancient Martial Arts Association must confirm that your Chen Family has all the qualifications for promotion to a martial arts force before giving you the certification. At the very least, we should wait until we finish reviewing your Chen Family’s documentation before making a decision, correct?"
Zhao Qingshan attempted to negotiate.
"We have submitted our Chen Family’s documents to you eight times; your Vice President didn’t even look at them and just kept saying no. Fine, let’s count those eight times as nothing! I have brought the documents again this time, and now I hand them over to you as the President. Please take a look at our Chen Family’s documents yourself. If you still think we are unqualified, we will leave immediately!"
Chen Feng said in a deep voice.
He then directly extracted all of the Chen Family’s documents from the Space Ring and handed them to Zhao Qingshan.
Zhao Qingshan took the documents, glanced at them carefully, and his face turned grim immediately.
He turned his head and glared at Yang Zhen fiercely, saying coldly, "Is this what you call unqualified? From both the strength of Heaven Rank experts and the number of Earth Rank experts, as well as the size of their family’s land and potential for force development, the Chen Family clearly meets the qualifications for martial arts force certification, why did you reject their certification eight times consecutively?"
"President, I... I’d better discuss this with you privately!"
Yang Zhen’s expression changed, slightly troubled.
"No, you must explain everything clearly in front of this Chen Family Patriarch. Otherwise, how can our Ancient Martial Arts Association maintain credibility in the future?"
Zhao Qingshan said coldly, his face dark.
"This..."
Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment, then sighed deeply, looked at Zhao Qingshan, and said, "President, the reason I repeatedly rejected the Chen Family’s force certification application is due to pressure from opposing forces. The Chen Family has made too many enemies, including the first-rate forces of the Leisurely Sect, Flying Dragon Sect, and Nether Flame Hall! These forces have long anticipated that the Chen Family would submit a certification application to our association, so they collaborated in preparation, contacting me in advance to ensure the Chen Family’s certification is denied, or else they will take some unfriendly actions against our association!"
"Nonsense! The Ancient Martial Arts Association has always been a neutral organization in the Ancient Martial World, so how can we get involved in grievances among different forces? We’ve always been neutral, yet you involve yourself in their affairs; how can our association remain completely fair in the future?"
Zhao Qingshan glared at Yang Zhen fiercely, said displeased.
"I had no choice either, the pressure from these first-rate forces was too great. Even though our Ancient Martial Arts Association has always been neutral, if these three first-rate forces were to ally against us, our association wouldn’t be able to withstand it!"
Yang Zhen said with a face full of helplessness.
"That still doesn’t justify this behavior, the Chen Family already possesses the qualifications for promotion to a martial arts force, thus they should be approved! Not swayed by other forces’ contacts or pressure, we shouldn’t show favoritism here. I’ll personally reach out to make things clear with the Leisurely Sect, Nether Flame Hall, and Flying Dragon Sect. Meanwhile, you should quickly proceed with the Chen Family’s certification paperwork, understood?"
Zhao Qingshan glared at Yang Zhen and said coldly.
