Chapter 1794: Chapter 1792: Fairness
"President, I advise you to think carefully about this. The reason our Ancient Martial Arts Association has been able to form and thrive till now is entirely due to the support of major top-class factions and various forces. Among them, the top-class factions have been our strong backbone. Now, suddenly offending the Leisurely Sect, Flying Dragon Sect, and Yan Hall, three top-class factions, I’m afraid our Ancient Martial Arts Association won’t be able to bear it!"
Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment, looking at Zhao Qingshan and advised.
"So what are you suggesting? To simply shut out the Chen Family to please those three top-class factions? Then what is the purpose of the existence of our Ancient Martial Arts Association? The association was originally established to be neutral, with the goal of expanding the Ancient Martial World!"
"Thus, the Ancient Martial Arts Association should be able to accommodate any faction, even if the Chen Family is just a newly established small family. If it is qualified, we should let it be promoted to an Ancient Martial force."
"Instead of rejecting the Chen Family’s promotion because it has enmity with three top-class factions, thereby listening to these factions. In doing so, the Ancient Martial Arts Association will no longer be neutral and will become a lackey to these forces. Is that the association you want?"
Zhao Qingshan looked at Yang Zhen, speaking sternly.
"President, I understand your point, but we must also face reality, don’t you agree? The foundation of the Ancient Martial Arts Association’s establishment lies with the support of top-class factions. Without their support, our association is nothing, and who would listen to us? If we proceed like this, our association will surely decline!"
Yang Zhen spoke with a bitter expression.
In essence, he genuinely cares for the good of the Ancient Martial Arts Association.
He understands that the association must remain neutral, showing no preference to any side.
Even if the Chen Family is against the three top-class factions, as long as it’s qualified, the association should promote the Chen Family to an Ancient Martial force.
But he also knows.
The association’s existence till now relies heavily on the support of top-class factions. Without their backing, the association will hold no status within the Ancient Martial World.
Now, if a small Chen Family offends three major factions,
it could be detrimental to the Ancient Martial Arts Association, causing losses with no gains!
"Let it decline, if it must. If our esteemed Ancient Martial Arts Association lacks the backbone for even this, what’s the point of its existence? Yang Zhen, hear me clearly: Since its inception, the association has preached neutrality and fairness. Without fairness and neutrality, it might as well not exist! Do you get my point?"
Zhao Qingshan glared at Yang Zhen and spoke coldly.
"This..."
Yang Zhen smiled bitterly, then sighed, saying, "President, please don’t be mad. I’m just sharing what I presently think should be said. As for the decision, you’re the president, you make the call! Whatever consequences arise later, our association will bear them together. I, Yang Zhen, have no intention of evading responsibility, only seeking a better path for our association. But you’re right, the crux of our association lies in neutrality, fairness, and justice, not in fearing power and oppressing the weak, so I agree with you!"
"That’s more like it! Yang Zhen, when I promoted you to Vice President of the Ancient Martial Arts Association, it wasn’t because of your strength at the Heavenly Rank Late Stage Peak, but because I know you have a sense of measure in your heart. Although with the Chen Family and the three major factions, your measure is slightly tilted, that’s due to the immense pressure from the three big factions. But I believe you can still uphold true fairness in the future. Can I trust in this?"
Zhao Qingshan smiled and nodded, looking at Yang Zhen.
"President, rest assured, I will certainly strive to ensure fairness!"
Yang Zhen hurriedly assured.
"That’s good, then please assist the Chen Family Patriarch in completing the Chen Family’s power certification. Process all paperwork swiftly, especially since you’ve already rejected them eight times, which has brought negative effects to our association. You need to actively work to eliminate these impacts, understood?"
Zhao Qingshan instructed.
"President, rest assured, I will personally handle it!"
Yang Zhen nodded, then looked at Chen Feng, apologetically saying, "Chen Feng, although I may not be a gentleman, I’m definitely not a villain. Before, we were just acting on behalf of our respective sides; you attacked our association, and I resisted you. But now, since the air is cleared, let bygones be bygones. Provide me with your family’s documents, and I’ll immediately handle your family’s certification myself!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng also smiled slightly.
It seems Yang Zhen’s character is actually commendable.
The previous circumstances were indeed warranted, so there’s no need for further pursuit.
Then he directly turned to Mu Dongcheng beside him and said, "Uncle Mu, you handle the certification process with Vice President Yang for our Chen Family!"
"Alright, Xiaofeng, I’ll go with him now!"
Mu Dongcheng nodded and then, with the Chen Family’s documents, followed Yang Zhen into the Ancient Martial Arts Association.
"You may disperse now!"
Zhao Qingshan turned to look at the Third Elder, Fifth Elder, and those adept in white robes, gesturing them away.
Upon hearing this, the Third Elder, Fifth Elder, and the others dared not object, swiftly leaving.
Soon, only Chen Feng, Zhao Qingshan, and the Devouring Sky Python were left before the Xuanwu Sect’s entrance.
"Swallow Sky, step back!"
Chen Feng turned to look at the Devouring Sky Python and said calmly.
"Yes, Lord!"
The Devouring Sky Python nodded, and in an instant, shrunk down, transforming into a beam of blue light absorbed into Chen Feng’s Space Ring.
Watching this unfold, Zhao Qingshan thoughtfully nodded and then looked at Chen Feng, smilingly saying, "Chen Family Patriarch, the matters within have been discussed openly. Please don’t hold previous misunderstandings against us. Rest assured, as long as I, Zhao Qingshan, draw breath, the Ancient Martial Arts Association will remain neutral and not a lackey to any faction. Therefore, the tensions between you and several top factions remain your concern—our association will not interfere nor let them affect your family’s certification as an Ancient Martial force!"
