Chapter 2133: Chapter 2133: Wulin Tournament IV (5)
The gazes of the former father and son met in the air, but Tang Kun, feeling guilty, was the first to look away.
Tang Wanqian also took a deep breath, barely restraining himself from questioning the other party outright, and suppressing the urge to throttle him then and there.
"Father, it’s getting late, we should begin and let everyone be seated first," Ming Ru reminded, "We can discuss anything after the meeting."
"Come, everyone please take your seats," Ming Yu nodded and hurriedly led the group towards the viewing platform.
Technically, there was only supposed to be one seat here, but because of the special status, Ming Yu insisted on adding three more, arranging seats for four elders.
Yang Ruxin, Gu Qingheng, and others stood behind the four elders.
As for the others, they actually had seats, but to accompany Yang Ruxin and Gu Qingheng, they didn’t go to their sides, instead gathering behind the elders, chatting casually. Everyone was curious about when Yang Ruxin became an esteemed guest of the Ming Family.
In response, Yang Ruxin could only briefly explain that the Ming family siblings were kidnapped by human traffickers, and she happened to rescue them.
The crowd suddenly understood and stopped probing further, while Fa Qingyang and Xiu Yunzheng began introducing the various sects present.
"Was Emei already around in this era? Does that mean there’s an extinct nun?" Yu Qingge asked excitedly.
Yang Ruxin twitched the corner of her mouth.
"What do you mean by this era?" Xiu Yunzheng frowned, "Miss Yu, what other era are you thinking of? The Emei Sect got its name from being on Emei Mountain, and it’s been around for over a hundred years. Who is the extinct nun?"
Yu Qingge coughed twice: "Well...I was just making it up."
"She likes to make up stories," Yang Ruxin had to help smooth things over.
Xiu Yunzheng did not pursue the matter further.
Meanwhile, Song San, looking at Yang Ruxin’s smiling face, closed his eyes slightly. What should he do? Kill or not kill? He was reluctant to kill her, realizing he was truly moved, but if he didn’t, his grand ambitions might be ruined by this woman...
While Song San was in turmoil, everyone else took their seats, though many began plotting in their minds. It’s not often one gets to see Dao Xuzi, so they should take the opportunity to build connections. Even if they couldn’t get a response from the old man, befriending his disciples would be worthwhile. And if that didn’t work, at least they should get familiar with the people around him...
Of course, there were also some with less pure thoughts, contemplating some sinister schemes, and whether they would act or succeed remained to be seen.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Ming Yu had already stepped onto the stage, cupping his fists towards the crowd below, "The Wulin assembly, which takes place every five years, was delayed by a year, but finally, it’s happening."
The chattering crowd immediately fell silent.
"Let’s cut to the chase, in Wulin, the strong are revered," Ming Yu glanced at the crowd, "I have been honored by everyone to serve as the Alliance Hierarch for two terms." He paused, "However, the emergence of talents in Wulin is a blessing..."
"The purpose of the Wulin assembly is to discover those who are both highly skilled in martial arts and morally upright. The more such individuals there are, the more flourishing our Wulin will become," Ming Yu smiled, "I hope someone even more capable will step up to replace me. Well then, let’s begin."
"Can anyone participate?" someone shouted from the crowd.
