Chapter 776: Skepticism! (2/2)
In the palace, Chen Guang Yu sat down on the Dragon Throne. Lin Feng and Jing Wu Hen sat down to his sides.
“Lin Feng, we have to plan for the Competition,” Chen Guang Yu frowned. Lin Feng’s injuries had healed. He had fought against Jing Wu Hen, and Chen Guang Yu had seen that Lin Feng could easy finish in the top ten at the Competition.
“Lin Feng, you are going to participate in the Great Competition as well?” asked Jing Wu Hen when he heard Chen Guang Yu. He was surprised.
Lin Feng nodded indifferently. He told Jing Wu Hen the whole story. In the end, Jing Wu Hen nodded and said, “It’s a good thing for you anyway.”
“But you need a spot and an invitation to participate. How are you going to obtain them?” asked Jing Wu Hen, frowning. The Great Competition of the West wasn’t an ordinary Competition. It was a Competition for the strongest and proudest geniuses of the Country of Eternity, and there were only a limited number of spots.
“A spot and an invitation?” Lin Feng looked at Chen Guang Yu skeptically. He didn’t know about that. Chen Guang Yu had asked him to participate, so he had probably sorted that out for Lin Feng already?
Chen Guang Yu seemed embarrassed. He had forgotten that Jing Wu Hen had also participated in the Great Competition. He had even ranked third. He had to be more precise.
“Eh… I will find a solution for that, but I need you to come to the ancient sect, Brother Lin Feng,” said Chen Guang Yu blushing.
Lin Feng frowned.
He needed to go to the ancient sect for a spot and an invitation?
“Chen Guang Yu, you invited me to participate in the Competition. I didn’t take the initiative to ask you to help me to participate. If there are things you can’t sort out, I don’t mind, I won’t participate,” Lin Feng said angrily.
Chen Guang Yu was nervous. If Lin Feng didn’t participate, he would go alone, in which case he wasn’t even sure he would manage to qualify for the second rounds of the Competition.
“No, no, no. I will sort everything out. But yes, the Competition for free spots is intense. My ancient sect only has six. There’s one for me of course, but the five other spots are taken, too,” sighed Chen Guang Yu. When he had invited Lin Feng to participate, he had kind of forgotten that detail. Without a spot and an invitation, Lin Feng couldn’t participate!
“What do you mean?” Lin Feng frowned. If Chen Guang Yu couldn’t sort everything out himself, then it meant that Lin Feng had to do something?
“Lin Feng, I need your help. I hope you can help me get another spot,” said Chen Guang Yu. He had to rely on Lin Feng’s help to obtain some spots. It was the only solution he could think of.
Jing Wu Hen remained silent, calmly listening. When he heard Chen Guang Yu, he smiled coldly.
“Hehe, I understand now. You want to use Lin Feng. You don’t care about his spot, all you care about is your own spot!” Jing Wu Hen declared angrily.
Lin Feng looked at Chen Guang Yu. Lin Feng initially didn’t want to resort to verbal aggression to make Chen Guang Yu speak, but Jing Wu Hen was a bit more impulsive than him.
Chen Guang Yu’s expression changed drastically. He shook his head hastily and explained, “No, no! That’s not what I meant at all.”
“Since it’s not what you meant, why did you invite Lin Feng to participate in the Great Competition, even though you’re not even sure you can get him an invitation and a spot? What did you think? That Lin Feng would go and get his own invitation and his own spot?!” demanded Jing Wu Hen impatiently.
Chen Guang Yu was furious but what could he do? “Alright, I will get two spots within five days, alright?” said Chen Guang Yu, taking a deep breath. He stood up and promptly left the palace. He felt awkward.
Chen Guang Yu went to try and sort out the situation. He didn’t want Lin Feng to misunderstand him. What Jing Wu Hen had said could ruin Chen Guang Yu and Lin Feng’s relationship. It simply came down to sowing discord between them.
