Chapter 789: Chapter 788 Making Things Difficult

Changtian Martial Arts Hall did not disappoint the crowd, and after the competition among the three martial arts halls had concluded, the current head of Changtian Martial Arts Hall, Li Liangfeng, stood up.

"Patriarch Hu." Li Liangfeng said loudly, "The Hu Family is large and powerful, with numerous experts. Isn’t it a bit too much to compete with the martial arts halls of Liuan City like this?"

Sitting on the platform opposite Changtian Martial Arts Hall, the Hu Family members heard this and Patriarch Hu laughed, "Master Li seems to have a problem with our family’s rules?"

"Just a minor one," Li Liangfeng replied, "Everyone present here is a friend from the martial arts community of Liuan City, and most are also friends of the Martial Alliance. The strength of the Hu Family goes without saying. If we continue like this, not to mention the amount of time we’ll waste. The key point is, certainly many people will get injured, which could easily harm the harmony within our Liuan City martial arts community. I think that the Hu Family’s intention in organizing this competition is to unify, not to damage everyone’s harmony, right?"

Patriarch Hu immediately smiled, "Master Li is absolutely correct, our Hu Family just wants to unite the friends of the Liuan City martial arts community; we really do not wish to harm the harmony. But since ancient times, we martial artists have resolved matters through combat. To shy away from competition doesn’t seem quite appropriate. Tsk, I wonder if Master Li has any method to avoid harming the harmony?"

Li Liangfeng smiled and said loudly, "Actually, I feel that there’s no need for us to fight so many bouts. Looking at the friends who are here today, I see that about ninety percent are friends from the Martial Alliance. Frankly, this competition can essentially be regarded as between the Hu Family and the Martial Alliance. Since that is the case, why not have representatives fight on our behalf? Wouldn’t that solve the problem? It would save everyone’s time, and potentially reduce casualties, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd immediately began to voice their support.

"Master Li is absolutely right; Menghu Martial Arts Hall fully supports this!"

"Master Li is so thorough in his considerations for our Martial Alliance, truly a leader of the Liuan City Martial Arts Alliance. I’m genuinely impressed to the point of admiration!"

"I think Master Li’s proposal couldn’t be any better!"

"..."

In fact, everyone was well aware that they stood no chance of victory in this competition with the Hu Family. It was only after Li Changtian stepped forward that they saw a glimmer of hope, and that hope was for Changtian Martial Arts Hall to stand firm against the Hu Family.

Now, with Li Liangfeng speaking like this, it shifted the matter onto Changtian Martial Arts Hall and the Hu Family. This way, the other martial arts halls wouldn’t need to compete anymore; they could just leave everything to Changtian Martial Arts Hall. Naturally, everyone was very much in favor of this.

Patriarch Hu looked at Li Liangfeng with a faint smile. In reality, he was well aware that Li Changtian’s establishment of the Martial Alliance was to consolidate the power of the Liuan City martial arts halls and lead as their head.

However, Li Changtian did not have enough influence to pressure the other martial arts halls, so for a long time, the Martial Alliance was in name only.

This time, Li Changtian was resolved to use the Hu Family’s event as an opportunity to unite these martial arts halls.

It seemed as though Changtian Martial Arts Hall was standing up for everyone else, but in reality, once the Hu Family matter was resolved, Changtian Martial Arts Hall would consolidate them as well. Only, if Changtian Martial Arts Hall did this, their reputation would sound a lot better.

In the past, Patriarch Hu definitely would not have gone through such thankless trouble. But things were different now.

Patriarch Hu said loudly, "Since Master Li has spoken, let’s do as Master Li suggests. However, I need to ask clearly if everyone agrees with Changtian Martial Arts Hall’s decision. If someone says they are unwilling after the fight is over, wouldn’t we have wasted our efforts for nothing?"

Li Liangfeng’s brow furrowed slightly, he didn’t expect the Hu Family to agree so readily. Could the Hu Family be relying on something?

However, thinking of the expert his father had invited, he felt reassured. Even if the Hu Family really did have something to rely on, what of it? Could it compare to the person his father had invited?

Taking a deep breath, Li Liangfeng declared, "Of course, we must listen to everyone’s opinion. Friends, those who are willing to follow my proposal, please signify it!"

Immediately after he said this, people from the crowd rushed to express their willingness to unite with Changtian Martial Arts Hall. To put it bluntly, these people knew very well that on their own, they were no match for the Hu Family. If they fought on their own, it would be suicidal. Under these circumstances, it made more sense to rely on Changtian Martial Arts Hall!

Seeing this reaction, Li Liangfeng couldn’t help but feel pleased. After this incident, Changtian Martial Arts Hall’s reputation in Liuan City would reach its peak!

At Dewei Martial Arts Hall, Fu Dewei’s brows furrowed. If it hadn’t been for the issue between his daughter and Li Siyuan, he would definitely have supported Changtian Martial Arts Hall with all his might.

However, after the argument with Siyuan, how could he have the cheek to seek Changtian Martial Arts Hall’s protection?

Seeing her father make no move, Foo Qinglan became anxious, "Dad, say something, we definitely want to cooperate with Changtian Martial Arts Hall!"

Fu Dewei gritted his teeth and remained silent, while his disciples also tried to persuade him that this was the best opportunity.

After Foo Qinglan spoke out a few times and saw that Fu Dewei had no intention of getting up, she could no longer hold back, and stood up to loudly say, "Dewei Martial Arts Hall agrees too!"

"Qinglan..." Fu Dewei tried to intercede, but it was too late, and he could only sigh. Well then, if pride must be sacrificed, so be it.

While the people from Changtian Martial Arts Hall were taking note, Li Siyuan spoke a few words to the elder beside him, and a trace of anger immediately crossed the elder’s face. He gave Foo Qinglan a cold look and said sternly, "Since when did Dewei Martial Arts Hall get a new female head?"

"We didn’t change, it’s still my dad who is the head!" Foo Qinglan replied, confused.

"If there’s no change, then let your head speak!" the elder said coldly, "A matter of such importance, and you let a girl speak out. Isn’t this showing too little respect for our Changtian Martial Arts Hall?"

Foo Qinglan was taken aback and looked towards Li Siyuan. But Siyuan had already turned his head away, not meeting her gaze.

Foo Qinglan, feeling helpless, could only say to Fu Dewei, "Dad, they insist on you speaking out, please say something!"

On the verge of bursting from anger, Fu Dewei knew that the people of Changtian Martial Arts Hall were deliberately making things difficult for him. If he personally stood up now, he would lose all his dignity.

But looking at the disciples who had followed him, Fu Dewei sighed, stood up, and said, "Dewei Martial Arts Hall agrees with Master Li’s proposal!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Li Siyuan sneered, "Master Foo, why the sudden change of heart?"
