Chapter 386: Feng Qingyou



Lin Xun indifferently called Chu Haidong a stupid idiot, but then his next sentence was simply a stroke of genius. He made him have a taste of his own medicine. It was direct, fierce and beautiful.

Everyone couldn’t help but assume strange looks. Lin Xun is going all out!

Chu Haidong’s face turned livid, and he was so furious that he almost crushed his own teeth. “Do you want to be enemies with the Chu Family?”

“That depends on your attitude,” answered Lin Xun with a smile.

“Okay, very good! Let’s see if you can pass the rune grandmaster verification assessment today!”

Chu Haidong drew a deep breath and forcibly managed to curb his anger before uttering in the most ice-cold voice, “When the result comes out, it will prove who is the most ignorant one and who is the…stupid idiot!”

The last two words seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth.

He not only sounded overbearing, but also contemptuous. He wanted to use an upright way to prove Lin Xun’s arrogance.

He was very confident that Lin Xun, a teenager, couldn’t pass the rune grandmaster verification assessment.

After all, the tests in the Nine Tablets of the Dragon Gate were too difficult. In the past hundreds of years, only Feng Qingyou had passed all tests of the Nine Tablets of the Dragon Gate at the young age of seventeen.

Other than Feng Qingyou, no one else had ever passed the assessment in their teens!

Based on those statistics, Chu Haidong didn’t believe that Lin Xun could create another unprecedented record and miracle as Feng Qingyou had done.

Therefore, he was confident that Lin Xun would suffer great humiliation and consequences when the result came out!

Not only did Chu Haidong look down on Lin Xun, but also none of the other rune masters present believed Lin Xun could pass.

However, Lin Xun’s expression didn’t ripple in the slightest. He simply smiled and said, “Don’t worry, it definitely won’t be me.”

“Stop!”

Chu Haidong didn’t say anything more. He also knew that if he continued to quarrel with Lin Xun, he would only suffer from the youth’s vicious tongue again and it wouldn’t be worth it.

Only facts could suppress Lin Xun’s arrogance!

The rune masters from the Chu Family all wore dark and unpleasant expressions. They couldn’t wait to see Lin Xun be taught a lesson.

Especially Chu Yunkong. After Lin Xun had given him a tongue lashing, he almost went berserk and secretly planned to get revenge. How should I humiliate this kid after he fails the verification?

The little disturbance soon ended, and the atmosphere in the hall turned solemn.

Everyone knew that the dispute between Lin Xun and Chu Haidong would re-erupt after the verification assessment!

Meanwhile, in another elegant and magnificent hall at the Rune Master Association headquarters.

A light screen emerged in the center of the hall, presenting what was happening in the grandmaster-level assessment hall.

Six to seven elderly folks in different styles of clothing were sitting opposite the light screen.

The elderly people included Yu Beidou, the chief rune grandmaster at the headquarters of the Rune Master Association, Cheng Jing, an advanced rune grandmaster at the Rune Department of Qinglu Academy, and Shen Tuo, the head lecturer of Qinglu Academy’s Rune Department.

Each one was an authority figure in the empire and well-respected by countless rune masters.

Most importantly, there was an extraordinarily pure and beautiful maiden with long, jet-black hair standing leisurely behind Shen Tuo.

Her clear eyes looked distracted.

If students of Qinglu Academy were around, they would immediately identify that she was Feng Qingyou, the genius maiden in the art of runes!

She was from the Feng Family, one of the three major rune master families in the empire. Her father was the head of the Feng Family, and she was a formal student of the Rune Department.

She had an extremely noble identity and status.

“Lin Xun’s tongue is so vicious. Although Chu Yunkong’s words were biased, he is still Lin Xun’s elder. If Lin Xun had tolerated him a little, this little storm wouldn’t have happened.”

Yu Beidou couldn’t help but shake his head as he watched the light screen.

“Haha, it’s understandable. If Lin Xun isn’t brave, then how would he dare to violently beat up the descendants of the Song Clan and accept the duel against Hua Wuyou?” Cheng Jing chuckled.

The other big shots were speechless. Indeed, Lin Xun is a sharp thorn. No one in the Forbidden City dares to anger two high clans like he did.

However, he is still alive and jumping around. It’s too unbelievable.

“That guy is a little rascal,” Feng Qingyou remarked playfully. She had also witnessed the quarrel, and she almost burst out laughing when Lin Xun called Chu Haidong a stupid idiot. Lin Xun might be the master of Mind Cleansing Peak, but he had such a vicious tongue.

“Speaking of which, where did Lin Xun get the confidence and the courage to take the verification assessment to become a rune grandmaster?” someone asked in puzzlement.

The other big shots nodded. Yes, the kid is only in his teens. He might be a genius in cultivation, but how would a kid like him understand the profoundness of the art of the runes?

“I received a report from my subordinate that Lin Xun had passed the initiate rune master verification when he was in Haze City. Come to think of it, he must have some talent in the art of runes,” remarked Yu Beidou.

“An initiate rune master?” many influential figures exclaimed in shock. It turns out that Lin Xun has some accomplishments in the art of runes.

“Even so, it’s still too absurd. He’s just an initiate rune master and not an intermediate or advanced one, but he suddenly wants to become a rune grandmaster? He is too arrogant and ignorant!” Someone shook his head.

Indeed, it’s impossible to jump ranks like that!

Especially in the art of runes. No one can ascend into the sky in one step!

“The kid might just be here to join in the fun. He just wants to test the waters. I bet he also has never thought of passing the tests of the Nine Tablets of the Dragon Gate,” remarked Shen Tuo.

Many people echoed his thoughts. This was the most reasonable analysis.

“Join in the fun? It looks like he’s more here to create trouble. He doesn’t look like an honest guy at all.”

Feng Qingyou pursed her lips and giggled. Her voice was soft, sweet and full of the naive charm of a young maiden.

“Let’s just wait and see what the result of the assessment is.”

Yu Beidou summoned an attendant with a wave of his hand. He then instructed, “Go, tell Linghu Xiu that he can start the assessment now.”

The attendant hurriedly took the order and left.

……

In the grandmaster-level assessment hall.

A graceful middle-aged man with a beard that framed his face walked up the dragon gate stage in a gorgeous luxurious robe.

He was called Linghu Xiu, and was a rune grandmaster working at the Rune Master Association headquarters!

His appearance made the atmosphere turn solemn and silent as all gazes shifted onto him.

“Sorry to keep you all waiting. The assessment will begin now. There are a total of five people who have signed up for the verification assessment. They are Chu Haidong, Hu Linchuan, Lou Kun, Yue Peng...and Lin Xun.” Linghu Xiu’s voice reverberated throughout the hall.

When he read out Lin Xun’s name, Lin Xun sharply noticed Linghu Xiu sweep a glance over him before quickly retracting it.

Does this guy know me?

However, when Lin Xun observed him, he found nothing unusual, so he didn’t think much of it.

He was at the headquarters of the Rune Master Association. Even if the Hua Clan sent people after him, they wouldn’t be able to touch him because it was an important place of the empire and was under the protection of the imperial family!

“I believe you all know about the rules so I won’t waste your time explaining. Let’s just start the assessment. There is no specific order for the five candidates to take the verification assessment. Whoever is confident can first ascend the Dragon Gate Stage and receive the tests from the Nine Tablets of the Dragon Gate.”

After Linghu Xiu finished speaking, he moved to one side and waited quietly.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll take the offer.”

A gray-haired old man stood up, and with a flash, leapt onto the platform. He drew a deep breath and sat down facing the nine ancient stone tablets.

Hu Linchuan!

Ruminative expressions crept into many rune masters’ eyes when they saw Hu Linchuan. He was a well-known advanced rune master in the Forbidden City.

His fame wasn’t attributed to his deep mastery in the art of the runes. Instead, he was well-known because he had taken the rune grandmaster assessment dozens of times and had failed every single time.

However, he still hadn’t given up. Although he was much older than other candidates, he was very persistent, so many rune masters knew about him.

“This is already the 38th time right?”

“Yes, sounds about right. But I don’t know if Hu Linchuan will be lucky this time and pass the assessment.”

“It’s hard to say. He has limited potential. He can’t possibly become a rune grandmaster.”

“That guy...is quite pitiful.”

Lin Xun quietly listened to the whispers around him, and he realized that the gray-haired old man who leapt onto the stage first had taken the verification assessment multiple times already.

A tinge of admiration rose in his heart as he looked at the slender figure sitting cross-legged on the stage.

The path of the Dao is difficult, but he hasn’t given up. This is already worthy of respect!

Buzz—

Suddenly, a wave of cryptic undulation swept the crowd and shrouded the hundred-foot stage.

Immediately, the nine mottled stone tablets, which seemed to have been standing since the start of time, released an illusory and dreamy brilliance.

Hu Linchuan’s body was also shrouded in brilliance.

Within seconds, the surrounding people could no longer see Hu Linchuan’s figure. They could only see clouds of light forming, and the nine ancient stone tablets seemingly awakening from a deep slumber.

The assessment was starting!

Lin Xun’s eyes narrowed. He cast all distracting thoughts away from his mind and stared intently at the Dragon Gate Stage. Everything before him seemed indescribably mysterious and piqued his curiosity.
