18: Disappointed Liu Yanxin

After showing off, Qin Feng slowly walked up to the referee and respectfully bowed, saying, "Qin Feng greets the referee."

"Qin Feng, you are late. The competition has already begun," the referee said with a frown.

"Junior knows his mistake, but I still hope the referee will allow me to participate in the competition," Qin Feng earnestly requested.

"This..." For a moment, even the referee didn't know how to handle it. According to the rules, those who are late are considered to have forfeited, but Qin Feng had the Xuan Yang Sect behind him. How could they afford to offend them?

He couldn't help but look up at the tall building.

"My good son has come from thousands of miles away; being a little late is nothing. Anyway, you've just finished drawing lots, so let my son have a bye!"

Chen Xuan, from the tall building, nodded, directly granting Qin Feng eligibility to participate and even giving him a bye.

Lin Shuiyao, sitting beside him and observing, looked at Chen Xuan, her eyes sparkling. This was the husband she had chosen. Even after Qin Feng, that little beast, had done such a thing, he still repaid evil with good!

Lin Shuiyao wished she could reward Chen Xuan on the spot!

However, the contestants below looked at Qin Feng with extreme displeasure. Anyone who saw someone using connections so openly would find it utterly disgusting!

It was then that Qin Feng noticed Chen Xuan and the others sitting in the tall building.

"Chen Xuan!" A hint of hatred flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly hidden.

Then he saw Lin Shuiyao holding Chen Ping'an, and his heart trembled.

"Ding! Son of Luck Qin Feng's mindset has been damaged. Rewarding 1000 Heaven's Mandate Value!"

"Oh? There's such a surprise?"

Then Chen Xuan looked at Qin Feng, shifted his body, and directly revealed Liu Yanxin behind him as well.

"Ding! Son of Luck's mindset has been damaged, with excessive emotional fluctuation. Rewarding 2000 Heaven's Mandate Value!"

Qin Feng was stunned.

Today, Liu Yanxin was wearing a blue dress, her skin as fair as snow, her features as beautiful as a painting, like a Fairy from a painting.

But why was she standing behind Chen Xuan? What did this mean? Could it be that even his fiancée had left him?

"Yanxin, what are you doing? Why are you behind him!" Qin Feng shouted excitedly.

"My strength is low, so I didn't participate in this Family Grand Competition. So I'm just here to watch," Liu Yanxin replied with a normal expression. She didn't feel there was anything wrong with her behavior.

"No! Did Chen Xuan coerce you? Don't be afraid, with me here, he wouldn't dare do anything to you," Qin Feng said with certainty.

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Liu Yanxin was somewhat confused. She was just simply watching the match, and she hadn't expected her fiancé to think this way.

"I say, son, did you misunderstand something? I didn't coerce Yanxin; she's with me voluntarily," Chen Xuan said vaguely, to see if Qin Feng would misunderstand.

Qin Feng's Face indeed changed after hearing this. Although he didn't believe what Chen Xuan said, he couldn't refute such a result.

"Then how did you make her willingly follow you?" Qin Feng asked through gritted teeth.

Chen Xuan glanced at Liu Yanxin, who immediately understood and explained:

"Qin Feng, don't misunderstand." Liu Yanxin stepped forward, "Actually, I actively sought out Senior Brother Chen Xuan. He helped me a lot, and of course, I'm grateful to him, so after I gave up participating, Senior Brother Chen Xuan invited me to watch the competition."

"This..." Qin Feng was speechless.

Liu Yanxin had made it very clear, but looking at the smile on Chen Xuan's Face, he always felt there was something fishy between them!

Qin Feng's eyes were filled with unwillingness. He wanted to ask more, but at this moment, he couldn't accuse Liu Yanxin, otherwise, it would make him seem petty and affect his reputation.

"Qin Feng, you should know that some things cannot be forced," Chen Xuan said lightly, looking at Qin Feng.

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng's Face turned green then pale, but he still feigned composure, "Hmph, Chen Xuan, don't be so smug. Yanxin is my fiancée; she will be mine sooner or later. Everything you do is in vain!"

"Qin Feng, what nonsense are you talking about!" At this moment, Liu Yanxin was displeased.

"Senior Brother Chen Xuan and I are innocent. How did it become so unbearable in your mouth? Qin Feng, I really didn't expect you to be such a petty person. I'm truly too disappointed!"

After saying that, Liu Yanxin turned and walked away, no longer looking at him.

"Yanxin, I didn't mean that, I meant Chen Xuan..."

Unfortunately, Liu Yanxin was utterly disappointed and disdained Qin Feng's explanation. Even Lin Shuiyao frowned tightly; this Qin Feng made her feel too unfamiliar.

"Oh, it's all my fault today, Senior Brother, for making you lose Face in front of so many people..." Liu Yanxin apologized to Chen Xuan, feeling very guilty, from the tall building.

"Junior Sister Yanxin, you don't need to be angry. The clear will clear themselves. If it's not there, it's not there. Let him say what he wants!" Chen Xuan patted Liu Yanxin's hand to comfort her.

The latter's small Face flushed slightly, and she quickly pulled back her small hand, secretly glancing at Lin Shuiyao. Seeing that she wasn't paying attention, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, alright, since Young Friend Qin has arrived, let the competition begin. It wouldn't be good to delay the progress of the competition," General Zhao quickly came out to smooth things over and put the matter to rest.

...

In the following days of the competition, Qin Feng, as the protagonist, performed very well, defeating several opponents consecutively.

However, because his mind was always preoccupied with Liu Yanxin's matter, he was not in the mood to fight, which resulted in him suffering some minor injuries in a match that should have been easily won!

One must know that the timing of this Grand Competition was very tight. Once injured, it was very difficult to recover to full strength. A small mistake could lead to directly losing the subsequent matches!

And as the protagonist in traditional novels, Qin Feng was definitely going to fight above his level.

In the original text, with his Peak Foundation Establishment strength, he smoothly fought his way to the finals, only for his opponent to have a Breakthrough on the spot, reaching the Golden Core Stage!

Then the most incredible (and what readers love to see) thing happened: Qin Feng, with his Foundation Establishment cultivation, fought across levels and defeated his Golden Core cultivation opponent, despite suffering severe injuries!

At the same time, this also made everyone in Flame Feather City gasp in cold air, and Flame Feather City became even warmer as a result.

But now, not only had his cultivation not reached the Peak Foundation Establishment, but he had also suffered minor injuries. It was unknown if this would change the fixed plot.

Soon, Qin Feng still blazed a trail, fighting his way to the finals, and indeed, in the finals, he defeated a Golden Core Stage opponent! However, the price he paid this time was even greater than in the original text.

On the scene, as Chen Xuan watched Qin Feng, who had won, and was about to activate his backup plan, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

"I refuse to accept it!"

"You, someone who was late and used backdoors, how can you rightfully win the competition!" shouted the Golden Core Stage Wang Family contestant.

"Exactly! Rules are rules. My younger brother was also late. Why didn't they give my younger brother a chance?"

Immediately, because of Chen Xuan's words, all those who were dissatisfied with Qin Feng stood up one by one.
