The visitor was none other than Chen Yuancang, the master of Yunchuan Valley.
All I saw was...
Chen Yuancang was wearing a blue long gown. Although he looked to be over sixty years old, he walked with a light step and a brisk pace, and was full of energy. He did not look like a man in his sixties at all.
Chen Yuancang has always been the most mysterious figure in the Yunxi martial arts world, without exception.
Because Chen Yuancang only ever appeared at the association's president election meeting, and he alone witnessed the change of five presidents.
Every president of the association has shown Chen Yuancang the utmost respect. Normally, Chen Yuancang never leaves Yunchuan Valley, preferring to study martial arts within its walls.
No one in Yunxi could fathom Chen Yuancang's current realm, nor did anyone dare to, because Chen Yuancang was the only person in Yunxi for decades qualified to guard the Yunchuan Valley Secret Realm. Moreover, it was rumored that Chen Yuancang was the only person in the Yunchuan Secret Realm to have passed all the trials of the secret realm.
"It's not too late, it's not too late."
"It seems that it's never too late for the Valley Master to come."
Ma Defa smiled obsequiously and flattered Chen Yuancang.
"Huh? It seems there are still two candidates who haven't arrived?" Chen Yuancang said, looking at the two empty seats.
"Now that the Valley Master has arrived, and they haven't, isn't that a voluntary withdrawal?"
"There's no need to wait any longer."
"In Yunxi, who else has such airs that they dare to keep Valley Master Chen waiting?"
Li Xiaoguang also joined in the auction discussion.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuancang smiled kindly and said...
"You can't say that. Maybe they, like me, were delayed by something on the way."
"This election for president will have a significant impact on all sectors of Yunxi."
"Moreover, I have heard that the four major families of Yunxi Martial Arts have fallen into decline, and Yunxi Martial Arts is leaderless. Under such circumstances, if the elected president of the association cannot take charge of the overall situation of Yunxi Martial Arts, I am afraid that the development of Yunxi Martial Arts will be even more difficult."
Upon hearing Chen Yuancang's words, the three candidates present showed a hint of embarrassment, but they quickly concealed it and continued to act as if they were trying to please Chen Yuancang.
They understood the underlying meaning in Chen Yuancang's words.
The other two remained silent, but spoke with cold arrogance and disdain.
"As Valley Master Chen said, the four great families of Yunxi have fallen into decline. Now, besides our three families, who else is qualified to compete for the position of president?"
“There’s someone else, and this person’s name was only added yesterday.”
Just as everyone was talking, Niu Dachun and Zhao Tianba, who arrived late, entered the hall.
"Yes, that person is here."
Upon hearing this,
Ma Defa and his group all looked towards the entrance of the hall, as did the others present, who saw Niu Dachun and Zhao Tianba walking towards them.
Upon seeing Niu Dachun, all the martial artists in the hall showed expressions of surprise. No one expected that Niu Dachun would actually come to elect the president of the Martial Arts Association.
"I'm so sorry, something came up on the way and I was delayed."
"The election hasn't even started yet."
Zhao Tianba apologized to everyone with a big smile on his face.
Niu Dachun, who was not good at this kind of thing, naturally remained silent; he was just going through the motions today.
Upon seeing Niu Dachun, Ma Defa and the other two couldn't help but show a surprised expression, and a sense of worry arose in their hearts.
They had heard of Niu Dachun's deeds and knew of his strength. If it came down to a contest of strength, they would naturally be no match for Niu Dachun.
However, today's election is not about strength, but about connections and personal relationships.
Ma Defa looked at Niu Dachun coldly, his face full of disdain.
"These young people nowadays are truly a doomed generation; they don't understand anything."
"If someone like that becomes the president of the Yunxi Martial Arts Association, wouldn't the Yunxi Martial Arts Association be doomed?"
Ma Defa's words were very clear; he was attacking Niu Dachun indirectly, using veiled criticism against Niu Dachun.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoguang immediately joined in with some subtle cursing.
"Master Ma is right. Young people these days think they can turn the world upside down just because they have a little skill, but what are they like?"
"If a young person can't even show the most basic respect for their elders, what kind of future can they have?"
As Li Xiaoguang spoke, he would occasionally glance at Niu Dachun, his eyes filled with nothing but sarcasm.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianba's face was full of embarrassment. They were cursing his master, which meant they were cursing him. His expression was extremely unpleasant.
However, Zhao Tianba knew this was the venue for the martial arts association president election, and he couldn't afford to fall out with these people. So, Zhao Tianba tried his best to put on a smiling face, helping Niu Dachun out of the predicament and saying all the right things.
However, Ma Defa and his group had no intention of letting Niu Dachun off the hook. They seized on this weakness of Niu Dachun and launched a vicious attack, using both subtle and overt tactics.
He displayed an air of superiority, like a senior figure with extensive experience, in front of Niu Dachun.
"Young people these days should be sent to the grassroots level to train properly. Can they even handle the position of president of the martial arts association?"
"Young people these days don't endure enough hardship. They need to endure more hardship. Only by enduring the bitterest of hardships can one rise above others."
......
Zhao Tianba bent over, standing in front of Niu Dachun, listening to these words for Niu Dachun, with a broad smile on his face.
"Zhao Tianba, have you forgotten what I told you?"
"I don't like spineless people."
Upon hearing Niu Dachun's words, Zhao Tianba's face showed a look of horror.
