"referee?"
Ning Feng frowned, instinctively sensing a troublesome feeling, and took a half step back in disgust.
not good!
I have a feeling someone is trying to harm me!
What's going on?
Looking at the invitation repeatedly, Ning Feng couldn't find any clues from the previous parts, so he could only keep thinking about other aspects.
"Referee? Why invite the [Swordholder] to be the referee?"
I'm just a rising star, why would they want me to be a referee?
Besides, we're not even that close, why would you invite me?
"I have a feeling that things are probably not as simple as they seem."
Ning Feng was not unfamiliar with the name Cairns Jaslin; he had only recently remembered it.
The previous Speaker of the Silver Council was known as the "True Great Noble," "Grand Duchess Jaslin," and "Blood of the Noble"...
In a sense, he was also a figure with a somewhat legendary air.
It wasn't that his strength had reached legendary level; on the contrary, he was the weakest of all the previous chairmen, only at the second tier.
According to some rumors, even this second-tier strength was forcibly increased by using resources.
Compared to the previous fourth-tier or even legendary Speakers, Keynes' strength is not even enough to carry their shoes.
But this person, who should have had little status in the world of Awakeners, became the leader of a first-class power like the Silver Council for nearly a hundred years.
He handled all the controversies that arose during Keynes’s tenure perfectly, and there was never a situation that got out of control.
Some say he was a puppet put on the throne, a clown who only speaks according to a script.
Perhaps there is some truth and evidence to these statements, but in the end, Keynes stepped down from the position of Speaker without incident.
Even now, Keynes still holds considerable sway over the family and remains the undisputed leader of the Jasmine family.
Ning Feng didn't believe that such a cunning and shrewd old fox would not make any considerations or preparations in this matter.
Since the other party's identity was such that he could not afford to relax even slightly, Ning Feng became even more cautious in his thinking.
If you can't figure out the other party's purpose, then you can only imagine how to deal with it.
The clues are scarce now. If Ning Feng could really guess what the other party was thinking, then he would be a god and could become a prophet.
With the enemy in the shadows and us in the open, all Ning Feng can do now is ensure that he doesn't fall into their trap.
There are really only two choices.
Go, or not go.
If he were to go, Ning Feng would need to consider what he truly had the confidence to back up his claim.
What was it that Keynes valued?
Is it strength?
It shouldn't be. The other party isn't the kind of small family that can't be contacted and needs to borrow someone else's name for support.
What's needed then might be something else entirely—another identity for the swordsman.
The legendary adjudicator of the court.
For a minor position like "referee," this title is not just a waste of talent, but a powerful weapon for slaying dragons.
However, it must be said that this title does indeed guarantee the fairness of the competition to the greatest extent.
"...But there are still some strange things."
A sense of incongruity.
Ning Feng sat on the stool, his slender fingers tapping lightly on the table, constantly sorting out the incongruous parts.
"Given the personal relationship between the Jaslin family and Keynes, I don't believe we can't get other legendary adjudicators!"
right!
With so many legendary judges, why choose a swordsman you don't know and have never interacted with?
What are the hidden reasons behind this?
"Could it be interpersonal relationships... no, who knows?"
He had a vague idea in his mind, but Ning Feng had too few clues and information to make any deductions.
We can only make a few conjectures without data or theoretical support.
Setting aside this point of doubt for the time being, Ning Feng continued to think further:
"If I were to attend the event, I would absolutely need to appear in reality as the swordsman..."
He could unleash legendary power with just a few moves; Ning Feng could achieve that through various means.
But what if we allow him to maintain his legendary status for an extended period?
That's not enough.
Even if you squeeze every last drop of Shirin's fluid... her magic power wouldn't be enough to handle all situations, and her body couldn't take it either.
Xilin is Ning Feng's lover, not a human-shaped magic power bank.
You can't keep squeezing people dry; no one can stand it if it happens too frequently.
Besides, simply charging isn't enough; you also need to plug them in to charge them for sustainable development.
This step will require a little more time to prepare.
If this "Star Chaser" were in a dream world, it would be fine; Ning Feng could conceal it in many ways.
But life isn't a novel; things don't always go his way, and the chances of that are too small.
If the swordsman were to actually appear before those legends in real life, there would be a more than 90% chance that his true identity would be revealed.
At that point, it would almost certainly be a death sentence.
He had just provoked someone online, and before he could even enjoy his moment of triumph, he was exposed and defeated.
Dame.
If that's the case, then Ning Feng's carefully prepared disguise will be completely wasted.
It ended before it even began, just like the love of a simp.
After much deliberation, Ning Feng still didn't think accepting the invitation was a good choice; it would only bring harm and no benefit.
It's a really bad choice.
Conversely, refusing to ignore it seems quite tempting.
