… ….
Qin Fang, the youngest judge, attracted the attention of many people. Almost everyone felt that the Fu Family's table manners this time were too unsightly.
However, as the parties involved, the Fu Family and Qin Fang, were extremely calm, as if they were not affected in the slightest. They continued with the process of the Sword-fighting Assembly as usual.
"I refuse to accept this …"
However, Qin Fang sat on the judging panel and seemed to be very indifferent. Naturally, he had to provoke the dissatisfaction of some people, and this made it easy for some discordant things to happen.
Those spectators were only here to watch the ceremony. Although they were making quite a ruckus, they did not have the right to speak. If they dared to speak any nonsense, the Fu Family would not hesitate to chase them out.
No one wanted to waste such a precious opportunity, so although these spectators felt that the Fu Family's table manners were too unsightly, they would at most complain, but they would not show too much emotion.
But …
These spectators did not have the right to speak, but that did not mean that the contestants did not have the right to speak.
Just as the Sword-fighting Assembly was about to begin, a contestant immediately let out such a dissatisfied voice, and the source of the voice was … The Cui Family.
Almost at the same time that they heard this voice, everyone's attention was focused on this position. Not only the spectators, but also the Fu Family, the Cui Family, and the people on the judging panel.
"Damn, what is that idiot Cui Mingjun doing …"
However, most of the people were waiting for the contestant from the Cui Family to speak, while Cui Zhemin directly started cursing, his face filled with anger.
If it wasn't for the fact that they were already in the middle of the competition, he really wanted to rush up and slap this dissatisfied Cui Family Disciple flying …
"Zhemin, don't be agitated. Let's take a look first!"
Cui Zhehan, who was at the side, also vaguely felt that something was wrong. He felt that this Cui Mingjun might be going to do something bad to their Cui Family.
"Contestant Cui Mingjun, what are you unwilling to accept?"
Director Fu, who was the host, stood there and reached out his hand to calm the commotion. Only then did he ask indifferently, but from his calm face, one could vaguely see a hint of disdain and ridicule.
"Steward Fu, the Sword-fighting Assembly is a grand event that has lasted for a hundred years for our Fu and Cui Families. Every time, we invite all the famous martial artists to serve as judges …"
Cui Mingjun obviously didn't know how stupid he was. He said confidently. Everyone knew what he was going to say when he opened his mouth.
Or rather, what he wanted to say was what everyone wanted to say.
"I, Cui Mingjun, have nothing to say about these seven esteemed seniors acting as judges. But why … can he also act as a judge?"
Cui Mingjun pointed at Qin Fang, who was sitting at the end of the judging panel, and shouted in a displeased manner. His words were not polite at all, and he almost directly said that the Fu Family's table manners were too ugly.
Of course, if this was in the past, his actions of slapping the Fu family's face would definitely be unanimously approved by the Cui family.
Unfortunately … he seemed to have chosen the wrong time and the wrong target!
"Mister Qin is a judge invited by our Fu family, so he naturally has the qualifications to sit here. If you feel that Mister Qin does not have the qualifications to sit here, then … You can ask him to come down!
"Steward Fu's expression was indifferent, he was not angry at all because of Cui Mingjun's actions. He even specifically stated that Qin Fang was invited by the Fu family as a judge.
The moment these words were spoken, everyone's faces froze. The Fu Clan's side was calm, but the Cui Clan's side was obviously stirred up.
Challenge the judges?
Hearing these words, everyone present was immediately shocked. They were all shocked by Steward Fu's words.
Of course, there was no problem with Steward Fu's words. In the previous Sword-fighting Assembly, it was not as if such a thing had never happened before. Especially when an extremely talented expert appeared in a certain family, it was even more common.
Every Sword-fighting Assembly had a total of eight judges, and each family invited four. Generally speaking, these four were slightly biased towards the family that invited them.
However, if it was four against four and both sides had the same number of people, it would usually be a very fair match to determine the victor. Only when one side was in an extremely bad position would they be able to show their advantage in numbers.
However, if a contestant challenged the judge and pulled him down, then this balance would be broken in an instant.
When it was obvious that it was four against three, even a fool would know which side had the advantage. If they didn't make use of it, then they would be too stupid.
This could also be considered a form of cheating …
However, this kind of cheating method was indeed not bad, but it might not succeed every time. For example, some judges might not seem strong, but if they were to really make a move, then it would be extremely terrifying.
For a contestant to provoke a judge, this was originally a matter of slapping the judge in the face. These judges would most likely not be polite. Although they would not directly slap the contestant to death, it was inevitable that they would be injured.
Next, the contestants would have to compete officially. A contestant in peak condition without any injuries, compared to a contestant who was heavily injured, the final result was actually quite clear.
Choi Mingjun saw this point. He saw that Qin Fang was a huge opportunity brought by the Fu Family's unsightly table manners, and immediately jumped out to make a fuss.
"This bunch of idiots!"
Choi Zhemin's face turned green. If it were not for the fact that they were already in the process and elders were not allowed to interfere, he would have gone up to kick Choi Mingjun away.
He knew best what the Fu Family was planning. They purposely got Qin Fang to be the judge to trick the Choi Family.
Although the Choi Family already knew about Qin Fang's existence, other than Choi Zhemin himself, everyone else only knew about him. They did not know what Qin Fang looked like or how old he was.
Not to mention, the Choi Family's status in South Korea was very high. Other than the Fu Family, they did not care about anyone else at all. In addition, Koreans were born with strong self-confidence, and they even imagined that they were the world's top masters.
"Contestant Choi Mingjun, are you sure you want to challenge Mr. Qin?"
Director Fu's face was very calm as if he was completely neutral. He only looked at the agitated Choi Mingjun below and said calmly.
"That's right … I want to challenge him!"
Choi Mingjun vaguely felt that something was wrong, and that was, the Fu Family's reaction seemed to be a little too calm.
However, now that he was in front of hundreds of people, he could not choose to back down. That would only make him lose all his face.
"This idiot!
I really want to slap him to death … "
Hearing that this idiot Choi Zhemin actually fell into his trap, Choi Zhemin, the leader of the team, also had a very ugly expression. He sat down weakly. He knew that this was bad, but other than roaring angrily, there was nothing he could do.
"Mr. Qin, this contestant doubts your qualifications as a judge …"
After receiving Choi Mingjun's affirmative answer, a strange look flashed across Director Fu's eyes. Then, he politely expressed his opinion to Qin Fang, who was at the judge's table.
"What a confident stick …"
Looking at the unruly Choi Mingjun, Qin Fang also had a helpless look on his face. He really did not expect that there would be such an idiot who would fall for it.
Actually, when Fang Zonglin was chatting with Qin Fang last night, he had already introduced some of the rules of the Sword-fighting Assembly to him in detail, including the rules of the challenge in front of him.
At that time, Fang Zonglin had said that the Fu Family had specially invited Qin Fang to be the judge because they had such intentions, and wanted to trap the Cui Family.
Although Qin Fang also knew this and felt a little uncomfortable to be used like this, he didn't have a good relationship with the Cui Family. He even almost fought with Cui Zhemin. Now that he came to trick the Cui Family, he didn't care.
Originally, Qin Fang had thought that the Cui Family would not fall for this trick. After all, Qin Fang and the Cui Family's Cui Zhemin had already met, and that fellow did not even dare to make a move against Qin Fang.
However, he did not expect that the Cui Family would dare to so brazenly bring up the idea of courting death. Qin Fang was also rather helpless.
"Since this contestant is not convinced, then I'll exchange a few moves with you …"
Although it was not difficult to exchange blows with a young expert who had just stepped into the Master Stage, since he was a judge, he had to abide by the rules. Qin Fang immediately stood up from the judges' seats and prepared to go to the stage.
"Wait …"
However, just as Qin Fang walked down from the judges' seats, someone spoke up again.
"Junhao …"
Manager Fu was slightly taken aback as he looked at Fu Junhao, who had walked out from the Fu Family's side, with a rather puzzled expression on his face.
"Mr Qin is a judge invited by the Fu Family. Although there may be a slight gap between him and the other seven judges, I believe that his cultivation must be quite impressive."
"Although Brother Mingjun's cultivation is not bad, I believe that there is still a slight gap between him and Mr Qin … so, for the sake of fairness, I think that Brother Mingjun and I should join forces to challenge Mr Qin!"
Manager Fu was very surprised, and the Fu Family members were also very confused, but Fu Junhao suddenly said something like this.
"Uh …"
Almost everyone present was stunned by Fu Junhao's words, and they did not quite understand what this fellow was up to. However, one thing was very obvious, and that was that the Fu Family members' expressions instantly became abnormally ugly …
"Hahaha … the heavens are really helping the Cui Family!"
Hearing Fu Junhao's words, Cui Zhemin was slightly taken aback at first, but then he laughed heartily, and even tears directly gushed out of his eyes.
Originally, he thought that the Cui Family was going to be screwed over this time, and that Cui Mingjun was obviously going to give himself up, and it would be very difficult for them to obtain the final victory. However, he did not expect that the Fu Family would also produce a fool.
