"It is indeed boring …"
Qin Fang squinted at the competition below and replied with a faint smile on his face.
In fact, the other judges, including them, were not watching the competition below. Most of them were chatting with each other or resting with their eyes closed.
The contestants below had not even reached the Master Level. No matter how exciting the competition was, it was meaningless for these masters who were at the late stage or even at the peak of the Master Level.
Perhaps only Fu Junhao and Cui Mingjun, who were at the Master Level, were worth watching … Unfortunately, there were only two pairs of such contestants in the two families.
Now, Fu Junhao and Cui Mingjun were both killed by Qin Fang, so there was only one pair left … It was not hard to imagine how boring the following competition would be.
"I don't know if I should ask, but how did you get invited by the Fu Family?"
Master Mu smiled faintly and looked around. Then he approached Qin Fang in a low voice and asked curiously. Perhaps many people were wondering the same thing.
There was no doubt that Qin Fang was very powerful, but Qin Fang was obviously the least famous one among all the judges. It could be said that almost no one had heard of Qin Fang before this.
The same went for Master Mu and the others. Otherwise, Fang Zonglin would not have made things difficult for Qin Fang the first time he saw Qin Fang.
Master Mu was hired by the Cui Family, so he did not live in the same courtyard as Qin Fang. He only noticed Qin Fang when they were having dinner together in the front hall.
However, at that time, Ishihara Ichiro had already attacked Qin Fang. Before he could test Qin Fang's strength, he was interrupted by Director Fu, who happened to arrive. The judges were still confused about Qin Fang's strength.
Until just now, when Qin Fang easily killed Fu Junhao and Cui Mingjun, they really took Qin Fang's cultivation seriously. Although they still did not know how powerful Qin Fang was, he was at least at the late stage of the Master Level.
With such strength, he could be on an equal footing with them. Especially Qin Fang, who was a young master from Long Province, they did not dare to underestimate him.
After all, the sect behind Qin Fang, who could teach such a powerful master at such a young age, must be very powerful. It might not be one of the famous ancient sects, but most likely one of the big sects with profound heritage in Long Province.
Although there was no lack of sects behind these judges, they were still incomparable to those large sects that had been around for hundreds and thousands of years.
"I'm still confused about it myself …"
Qin Fang also shrugged his shoulders. Back then, when he received the Fu Clan's invitation, he was also confused. It was only because he was a little interested in this Sword-fighting Assembly that he agreed to come, since he had nothing to do anyway.
When Master Mu heard Qin Fang's answer, he looked at Qin Fang's expression. It seemed that he was not lying. Master Mu's expression was quite strange.
The old man finally understood. If Qin Fang was as strong as he said, the Cui Family would suffer a great loss … Of course, the Fu Family also had an idiot. Otherwise, the competition would have been over.
He was invited by the Cui Family, so naturally, he was more inclined to the Cui Family. But in such a situation, he was also quite helpless.
"Little friend Qin, are you free later? How about we have lunch together?"
However, he didn't take this matter to heart. After all, no one could change what had happened. Of course, he was too lazy to care about it. However, Elder Mu smiled and invited Qin Fang to join him.
On this mountain, perhaps the spectators who came to watch the ceremony were not very free. Generally, they would move under the arrangements of the Fu Family and the Cui Family.
However, the judges were naturally not included. Basically, except for some restricted areas, they could go wherever they wanted. No one would stop them.
For example, during this lunch break, these judges were free to move around. They were also relatively free in terms of food and drink. Generally, they would gather in groups of two or three to drink and chat.
Although Qin Fang was young, his cultivation was extremely powerful. For these old seniors who did not have many opportunities to rise, they were still very happy to have a good relationship with him.
After all, these people were not lone wolves. They all had a sect behind them. If they could build a good relationship with them, they might not be able to use it themselves, but the juniors in their sect might be able to use it.
"I'm sorry, Master Mu. I have already promised Master Fang …"
Qin Fang looked at the old man strangely. It seemed that he did not quite understand what he meant. However, he did not agree. Instead, he pulled Fang Zonglin out.
The Cloud Mountain Sect and the Tiannan Sect were not very harmonious. After all, they were two sects on a small island. It was also true that a mountain could not accommodate two tigers.
The island was only so big. These two sects were the stronger ones among the many sects on the island. However, because the island was too small, the competition was quite fierce.
Qin Fang vaguely knew that there was something fishy between the two sects. He did not want to rashly get involved. After all, his relationship with Fang Zonglin was quite good. Obviously, he was not that familiar with Master Mu.
"Then let's pick another time …"
After hearing Qin Fang's words, Master Mu's face stiffened slightly. When he said this, the smile on his face was a little awkward.
This made Qin Fang feel that this old man took the initiative to invite him. There was indeed another reason …
The two contestants in the arena were still in the midst of a fierce battle. Although they were not very strong, they were evenly matched. It was hard to tell who would win in a short time.
In fact, it was close to noon when the contestant from the Cui Clan made a mistake. He was caught by the contestant from the Fu Clan and was knocked out of the arena in one fell swoop. Only then did the first round of the competition end.
Although the Fu Clan won, the Cui Clan did not seem too dispirited. Not only were their contestants still in high spirits, but even Cui Zhemin and the others were still smiling. It was obvious that they still had something up their sleeves!
However, the results were out. Qin Fang and the other judges were quite relaxed. They did not even need to say a word. The first round was already over.
"Judges, please rest for a moment. We will continue in the afternoon …"
Director Fu was quite satisfied with the results of the first round of the competition. After dismissing the audience, he came over to receive the judges and left.
It was already noon. Qin Fang and the other judges were directly led by Director Fu to the dining hall to eat. Of course, the Fu Clan and the Cui Clan had also sent people over.
These judges were all people of status, and now that it was the Sword-fighting Assembly, if these two families did not even have a single guest, then it would be inexcusable.
"That old fellow Mu Renliang actually wants to steal my corner?"
Qin Fang was naturally together with Fang Zonglin. They were not sitting together in the judges' seats, but now that they were down, they did not have so many scruples. Qin Fang even muttered to Fang Zonglin about the invitation from the Cloud Mountain Sect's Elder Mu.
However, he did not expect that Fang Zonglin would immediately become a little angry. It was obvious that he was quite unhappy in his heart, but he was also very happy that Qin Fang was so direct with him.
"Who is that?"
However, Qin Fang did not reply. Instead, he pointed to a middle-aged man who walked in and asked.
"That?"
Fang Zonglin was startled, and also looked in the direction Qin Fang was pointing. "That person is called Cui Zhimin, he's from the Cui Clan …" Oh, he's a very powerful guy! "
Qin Fang lightly nodded his head. He had a heaven-defying detection skill, so he naturally knew that this Cui Zhimin was a very powerful fellow. However, this was not the main point he wanted to know.
"What is his status in the Cui Clan?"
Qin Fang casually asked again, as if he was extremely concerned about this person.
"He seems to be a disciple of the Cui Clan's side branch. Originally, his status shouldn't be very high, but his strength is extremely strong. Even Cui Zhimin has to give him some face. He can be considered an elder in the Cui Clan, the kind that has real power …"
Fang Zonglin was slightly startled, and his expression was a little strange. However, he still gave a simple explanation of the situation he knew.
Since they were here to be the judges of this Sword-fighting Meet, they were more familiar with the main figures of the Fu Clan and the Cui Clan. This Cui Zhimin's status in the Cui Clan was not ordinary, so it was impossible for Fang Zonglin not to know.
"I see … No wonder even Shi Yuan is so polite to him!"
Qin Fang smiled when he heard that. He put on an "I see" expression and chuckled as he mumbled to himself. This was because he happened to see Shi Yuan and Cui Zhimin talking and laughing together.
"People from the Demon Sect, they won't even let people from South Korea off …"
However, Qin Fang had another thought in his mind. Although this Cui Zhimin was powerful, it was not to the extent that Qin Fang was afraid of him.
The reason why Qin Fang focused so much on this was because this Cui Zhimin was actually from the Demon Sect …
Furthermore, this was the second person from the Demon Sect that Qin Fang had seen. He was much more powerful than that witch Jiang Rou from before …
Although South Korea was not considered a martial arts desert, it was not that far off. Basically, they did not have any decent experts. It was already considered good to have two or three Grandmasters.
However, with such strength and foundation, it was only equivalent to a slightly better sect …
It was also because South Korea's foundation was too weak that even the underground world looked down on South Korea. Therefore, Qin Fang was very surprised to see someone from the Demon Sect here, especially since this person had a relatively high status in the Cui Clan …
