One person: After starting with the academic atmosphere, I'll take down Xia He!

The group walked slowly, and along the way, Feng Baobao and Chen Duo bought a lot of food and trinkets.

Fortunately, their sacs were large enough to hold it all.

Malone was very pleased. He had just gained another great general and was now surrounded by people, looking very imposing.

At the very least, it provides the greatest sense of security.

Holding the food that Feng Baobao handed him, he ate it haphazardly when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Brother Long? It really is Brother Long!"

Hello, Sister Bao'er, Sister Duo'er, uh~ Sister Xiahe!

"Master Lingyu is here too! Good morning, Sister Yan Yan!"

Ma Long looked down and saw a short young man walking quickly away; it was Feng Xingtong from the World Society.

"Oh, Feng Xingtong."

What a coincidence to meet you here! Are you on your way to Zhuge Village in Jinhua?

In response to Ma Long's question, Feng Xingtong nodded: "Yes, we are going to Jinhua."

I took a detour to visit West Lake first, but wow, I didn't expect so many people, it's almost unbearably crowded.

"You guys? President Feng is here too?"

Ma Long keenly sensed that Feng Xingtong nodded and replied, "Yes, Dad is just ahead."

My older sister and Liang Ge are also there; they're the ones who went to the event.

"Oh, I see. They are all the best of this generation, so they definitely have to go and join in the fun."

"But you, Feng Xingtong, aren't you participating?"

Feng Xingtong shook his head: "With my mediocre skills, I'm simply not up to the task of going on stage."

He's usually lazy and hasn't collected much spirit energy, so if he really goes on stage...

Wouldn't that tarnish the reputation of the art of capturing spirits and commanding generals?

Seeing that Feng Xingtong was still so enthusiastic, Ma Long chatted with him for a few more minutes.

Feng Xingtong scratched his head and slowly reminded him, "Brother Long, you'd better be careful at this conference."

Ma Long was taken aback and looked at the short boy in front of him: "Xing Tong, what do you mean by this? Explain in detail."

Feng Xingtong sighed and whispered to Ma Long, "Hey, Brother Long."

You should know that the bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against it!

You are the top-ranked hero on the leaderboard, and this time the Wind and Cloud Tournament will allow free challenges.

Are you sure you can have some peace and quiet?

I don't know about others, but Zhuge Qing, my older sister and Liang Ge are both itching to fight you again!

After listening, Ma Long nodded and patted Feng Xingtong on the shoulder: "Yes, I understand."

Since things have come to this, let them do as they please.

I understand without you reminding me; I'll go easy on them, but I just hope they don't go too far.

Feng Xingtong laughed heartily: "Hehe, Brother Long is so magnanimous."

But don't be upset, because you're definitely not the one who's suffering the most!

Ma Long was puzzled, but also intrigued: "Oh, so I'm not the one everyone's paying attention to?"

"Uh... it's you, but not entirely."

There are people who want to challenge you, but apart from a few formidable rivals, there aren't many.

And if you play well this time, you'll probably secure the title of number one in this generation.

"Brother Long, I believe in you, and Dad thinks highly of you too."

Malone smiled, seemingly lost in thought: "I hope so."

Let's tell you who's causing the most trouble!

Feng Xingtong immediately became interested and said with a beaming smile, "Of course it's that beast Wang Bing from the Wang family!"

You know that the tournament has an initial ranking based on the number of votes a contestant receives, right?

Now, that beast Wang Bing has almost 10,000 votes in support.

The other contestants only numbered in the hundreds.

It's worth noting that there are only about 20,000 to 30,000 people with special abilities in

This means that Wang Bing is initially ranked first, and anyone ranked lower than him can challenge him.

Do you think he's panicking?

Hehe, he doesn't have the ability, but he's in a position he shouldn't be in. Everyone's waiting to see the show!

By the way, Brother Long, you must be the first to challenge Wang Bing. Once you defeat him, your position will be secure.

If others want to challenge you, they must cross the threshold of the throne if you disagree.

Ma Long nodded. He had a general understanding of the rules of the game. Anyway, he was strong enough that he wouldn't be afraid of anyone in a one-on-one fight.

"By the way, Brother Long, are you guys going to Zhuge Village in Jinhua?"

We're thinking of leaving too. There are too many people here, and we can't see any scenery. It's not fun at all.

Why don't we go together?

Feng Xingtong tentatively asked if they could travel together, so that someone would keep them company and keep them entertained along the way.

Ma Long looked at Wang Ye in the corner, and Wang Ye shrugged to indicate that he had no objection. Feng Baobao and Chen Duo had also finished shopping and were quietly watching him.

Xia He took his arm, which naturally indicated her agreement.

After thinking for a moment, Ma Long said, "Okay, let's hitch a ride."

"Thank you for your help, World Affairs Association."

Feng Xingtong was overjoyed and pulled Ma Long forward, saying, "It's alright, it's alright. It's a good thing that we can travel together!"

Dad's up ahead, I'll take you there.

Before long, Ma Long and his group, led by Feng Xingtong, found Feng Zhenghao, who was leaning on the fence in a daze.

Feng Shayan and Jia Zhengliang waited on the side. They had originally wanted to see the beautiful scenery, but they were disappointed to find it was full of people.

Feng Xingtong spoke first: "Dad, look who I brought!"

Feng Zhenghao was startled when he heard the voice. After calming down a bit, he slowly turned around and saw Ma Long and his group.

He immediately greeted him with a smile: "So it's Young Master Long!"

Happy New Year, everyone!

Ma Long clasped his hands in greeting: "Happy New Year, Chairman Feng!"

Feng Xingtong continued, "Dad, Brother Long and the others are also going to Jinhua. Let's go together on the way!"

After hearing Feng Xingtong's words, Feng Zhenghao hesitated. He adjusted his glasses and frowned slightly.

"Xingtong, you still act without any sense of propriety!"

Is the relationship between our World Society and the Salvation Palace something that can be made public?

"They went together like that, how could the Wang family not be suspicious?"

Feng Xingtong disagreed: "Dad, what you said is both right and wrong."

Even if we don't get close to Brother Long, won't the Wang family suspect us?

They only used us as pawns; they never trusted us.

The Wang family is in a lot of trouble these days, so they don't care about us.

Moreover, the more we play both sides and change our stance with the wind, the lower the Wang family's guard becomes, and the more they believe we pose no threat.

"If the Salvation Palace is powerful, we'll befriend them. Once the Royal Family demonstrates its absolute strength, we can go and be their dogs, won't that be the same?"

Feng Xingtong clearly hated being subservient to the Wang family's tyranny and had long harbored resentment.

After listening, Feng Zhenghao fell into thought and slowly said after a long time: "Xing Tong, you have really grown up!"

Sometimes, your simple ideas may be more suitable for the current situation.

Alright, Young Master Long, please forgive my rudeness earlier. Shall we travel together?

Ma Long felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. "Let's go?"

That's incredibly impolite.

"Uh~ we don't need to travel together once we start."

If you're going to Jinhua, we can go together.

Feng Zhenghao smiled helplessly: "Hahaha, it's my fault, it's my fault."

You've been speaking recklessly during the Chinese New Year!

"Young Master Long, please!"
