Chapter 557 Who will win?

When he saw the bits and pieces of medicinal residue scattered on the paper gently dragged in Zuo Feng's hand, he was so shocked that he secretly exclaimed "something bad".

At this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly cheered loudly and excitedly. Although the voice was not loud, it was extremely harsh in the ears of City Lord Lin.

He was still thinking about how to continue to embarrass Zuo Feng, at least not allowing Zuo Feng to win the final victory. But after the middle-aged man next to him spoke, he knew that everything had been settled. Even in his capacity as the host of the competition, he did not dare to openly judge that the young man named Shen Feng in front of him had failed. He was undoubtedly playing with fire** .

When Zuo Feng saw City Master Lin's expression, he already understood something in his mind. At the same time, he turned to look at the middle-aged man and bowed slightly to express his gratitude. If he still doesn't know clearly that this middle-aged man is secretly helping him, then Zuo Feng doesn't have to come out to fool around.

At this time, the middle-aged man returned to his previous indifferent expression, but there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

City Lord Lin finally made a decision, gritted his teeth and said, "Since the Lord has confirmed your strength, I hereby declare that Mr. Shen Feng has successfully qualified for the Tushan Town competition."

Hearing what he said, Zuo Feng finally relaxed a little. In this way, he at least understood that his goal this time was achieved. Although there are many twists and turns, he can feel relieved to get such a result.

The middle-aged man next to the City Lord turned his head to look at City Lord Lin with a half-smile. City Lord Lin looked a little uncomfortable. After a while, he tapped his forehead in embarrassment and said, "That's right, that's right. Wow, look at me, this old fool, Mr. Shen Feng won the first place, and he also forgot to give you this token of advancement."

Then City Lord Lin reluctantly reached out and took out a jade piece from his arms. It seemed that the jade piece was very ordinary, but it could be judged from its appearance that the jade piece should be incomplete. Although the upper circle cannot be distinguished due to its incompleteness, it is still possible to distinguish the simple character "一" on it.

Since City Lord Lin was unwilling to hand it over to him, it further demonstrated the importance of this jade piece. Zuo Feng hurriedly reached out and took it. When he saw the middle-aged man again, he found that he was smiling and nodding towards him. Zuo Feng also nodded slightly and took the incomplete jade piece into his arms.

Just after Zuo Feng settled down, a very pleasant female voice suddenly came from behind him, saying lightly: "Sir City Lord, my medicine powder has been refined. Please see it with your own eyes, City Lord."

Zuo Feng smiled and looked back. From the previous footsteps, he had already judged that the person coming behind him was the extremely intelligent Duan Yueyao. This woman was wearing a goose-yellow gown today, and she looked even more dazzling when standing under the sun. Even City Lord Lin and the middle-aged man beside him couldn't help but froze when they first saw her.

After coming back to his senses, City Lord Lin took a few steps forward and carefully took the jade bottle from Duan Yueyao's hand. After just a cursory look, he immediately announced that she had qualified for promotion. After he finished speaking, City Lord Lin noticed that the middle-aged man was looking at him thoughtfully. Only then did he realize that the difference between him being so easy-going towards this woman and yet making things difficult for Zuo Feng was too obvious.

Just at this time, a short figure came over and helped the old guy out of trouble invisibly. Of course the person who came this time was Duan Xiang. This boy walked up to Sister Nai, pouted his lips with some dissatisfaction, and whispered in a low voice: "If I had known better, I would have chosen the easiest medicine powder to refine. Otherwise, I will definitely be in front of you this time.”

After saying that, the young man had already reached the end of the steps and reached out his hand to hand over his jade bottle. City Lord Lin naturally also reached out to take it. But this time he learned better. He shook the jade bottle a few times, put it to his nose and sniffed it a few times. Then he put it under the sun and looked at it carefully before nodding and saying: "Little friend Duan Xia's alchemy skills." It’s really good, this medicine powder is up to standard.”

It seemed that City Lord Lin was a little dissatisfied with the way he repeatedly verified the medicine powder he had made. He seemed to be saying, "Is there something wrong with the medicine powder I made? This is simply an insult to me."

Then he turned to look at Zuo Feng, and then said with a smile: "Brother Shen Feng, I haven't been able to see you since I woke up early in the morning, which made me worried that you wouldn't come to participate in the competition. Fortunately, you came here in time, but The way you came here is really cool."

Then he turned to look at Duan Yueyao who was two steps down, raised his face slightly and said: "I said Brother Shen will definitely win the championship. You didn't believe it at first, just with my brother's skills..."

Zuo Feng was shocked. This young master had no reputation at all. If he kept talking, he might tell everything about what he saw and heard last night. How could he dare to let him continue to speak? He hurriedly interrupted him and said: "It's not as powerful as you said. It just happened that this competition came across a kind of medicine powder that I am most proficient in. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to get ahead. You and your brother are in front of me. You and your brother won the last contest in Tushan Town. This time, I won one round and it was a tie at best. And I didn’t mean to leave you behind on purpose. I just had some personal matters. Just let me deal with it."

Ignoring Duan Xia who nodded secretly, Zuo Feng turned his head and glanced sideways. Naturally, his private affairs were the trouble that City Lord Lin had caused for him. At the same time, he also thought that the medicinal materials obtained by their siblings could obviously be used to refine a lot of medicinal powder. It was obvious that the old man was deliberately trying to show his favor to him.

However, although the number of medicinal materials he obtained was the same, the amount of medicinal powder that could be refined was pitifully small, and every medicinal powder that could be refined was high-end, which simply reached a new level of shamelessness.

At this time, City Master Lin seemed to calm down, turning a blind eye to Zuo Feng's hostile gaze. He took two steps forward and said loudly: "Now that the three promotion quotas have appeared, this year's competition has also been completely ended. I hope that I will not be promoted." Those who are qualified should not be discouraged, continue to specialize in alchemy after returning, and come back to participate in three years."

His voice came out from his throat using spiritual energy. Although it didn't sound very loud, everyone present heard it clearly. Most of the people stopped what they were doing with an annoyed look on their faces and looked at the three Zuo Feng who were standing on the steps with envy in their eyes.

However, a few people did not stop and continued to refine the medicine powder in their hands, as if they would not give up until the medicine powder was successfully refined.

City Lord Lin passed by the few people who were still refining medicine in the square, hesitating to speak but did not say anything else. Then he reached into his arms and took out two jade pieces that were almost the same as those he had just given to Zuo Feng and handed them to Duan Xia, saying, "These are your siblings' promotion qualifications. As for how to distribute them, it's up to you."

Zuo Feng's sharp eyes had already seen the words "two" and "three" written on the two jade pieces respectively. It seemed that what City Lord Lin gave him was indeed a token of promotion.

With a thought in his heart, Zuo Feng said: "Since the competition here has ended, I am ready to leave. I wonder if City Lord Lin will let me go?"

After finishing speaking, Zuo Feng turned back to look at the closed door and the fully armed warrior guarding the door. City Lord Lin smiled coldly and said, "This competition is over, so naturally you can leave at any time."

Then, he waved his hand in the void and said loudly: "Open the door and all the participants can leave on their own."

Duan Xia handed a jade piece to Duan Yueyao with a smirk on his face. Zuo Feng saw that the boy actually handed the jade piece with the word "three" written on it to his sister, and he and Duan Yueyao showed the same helpless smile. During this period of time, it seems that as long as it is related to refining medicine, he will be particularly serious and fussy about it.

However, Duan Yueyao smiled indifferently and happily put away the jade piece that was handed to her. Seeing that Zuo Feng was already walking down the steps, Duan Xia said, "I don't know when Brother Shen will leave. Why don't we set off with my sister tomorrow?"

Zuo Feng sighed in his heart. He naturally wanted to die about Duan Xia's proposal, but thinking that Duan Yueyao might use this to make further demands on him, he could only suppress the urge to agree to Duan Xia and said with a smile: "I still have some There are personal matters to deal with, but we can get together again in Baitai City soon."

Duan Xia couldn't help but nodded with some disappointment, but Duan Yueyao smiled and said two words "take care". Although it was just two simple words, Zuo Feng had already heard the other party's warning and knew that City Lord Lin would not give up easily. In the end, he just saluted a few people present and strode out of the square.

The Duan siblings immediately returned the greetings. Of course Zuo Feng would not be polite to City Master Lin, but when facing the middle-aged man, he bowed deeply and made a junior salute before leaving. The middle-aged man's eyes flashed, and he seemed to be very fond of Zuo Feng's humble attitude.

When Zuo Feng strode down the steps, his face gradually became serious. Although he had made up his mind to leave the city immediately after the competition, he also knew that it was not easy to leave safely.

The most terrible thing is that after Niefeng helped him before, Chuanyin told himself that he "cannot help Zuofeng anymore in a short time" and then fell asleep again, making Zuofeng unable to start Niufeng again.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh secretly, but my pace kept accelerating, and I quickly left the City Lord's Mansion. Although there were a large number of city guards and government guards, no one spared Zuo Feng. Zuo Feng guessed that this was probably related to the middle-aged man. Although he was very curious about who this middle-aged man was and why he was willing to help him like this, now was not the time to find out.

But thinking about it, since this man helped me so much and his status was not low, if he continued in the competition, he would definitely know his identity one day.
