After being slapped in the face by a rookie like Lin Yi, Hu Yunfeng was immediately put on the spot. Although Meng Jueguang's suggestion sounded reasonable, the situation in front of him was really embarrassing.
This feeling was like a referee blowing a whistle against his conscience, only to be exposed on the spot. Even with Hu Yunfeng's thick skin, he could not help but feel ashamed.
This Meng Tong was really useless. Would it kill him to grit his teeth and hold on a little longer? Why did he have to fall so quickly? Didn't he see that Qiao Hongcai could still stand up?
But, no matter how embarrassed he was, words that he had said were like water that had been spilled. No matter how ironic the situation was, he could only bite the bullet and hold on.
"Your name is Lin Yi, right? A rookie dares to criticize this Pavilion Master's decision. Didn't the steward teach you the rules of the Welcome Pavilion? "Hu Yunfeng looked coldly at Lin Yi and reprimanded him harshly.
After pausing for a moment, Hu Yunfeng continued, "But since you've asked, I'll reluctantly answer your question in front of so many people. Just now was just now, and now is now. Regardless of whether they are standing or kneeling, at least when this Pavilion Master announced the decision, neither of them could stand up. Do you have any objections? "
The audience looked at each other when they heard this. Although Hu Yunfeng's words were full of vigor, the content was pure sophistry.
Everyone knew that the rules of the Rookie Challenge Competition were to ensure fairness. The most basic and core concept was that the winner had to be decided by the contestants themselves, including the referee. No one was allowed to interfere for any reason.
And in this lose-lose match, although Hu Yunfeng had no choice but to interfere, he had to minimize the interference to the outcome of the match. However, it was necessary to minimize the interference to the outcome of the competition. And the result was clearly a black whistle. He did not hesitate to favor Meng Tong, which clearly went against the original intent of the Rookie Challenge. His words could be said to be sophistry, but it was not an exaggeration.
Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh coldly. He was about to retort, but unexpectedly, Qiao Hongcai forced herself to walk down the stage. He gave Lin Yi a look, indicating that there was no need to continue arguing with Hu Yunfeng.
Although he was very grateful to Lin Yi for standing up for him, he also knew that with the difference in status and identity between them, this kind of reasoning wouldn't yield any results. Even if he, Boss Lin Yi, was strong and powerful, it couldn't change the fact that he was still a newcomer in the Clear Cloud Pavilion.
A mere newcomer of Blue Cloud Pavilion dared to argue with the Pavilion Master of the Welcoming Pavilion? No matter how righteous he was, it was useless. The result was already determined.
Lin Yi was well aware of this. Since Qiao Hongcai had the same intention, there was no need for him to continue being entangled with Hu Yunfeng. She had to let Qiao Hongcai vent her anger on herself.
As for Hu Yunfeng …. Lin Yi wasn't in a hurry. In the common world, there were many powerful people who had been stepped on by him. He wasn't in a hurry!
A hero shouldn't be afraid of a weak background. This was also applicable on Sky Class Island! Was Zhang Liju a newcomer from the common world? But what would happen in the end?
"Ku Shixiong. You go back with Hongcai first. I'll come over to heal him later. "Lin Yi said to Ku Shixiong.
Although Qiao Hongcai was heavily injured, Lin Yi was a hundred percent sure that he could heal him in a short period of time. But Lin Yi was a hundred percent sure that he'd be able to make a full recovery in a short amount of time. The challenge wasn't over yet, however, and Lin Yi and Xiao Ran had to stay here.
Ku Shixiong and the others froze. They knew that Lin Yi was an elixir refiner, but they had never heard that he could heal people. He could concoct elixirs and heal wounds. Was Lin Yi heading in the direction of Miracle Doctor Dan Saint Zhang Liju?
Although they were confused, Ku Shixiong and the others didn't ask. As far as they were concerned, Lin Yi probably had a fourth level supreme level elixir or a fifth level supreme level elixir in his hands. Ku Shixiong nodded at Lin Yi and left with Qiao Hongcai.
Lin Yi and the others stopped protesting. With that, the duel between Qiao Hongcai and Meng Tong was finished- although it was a lose-lose situation, Meng Tong took advantage of Hu Yunfeng's favoritism. He took four points from Qiao Hongcai and took the twelfth cave.
"Boss, what do you think if I challenge Meng Tong now?" Xiao Ran suggested.
Meng Tong was unconscious now, and even if he woke up, he would be useless. If Xiao Ran were to challenge him now, Meng Tong's only choice would be to surrender. Otherwise, for the sake of Qiao Hongcai, even an honest man like Xiao Ran wouldn't mind sending him on his way.
On top of that, Meng Tong was currently residing in the twelfth dwelling at the foot of the mountain. In the entire Clear Cloud Pavilion, other than the heavily injured Qiao Hongcai, the only people who could challenge him were Cha Wu in the fourteenth dwelling and Xiao Ran in the fifteenth dwelling.
If Xiao Ran proposed to challenge Meng Tong, it would be reasonable. Even if Meng Jueguang and the others pulled Pavilion Master Hu Yunfeng over, it would be useless. They wouldn't be able to find any reason to stop Xiao Ran.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yi smiled indifferently and said, "Let's leave this resentment to Hongcai in the next round. Just follow the original plan and fight your way up one cave at a time. Not only will you not waste your points, but you might even make Meng Tong cry even more. "
Xiao Ran was stunned. Looking at Lin Yi's mysterious smile, he thought for a moment and smiled knowingly, "Then I know what to do."
The reason was very simple. If he challenged Meng Tong now, it would indeed be hitting him while he was down, and he would be able to help Qiao Hongcai vent her resentment. But there would be a side effect, and that was Meng Tong would jump back to the fifteenth cave.
In this way, as long as Meng Tong admitted defeat and took out the four points he had just obtained, he would be able to buy the fifteenth cave, which was an excellent safe haven. As long as he didn't challenge Meng Tong, no one would be able to disturb him. Such an outcome was obviously not what Lin Yi and the others wanted to see.
Before making Meng Tong pay a heavy enough lesson, how could they let him off so easily?
Not to mention Qiao Hongcai, even Lin Yi wouldn't agree to this!
On the surface, Hu Yunfeng's decision to side with Meng Tong did seem to give Meng Tong a great advantage, but in a sense, it was equivalent to pushing him into a pit of fire at the same time.
