Hearing Chu Feng say this, the chief steward felt somewhat panicked, because this was a very dangerous way of thinking.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he originally wanted to continue advising Chu Feng.
But when he looked, he found that Chu Feng’s eyes were filled with determination.
It was a determination that was hard to shake.
Seeing such eyes, the chief steward became even more panicked.
“Chu Feng, although Zi Ling is outstanding, you do not really understand her.”
“Why must you have such an obsession with Zi Ling?”
The chief steward said.
“Chief steward, to be honest, here… perhaps no one understands Zi Ling better than I do.”
Chu Feng said.
“Could it be… you knew her before?”
The chief steward sensed something was wrong.
“I am Zi Ling’s husband.”
Chu Feng said.
“Ah?”
“This…”
“Chu Feng, are you serious about this?”
“This kind of joke cannot be made.”
The chief steward said.
“If the chief steward thinks it is a joke, then in your eyes, it can be a joke.”
“But for me, Zi Ling is mine, and it is absolutely not a joke.”
Chu Feng’s tone became extremely serious at this moment.
“Chu Feng, you…”
Seeing Chu Feng’s grave expression, the chief steward also realised that this matter might be true.
“Chu Feng, even if this is true, it is still better not to make it public.”
“Trust me, I will not harm you.”
The chief steward reminded him.
“Chief steward, rest assured. Chu Feng knows what he is doing.”
Chu Feng smiled. He did not want the chief steward to worry about him either.
After that, the chief steward talked with Chu Feng some more, but it was all advice for Chu Feng. Seeing that Chu Feng had already made up his mind, he eventually left.
As for Chu Feng, he continued his seclusion, trying to break through the Wolong Soul Armour.
Around noon, the outside started to become noisy.
That was because the sect master’s announcement about recruiting a marriage partner for Zi Ling had spread.
With the matter now public, Chu Feng had no mood to stay in his residence and continue breaking through the Wolong Soul Armour, so he also headed to the registration place.
The registration site was a square. Because it was located at the very centre of Wolong Martial Sect, it was called the Central Square.
This place was not part of the four courtyards, so anyone could come here.
The Central Square was extremely vast and could accommodate hundreds of millions of people gathered at the same time.
Usually, when Wolong Martial Sect had important matters, they would be announced here.
At this moment, the Central Square was packed with people. Many disciples from the four courtyards had come.
Not only the younger generation, but even disciples from the previous generation and elders had also arrived.
There was no important event or grand ceremony today. The reason so many people were here was naturally because of the matter concerning Zi Ling.
In the centre of the square, a high platform had been set up. This high platform seemed to have been newly built.
Behind the high platform were four exquisite wooden boards.
The back two wooden boards were covered with red cloth. That red cloth was a treasure, so even barrier techniques could not see through it.
With this red cloth in place, naturally no one could see the words on those wooden boards.
The front two wooden boards had no red cloth covering them, so the writing on them was clearly visible.
First board: Younger generation age.
Second board: Within one month.
These were the second of the requirements for this marriage recruitment and engagement.
As for the back two wooden boards, they naturally had the remaining two requirements written on them.
But until the red cloth was lifted, people did not know what those requirements were.
However, compared to those four requirements, what Chu Feng paid more attention to right now was the front side of the high platform.
On the side in front of the high platform, there was also a wooden board.
Below the wooden board, a pen had been prepared.
This wooden board was the registration place. As long as one wrote their name on it, they could participate in this marriage recruitment and engagement.
Right now, there were already two names on this wooden board.
They were Zuoqiu Youyu and Zuoqiu Yanliang.
These two were currently ranked second and third among the Wolong disciples.
Apart from that disciple whom the sect master had brought back to the sect and who had not yet shown himself, these two were the strongest among the current younger generation disciples.
At the moment, although many people were gathered here, apart from those two, no one else had actually registered.
But this was understandable.
What kind of person was Zi Ling?
She was the apple of the sect master’s eye.
Even in this current era, which was hailed as one where talents emerged in large numbers among the younger generation, Zi Ling was still the disciple with the strongest talent.
Without some ability, who would dare to compete for Zi Ling?
If someone without ability still participated in this marriage recruitment assembly, it would not only be seeking humiliation but also making a powerful enemy.
So people came here just to watch the excitement, first to confirm whether the matter was real.
After confirming it was true, they also wanted to see who exactly would openly come to compete for Zi Ling, the sect master’s closed-door disciple.
As for registering, many people had the desire but lacked the courage.
Secretly admiring Zi Ling was one thing, but openly announcing their intentions was something most people did not have the guts for.
“Look, it’s Brother Duanmu.”
Suddenly, the crowd stirred.
It turned out that the Duanmu brothers from Xihu Courtyard, Duanmu Xiang and Duanmu Yang, had arrived.
Duanmu Xiang and Duanmu Yang were twin brothers who looked exactly the same.
Their appearance could be described as young talents. Not only were they handsome, but they also looked very proper.
After appearing, they did not act arrogant. Instead, they politely greeted acquaintances, showing themselves to be quite approachable.
However, while greeting acquaintances, the two did not stop walking. They went straight up to the high platform and each left their names on the wooden board.
People had already expected that the Duanmu brothers would participate in this marriage recruitment assembly.
The Duanmu brothers had never hidden their feelings for Zi Ling.
Now that such an opportunity had come, naturally they would not let it pass.
“Chu Feng, why are you here too?”
Suddenly, a shout rang out from the crowd.
Following the voice, they saw Tu Yuanyuan waving at him. When she saw that Chu Feng had noticed her, she strode over towards Chu Feng.
Tu Yuanyuan’s voice just now had been very loud, so almost everyone in the square heard it clearly. Moreover, since this girl had some looks, her action attracted a lot of attention.
“Chu Feng, which Chu Feng?”
“The one from Beixuan Courtyard, it couldn’t be… that Chu Feng from Beixuan Courtyard, right?”
“It’s him, it’s him. I’ve seen him. He is that Chu Feng.”
“Goodness, he looks quite good. But… did he really break Senior Dugu Lingtian’s record?”
But soon, everyone’s gazes gathered on Chu Feng.
No one knew whether Tu Yuanyuan did it on purpose.
But whether intentional or not, she had successfully made Chu Feng the most注目 person here.
After all, breaking Senior Dugu Lingtian’s record was far too sensational. Chu Feng’s name had already spread far and wide, though not many had actually seen him in person.
Now that they saw the real person, naturally people paid close attention. However… most of the gazes were still filled with doubt.
“What are you here to join the fun for? Could it be that you also want to register?”
“To compete with me for Zi Ling?”
Chu Feng asked with a smile.
“I’m just here to watch the excitement. How could a girl register for something like this?”
Tu Yuanyuan explained with a grin, but suddenly she reacted and opened her beautiful eyes wide to look at Chu Feng.
“Huh, what did you just mean?”
“Could it be that you want to register?”
In fact, this was also the question that everyone else present wanted to ask.
Could it be that this newcomer disciple from Beixuan Courtyard also wanted to join the competition for Zi Ling?
