However, the people suffered from the ravages of war year after year, and their lives were miserable. Those people were truly pitiful.
It was precisely because of this that the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm had a rather good impression of Xu Xiao.
Although his nickname and reputation weren't great, according to the Martial Saint of the Human World, the Northern Cold King was a benevolent ruler who loved his people like his own children.
If the young master Xu Fengnian standing beside him were truly as useless as the rumors suggested, then the Northern Cold King Xu Xiao would probably never have made such an arrangement.
Under such circumstances, how could he possibly hand over the entire vast Northern Cold to a good-for-nothing?
However, Prince Xu Fengnian didn't care about any of this at all.
Now he understands why Xu Xiao arranged for Lao Huang to have such an extremely high level of strength.
Chapter 217 It all depends on your disciple's opinion.
"Your Highness, do you think it's still necessary for the two of them to compete? Even if they continue, it won't make much sense for either of us, don't you think?"
Ye Fan, the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm, turned around to look at Xu Fengnian standing next to him, and then asked very calmly.
After all, in his memory, that was indeed the case, no matter how much Old Huang fought with his disciple.
Regardless of who wins or loses, it doesn't really matter to either of them.
After all, Xu Fengnian didn't have much malice towards him when he came to Wangjian Mountain this time.
It's just that after arriving at "543", I felt a bit embarrassed about my attitude.
Ye Fan, the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm, did not seem to care about how others treated him.
Moreover, in his view, martial arts in the world are unfathomable, and ordinary people may not have any possibility or opportunity to understand them.
They can only glimpse the basics, nothing more.
To truly reach that state of transcendence, one might not know how long it would take to cultivate.
And very few people can achieve what I have.
My achievements today are entirely due to chance. Without such a chance, I might just be an ordinary martial artist like everyone else in the world.
There is absolutely no difference between them.
However, times have changed. Now that it has such strength, all martial arts practitioners in the world regard Wangjian Mountain as a sacred place.
Every martial artist who can come to Wangjian Mountain and receive guidance from the martial arts saint of the world is extremely fortunate.
But even so, so what?
Despite the high regard martial arts practitioners hold for Wangjian Mountain, Xu Fengnian's impression was quite different.
After he arrived here, he didn't care about himself at all.
I kindly welcomed him up the mountain, but this guy actually treated me like this.
It seems that he doesn't really approve of the martial arts of Wangjian Mountain at all.
The Martial Saint of the Human Realm truly found this behavior difficult to comprehend, unable to fathom what the Crown Prince of Beihan was thinking.
Could it be that he really has no interest in martial arts?
If that is indeed the case, then all of this makes sense. However, all things in the world, despite their many changes, remain true to their original principles.
Even if Xu Fengnian was noble, even if he didn't have much interest in martial arts.
But was he really unaware of those rumors circulating in the martial arts world?
It's impossible that he has absolutely no curiosity at all.
Regardless, this young master Xu Fengnian is still a person, even though he holds a supreme position in Bei Han.
As the heir of the Northern Cold Kingdom, he can do whatever he wants in the Northern Cold Kingdom.
Even so, he still has to appear before the world as an ordinary person.
The Martial Saint was a little confused, but he didn't care, since he understood the situation.
Whether it's martial arts or anything else in the world, the key is to be invincible when you are free from desires.
If you don't have too many thoughts, then everything can go with the flow.
Perhaps Xu Fengnian had this attitude, and the Martial Saint was merely speculating.
Seeing Xu Fengnian's current attitude, the Martial Saint found it even more difficult to understand.
However, in his mind, even if the two people fighting in front of him continued, it probably wouldn't have much practical significance...
Old Huang had no way of harming his disciple. Although he possessed the ability, he deliberately concealed his true cultivation level.
His own apprentice, Li Yiyang, was quite good, but in front of that old man...
There's really not much chance of winning.
In any case, Wangjian Mountain emphasizes swordsmanship and has nothing to do with fist fighting.
Xu Fengnian, standing to the side, glanced at the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm, and naturally, he had his own thoughts as well.
In his memory, he really didn't care about the competition in front of him at all, and it was the disciple of the Martial Saint of the Mortal World who brought up the competition back then.
This guy is really something, taking all the blame upon himself. Just what is the attitude of the Martial Saint of the Human World?
"I say, Martial Saint, you seem to have asked the wrong person. I told you long ago that this competition was completely unnecessary."
"Whether 3.6 ends or continues, it all depends on your precious apprentice's opinion."
Xu Fengnian chuckled at the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm, and then spoke.
He had already understood what the Martial Saint meant by those words.
Perhaps the Martial Saint truly didn't want to see his disciple lose.
Under these circumstances, how could I possibly grant his wish?
After hearing Xu Fengnian's words, Ye Fan felt somewhat helpless.
I thought to myself.
This guy is extremely intelligent, even somewhat freakish.
"Okay, I understand."
Chapter 218 The Significance of Victory and Defeat
After hearing Xu Fengnian's words, Martial Saint Ye Fan understood what the young prince was thinking.
This guy's words were very simple: everything depended on what his disciple meant, and his disciple was already locked in a fierce battle with Old Huang.
Even if he wanted to step down, there might not be any possibility or opportunity at all.
The Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm naturally had a very clear understanding of his disciple.
This guy also has a very arrogant temperament; otherwise, how could he have fallen for Xu Fengnian's trick?
Why are you so determined to fight that old Huang?
If he could change his attitude, he probably wouldn't have even made a move against him. After all, Old Huang is quite old.
Moreover, since they have come to Wangjian Mountain, they are guests, and yet my disciple has proposed to have a duel with Lao Huang.
What is this guy thinking?
If there were no reason, perhaps he would never have made such a choice.
Fighting Lao Huang was not actually his intention.
He simply wanted to teach Xu Fengnian a lesson, nothing more.
He just wanted to save face for Wangjian Mountain and enhance its prestige.
Let Xu Fengnian know that the world is not ruled by the Xu family alone.
Having arrived at Wangjian Mountain, one must also follow its rules.
Although Prince Xu Fengnian has a very good status, it is only limited to the Northern Cold.
Arriving at Wangjian Mountain, he still maintains such an arrogant and domineering attitude. This guy must be utterly ignorant of his own limitations.
Therefore, he wanted His Highness to know that under such circumstances, one must also know that there are always people more capable than oneself and that there is always something beyond one's understanding.
But to everyone's surprise, Xu Fengnian was extremely cunning and simply couldn't be bothered with him.
He hid to the side and let Lao Huang fight him. He didn't know how capable Lao Huang was. Not to mention himself, even Li Yiyang didn't know anything about Lao Huang.
How could Li Yiyang possibly know just how capable he was?
Although in Li Yiyang's mind, even defeating Old Huang would have brought some fame to Wangjian Mountain.
But he never expected that Old Huang, who looked so frail, would actually become so strong.
I have already exchanged hundreds of blows with him, but we still haven't been able to determine a winner.
Just how capable is this old guy?
They were naturally unaware of the situation, but now it seemed that the choice made by the master and disciple had satisfied Xu Fengnian greatly.
Isn't this the result he wanted?
He just wanted to see how capable this old man, Huang, was; he wouldn't normally have had such an opportunity.
