C132 Result Altered

As Zuo Feng left, his mind was preoccupied with the item at the top of the spiral tower. It was certain that there were other mechanisms at the top of the spiral tower, and the object within them was extremely attractive to the beast spirit in his chest.

But now, everyone had already left. Although they were extremely interested in the items on top of the spiral tower, there was still that blue clothed old man standing guard there. It would be a problem even if he wanted to get close to the turret, not to mention having the top of it.

With a sigh in his heart, Zuo Feng looked back at the stone tower with reluctance. At this moment, he was no longer able to see the true appearance of the tower due to the thick fog. Shaking his head helplessly, he strode forward to catch up with the few people in front of him. However, no one had noticed what Zuo Feng was doing.

Two days later, Zuo Feng and the others returned to Yan City. The mayor of the city, An Xiong, was jubilantly making a feast. He even invited some of the more respected elders from the Zuo Family Village, including Zuo Feng's parents, over. This was the first time the two old men attended such a lively banquet. Although they appeared uneasy, their hearts were still proud of their son.

He didn't know if it was arranged on purpose, but since Zuo Feng's parents arrived, Anya had accompanied him on the entire journey. Zuo Feng didn't react much to this, but his mother kept winking at him. Zuo Feng could only awkwardly ignore this. He lowered his head and continued to deal with the sumptuous dishes on the table.

The originally good atmosphere of the banquet had a new unforeseen event midway. A middle-aged man wearing a silver robe suddenly appeared in the middle of the banquet. This man looked travel worn out from the journey, as if he had travelled a long distance to arrive here. Upon seeing this silver-robed man, An Xiong's expression immediately became extremely displeased.

The silver-robed man was led by An Xiong into the side chamber for a chat. Due to the distance, no one could clearly hear what the two were saying. However, not long after they started conversing, An Xiong had an angry look on his face. It was obvious that he was greatly dissatisfied with the silver-robed man's words. It wasn't until the silver-robed man took out a green scroll that An Xiong's anger subsided.

"Imperial warrant!"

Some of them were still casually chatting, while others occasionally looked at the two people in the side room. Just as An Xiong was about to take out the scroll, Zuo Feng's lips moved slightly, and he said these four words. Uncle Tian, who was sitting at the side, turned his head to look at Zuo Feng and said, "At such a distance, you can actually hear their conversation."

Uncle Tian was also very surprised that Zuo Feng was able to call out the green scroll's name. He obviously didn't think that Zuo Feng had seen the green scroll before, because not to mention a teenager from a small mountain village like Zuo Feng, even if he was an old man who had stayed in the mayor's mansion for such a long time, this was only his second time seeing the scroll. The last time he had seen it was when An Xiong had been conferred the title of Swallow City's Mayor.

Thus, after Uncle Tian heard Zuo Feng's mutterings, he immediately determined that Zuo Feng must be similar to him. He must have also heard the conversation from such a long distance away. Zuo Feng only smiled in response before turning back to An Xiong with furrowed brows.

He and Uncle Tian were the only ones present who had heard the conversation between An Xiong and the silver-robed man from afar. The silver-robed man was an ordinary steward in County Governor Manor. He had come to look for An Xiong to notify him that the outcome of the turret trial would be cancelled due to some special reasons.

However, those who had participated in the trial were not to be recovered. They would wait for the elders of the Ye Lin Empire to understand before deciding on a new test.

The notification this time wasn't considered bad for Zuo Feng, but it was very bad for An Xiong. After all, An Xiong had been waiting all these years for this opportunity to challenge County Governor Lin Lang. But now, even though the people he sent had won, the result was that they were wiped out by the upper echelons.

As for Zuo Feng, since the reward he had obtained was not to be recovered, he naturally wouldn't feel any deficiencies. Furthermore, Zuo Feng had previously secretly hoped for this kind of result. This was because his heart had always been thinking about the mysterious existence at the top of the spiral tower.

Under normal circumstances, even if Zuo Feng wanted to enter the spiral tower again, he would have to wait for another five years. But at that time, his own age had already exceeded the range of entering the spiral tower. If he really wanted to obtain the existence at the top of the spiral tower, then that hope would undoubtedly be even slimmer.

If he were to organize another exam, it would undoubtedly be the best opportunity for Zuo Feng. Therefore, although Zuo Feng didn't show any emotions on his face, he was secretly delighted in his heart.

The silver robed man waited for An Xiong to finish reading the contents of the green scroll, and after saying a few more words, he left the City Lord's Mansion. After that, An Xiong returned to the banquet hall with a serious expression. Although An Xiong didn't say anything else, one could guess that the situation wasn't good from his ashen complexion.

The second half of the banquet was much quieter compared to the lively and joyous banquet from before. Many people were also saying that their families had matters to attend to and thus left the banquet. This originally festive event ended in grass under such an awkward atmosphere. After sending off the last guest, An Xiong immediately brought Zuo Feng over.

Zuo Feng knew that things would eventually fall to him, so he found time to bring his parents home and immediately returned to the City Lord's Mansion. In a quiet little courtyard, besides City Lord An Xiong and Zuo Feng, there was only Uncle Tian. The three of them sat down.

"According to what Elder Tian said, you already know some of the contents of the 'Empire's Hand Medallion'. I won't beat around the bush then. As for rewards, you can state your conditions for weapons, medicinal ingredients, and so forth. "

Zuo Feng had completely anticipated these words from An Xiong. Before Zuo Feng participated in the exam, the Mayor and Uncle Tian had been very confident of him. This time, not only did Zuo Feng win, but his strength had also increased by a level, which naturally made the two of them more confident.

Zuo Feng slightly smiled and calmly said, "I have gained a little bit from this time's exam. Since the Mayor had asked for it, there was nothing wrong with participating in another trial. "As long as Mayor remembers this favor, you can always take good care of our people in the future."

Hearing Zuo Feng's words, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on An Xiong's face. Although the rules for the survival training had yet to be proposed, as long as Zuo Feng agreed to join them, there would be no worries. At this moment, An Xiong was truly a little afraid that this brat would demand an exorbitant price. At that time, no matter how unwilling he was, he would have to agree.

However, Zuo Feng had unconditionally agreed to his request. This caused Liu Ming to be overjoyed and he couldn't help but look at Zuo Feng meaningfully a few more times. Under such a good opportunity, Zuo Feng didn't take the opportunity to extort money. This allowed An Xiong to have a new understanding of this young man's shrewdness.

Zuo Feng's thoughts were not as complicated as An Xiong had guessed. It could be said that he had gained quite a lot from this competition. Although it was better to have more money, the current village of Zuo Family Village was on the path to self-sufficiency. With more money, not only would it be useless, but it would also bring about other troubles.

Zuo Feng seemed to have thought of something and showed a thoughtful expression. When An Xiong saw this, he revealed a "as expected" smile. He said, "Little friend Zuo Feng, please tell us whether you've thought of something you're in urgent need of. It's alright."

Zuo Feng hesitated for a moment before saying, "County Governor Lin Lang's adopted son is the last opponent I met in the Whirlwind Tower. I believe that the City Lord has also met him."

An Xiong had obviously not expected Zuo Feng to suddenly ask about such a thing. His expression stunned him for a moment before he recovered and said calmly, "That masked young man had once come to pay his respects to me with the county governor's letter." This person's cultivation is indeed extraordinary. I believe that the county governor sent him here to deliver a letter in hopes that I would retreat after seeing this youth. "

As Ah Xiong spoke to here, he paused for a moment before continuing in a puzzled manner, "Why are you mentioning this youth? I heard that this youth seems to be extremely severely injured. It's said that he won't be able to get out of bed for a month or two." You do not have to worry that you will meet him again after rescheduling the trial. "

When Zuo Feng heard about how serious Teng Li's injuries were, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. It was his fault that Teng Fang had been injured. However, it was obvious that the vine's power had been used by someone. This caused him to feel somewhat ashamed.

Zuo Feng hesitated slightly, but finally said, "I saw that masked young man's face after the martial arts competition. He … It should be a companion from our village who went missing before the great change happened to our village. "

After listening to Zuo Feng's story for a long time, An Xiong finally came back to his senses. He mumbled to himself, "It can't be that coincidental, can it? You can confirm that this youth is the one from your village."

Zuo Feng nodded without hesitation and said, "I've checked his body carefully too. I'm confident that he's level 10. He's the person who went missing in our village."

An Xiong heavily nodded his head when he heard this. His hand gently rested on the small table at his side. His index finger drummed rhythmically on the table. Obviously, Zuo Feng's question had caused him to fall into deep thought. Zuo Feng and Uncle Tian looked at An Xiong in silence, waiting to see what decision he would make.

After a long while, An Xiong's fingers suddenly stopped tapping. Zuo Feng immediately looked at him with rapt attention. An Xiong smiled slightly and said, "Although this matter seems easy to handle, it is also a little difficult to accomplish." If we say that it's difficult, it might not necessarily be impossible. "

Zuo Feng deeply furrowed his brows upon hearing this. This An Xiong was actually playing a charade with him. If things were easy to handle, he wouldn't have mentioned it to An Xiong at this time. Zuo Feng didn't speak. Instead, he stared at An Xiong.

Instead, he smiled and said, "Actually, this matter isn't that troublesome. If you are able to win the championship in the next trial, then no matter what, that Lin Lang will also be willing to sell me this face."
