Jiang Lin hesitated for a moment, but finally clicked "agree".

......

A moment later, Jiang Lin arrived at the Jingfeng ship.

Well, because he just asked where March 7th was, and she said Yun Li planned to show her around later so she wouldn't be nervous on the stage.

After finishing the task assigned to him by Jingyuan, Yanqing also went back there later to meet up with Sanyueqi and the others.

So Jiang Lin came here, intending to wait for them.

Jiang Lin looked around for a while but didn't find any trace of Bu Liren. He remembered that there were quite a few Bu Liren here in the original story.

This made Jiang Lin sigh. Bu Liren was really pathetic. He had only captured a few of their companions, so why was he so scared that he cowered away?

Chapter 161 Boasting—A Skill Even the Oldest Person Possesses

Just as Jiang Lin was about to wander around the Jingfeng warship, a familiar figure appeared before him.

Jiang Lin was a little confused. Wasn't he supposed to arrive a little later? How come he arrived even faster than the others on March 7th?

But he didn't pay much attention to these details.

As Jiang Lin's voice rang out behind Yan Qing, Yan Qing turned around with some confusion.

"Professor Jiang Lin, what brings you to the Jingfeng Ship?"

"Oh, I'm here to see March 7th. She said she and Yunli would be visiting here later."

Yanqing nodded thoughtfully and said:

"I see. But actually, tourists are not allowed to land on the Jingfeng Ship before the martial arts ceremony begins."

Jiang Lin paused for a moment, then looked at the tourists touring the Jingfeng ship, as if to say, "Are you sure?"

"Um...this situation is rather special. For some reason, the general issued an order to lift the restrictions on the Jingfeng warship in the next few days."

Yanqing scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, then quickly changed the subject:

"I suppose this is Mr. Jiang Lin's first time visiting the Jingfeng Ship? Shall I show you around?"

"Well, I've got nothing better to do anyway."

Jiang Lin didn't ask too many questions, nor did he refuse Yan Qing's suggestion. He did intend to relax recently and would avoid getting involved in other people's business.

"Because the martial arts ceremony is about to be held, more and more people are coming to the Jingfeng ship."

On the way, Yanqing explained the current situation to Jiang Lin.

"Have you all taken care of the necessary preparations?"

"Well, there are still some things left that can only be prepared on the same day."

After arriving at a spacious platform, Jiang Lin looked around and found that there were more people here than in other places.

"Most of the people here are the fighters who will be going into the ring, as well as some related staff."

Upon arriving, Yanqing quickly introduced the place to Jiang Lin, then, after thinking for a moment, added:

"With the martial arts ceremony about to take place, they naturally need to make more preparations."

Jiang Lin nodded, casually fixing his gaze on a person practicing martial arts.

But after just glancing at it, he asked Yanqing with some curiosity:

Is there an age limit for participating in the martial arts ceremony?

Yan Qing was taken aback, then asked with some confusion:

"In this respect, there aren't really any major restrictions. Why do you ask that?"

Jiang Lin pointed to the person practicing martial arts over there and said:

"That guy over there must be at least several hundred years old."

With that, Jiang Lin walked toward the person.

Yanqing quickly followed.

As Jiang Lin and his companion approached, the man paused slightly in his martial arts practice, then looked at them and asked:

"Is something the matter... for you two?"

"Hello, we don't really have anything important to say, we just wanted to ask how many times you've participated in the martial arts ceremony?"

Jiang Lin first greeted them, and then they started talking about the martial arts ceremony.

"Oh, so you've come to learn from this old man?"

The man opposite confidently guessed the two young men's purpose, and then said:

"To be honest, I don't have any experience to pass on to you."

"Why do you say that? Is there something you're having trouble saying?"

Yanqing asked curiously at this moment.

"Haha, to be honest, I'm just like you guys, this is my first time participating in a martial arts ceremony."

Hearing this, Yanqing was a little confused. If he was an old man who had participated many times and was not satisfied with his previous results, it could be understood that he was still participating at his age because of his obsession. But this was his first time at this age... was he here to bully the weak?

At this moment, the man looked at Yanqing and Jiang Lin and couldn't help but feel a strange sensation...

Why do I feel like I've seen this somewhere before?

But he couldn't remember, and then he stopped thinking about it. Maybe he was just imagining things because he was getting old.

Thinking this, he turned his gaze to Yanqing.

"I think this child is skilled with a sword, isn't he?"

Upon hearing his guess, Yanqing couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"The old gentleman has a good eye."

"Haha, for a young man like you, I must give you a piece of advice: don't take the martial arts ceremony too seriously."

Upon hearing his words, Yanqing immediately retorted:

"The martial arts ceremony is a major event in Luofu; how can it be taken lightly?"

But the man was not angry at Yanqing's rebuttal.

"Luofu's big events are not your big events. You have a long future ahead of you."

"But......"

Yanqing wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by that person.

"Besides, the martial arts ceremony is nothing special. Back in the day, when I was 20 years old, I participated in the Sword Master Tournament."

When Yanqing heard the words "Sword Master Tournament," he paused instantly, looking at the person in front of him with some curiosity... who should be an elder of the Chiming Clan.

Seeing Yanqing's expression, the man became somewhat smug and continued:

"Unfortunately, I fought my opponent for three hundred rounds and was not at a disadvantage. But in the end, I was outmatched and was seriously injured, so I had no choice but to lose the match."

At this moment, Jiang Lin noticed something strange about the old man's expression, because he realized that the man was lying.

Yanqing, however, did not notice, and Jiang Lin did not remind him. After all, Jiang Lin could understand; bragging was a skill that even the oldest men possessed.

"May I ask where you ranked back then, sir?"

The old man paused, then said somewhat awkwardly:

"I encountered that opponent too early back then, it was really just bad luck of mine, so... cough cough."

Yanqing nodded knowingly. If what the old man in front of him said was true, then he was indeed very unlucky.

At this point, the person seemed a little embarrassed, so they changed the subject:

"Speaking of which, I even saw General Jingyuan, who is now, at the scene back then."

"Really? Then the general at that time..."

"Um... I saw it from the audience."

Yanqing paused for a moment, then asked again with great interest:

"Did you spar with that swordsman again after that?"

"My opponent at the time was a white-haired woman. I acknowledged her strength, but unfortunately, I only recovered last week..."

Yanqing was taken aback, then asked:

"May I ask your age, sir...?"

"Oh, I'm seven hundred and sixty years old this year."

Immediately, Yanqing fell silent, and Jiang Lin, from their few words, guessed who his opponent had been.

But...did she really go that far?

Thinking this, Jiang Lin turned his gaze to Yan Qing.

At this moment, Yanqing also guessed that the old man might be bragging. After all, how could someone who could fight her older sister to a standstill at the age of 20 be unknown?

However, upon hearing that he had only recovered from his illness last week and was able to attend this martial arts ceremony, Yanqing suddenly felt a little sorry for the old man.

What kind of injury is this? It must have taken hundreds of years to heal!

Well, if he can hold out until he's in front of me during the martial arts ceremony, I'll go easy on him.

Just then, Yanqing received a notification from Yu Zhao. After reading the message, Yanqing casually exchanged a few words with the old man Chiming and then left with Jiang Lin.

"Yun Li and the others have arrived, as has Yao Qing... the cook, um... I think he's a physician, he came along too."

Yanqing and Jiang Lin arrived at the agreed location.

Not long after arriving, we heard the distinctive call of March 7th.

"Jiang Lin, Yan Qing, we're here."
