Chapter 280 Opening (Part )
"Junior Lin Qu, greetings to all the seniors."

The young man brought by the disciples of the Wulin Alliance looked only about sixteen or seventeen years old. He looked a little timid and seemed to have rarely seen people.

He was fair and tender, with a bit of baby fat on his face, looking a little immature. He was wearing an ordinary linen shirt and saluted carefully to everyone present.

"Young Master Lin, there's no need to be so polite."

Jiang Baichuan said in a deep voice: "I called you here because Master Fu intends to give you Junior Sister Zuo's ashes - just in case you don't know each other, I specially let you meet her."

After that, he said softly: "Young man, please accept my condolences."

A trace of sadness flashed across Lin Qu's eyes, and he bowed his head again: "Thank you, Alliance Leader Jiang."

On this side, Fu Qingzhou had already stood up, strode to Lin Qu, and bowed: "I am Fu Qingzhou..."

"I've seen you."

Unexpectedly, Lin Qu raised his head and looked at him with a trace of admiration in his eyes: "When you were fighting with Monk Yuan Zhen, I was watching from the side."

Fu Qingzhou smiled: "I see..."

As he spoke, his smile faded and he whispered, "I have temporarily placed Senior Zuo's ashes in the inn. After the meeting is over today, you can come with me to get them."

"Okay." Lin Qu nodded.

As we were talking, we heard a lot of noise and excitement in the distance. We looked up and saw that it was almost noon. It was obvious that the Hidden Dragon Hundred Heroes Meeting was about to begin.

Fu Qingzhou turned around and saluted to everyone in the reception room, saying, "Senior judges, the meeting is about to begin. I will not disturb you any more. Brother Lin and I will go ahead."

"Go."

Jiang Baichuan smiled and nodded.

After saying goodbye to these judges, Fu Qingzhou took Lin Qu and slowly walked towards the venue of the Qianlong Hundred Outstanding People Conference.

"Can I... call you Brother Fu?"

Lin Qu asked cautiously.

Fu Qingzhou smiled: "Of course."

"Yeah!" Lin Qu was a little happy when he heard it, but soon his expression dimmed again, with tears in his eyes: "Before my cousin left, she just said she was going to do something important, but I didn't expect..."

"Senior Zuo is a true master and hero." Fu Qingzhou patted him on the shoulder and said, "My dear brother, please accept my condolences."

"Ah."

Lin Qu wiped away the tears from his eyes and whispered, "Both my parents died when I was young. People said I was born with bad luck and my parents died. All my relatives were unwilling to adopt me. Only my cousin took me away and raised me up..."

"Until a few years ago, when I had made some progress in my studies and had gained some fame in the martial arts world, those relatives came back and wanted me to help them settle the matter... They knew that my cousin had a bad temper and they didn't dare to offend her, so they came to point fingers at me."

"Only my cousin, she never asks for anything in return, and never asks why. She is always kind to me."

Lin Qu sighed softly: "From now on, I am alone again."

Fu Qingzhou felt uncomfortable after hearing this. He sighed and asked, "I wonder if Senior Zuo has any unfulfilled wishes? Although my ability is limited, I will try my best to help her fulfill them."

"A wish?"

Lin Qu was startled, then whispered: "Perhaps, it is to restore the sect."

"Restore the sect?" Fu Qingzhou asked, "What is Senior Zuo's sect?"

"I heard from my cousin that her master is from a small sect called 'Xingchen Tower', which specializes in magic."

Lin Qu replied, "But when she was young, the Star Tower had already lost its talent, and then her master also died of a serious illness. Only my cousin was left in the so-called Star Tower, and it has existed in name only since then."

Speaking of this, Fu Qingzhou suddenly remembered something.

When he was dealing with the matter of Ding Shuanghe from Kuaijianmen, he had said something to Zuo Lamei.

“A sect does not need a high-ranking family or a large crowd. As long as there is a legacy left, even if there is only one person left in one place, it is not considered extinct.”

At that time, Zuo Lamei seemed to be touched. It turned out to be this reason...

"Senior Zuo, do you want to rebuild the Xingchen Tower?"

Fu Qingzhou asked softly.

Lin Qu nodded slightly. "No problem."

Fu Qingzhou said calmly: "I will find a way to rebuild the Xingchen Tower."

Lin Qu was shocked at first, then overjoyed: "Brother Fu, are you serious?!"

"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond." Fu Qingzhou's eyes were firm: "But this matter cannot be accomplished in a short time, and the key lies in you."

He looked at Lin Qu and said earnestly, "Brother Lin, you are the only descendant of Senior Zuo and the only remaining descendant of Xingchen Tower. If you want to rebuild Xingchen Tower, you first need to have enough strength. Do you understand?"

Hope welled up in Lin Qu's eyes, and he nodded heavily: "I understand!"

"it is good."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "I will keep an eye on this matter for you. When you have enough strength, I will find you a treasure land full of spiritual energy, cheer for you, recruit disciples, and rebuild the Xingchen Tower to fulfill Senior Zuo's last wish!"

As the two were talking, there was already a crowd of people in front of them - the Qianlong Hundred Outstanding People Conference was right here.

Even from a distance, Fu Qingzhou knew that the Wulin Alliance had put a lot of thought and effort into this conference.

The conference venue in front must have been cleared by demolishing several small buildings to create a large open space!

In the center of the open space, a majestic and luxurious platform rises from the ground. It is magnificent. The platform is supported by huge trees and is carved with exquisite totems, showing its majesty and solemnity.

Crowds of people were surging around the big stage, and the place was bustling with activity. The area on the left was a rest area specially prepared for the young heroes attending the conference. Exquisite tables and chairs were neatly arranged, and the tables were covered with white silk cloth, with exquisite snacks and drinks. The heroes were either sitting or standing, some talking in low voices, and some closing their eyes to rest, all trying to gather their energy for the upcoming conference.

The area on the right is a viewing area prepared for countless spectators.

There are no seats here, but the people are very enthusiastic. Some of them stand or squat, and some even climb up the nearby trees and roofs, just to catch a glimpse of the opening ceremony.

As noon approached, the martial arts people who came to watch the ceremony were also let in - but it was obvious that there were more people coming to watch the fun than the Wulin Alliance had imagined, and the space prepared for them was not enough.

But people in the martial arts world don’t care about so many things. As long as they can enjoy the fun, climbing trees and buildings is no big deal. The Wulin Alliance doesn’t have the time to bother with them.

"T-There are too many people here! Are we going to compete on stage in front of so many people?!"

Seeing this scene, Lin Qu's eyes widened and he subconsciously took a few steps back.

I didn't expect this guy to be a social phobic...

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Let's go. If we want to revitalize Xingchen Tower, we can't be afraid of crowds."

He led Lin Qu and squeezed into the rest area for the heroes attending the conference.

There were hundreds of young heroes attending the conference, and most of them were already present. Few of them were comfortable sitting on chairs. All of them were standing, either chatting with acquaintances or making new friends. The scene was quite chaotic.

Fu Qingzhou squeezed around and looked around, but couldn't find Wu Changfeng, Tang Jiao and the others. Looking back, Lin Qu was gone too. He guessed they were separated by the crowd.

"Who are you looking for, damn rapist?"

At this moment, he heard a soft call beside his ear. He turned his head and saw that it was the smiling Qiu Chan!

"why you?!"

Fu Qingzhou was shocked: "Aren't you not coming?"

"Master observed the stars at night and made some divinations." Qiu Chan narrowed her eyes and smiled, "She said that this Hidden Dragon Hundred Heroes Conference is not simple, and it may involve some causes and effects that can change the world."

"For such a big event, our Purple Air Fairy Wind Temple must come and join in the fun. We cannot fall behind."

Fu Qingzhou shook his head: "It's changeable..."

"Hmph." Qiu Chan curled her lips and said, "You've been quite popular lately, what are you up to?"

"I really can't tell you this."

Fu Qingzhou waved his hand: "Let's talk about it later when the matter is settled——"

As they were talking, the crowd suddenly became agitated, and many people shouted loudly: "Alliance Leader Jiang! That's Alliance Leader Jiang!"

"It's begun! It's begun!"

Everyone looked up and saw a howling wind above the big stage. Jiang Baichuan came with a smile on his face, riding on the wind and falling from the sky!
