Identity Exposed

To be able to write more than ten thousand books is an extraordinary feat, not to mention that some of them are of Mythic-grade quality.

Even if a writer of this caliber is from the Evil Author camp, they are not people who can question him. Even if the prefect of Yong'an Prefecture came out, he might not be able to gain the upper hand against Ma Feifei.

Not to mention that the Steward Elder personally felt the extremely pure power contained within these tens of thousands of books, which could not possibly have been written by Evil Author, making his true identity obvious.

Ma Feifei looked at Xun Ling with a slight smile and said, "Master Scribe Xun, how have you been?"

Ma Feifei's words were a complete admission that Xun Ling had recognized him, but he did not change his appearance and maintained his current look.

In any case, the situation is still unclear. Although this Steward Elder seems quite powerful, he is, after all, a wanted criminal in Yong'an City. If he reveals his true colors, there may be trouble ahead.

Ultimately, we need to understand the situation clearly.

"Ma Feifei!" Xun Ling stared at Ma Feifei with a gloomy face, looking as if he wanted to devour Ma Feifei. In fact, Xun Ling had known for a long time that Ma Feifei had come to the Book Battle Continent, otherwise he would not have directly tried to issue a city-wide manhunt for Ma Feifei. However, he never expected that Ma Feifei would dare to show his face, break into Yong'an Prefecture, and even trick him in the Dou Shu competition.

"My lord, please come with me." The steward ignored Xun Ling and respectfully addressed Ma Feifei.

Ma Feifei smiled slightly at Xun Ling and said, "This Master Scribe Xun's writing ability is quite good. If it were an Epic-grade book of ordinary quality, he would probably be able to break through to the Fourth-rank Author realm."

"Huh?" No one expected that Ma Feifei would lend a hand to Xun Ling at this moment, actually taking the initiative to help Xun Ling out of the predicament.

Even Xun Ling himself was stunned for a moment, looking at Ma Feifei in disbelief, not understanding why Ma Feifei was speaking up for him.

"Does Your Excellency mean...?" The Steward Elder glanced at Xun Ling and asked in confusion.

"If possible, give him a chance," Ma Feifei shrugged and smiled.

"Hiss!"

Everyone was shocked. It turned out that their guess was correct. Ma Feifei really was going to give Xun Ling a hand!

In fact, according to the regulations of the Author Assessment Guild, if an author has any objection to the result of a writing contest, he/she can raise a protest. The Steward Elder at the scene will then investigate and decide whether to adopt the protest.

If both authors of the calligraphy contest agree on the result, the previous result can be declared invalid and a new contest can begin.

Of course, books like the ones that were just destroyed cannot be restored.

The Steward Elder nodded, understanding Ma Feifei's meaning. He turned to Xun Ling and asked in a deep voice, "You must have heard what the master said. Does it align with the master's idea of invalidating the previous writing contest results and conducting a new Fourth-rank Author assessment?"

Xun Ling stood there, stunned. After a moment's hesitation, he looked at Ma Feifei and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Feifei stepped forward, while Xun Ling subconsciously took a step back.

"Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you." Ma Feifei grinned and moved closer to Xun Ling, standing shoulder to shoulder, and whispered, "I only need the two of us."

"Two people..." Xun Ling's eyes showed doubt. He knew what Ma Feifei meant by those words. Ma Feifei wanted back the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey that he and Zhang Ke had brought back from the Azure Dragon Continent, but Xun Ling Taiqing about the other person.

Regardless of who the other person is, Xun Ling doesn't want to miss this opportunity. He knows that if he is judged to be unsuccessful this time, he will return to the level of a Xun Ling -Third-rank Author.

Furthermore, according to the regulations for the self-cultivation of authors, he must have a period of cooling-off time during which he is not allowed to write books, because books written after such failures will carry a lot of negative emotions, which can easily lead the author to darkness and make him an Evil Author.

Of course, even if an author ignores advice and writes a book on their own, the Author Assessment Guild will not allow the author to retake the assessment. They will have to wait until the cooling-off period is over before they can be reassessed.

In this way, it's impossible to know how much time will have passed.

However, if the result of the writing contest is canceled, although he loses an Epic-grade- quality book, it will not prevent him from taking the assessment again. As long as he can write Epic-grade- quality book again, he can take the assessment for Fourth-rank Author again.

Therefore, this opportunity is still extremely precious.

"Alright! I promise you!" Xun Ling nodded solemnly.

"In that case, according to the regulations for the examination of authors, and based on the mutual agreement of both parties that they objected to the result of the writing contest, the result of the Third-rank Author Xun Ling's assessment of the Fourth-rank Author is hereby invalidated. The Third-rank Author Xun Ling can still go back and write a new Epic-grade- quality book and retake the assessment of the Fourth-rank Author." The Steward Elder announced this news in a deep voice, and tapped the book he was holding five times to convey the news back to the Author Assessment Guild.

With the dust settled, the dramatic turn of events finally came to an end. The Steward Elder turned his attention back to Ma Feifei, and with a smile, gestured for her to proceed.

Ma Feifei nodded slightly, glanced at Xun Ling, and said meaningfully, "Sky-reaching Ape Monkey, Li Chenzhou, I hope Master Scribe Xun will keep his promise!"

"Don't worry," Xun Ling replied in a deep voice, his face expressionless.

Ma Feifei then followed the Steward Elder with satisfaction, Harvest countless admiring glances and exclamations of amazement wherever they went.

The Author Assessment Guild was still some distance away. Ma Feifei and the Steward Elder walked one after the other through the vast Yong'an Prefecture, looking around and taking in the scenery.

"This must be your first time visiting Yong'an Prefecture, sir?" The Steward Elder asked with a smile when he saw Ma Feifei's expression.

Ma Feifei nodded slightly and said, "This is not only my first time in Yong'an Prefecture, but also my first time in the Book Battle Continent."

Whether he is from the Book Battle Continent or not is no longer important. Based on their previous conversation, it can be concluded that there are actually many writers from other worlds in this world, otherwise the Steward Elder would not have been so calm at the time.

"Then how much do you know about authors, sir?" The Steward Elder did not directly ask Ma Feifei where he came from, but instead talked to Ma Feifei about the profession of author.

"Write books? And the books they write have all sorts of magical effects?" Ma Feifei asked curiously. Isn't an author just someone who writes books? According to modern terminology, can they be called a writer?
