…
Not too far away, in an elegant viewing room, Yan Xiu, wearing brocade clothes, sat within and naturally saw the scene happening in front of the Serene Ink Pond.
"This friend of young master is indeed free-spirited, but unfortunately offended some people he shouldn't be offending" The strong bearded man standing behind Yan Xiu heard Fang Zhengzhi's words and sighed lightly.
Yan Xiu didn't speak, and instead stood up gradually and walked out of the room.
"Young master wishes to help him?" The strong bearded man saw Yan Xiu's actions and a glimmer of shock appeared on his face, but, he didn't hold him back.
"Grandfather had said that we should be sincere towards our friend!" Yan Xiu didn't reply directly, but the meaning in his words were very obvious.
"But, the person he offended is Chi Guyan!" The strong bearded man reminded.
The entire Great Xia Dynasty knew what Chi Guyan represented. Double Dragon Roll Champion and with her outstanding status, even the current Emperor didn't dare to force Chi Guyan to do something she didn't want to do.
"So what?" Yan Xiu retorted.
The strong bearded man was taken aback, then instantly a trace of smile appeared on his contorted face. That's right, since he said he must be sincere, what's the point of considering other things?
In an instant, the strong bearded man suddenly felt that this young master in front of him seemed to have grown up. At least, he knew what was loyalty between friends.
…
Fang Zhengzhi naturally couldn't leave. In reality, when he appeared at the Serene Ink Pond, he had never prepared to leave.
Kang Xingping, whose body and hair was completely drenched with the cold pond water, blocked off his route. The initially handsome scholar temperament had already completely disappeared from Kang Xingping's body.
What remained.
Was a drowned rat that was freshly fished out from the pond.
"What a Let the sword fall on my neck and I laugh at the sky, l leave my loyalty and justice behind! Today, let me see how you can laugh!" Kang Xingping naturally couldn't control his rage.
In reality, anybody who was leisurely admiring the scenery, if pushed by somebody into the pond, naturally wouldn't be able to act as if nothing had happened.
Moreover, he still occupied a spot in the Hidden Dragon Roll, representing the top hundred talents among the youths in the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Brother Kang!" A voice sounded out from behind Kang Xingping's back. Then, wearing a purple robe, his eyes so small that it was almost a line, a youth appeared beside Kang Xingping.
"It's Cai Yongfeng!"
"Number fifty-six on the Hidden Dragon Roll, Cai Yongfeng!"
"I heard that his abilities had already reached the Divine Seal Advanced Stage, and is about to enter the Divine Seal Peak Stage!"
When the scholars beside the Serene Ink Pond saw the purple robe youth, somebody instantly recognised thing. Two youth talents on the Hidden Dragon Roll was a rare sight.
But today, they gathered together, and the reason was something everybody was naturally well aware of.
Don't tell me that before the Law of Dao examination, this good show is about to start in advance?
"If Brother Cai is here to view the fight, I naturally welcome you. But if Brother Cai is here to help, I believe there is no need to!" Kang Xingping saw Cai Yongfeng, but his expression didn't seem very happy.
The criminal demand order had gathered all the scholars under the sky in the River of Trust Capital.
Hence, whoever was the first to defeat Fang Zhengzhi would become someone noticed by everybody.
Most importantly, this would definitely be known by Chi Guyan.
Kang Xingping wouldn't let such a good opportunity end up in the hands of hands, especially since he was pushed into the pond by Fang Zhengzhi, Cai Yongfeng's appearance was even more scheming.
Causing him to owe him a favour, and at the same time becoming famous and winning the heart of a beautiful woman.
"Ha ha ha… Brother Kang is mistaken. I'm here only to stop the fight, not to help! You should know that the Law of Dao examination is the true fight!" Cai Yongfeng laughed gently, filled with calm and elegance.
Usually, his abilities were stronger than Kang Xingping, but his fate with women didn't match up to Kang Xingping. If he could prevent Kang Xingping from becoming famous, and also use this opportunity to compete with the dazed Kang Xingping, it would naturally be a good thing.
Even though both of their targets were Fang Zhengzhi, but there was only one Fang Zhengzhi. Hence, naturally both of them had their own thoughts and ideas.
Maybe this was what the ancient saying meant, even though there were many talents in the world, but they were all like a sheet of loose sand, unable to cooperate…
Kang Xingping instantly understood Cai Yongfeng's malicious intentions, and was filled with anger. But, he didn't have a choice. He had already landed in such a state, if he couldn't fight and take revenge for this humiliation, how could he be satisfied?
"If I am Young Master Kang, I will definitely let him feel what it's like to fall into the pond, then talk about stopping the fight, or helping in the fight!" Fang Zhengzhi, standing right in front of the two people, spoke at this moment.
Kang Xingping's eye lit up suddenly, and at this moment, Cai Yongfeng also stood out. His intentions were very clear, it was naturally to stop him, then display his elegance.
But if he also fell into the pond?
Kang Xingping felt that this was a good idea, but the person who suggested this idea had to be Fang Zhengzhi, causing him to feel a strange feeling.
A glint shone inside Cai Yongfeng's slit eyes. Gazing at Fang Zhengzhi, whose face was filled with calm as if none of these concerned him, the edges of his mouth curved into a smile.
If he wanted to sow dissension between the two of them and cause him to fall into the trap, then Fang Zhengzhi had underestimated him too much.
"Brother Kang you cannot fall into his trap. You must think carefully, he was the one who pushed you into the pond, I'm only here to help. Brother Kang cannot act without reasoning!" Cai Yongfeng reminded.
Kang Xingping was stunned. When he looked at Fang Zhengzhi again, sweat gradually broke out from his back. If not for Cai Yongfeng's reminder, he might really had fallen into the trap.
Fang Zhengzhi looked at these two people in front of him and smiled, sighing inside his heart. Seems like to be able to enter the Hidden Dragon Roll, one must really be somewhat scheming. Compared to those simple villagers living in the village, they were definitely stronger.
Then...
Did the trap fail?
Fang Zhengzhi looked up and gazed at the azure blue skies.
"Since Young Master Kang doubts my words, then let's make a bet. From the second this guy appeared, he had already intended to stop us from fighting fairly. Yet, now he actually said that he wishes to help you, this is indeed harbouring unfathomable motives. How about I leave now, and we'll see if he stops you. How about that?" When Fang Zhengzhi finished his sentence, he turned around and left.
Kang Xingping's mouth opened and closed. He didn't want to play such games with Fang Zhengzhi, but letting Fang Zhengzhi leave just like that was something he naturally didn't wish to happen.
He moved and prepared to act.
"Brother Kang, don't, leave him to the Law of Dao examination…" When Cai Yongfeng saw Kang Xingping act, he instantly went forward to stop him. To him, the purpose was to get merit for making the first move.
As for Kang Xingping?
His ranking was already behind that of his, what did he have to be scared of?
The two, one in offense and one in defence, naturally contacted very quickly. Kang Xingping's abilities were already below that of Cai Yongfeng. Even though he acted first, he was still blocked by Cai Yongfeng.
The already battered him instantly flew into a rage.
Thinking of the words Fang Zhengzhi said previously, the rage was quickly directed towards Cai Yongfeng.
And right at this moment.
Fang Zhengzhi suddenly turned his head. His legs moved, and his figure changed. Just like a meteor, he instantly charged towards the two people.
"Brother Kang, let me help you!" As Fang Zhengzhi shouted, he had already reached the front of the two people.
As he saw Fang Zhengzhi approaching, Cai Yongfeng couldn't help but to shout out inside his heart - this is bad! Fang Zhengzhi wanted to attack using the strength of another! Without much hesitation, he instantly pulled back to block.
And when Kang Xingping heard this, even though he wasn't very happy, but when he thought of what Cai Yongfeng just did, he still decided to watch the fight from the side.
First get Fang Zhengzhi to battle with Cai Yongfeng, then he would claim the rewards from the battle!
When he thought of this, the edges of Kang Xingping's mouth curved into a smile.
But, very quickly, the smile on Kang Xingping's face froze. Because, he suddenly felt an intense pain coming from his stomach.
Looking down, he realised a leg had kicked onto it.
"You…" Kang Xingping would never have dreamed that Fang Zhengzhi would unleash a sneak attack on him at this moment again. Furthermore, he even did so in the name of teaming together against Cai Yongfeng.
Shameless…
The epitome of shamelessness!
No matter how unhappy Kang Xingping was, he was still sent flying by Fang Zhengzhi's kick, and traced out a beautiful arch in mid-air.
"Splash!"
He landed into the Serene Ink Pond once again.
The change happened in a flash, happening so quickly that people were simply unable to react.
At this moment, Cai Yongfeng was also slightly taken aback. He didn't understand why would Fang Zhengzhi suddenly change his target of attack just now.
Don't tell me that Fang Zhengzhi didn't want me to land into the Serene Ink Pond as well?
"Thank you, Brother Cai, for your kind help and cooperation, allowing me to take my revenge. Moonview Restaurant tonight, see you there!" Fang Zhengzhi cupped his fist towards Cai Yongfeng, then turned around and left elegantly.
Leaving Cai Yongfeng with his mouth agape beside the Serene Ink Pond...
