Chapter 205 (2/2)

It was obvious from his attitude that he was going to support Fang Xingjian.

Hearing that, a hint of fury flashed in the eyes of Mongul’s City Lord, “Alright, alright, alright. So this is your choice? We’ll see about that.” With that, he left. He wanted to quickly look for David and discuss how to secretly attack Fang Xingjian in the Regional Selection.

If they did not do this, David and their clan would be the laughingstock of Great Western City’s aristocrats for the next few years, or even more than ten years after the event. This was something he could not accept.

The banquet continued after all the issues had been settled. However, the majority of the people now had their attention turned to Fang Xingjian. Many aristocratic young ladies ran up to Fang Xingjian, hoping to get to know him better.

However, Lilia was like a small beast protecting its food, chasing away all those coquettish b*tches, until Rota came up together with Hamil and Ralph.

Both Hamil and Ralph appeared slightly uncomfortable when they looked at Fang Xingjian.

Fang Xingjian turned to Hamil with his eyes closed and asked, “My sword is with you, right?”

Hamil felt rather awkward as he nodded. Although it was not his idea to begin with, and the sword had been given to him through Edger’s decision, he had still been using the Superior Divine Weapon for a few months. Thinking of how Fang Xingjian had already attained Heaven’s Perception and how it was almost a sealed deal for him to become a Conferred Knight, he started to feel increasingly embarrassed.

The genius whose back view he could still see in the past had now cast him far behind.

Hearing Fang Xingjian’s question, Hamil immediately replied, “I’ll get someone to send it over tomorrow.”

Fang Xingjian nodded, then turned to Rota and said, “You’re not bad. You haven’t been wasting the past few months.”

He then threw a glance toward Ralph and shook his head, “You’re better off not participating in the selection. At least half the Knights in this hall are stronger than you.”

Hearing this, Ralph’s countenance turned grim. However, he did not dare to raise his hand against Fang Xingjian, and so he simply left in anger.

Just then, a young man dressed in a black robe and encompassed in shadows walked toward him. It was Anderson, the one who had transitioned into a Shadow Death God.

Fang Xingjian turned to him and asked, “What do you want?”

An icy-cold killing intent encompassed everyone with Anderson’s arrival, making Rota and the others feel that the hair all over their bodies were starting to stand up. It was just like the animals’ instinctive reaction when they encountered their deadly enemies.

Anderson revealed an icy-cold smile and said, “Nothing much. I’m just here to take a look at my opponent this time. Although there’s many people participating in the Regional Selection, there’s only a few whom I can call my opponents. Hoult, who has a Divine level grandmaster is one; Wei Leng whose luck left is another, and now there’s you.”

Anderson smiled as he continued, “However, you’re only slightly stronger than Wei Leng, and a lot weaker compared to Hoult and myself.” He then patted Fang Xingjian on the shoulder with the arrogance of an older person. “I hope you work hard.”

Looking at the departing Anderson, Lilia asked, “What was his intention for coming over?”

“It’s just a case of chuunibyou [1].” Looking at everyone’s puzzled expressions, Fang Xingjian had no choice but to explain, “It means that the person is snobbish.”

With this, everyone understood. Right then the Governor’s wife, the host of the Hundred Blossom Banquet, Hathaway, stood on the hall’s stage and clapped to get everyone’s attention.

She smiled and said, “Has everyone had a good time today? It’s about time for the Hundred Blossom Banquet’s custom, the announcement of this Regional Selection’s competition events.”

[1] A Japanese slang term which roughly translates to “Middle School Second Year Syndrome”. People with chuunibyou either act like a know-it-all adult and look down on real ones, or believe that they have special powers, unlike others.
