Chapter 76 (2/2)
”Could it be… Yan Xiu!” Imperial Messenger Qin's gaze quickly noticed Yan Xiu, who had stood up from the spectator stand. Then, he recalled Yan Xiu's voice previously, thought for a while, and finally understood.
If Yan Xiu a.s.sisted from behind the scenes, then this incident could be explained!
As Imperial Messenger Qin was intensely trying to reason in his heart, the crowd of examinees below the stage was completely stunned by what had just transpired.
The demon race!
A strong species completely different from the human race!
Fang Zhengzhi managed to kill him? How is it possible that he could kill a demon? Why was the first thing he cared about after killing the demon his clothes?
Everyone had an urge to kneel down after hearing Fang Zhengzhi's words just now.
Could he not be so stingy!
”Fang Zhengzhi killed a demon?!” Li Huer and Meng Jiangshan glanced at one another, their eyes filled with complete shock. They understood that from now onwards, the path Fang Zhengzhi would walk was going to be completely different from theirs.
Killing a demon wasn't something an average person could do.
Every person who was able to kill a demon would be emphasized upon and nurtured by the dynasty, becoming a person deserving of people's respect.
At this moment, Imperial Messenger Qin also moved. In one leap, he stood on top of the stage. Then, lowering his head to look at the demon within the cracks, whose face was the colour of golden paper, he nodded lightly.
Still alive? This is a good thing!
When Yan Xiu saw Imperial Messenger Qin mount the stage, he also gracefully made his way onto the stage. But, he didn't pay any attention to the demon youth, and instead fixated his gaze upon Fang Zhengzhi.
”I can give you a set of clothes!” Yan Xiu opened his mouth.
When the examinees below the stage heard Yan Xiu's words, they instantly felt the urge to kneel down again. Wasn't the main point here about Fang Zhengzhi killing the demon? Why was Yan Xiu, like Fang Zhengzhi, first concerned about clothes?
”Alright!” When Fang Zhengzhi heard this, he instantly smiled.
Among the examinees, there were already people kneeling on the floor. It seemed that the thought process of these two people in front of them wasn't something normal people could understand.
Imperial Messenger Qin's expression was also just as queer. But, considering Yan Xiu's social status, he forced down the doubt in his heart.
”This time, Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu's contributions in killing the demon cannot go unnoticed!” Imperial Messenger Qin thought for a while, and decided that such a wording would be more appropriate.
”I didn't contribute at all!” Yan Xiu replied indifferently.
Imperial Messenger Qin smiled. He often heard people say that Yan Xiu's personality was too icily arrogant. Today's encounter confirmed this fact, hence he didn't speak further.
”You say he is a demon?” Fang Zhengzhi seemed to have realised something afterwards.
”Oh… that's right!” Imperial Messenger Qin was taken aback.
”He looks rather similar to us…” At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi became rather curious, his jet-black eyes stared at the demon within the crack.
”On the forehead of every demon is a natural ”Demon Eye”. This is what they use to communicate with Heaven, Earth and Nature, and build their strength!” Imperial Messenger Qin explained.
”Oh, I see!” Fang Zhengzhi nodded. Reaching into the crack, with a woosh, he pulled out the demon youth from within the crack.
”Ah!”
This movement instantly alarmed Imperial Messenger Qin and the surrounding examinees.
This guy was still alive!
”This demon eye seems not too shabby, I wonder how much I can sell it for if I dig it out?” Fang Zhengzhi didn't bother paying any attention to the crowd's shock and felt about the demon eye on the demon youth. It was rather cold.
