Chapter 326 (1/2)
Chapter 326: A kiss must be on the lips.
”I also do not think that Official Fang is dead . ” Eunuch Wei whispered .
Emperor Lin Mubai frowned slightly but did not say anything else . He tapped his fingers on the arm rest before standing up .
”The location for the combat examination will be the Southern Mountain Village . I have discussed this with their king . The main aim is to share tactics and improve our ability to cooperate in battle!”
”I have sent an army of 100,000!”
”I have a few requests . One, do not disturb the residents . Two, do not engage in ma.s.s destruction . Three, do not kill without reason!”
Emperor Lin Mubai paused when he reached this point .
”Yes, your highness!” All of the 29 candidates at the bottom of the wall replied in unison .
”The rules of the examination are simple . The Southern Mountain Range is the location . You can set up camp in any of the four territories - Yan Ya region, s.h.i.+ Zun region, Thunderous Lion region, and the Icy Monkey Region . These are the four war zones . The results will be determined by your final strength and territories controlled .
”Do you understand?”
”Yes your highness!”
”Set off!”
”Woo . . . ” A long drone could be heard . The 100,000 strong army turned in its spot as it marched into the distance .
On the walls of the city, the Ninth Prince watched as the army marched off into the distance . He sighed, ”He still did not appear . This way, he has effectively missed the combat examinations . Even if he rushes back, it will not matter . Ping Yang, what do you . . . wait? Where is Ping Yang?”
The incident at the Intellectual Loft consumed the entire city . Everyone wanted to know what happened to Fang Zhengzhi?
Was he dead or alive?!
The discussions leaned towards 'death' after the start of the combat examinations .
The 100,000 strong army had already set off . This meant that Fang Zhengzhi had already missed the combat examinations . He did not have the token from the army and could not move any soldiers .
Without soldiers, how was he going to battle the other candidates?
How was he going to guard his territories?
Fang Zhengzhi was the top of the theory examination . By missing out on the combat examinations, he was effectively giving this golden opportunity away . Only a fool would do such a thing .
There was only one reason why Fang Zhengzhi would miss the combat examination .
Something bad happened to him .
Was he dead?
Obviously, Fang Zhengzhi had not died . On the contrary, he was living a good life now . He was in a orchard filled with fruits of all variety . . .
They were all sweet and juicy .
He even had a servant .
When he wanted to listen to music, Immortal Tune would appear in front of him . Guqin, drums, whatever Fang Zhengzhi wanted to listen to .
It was the life of the G.o.ds .
But . . .
He couldn't get out!
Fang Zhengzhi looked out across the vast orchard . There was an exquisite residence by the side of a creek . He was enjoying life, Immortal Tune playing music for him whilst he admired the scenery .
Today, Immortal Tune wore a green dress as she sat in the gra.s.s . She looked just like an immortal sprite .
”I really failed?”
”Yes, your name was not in the top 10, neither was it in the subsequent list . I think you didn't make the top 30 . According to the rules of the court examination, you failed!” Immortal Tune nodded .
”Okay then . . . your master said she would meet me in five days . Hasn't it been five days?” Fang Zhengzhi nodded and shook his leg as he raised it on the table .
”My master is rather busy these few days . Perhaps you could wait another couple of days?” Immortal Tune chuckled when she saw Fang Zhengzhi's uncouth action .
This was not because of Fang Zhengzhi's relations.h.i.+p with her master .
It was because she knew for a fact that Fang Zhengzhi had tied with Nangong Hao for joint first in the court theory examination .
No matter how uncouth he seemed, he was an educated man .
One's actions did not determine if one was elegant or educated . The heart was what differentiated the good from the bad .
”Busy?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Immortal Tune doubtfully .
”Yes . ” Immortal Tune nodded solemnly .
”What is the name of your master?”
”You will know when you meet the master . ”
”Oh I see . . . Wu Yuer, you old hag! Get out here! Do you expect me to put a red carpet out here for you? Or are you too old to show your face in public?” Fang Zhengzhi nodded, then yelled .
”b.l.o.o.d.y h.e.l.l! Fang Zhengzhi, how dare you scold me?” A crisp voice rang out in the sky . Then, a figure in black appeared in front of Fang Zhengzhi .
She wore a black dress and leather shoes with golden embroidery . She had a black beaded hair and which glowed in the light .
Her skin was snow white and there was a red dot in the middle of her forehead . She was breathtakingly beautiful .
She was born with such great features .
”Master!” Immortal Tune fell to her knees when she saw Wu Yuer
Yuer .
”Mm, you can take your leave now . ” Wu Yuer nodded to Immortal Tune .
”Yes master . ” Immortal Tune left .
After watching Immortal Tune disappear into the distance, she turned back to look at Fang Zhengzhi . ”How did you know I would be the one to bring you here?”
”I do not know many people . Furthermore, you are the only person who I know who will treat me so well . ” Fang Zhengzhi glanced at Wu Yuer before putting his other leg on the table .
”Haha . . . you're quite smart . Tell me, why are you looking for me?” Wu Yuer smiled attractively .
”Shouldn't I be asking you that question?” Fang Zhengzhi asked .
”Oh, I guess you're right . I've been quite bored lately so I decided to find you for a chat . I heard that you failed the court examinations and are free at the moment . ” Wu Yuer blinked as she mocked .
”I failed the court examinations?” Fang Zhengzhi did not believe that .
”Of course . Did you expect to top the examinations with your mediocre talent?” Wu Yuer asked scornfully .
”I am fine with not being first . But for me to fail . . . is unlikely . But since you said I failed, I must have failed . What an unlucky mouth you have!” Fang Zhengzhi replied equally scornfully .
”How dare you say that of me? Are you tired of living? I treat you so well and did not collect any money from you!” Wu Yuer feigned anger .
”Oh is that so? So I should thank you?”
”Of course . ”
”I can thank you, but you must let me go first . ”
