Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Fang Zhengzhi didn't regret his decision . Even if the others mocked him, he would still make the same decision again .
However . . .
When he thought about the one million silvers . . .
His lips twitched and his heart ached . It felt as though his pockets had just been emptied .
All that silver . . . that mountainous pile of silver . . .
”You can betray everyone in the world except for one?” Ping Yang was stunned when she heard this . She never expected that Fang Zhengzhi would say such a thing . Then, she chuckled, her body shaking . ”I never expected that someone as shameless as you would be grateful to me for what I did . ”
”Grateful to you?” Fang Zhengzhi was stunned to see Ping Yang chuckling so happily . His expression froze . Something was wrong .
No way?!
Did she misunderstand that? How overconfident is she?!
Fang Zhengzhi felt like he should explain himself, but he didn't see a need to . He couldn't say that he did that for Yan Xiu and not Ping Yang .
For starters, he would hurt feelings . Furthermore, the consequences of such a statement were unimaginable!
That was akin to confirming that he had a relations.h.i.+p with the Seven Star Lane . Even though he didn't deny that he had a connection . . .
The connection was not a strong one .
That being said, he was rather surprised to see that Ping Yang would trust him and bet that much money on something he chose .
It would seem that . . .
Ping Yang did get smarter over the past year . Maybe she really was growing up .
As for the silvers, he was prepared to forgo Yan Xiu's winnings . However, he had to find a way to recoup the silvers from Ping Yang!
He had to do it!
Wen Dabao laid on the floor . He was at a loss . He stared at Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang .
He didn't understand what the link was between what Fang Zhengzhi said and what Ping Yang had said . More importantly, what was all that talk about being grateful?
Ninth Prince Lin Yun squinted as he looked at Fang Zhengzhi . Then, he looked at the smiling Ping Yang in confusion .
Yan Xiu seemed rather calm, but his fingers trembled slightly when he heard what Fang Zhengzhi said .
It was a small movement that no one noticed .
As for the rest of the audience . . .
They were all lost and confused . They had no idea what Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang were saying .
”What did he just say? Was it some famous saying?”
”Nope . I've never heard of it!”
”Neither have I . Perhaps he is consumed by the happiness of winning all that silver . ”
”Possibly . . . I'm guessing he's never seen that much silver in his life . ”
No one could understand what had just transpired, so they decided that Fang Zhengzhi was babbling nonsense .
That being said, they were still in awe at Fang Zhengzhi's luck .
How could he possibly manage to guess that all seven stars would perform?
That was unbelievable!
Everyone looked at Fang Zhengzhi, Ping Yang, and Yan Xiu with awe and envy . However, they couldn't do anything about it .
The seven stars began to perform once again and the atmosphere inside the Seven Star Lane became livelier . In addition, there was a line of dancing and singing ladies who appeared on stage .
The attention of the crowd moved away from Fang Zhengzhi as people began to appreciate the music and the dances . A few continued to look at Fang Zhengzhi, but most decided to just enjoy themselves .
After all, that was what they were here for .
All through the night, the waitresses helped to refill drinks . Fang Zhengzhi's table had quite a few rounds of drinks .
Everyone was thoroughly enjoying themselves .
At that very moment, a commotion could be heard outside the Seven Star Lane . Then, a few hulking figures entered .
Each one of them wore thick rattan armor and had a piece of luxurious leather over their shoulder .
”People from the Southern Region!”
”What are they doing here? Has the Queen of the Southern Region arrived?”
”I doubt it . The Emperor would never let the Queen visit on the same day that he is hosting the banquet . This is probably just a messenger!”
”Mm, Young Master Li makes sense!”
The crowd began to guess who these people were . After all, news that the Queen was visiting the capital had spread like wildfire .
She was probably near the capital by now .
The crowd didn't pay much attention to the messengers .
It was normal for them to come to the Seven Star Lane to immerse in the Great Xia culture since they had come all this way .
However . . .
If these people were really messengers from the Southern Region, then Fang Zhengzhi was in trouble .
Just as they were thinking about it, the messengers stopped in their tracks and surveyed the room . Their eyes stopped at Fang Zhengzhi .
”Fang Zhengzhi?!”
”He's here?”
The Southern Region messengers were in disbelief when they saw Fang Zhengzhi .
The crowd saw the expressions on the faces of the messengers .
They could understand the shock . After all, Fang Zhengzhi was notorious . He had killed their Crown Prince and violated their Queen . . .
Right now . . .
That man had appeared in broad daylight . He was enjoying himself in the Seven Star Lane . The Southern Region messengers were not alone .
A few days ago, the crowd would not have believed this either .
”You have got the wrong man . He is not Fang Zhengzhi . He is Fang Zhengzheng . Chi Hou himself testified to that . Furthermore . . . ” Wen Dabao could tell that trouble was brewing and he tried to defuse the situation .
”Rubbis.h.!.+ Do you think that we are blind? Fang Zhengzhi, we will recognize you even if you are a pile of ashes! You will pay in blood tonight!” The messenger interrupted Wen Dabao .
All the others glared and drew their weapons . No one believed Wen Dabao .
