Chapter 73: Luck Coming to an End

What was this about?

Nobody understood why Meng Yushu would slip, then, after slipping… just happened to smash into Fang Zhengzhi’s fist.

The entire venue was silent…

Everybody stared, stunned, at Fang Zhengzhi, who was unhurriedly pulling back his fist.

Defeated?! Meng Yushu defeated? How did he get defeated?

On the judging panel, the county head wearing an official robe’s eyes turned around with shock. Staring at Fang Zhengzhi standing on the stand, and then shifting gaze to the middle-aged scholar sitting by his side.

He similarly didn’t understand what had just transpired.

On the other hand, meeting the county head’s gaze, the middle-aged scholar also shook his head. His expression was the same as the county head, in absolute disbelief.

”I see!” At this moment, Imperial Messenger Qin mumbled softly.

”What did Imperial Messenger see?” The county head turned his head towards Imperial Messenger Qin.

”Hmm, it can be said that I see, and also don’t see. County Head Wang, look there!” Imperial Messenger Qin pointed towards the right side of the stage in front of Fang Zhengzhi as he spoke.

”Stone?!” County Head Wang stared, then was suddenly taken aback. ”You say, just now he…”

”That’s right, but, whether this stone was originally on the stage, or was thrown by him onto the stage, I don’t know…” Imperial Messenger Qin looked deep in thought.

”But this doesn’t make sense! This is only the first round, the possibility of a stone appearing on top isn’t large! Furthermore, even if there really was a stone, how could he be so sure that Meng Yushu would definitely step on that stone, and, be so sure that the position Meng Yushu would fall towards, would definitely be where he placed his fist?” As the county head thought, things seemed even more impossible. But, the more impossible it seemed, the more shock he felt.

Because, this was easy to say, but to really carry this out, it was insanely hard.

”I don’t know, but he indeed did it… didn’t he?” Imperial Messenger Qin shook his head.

The county head didn’t speak further. But when he shifted his gaze back towards Fang Zhengzhi, a complicated expression appeared in his eyes. Indeed, as Imperial Messenger Qin said, no matter how it happened, Fang Zhengzhi had really managed to do it…

The gaze of the middle-aged scholar was at this moment fixated upon the small stone on the stage, then, looking at the unconscious Meng Yushu below the stage, an icy glow appeared in his eyes.

The examinees naturally overheard the conversation at the judging panel and finally noticed the ”unwelcomed guest” on the stage.

”Stone?!”

”A piece of stone?”

All of the examinees exchanged glances at one another, and were at a loss for words.

Meng Yushu tripped over a stone, then coincidentally smashed onto Fang Zhengzhi’s fist, and then… sent flying?

This was the truth?

But the truth was a little too inconceivable?!

”The first round, Fang Zhengzhi wins!” Regaining his senses, the invigilator quickly announced Fang Zhengzhi’s win.

But, below the stage, was nothing but silence. Because, none of the examinees were able to understand how something so coincidental could occur in this world.

”Coincidence?” Yan Xiu’s lips parted slightly, then, slowly shook his head. The Golden Bone Silver Thread Fan on his hands hurriedly fanned a few times, then gradually calmed down.

…

”Fang Zhengzhi, isn’t your luck a little too good?” Li Huer and Meng Jiangshan stared at Fang Zhengzhi who walked down from the stage and returned back to his seat, their eyes filled with envy.
