Chapter 190: Taking a risk

...

Fang Zhengzhi, Ping Yang, and Yan Xiu quickly reached an agreement, stunning all the other candidates.

What’s going on?

They were such bullies.

They were treating them like lambs. If they couldn’t make it across they would simply push them off. Could they be any more shameless?

Each of the candidates looked at each other.

They hoped that someone would protest this and chide them for being so shameless, kicking the three of them out in the process.

But who would step up?

Nangong Mu had no interest in interfering, and Xing Qingsui did not want any trouble right now.

Su Donglin’s example was clear for all to see.

1v1?

Right now, that was impossible. Any fight would be a 3v1. The only thing they could do was wait.

Nangong Mu and Xing Qingsui were both waiting.

The other Heavenly Reflection State candidates would not push their luck either. Ping Yang would not lock onto them. The reason was simple. She was looking for lambs, the weaker the better.

As such, they couldn’t be less bothered.

This was the combat examinations, and not the time to let emotion rule their actions. Furthermore, everyone wanted to see how Fang Zhengzhi would be after crossing the bridge.

All of the Star Conglomerate candidates looked at each other in exasperation and helplessness.

Ping Yang looked at them and smiled radiantly, almost like a Blue Fire Wolf looking at its prey.

Other than those who were in the Heavenly Reflection Realm, all of the others began to look for places to hide themselves. However, the area was small and unblocked. Where could they possibly hide?

This scene looked quite strange. A bunch of people manically trying to hide. This was a stark difference from the confidence they had when they entered the World of the Sage.

Ping Yang’s abilities could be seen from how she caught people.

”You, exactly, you! Come over! You dare to not come? When we get out of here, I will go raid your home!”

”Ah?! Your highness, mercy please...”

After a string of threats, three poor souls had been captured by Ping Yang. The three of them looked extremely bitter.

All of the candidates who had been let off heaved a sigh of relief. They would live to see another day.

”Let us go. We just want to participate in the examination!”

”Exactly your highness. You all can continue crossing the bridge, but we are innocent...”

”Your highness, I have an eighty year old mother. My wife left me very long ago. I am the only one left to feed my mother. The examination is my only hope. Your highness, please leave my family with this sliver of hope.”

The three poor souls pleaded with Ping Yang. One of them was even on the verge of tears.

”Shut up. You still have mouths to feed? I have heard that so many times. Based on your abilities, you all have no chance of passing the examinations. Stop struggling. If you’re obedient, I will give you 500 taels of silver each right now!” Ping Yang produced three cheques with a wave of her hand.

he did not even blink.

”Thank you your highness!” The three poor souls immediately said their thanks.

Just as Ping Yang said, they did not have much of a chance to pass the combat examinations. Not getting knocked out in the first round would be a good result for them.

Now that they were each given 500 taels of silver, they considered themselves lucky.

After they said their thanks, the three poor souls wanted to take their cheques.

However, when they raised their heads, the cheques were gone from Ping Yang’s hand. They had changed hands and were now held by Fang Zhengzhi.

”Don’t show off your wealth. Don’t you know that? Damn it, let me help you safekeep it.” Fang Zhengzhi said sincerely and kept the cheques.

Ping Yang was stunned, but Yan Xiu was calm.

As for the three poor souls, they looked at their silver disappear. This guy was such a bully. Not only was he taking them as disposable, he even took away their silver.

”Actually, you all should thank me.” Fang Zhengzhi began to console the three of them.

”Thank you?!” The three of them looked at each other, unsure of what Fang Zhengzhi was saying.
