Chapter 206: Shame (1/2)

Chapter 206: Shame

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

The thing that Fang Zhengzhi didn’t lack the most was patience.

Control over the World of the Sage had been lost. Everybody in the World of the Sage kenw this. Hence, the people of the Imperial Academy would similarly know this. He didn’t know what was the situation at the Imperial Academy at this moment.

However, there was one thing he was sure of. The longer he dragged, the more advantageous it was for his side.

”How would you feel if I use this Blazing Qilin Spear to make an exchange with you?” A slight smile appeared at the edges of Fang Zhengzhi’s mouth. He patiently waved the Blazing Qilin Spear in his hand with a sincere expression of his face.

”Use the Blazing Qilin Spear to make an exchange with me?!” Ying Shan was slightly taken aback. Then, he became truly shocked.

He hadn’t interacted much with Fang Zhengzhi. In reality, this was the first time they had met with one another. However, he didn’t believe that Fang Zhengzhi was an idiot.

Will someone who attained the Double Roll Champion in the county and capital examinations be an idiot?

Definitely not.

Moreover, Ying Shan would definitely not be so naive as to believe that Fang Zhengzhi’s brain had suddenly failed. He could feel Fang Zhengzhi’s calm and collected demeanor. Under such dire circumstances, such a demeanor was already deserving of respect.

Then, what is Fang Zhengzhi’s intention?

Ying Shan couldn’t understand.

The surrounding examinees couldn’t understand as well. When they heard Fang Zhengzhi’s words, they were dumbfounded. Behind their confusion, there was even greater horror and worry.

They were truly afraid that Fang Zhengzhi would give the Blazing Qilin Spear to Ying Shan.

After all, Fang Zhengzhi was a person who would be impossible to read by ordinary thinking.

If the Blazing Qilin Spear was really passed into Ying Shan’s hands by Fang Zhengzhi, that would be the time that they would truly lose their last chance of survival.

The shock on Ping Yang’s face couldn’t be concealed as well.

If there was one person who seemed relatively calmer at the scene, that would be Yan Xiu.

Yan Xiu didn’t know what Fang Zhengzhi wanted to do. However, no matter whether Fang Zhengzhi’s words were true or false, he would still believe that Fang Zhengzhi had his own reason for doing this.

”Fang Zhengzhi, the Blazing Qilin Spear is mine!” Ping Yang felt like she had to remind Fang Zhengzhi of this fact.

”But, isn’t it now in my hands?” Fang Zhengzhi reminded Ping Yang as he held on to the Blazing Qilin Spear to accept the reality in front of her.

”If… you pass the Blazing Qilin Spear into the hands of the demon race, I will never forgive you.” Ping Yang evidently didn’t expect Fang Zhengzhi to say such a shameless thing.

”Between your life and the Blazing Qilin Spear, which one would you choose?”

”I want both!”

”One cannot be too naive. You always have to sacrifice one thing to gain another. I choose life, so, naturally I will have to sacrifice the Blazing Qilin Spear.” Fang Zhengzhi chided patiently.

”Hmph!” Being unable to win the argument, Ping Yang didn’t bother arguing further.

When Ying Shan heard the conversation between Ping Yang and Fang Zhengzhi, his eyes glinted with light. Even though he wasn’t keen on believing Fang Zhengzhi’s words, there was always a probability. If Fang Zhengzhi truly gave up the Blazing Qilin Spear, that would save him quite a lot of trouble.

”You are truly willing to pass the Blazing Qilin Spear to me?” Ying Shan thought for a moment, and then decided to maintain his patience for a little while longer.

”Of course.” Fang Zhengzhi seemed very sure.

”Alright, as long as you pass the Blazing Qilin Spear to me, I will spare your life!” A deep, sinister smile formed at the edges of Ying Shan’s lips.

”Make an oath.”

”An oath? Sure! I, Ying Shan, swear to the Demon God that as long as Fang Zhengzhi passes the Blazing Qilin Spear to me, I will definitely spare Fang Zhengzhi’s life!” Ying Shan hesitated for a moment, but decided to swear solemnly in the end.

After all, he only swore to spare Fang Zhengzhi’s life. He didn’t promise to not attack Fang Zhengzhi. For example, disabling him for life?

”Yes, this oath doesn’t seem too bad. However, what I want isn’t for you to spare my life, so… I believe this oath is useless.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded very seriously.

”You…” Ying Shan face fell. The smile on his face froze instantly. He felt as if he had been fooled around with.

Furthermore, him, the great Ying Domain Vice Domain Chief of the Ten Devilish Domains, was actually fooled around by this tiny kid in front of so many people of the human race?

You don’t want life. Then, what were you discussing with Ping Yang about? And why did you still ask me to make an oath?

This is shame, true shame!

The other examinees looked at one another, not knowing whether to laugh or to cry.

Call Fang Zhengzhi stupid?

But the great Vice Domain Chief of the Ten Devilish Domains seemed to have been fooled and played around with by Fang Zhengzhi.

Call Fang Zhengzhi smart?

What kind of smart person would take out the Blazing Qilin Spear, the only source of self-protection, as an item of exchange at such a time?

Ping Yang’s clear gaze shot towards Fang Zhengzhi. She really wanted to exclaim, well done! However, when the words reached the edges of her mouth, she swallowed it back. After all, Fang Zhengzhi was using her Blazing Qilin Spear to make a bet.

”Hmph, I just knew you would talk glibly!” Ping Yang huffed lightly and cocked her head to one side.

On the other hand, Yan Xiu’s expression remained calm. It was just as if everything was to be expected.

Among the people present at the scene, the person who was affected the most was Nangong Mu. He could clearly feel that Ying Shan’s emotional state had been battered greatly.

The pressure from Ying Shan’s territory had been noticeably reduced by a little.

Within the time span of a few sentences, Fang Zhengzhi was able to cause Ying Shan to almost lose control over his emotions twice, giving Nangong Mu more time and more strength. How is Fang Zhengzhi able to achieve this? Nangong Mu really couldn’t understand.

Xing Qingsui’s expression was a ghostly shade of pale. But, he strenuously continued to hold his eyes open. He felt somewhat angry, angry at himself for bringing Ying Shan into the World of the Sage. Even more, he hated himself for not holding his guard against Ying Shan.

If it wasn’t for this, how would Ying Shan’s sneak attack be a success?

Now, all he wished for was to use his life to exchange for all the mistakes he had made. However, he had already lost his qualification to do so. The only person who was qualified to do this now was Fang Zhengzhi.

”What are your terms? I will only give you one chance to speak!” Ying Shan had no way to continue negotiating with Fang Zhengzhi happily any further. Because, he felt that he might die of anger if this continued.

”My terms are very simple. I want to use the Blazing Qilin Spear to exchange for your weakness!” Fang Zhengzhi could feel Ying Shan’s rage. Thus, he couldn’t continue to fool around. It is fine to play with fire, however, no matter what, it isn’t fine to burn up oneself.

”Weakness?” Ying Shan was taken aback. He really didn’t expect Fang Zhengzhi to ask for this.

The other examinees were also taken aback.

This exchange simply couldn’t complete. Why would Ying Shan be stupid enough to tell his weakness to Fang Zhengzhi? That was evidently impossible. Then, what were the intentions of Fang Zhengzhi’s words?

”The Blazing Qilin Spear is what I use to protect my life. Your weakness is what you use to protect your life. I am using my life protection to exchange for yours. Such an exchange is only fair, don’t you think so?” Fang Zhengzhi ignored the glances coming from the surrounding people. Instead, he looked at Ying Shan calmly.

”Ha ha, what you said does makes sense.” When Ying Shan heard this, he finally laughed out. ”Then, how can you prove that the weakness I speak of is real?”

”All you have to do is to make an oath to the Demon God. Or, maybe you can let me jab at your weakness just once?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Ying Shan anticipatedly.

His intention naturally wasn’t to make an exchange.
