”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 mass 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, Shi 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 gods.
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 grass. 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 relationship 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.
”Bloody hell! 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.
”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?”
