Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
One had to prepare before an important event.
Fang Zhengzhi got out of bed early for once. When he got to Yan Xiu’s room, he saw Yan Xiu waiting quietly at his table.
Even though Yan Xiu was still pale, he looked much better than before. For starters, he had his usual iciness.
Yan Xiu pointed to the snacks on the table when he saw Fang Zhengzhi enter.
”Are you better?” Fang Zhengzhi took his seat and began to eat.
”Mm.” Yan Xiu nodded lightly and began eating. He had been waiting for Fang Zhengzhi for breakfast.
Fang Zhengzhi knew that Yan Xiu did not like to talk whilst eating, so he did not say anything else.
Very quickly, they finished their breakfast and began walking to the Imperial Academy.
The Imperial Academy was packed with people. Outside the perimeter was a long table.
There was nothing on the table.
However, everyone knew that this table was placed by all the betting houses in the capital. It was used to for people to pay or collect their winnings.
The arrival of Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu attracted much attention.
After all, Fang Zhengzhi’s name reverberated throughout the city after the results of the competition reached the city. From the hawkers on the street to the villagers from nearby villages knew Fang Zhengzhi’s name.
”Look, Fang Zhengzhi is here!”
”Oh my god! It’s Yan Xiu! He’s so handsome, so handsome!” Just as Fang Zhengzhi was expecting a comment on him, he heard a scream by his side.
This was clearly from a girl.
”I really don’t understand why Yan Xiu is always with Fang Zhengzhi.”
”Exactly, exactly!”
”However, when I see Fang Zhengzhi, I think that Yan Xiu is even more handsome!”
Many other voices began to overlay over the lady’s voice.
Fang Zhengzhi was slightly saddened. Am I not handsome?
He once had a dream that he would make his name in the court examinations. Then, everyone would be screaming his name.
However, he had only fulfilled half his dreams.
Yan Xiu was the center of attention.
Okay then...
As long as it is not anyone else.
Fang Zhengzhi thought to himself.
Just as he thought of it, he heard an even more intense scream by his ear. It was many times louder than the scream that greeted him and Yan Xiu.
”Oh gosh, look, it’s Wu Feng!”
”It really is Wu Feng. Wow... I have managed to see Wu Feng in person!”
”The rumors are true, Wu Feng is even more handsome than expected!”
In that instant, the voices grew. It was almost as if someone had thrown a bomb into the middle of the crowd.
Fang Zhengzhi looked in that direction.
He saw a youth walk towards them slowly.
All this while, Fang Zhengzhi had found it difficult to believe that anyone could be as handsome as Pan An. After all, he had never been complimented like that despite his looks.
However, when he saw Wu Feng, he finally understood what that meant.
He was exquisite, elegant, and flawless.
He was absolutely flawless. If Fang Zhengzhi had to add another phrase behind it to describe this man...
This man made him gay!
He was dressed in a green flowy robe. He held a green jade flute in his hand. His expression was welcoming and his smile radiant.
He was a complete opposite of Yan Xiu.
This was Wu Feng.
”Ranked fourth on the Rising Dragon Roll. Wu Feng and the Jade Flute.” Yan Xiu explained to Fang Zhengzhi.
”Jade Flute? What’s so special about it?” Fang Zhengzhi was rather curious. After all, this was the first time he had seen someone use a flute as a weapon.
”He is the disciple of the ”Clear Water Sage”. They are incredibly skilled in music, and he is rumored to be the best.” Yan Xiu explained.
”Music? Can it be used in a battle?”
”Can.”
”How?”
”Blowing into the flute.”
”Oh, I see!” Fang Zhengzhi nodded even though he did not really understand. Blow what? How?
Just as he was thinking about it, Wu Feng walked over. From his expression, he looked to be walking towards Yan Xiu and Fang Zhengzhi.
Very soon, Wu Feng stood in front of the two of them.
”Greetings, Young Master Yan!” Wu Feng bowed to Yan Xiu respectfully.
Fang Zhengzhi twitched his lips in disdain. He had seen many people greet Yan Xiu only to be ignored.
Wu Feng must be asking for it.
Just as he was thinking about it, Yan Xiu replied flatly. ”Good.”
”Oh?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yan Xiu doubtfully.
However, after Yan Xiu replied, he did not seem to want to speak.
Wu Feng did not seem to be perturbed by it, almost as if he had expected this to happen. He continued to smile affectionately.
”If my guess is correct, this must be the famous Fang Zhengzhi, Young Master Fang!” Wu Feng bowed to Fang Zhengzhi.
Fang Zhengzhi had not thought of replying. However, when he saw the jade flute, a scene flashed in his mind.
The markings on Wu Feng’s Jade Flute looked exactly the same as those on the walls of the throne room in The Vast World.
What’s going on?
Images kept flashing in Fang Zhengzhi’s mind. He would think about the wall in that throne room as well as the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet he saw.
He also remembered the ridiculous scene when he had exited The Vast World. He remembered the ancient aura and the ear shaking roars...
”Can you let me take a look at your flute?” Fang Zhengzhi decided to ask.
Everyone around Fang Zhengzhi was stunned by the question. Then, many of the talents looked at Fang Zhengzhi in disdain.
Who asks to look at someone else’s weapon during the first meet?!
”Haha... I’m afraid not!” Wu Feng chuckled, unaffected by Fang Zhengzhi’s seemingly unreasonable request.
