551 Unbearable Passion (1/2)
As for the figure on the left, it was Nangong Mu. He was wearing an ordinary shirt and had an expression as calm as the still lake water.
”So Nangong Mu is already in the capital?” The courtiers were slightly surprised when they saw Nangong Mu. However, it was not something that was too shocking.
After all, Nangong Mu intended to take part in this Court Examination to begin with.
However…
It was a surprise for Nangong Mu to appear together with Ping Yang and Yan Xiu.
The Crown Prince Lin Tianrong was not exactly in a good mood. It was the first time he was publicly reprimanded by the Majesty Lin Mubai after all.
When he heard that Ping Yang had arrived, he subconsciously lifted his head to take a look. The moment he tried to speak, a cold presence flashed through his eyes.
This was because he saw Yan Xiu as well as Nangong Mu.
However…
He did not see Fang Zhengzhi!
Was he asleep? That's why he was absent?
Crown Prince Lin Tianrong naturally would not think so. After all, everyone knew that Fang Zhengzhi had stayed in Ping Yang Residence the entire time. Furthermore, judging from his personality, it was impossible for him to miss out on such a big occasion at the Crown Prince Residence.
”Yan Xiu had arrived but Fang Zhengzhi is nowhere to be seen. Don't tell me…” A thought flashed across Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's mind. Something that he would not, and could not think of.
Under thirty-five years old and…
Able to fight against three Rebirth State personnel on equal footing.
Furthermore, he was situated in Flame Capital City.
It was difficult to find someone who fit these criteria in Flame Capital City. The Imperial Concubine Hua Fei was one of them. However, there was another person, who had always been left out of the picture.
This person was not of noble descent. However, he had once had great exploits in the battle of the Southern Mountain Range. He was the biggest hero and key architect of the Southern Mountain Range victory in the battle.
Most importantly,
This person had once fought with the Demon clan's half sage Can Yang.
Fang Zhengzhi.
A person whom everyone had long thought became a cripple.
He would then naturally be ignored. In fact, he would not even appear in their thoughts. Who would have thought that a cripple like Fang Zhengzhi would enter the Crown Prince Residence, fight against three Rebirth State individuals and leave like nothing had happened?
But what if…
What If he was not a cripple?
In an instant, Lin Tianrong felt a shiver down his spine. If this was indeed the truth, then the result would be so disastrous, it would be unacceptable.
In the battle of the Southern Mountain Range, Fang Zhengzhi did not become a cripple!
Furthermore, in just over a year's time, he had grown strong enough to fight three powerful Rebirth State individuals. For a person who had just attained the Supernatural State to have grown strong enough to fight three Rebirth State individuals in a year was almost impossible.
However, if this person was Fang Zhengzhi….
It would be highly possible.
This was because Fang Zhengzhi had once grown from the Star Conglomerate State to the Heavenly Reflection State, then to the Supernatural State in a few months' time. He had even fought against the half sage Can Yang.
This was a terrifying potential and a horrifying sinister ability.
All of these pointed towards Fang Zhengzhi.
Apart from this, Fang Zhengzhi still had not reached eighteen years old. If this thing becomes a reality, then it would point to another issue.
The Double Roll Champion that would shock and bring peace to the world!
Lin Tianrong felt his body tremble. This was a heavenly prophecy. Even if he was the Crown Prince, he had to respect this divine message. Even his father, the Majesty had to do so.
Once Fang Zhengzhi was recognized as the Chosen One, the consequences were clear.
Crown Prince Lin Tianrong thought about this first and foremost.
The other Courtiers who were beside Your Majesty Lin Mubai had also thought of the same thing. This was because Ping Yang, Yan Xiu and Nangong Mu were all present, with the exception of one person, Fang Zhengzhi!
A person who should have been beside Ping Yang.
”Fang Zhengzhi, is it possible that the person who will arrive at the Crown Prince Residence today is… Fang Zhengzhi?”
”That is not possible, wasn't he already crippled in the battle of the Southern Mountain Range? Unless he didn't…”
”If that is the case, I'm afraid…”
The Courtiers looked at one another and seemed to be thinking about the same thing. The moment this thought appeared in their minds, a sentence that Fang Zhengzhi said not long ago flashed across their minds.
”I am going to take part in the examination held in the Heaven Dao Pavilion!”
At that time, all of the courtiers looked at Fang Zhengzhi with a condescending look. How could a cripple even think about entering the examination?
Was it possible?
No one thought that Fang Zhengzhi had a chance of passing the examination.
However, if Fang Zhengzhi was not crippled by the battle, then the odds would be totally different. He not only had a chance to pass it, there was a high chance that he would ace the examination!
Just as the Crown Prince and the courtiers were horrified by their thoughts, Ping Yang, Yan Xiu and the rest had arrived in front of Your Majesty Lin Mubai.
”Your Majesty, what is happening?” Ping Yang stared at Lin Mubai with a curious expression. At the same time, he glanced at Crown Prince Lin Tianrong, who was currently kneeling on the ground.
”Why are you here so late in the night? You drank as well... aren't you afraid that you will catch a cold?” The moment Lin Mubai saw Ping Yang, his expression became gentle and was filled with love and compassion.
”I wouldn't!” Ping Yang said proudly.
”Yea… where is Young Master Fang? He didn't come together with you?” Lin Mubai's expression did not change, as though he had just asked a casual question.
However, all the courtiers understood.
Your Majesty Lin Mubai would never ask a question simply for casual purposes.
This was because as a Majesty, when nothing peculiar was happening, there was no reason for him to ask about the whereabouts of a Third Rank official. The possibility that he would ask why Ping Yang did not arrive with Fang Zhengzhi was then even lower.
But he did.
This meant that Your Majesty Lin Mubai was having the exact same thoughts as the courtiers.
”You mean that shameless guy? I, the princess was just about to…”
”Your Majesty is looking for me?”
Just as Ping Yang was talking, a voice sounded from afar. Following which, two figures walked towards them.
The first person was clad in a blue long coat and had a faint smile on his face.
Behind him was a terrified young man. He looked timid and his eyes darted around the whole time.
It was Fang Zhengzhi and Wen Dabao.
”Fang Zhengzhi!” The courtiers stared at the figure from afar and exchanged glances. All of them saw shock and terror from each other's eyes.
