...
A gust of wind blew past, lifting her hair. Her long black hair danced behind her, just like the splashes of a waterfall crashing onto a rock.
Fang Zhengzhi's mouth twitched.
Defeat Chi Guyan?
Of course, he had thought about it. This had nothing to do with his promise to Chi Guyan. It was because of his pride as a man. As a man, he did not want to be stepped on by a woman forever.
The first time he saw Chi Guyan.
Fang Zhengzhi was shocked by Chi Guyan's abilities. It gave him a new understanding of this world. He thought that after eight years of hard work, he had closed the gap.
However, he saw Chi Guyan's abilities last night and today.
He could only sigh.
Damn it, did she have to be so strong?
That was too much!
However, even though she was strong, Fang Zhengzhi did not think that he would lose. In other words, he was not 100% sure that he would lose. There were many ways to defeat someone.
There were spiritual defeats, verbal defeats, and ideological defeats …
Of course, Chi Guyan was definitely asking about the difference in strength.
"If you ask me this, can I interpret it as you wanting to marry me?" Fang Zhengzhi did not answer the question directly. Instead, he countered with a question.
"Don't you want to marry me?"
"Actually, I want you to be my personal maid!" As Fang Zhengzhi spoke, he added another sentence in his heart. A personal maid who warms the bed, knows how to sing, and knows how to twist her waist.
"Personal maid?" Chi Guyan's expression froze. She was the precious daughter of the Divine Constabulary. Yet, a man wanted her to be his servant. Anyone who heard this would be furious.
However, Chi Guyan did not.
Instead, he was seriously considering this problem. Then, a faint smile appeared on his face. "Your idea is not bad, but you have to defeat me fair and square first!"
Fang Zhengzhi naturally understood the meaning behind Chi Guyan's words. She had purposely emphasized the word 'fair and aboveboard'. Her intention was clear.
What was fair and square?
He wanted to suppress them in terms of strength, in terms of moves, and in terms of realm …
Most importantly, he was not allowed to use any unorthodox methods. Moreover, they couldn't rely on weapons or treasures. This was a purely heroic duel.
It was obvious that this was not suitable for him.
"If I can defeat you fair and square, will you be my personal maid?" Fang Zhengzhi felt that he had to confirm the stakes of the bet.
"A personal maid for a month," Chi Guyan replied.
"Do you dare to make an oath?"
"Not only do I dare to swear an oath, but I also dare to do so. I dare to announce it to the world! "
Fang Zhengzhi finally opened his eyes at this moment. The precious daughter of the Divine Constabulary, a princess, a daughter of the heavens, the Double Dragon Roll Champion of the Heavenly Prophecy, the future Marshal of the Great Xia Dynasty, becoming his personal maid for a month...
"Other than serving tea and pouring water, you also have to follow orders obediently. Do you know how to sing and dance?" Fang Zhengzhi asked provocatively.
"I will." Chi Guyan nodded seriously.
"Alright. Deal! "
"Hehe, you're dreaming. What if you lose?"
"What do you want?"
"I want you to be my valet for a month. When I sit, you have to stand. When I lie down, you have to stand. When I sleep, you have to stand outside the door!" Chi Guyan looked at Fang Zhengzhi with a provocative look.
Fang Zhengzhi looked at Chi Guyan, who was standing beside him, and he suddenly understood. Why did Chi Guyan emphasize the word "stand"?
Isn't it just standing?
I'll bear with it!
"Fine!" Fang Zhengzhi gritted his teeth.
"Furthermore, you have to tell me jokes, recite poems, and make me laugh. If I don't laugh one day, you have to receive 50 floggings and repent in front of my door! "Chi Guyan added.
"Do you have to go so far?"
"Are you afraid?"
"Me? Afraid? What a joke! " Fang Zhengzhi chuckled icily. Then, he stood up from his chair, "A small bet is good for the mood, but a big bet is bad for the body. I have no interest in such boring bets! "
"Don't you want to reconsider? Other than singing and dancing, I also know how to play the zither, beat the drums, flirt, and guess riddles. Don't forget, my father is a military officer. I grew up in the army, and I know the hobbies of the soldiers very well! "Chi Guyan winked at Fang Zhengzhi as she spoke.
Her expression was practically telling Fang Zhengzhi to come at me if you can!
F * ck!
Just as Fang Zhengzhi was about to step out, he immediately retracted his foot.
He had forgotten that this girl was from a military family. She had seen the boldness of soldiers since she was young. She was not like those ladies who only knew how to thread needles and embroider.
Guqin, drum beat, flirt...
Uh.
Fang Zhengzhi felt like he could not control his thoughts. All men knew these things, but women knew them! Moreover, she was such a peerless and beautiful woman. Understand?
For the first time, Fang Zhengzhi felt like his willpower was being challenged.
However...
Fang Zhengzhi tolerated it.
After all, this was Chi Guyan. She was the most talented woman in the world. Interacting with Chi Guyan was like a small boat in a storm. He could be swallowed at any moment.
"If you can promise me one thing, I will consider this bet." Fang Zhengzhi's expression turned serious.
"Tell me about it."
"Give me 50 teachers like Wang Anhua."
"You don't want to open a horse farm?"
"Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. If the Northern Mountain Village does not want to be bullied, we have to start from the roots. Shang Su's skills can enrich the village, but they cannot strengthen it."
"Okay, I will bring 50 of the best teachers from the five capitals and ten colleges to teach here for three years. If they want to stay, they can. If not, I will arrange for other teachers."
"Will you be able to participate in the court examinations?" Fang Zhengzhi nodded when he heard this.
"I passed the court examinations two years ago, so naturally, I can't participate anymore. However, those who passed the court examinations have the right to participate in the 'Heaven Dao Pavilion' disciple selection. I will wait for you in the Heaven Dao Pavilion and accept your challenge! However... Are you sure you want to challenge me so soon? "Chi Guyan knew what Fang Zhengzhi was getting at.
"Since there will be a battle, it makes no difference if we fight earlier or later. I am improving, and so are you. However, I have a question. Why do I want to go to the Heaven Dao Pavilion? "
"Don't you want to be a bystander? As long as you become a disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion. It was equivalent to receiving orders from the Heavenly Dao, and the laws of the dynasty could no longer restrict you!
"Other than that?"
"The imperial court talks about politics, power and benefits. Only the Heaven Dao Pavilion is the place closest to the 'Dao'! You will be able to obtain more resources there than in the courts. "
"How many disciples does the Heaven Dao Pavilion accept every year?" Fang Zhengzhi nodded. One pavilion, four sages, 13 constabularies. These were the symbols of power in the Great Xia Dynasty.
The Heaven Dao Pavilion reigned supreme over all the other powers.
It was an existence that was truly on an equal footing with the Great Xia Dynasty, even in the hearts of cultivators. The Heaven Dao Pavilion was even more attractive than the courts of the Great Xia Dynasty.
However, a place with so many resources was not a place that anyone could enter.
"Not every year, but every two years. Every two years, three disciples will be recruited from all over the world. When the time comes, the Northern Barbarians and the Southern Mountain Range will also send people to participate. The Heaven Dao Pavilion and the Great Xia Dynasty have an agreement. No matter what happens, they will at least be given a quota."
"Three?!" Fang Zhengzhi knew that it would be difficult to enter the Heaven Dao Pavilion, but he did not expect it to be this difficult.
Only three disciples in two years?
How many disciples could there be in the Heaven Dao Pavilion?
"Are you trying to say that the Heaven Dao Pavilion is so strict? Will there be no one to take over? "Chi Guyan looked at Fang Zhengzhi's expression and could guess what he was thinking.
"I prefer to say that there will be no more descendants." Fang Zhengzhi did not deny it.
"Haha, you don't have to worry about that. The Heaven Dao Pavilion has a tradition. We follow the Heavenly Dao, and there are three thousand great Daos. In the Heaven Dao Pavilion, there will always be three thousand disciples. "
"3000 disciples?" Fang Zhengzhi could not understand.
He had only taken in three disciples in two years, and now he had three thousand disciples …
That was not logical!
"As for why there are 3000 disciples, you will understand once you enter the Heaven Dao Pavilion. You should think about how to pass the court examinations first! "
"Is the court examinations very difficult?"
"If the imperial examinations are like thousands of carps crossing the river, then the court examinations are like a hundred schools of thought!" Chi Guyan said casually.
"What do you mean?"
"Normally, one can become an official after passing the imperial examinations. Then, one's achievements depend on one's contributions to the court. However, the court examinations are different. The court examinations are the final examination of the Law of Dao. Furthermore, there is a strict limit to the number of candidates. Only nine will make it. Furthermore, there is no top three."
"No top three?"
"There is no top three. The first in the court examinations will be called the 'champion'."
"Champion?" Of course, Fang Zhengzhi knew the meaning behind the combination of these two words. "Kui" and "Shou" both had the meaning of "being first".
The word "chief", which was formed from the words "chief" and "chief", referred to the leader and the person who held the chief position. It was also used to refer to the person who was the most talented among his peers.
"Yes, champion is a special title given to the first in the court examinations. Everyone prefers to call the first in the court examinations the 'top talent in the world'!" Chi Guyan said calmly.
"Top talent in the world?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Chi Guyan and asked casually, "Does that mean you are also the top talent in the world?"
"Yes, but why don't you describe me as a talented woman?"
"There are no Supernatural State cultivators in the court examinations?"
"Not necessarily. In my generation, there were two in the Supernatural State."
"Two in the Supernatural State? Then why didn't they pass the previous court examinations? "
"The Great Xia Dynasty uses the" Law of Dao "as the foundation for cultivation, and there are many people who gain enlightenment in one day. Many things can happen in two years' time. For example, before you participated in the Law of Dao examinations, who would have thought that you would be able to attain the double roll champion of the county and capital examinations?"
Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
The path of cultivation was full of possibilities. Two years ago, he was in the Heavenly Reflection State. Who could be sure that he would not break through to the Supernatural State in two years?
"I understand."
"Actually, the Heavenly Reflection State might not lose to the Supernatural State. The difference in states is huge. However, if one reaches the peak of a state, it is possible to overcome this gap."
"For example, you?"
"There is another person besides me!"
"Who?"
Chi Guyan did not answer Fang Zhengzhi immediately. A name suddenly rang out in her mind.
A name that resounded throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
Nangong Hao!
Four years ago, Nangong Hao participated in the Law of Dao examinations and topped the imperial examinations. He became the center of attention and was hailed as the most talented person in the world.
Even the Heaven Dao Pavilion extended an olive branch to him. If Nangong Hao could pass the court examinations and enter the Heaven Dao Pavilion, they would definitely invite him into the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
However, he unexpectedly gave up on the court examinations and the Heaven Dao Pavilion's disciple selection, choosing to return to the Nangong Nobles to train.
This decision caused an uproar that year.
A Heavenly Reflection State cultivator who could fight against a Supernatural State cultivator. If he said that his foundation was not stable, then who else had a stable foundation?
No one knew what he was thinking.
No one knew why he would give up such a heaven-sent opportunity.
Two years ago, when the Law of Dao examinations began, everyone thought that Nangong Hao would emerge as the champion and enter the Heaven Dao Pavilion. However, Nangong Mu was the one who came.
In the end, Nangong Mu gave up on the imperial examinations and returned to the Nangong Nobles.
This time, no one was surprised.
Because, the genius Chi Guyan appeared out of nowhere, and with a domineering attitude, she looked down on all the other talents, and finally won the title of champion, and successfully entered the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
A year later, she challenged Nangong Hao.
She became the Double Dragon Champion, the most talented person in the world.
As such, Nangong Hao's name was forgotten by the world. Everyone in the Great Xia Dynasty was talking about Chi Guyan, the one who inherited the will of the Heavenly Prophecy.
However...
Chi Guyan knew one thing.
The Heaven Dao Pavilion had an age limit when it came to recruiting disciples. If Nangong Hao wanted to enter the Heaven Dao Pavilion, this court examinations would be his last chance.
As such...
Nangong Hao would definitely appear in this court examinations.
"I think you will see him soon. He will be participating in the Court Examinations as well!" Chi Guyan did not say anything else. She sat down beside Fang Zhengzhi.
Fang Zhengzhi smelled the faint fragrance coming from beside him. Then, he suddenly thought of something, "15,000 silvers a night, you're not lying right?"
Chi Guyan's body twitched.
"Guess!"
Fang Zhengzhi's expression changed. Guess my ass. I am well educated, don't you dare lie to me. If you dare to lie to me, I will not even let you be my maid!
"If I tell you a way to make you stronger, would you still want the silvers?" Chi Guyan asked.
