Fang Zhengzhi did not regret his decision. Even without the mocking from the crowd, he would have made the same decision without hesitation.
However …
He thought about the one million silvers.
The corners of his mouth curled up, but he still subconsciously curled down. It was a kind of uncontrollable sourness, as if his entire body had been completely hollowed out.
Silvers, so much silvers. A mountain of silvers.
"You can let down anyone in the world, but you?" Ping Yang was taken aback. She did not expect Fang Zhengzhi's reply to be like this. However, she quickly burst into laughter. She laughed so hard that her body trembled. "I didn't expect a shameless person like you to be grateful for what I did for you."
"Grateful for what you have done for me?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Ping Yang, who was smiling happily. His expression froze. He felt that something was amiss.
It can't be?
How could he misunderstand something like that? Just how confident was this girl?
Fang Zhengzhi felt like he should explain himself. However, he felt that it was unnecessary. He couldn't possibly say that he made this decision because of Yan Xiu and not Ping Yang!
Even if he didn't want to hurt Ping Yang, the impact of that statement would be unimaginable.
After all, that would be admitting that he was related to the Seven Star Lane. Even though he didn't deny that he was related to the Seven Star Lane …
Honestly speaking, it wasn't related to him.
However, he was more or less surprised that Ping Yang had the courage to bet on the gathering of the Big Dipper before confirming the facts.
It looked like …
It had been a year since he last saw Ping Yang. Apart from her body, her intelligence had improved as well. Had she really grown up?
As for silver, Yan Xiu's 450,000 taels of silver aside, Ping Yang's 450,000 taels of silver was something that he had to find an opportunity to get back.
He had to get them back!
Wen Dabao lay on the ground, looking at the smiling Ping Yang, then at the slightly frozen Fang Zhengzhi. His heart was filled with bewilderment.
He didn't understand what Fang Zhengzhi had to do with what Ping Yang said about the Seven Star Lane's generosity. More importantly, where did gratitude come from?
Ninth Prince Lin Yun squinted. He looked at Fang Zhengzhi, then at Ping Yang, who was smiling brightly. He was slightly taken aback.
Yan Xiu's expression remained calm. However, as Fang Zhengzhi spoke, his fingers trembled slightly.
This was a very small movement, and no one noticed it.
As for the surrounding aristocratic young masters …
They looked at each other with a complicated expression on their faces. They were all confused and confused because they did not understand what Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang were talking about.
"What kind of quote did this guy just say?"
"Famous quote? Never heard of it! "
"I've never heard of it either. Could it be that he's overly excited because he's earned money, so he's starting to talk nonsense?"
"It's possible. I guess he has never seen so much silver before."
None of the young masters understood what Fang Zhengzhi was saying. Naturally, they thought that Fang Zhengzhi was spouting nonsense after getting rich overnight.
However, they were speechless at Fang Zhengzhi's unbelievable luck.
How did he manage to bet on the gathering of all seven stars?
That was unbelievable!
All of the young masters looked at Fang Zhengzhi, Ping Yang, and Yan Xiu with envy and jealousy. However, that was all there was to it.
The atmosphere in the Seven Star Lane heated up once more. A group of women in white dresses appeared on the stage in the main hall. The music continued to play and they danced to celebrate the peace in the Seven Star Lane.
The young masters' gazes slowly shifted away from Fang Zhengzhi. They began to enjoy the dance on stage. Other than a few people who kept glancing at Fang Zhengzhi, most of them had already returned their attention to the Seven Star Lane.
After all, they were here to enjoy themselves.
As the night grew darker, the waitresses began to serve the young masters more wine. Even Fang Zhengzhi's table had a few new jugs of wine.
The atmosphere became more and more lively.
At that moment, there was a commotion outside the Seven Star Lane. Then, a few burly figures walked into the Seven Star Lane.
All of them were dressed in thick rattan armor and had expensive beast skins draped over their shoulders.
"It's the Southern Region!"
"Why are they here? Is the King of the Southern Region already in the capital? "
"I don't think so. The Emperor wouldn't arrange for the King of the Southern Region to arrive on the same day as the Banquet of the Thousand Elderly. They must be messengers from the King of the Southern Region!"
"Mm, Young Master Li is right!"
All of the young masters guessed when they saw the figures walk in. After all, news of the King of the Southern Region's arrival had already reached the capital.
They calculated the time and realized that it was about the same time.
The young masters didn't think too much about the arrival of the Southern Region messengers.
It was normal for the messenger from the Southern Region to come to the Seven Star Lane to experience the music of the Great Xia Dynasty after arriving in the capital city.
However …
If these people were really messengers from the Southern Region, Fang Zhengzhi would be in trouble.
Just as he was thinking about this, the few Southern Region messengers stopped in their tracks. Their eyes scanned the hall and finally landed on Fang Zhengzhi.
"Fang Zhengzhi?!"
"What is he doing here?"
The Southern Region messengers were shocked when they saw Fang Zhengzhi. It was almost as if they had seen something unbelievable.
This kind of expression naturally fell into the eyes of the surrounding young masters of the aristocratic families.
They could understand why the Southern Region messengers were shocked. After all, Fang Zhengzhi was too famous. He had killed the Crown Prince of the Southern Region, taken advantage of the Princess of the Southern Region, and was the current King of the Southern Region.
And the most important thing was …
How could someone like him be in the capital, enjoying the music and dancing in the Seven Star Lane? The Southern Region messengers couldn't believe it.
If it was a few days ago, none of the aristocratic young masters present would have believed it either.
"You've got the wrong person. He is not the Fang Zhengzhi you are looking for. He is Fang Zhengzheng. Chi Hou has verified this, and …" Wen Dabao cursed under his breath when he saw the expression on the Southern Region messengers' faces. He scrambled to his feet and tried to explain himself.
"Bullsh * t! Fang Zhengzheng? Do you think we are blind? Fang Zhengzhi, we will recognize you even if you turn to dust! We will avenge the Crown Prince today! "One of the Southern Region messengers interrupted Wen Dabao.
Behind him, the envoys from the Southern Region glared at him and drew their weapons. None of them believed Wen Dabao's words.
"Is something going to happen?"
"The King of the Southern Region is about to enter the capital. If the messenger gets hurt, it will be a huge problem!"
"This fella is too arrogant. He knows that the King of the Southern Region is about to enter the capital, yet he still dares to come to the capital. Why would the Southern Region care about Chi Hou's verification?"
When the young masters saw this scene, they could not help but sigh in their hearts. However, they would not interfere in this matter.
There was a saying, "If it doesn't concern you, then don't worry about it. Furthermore, this matter was related to the Southern Mountain Range. The young masters of the aristocratic families naturally didn't want to cause trouble.
"This is the capital, there are laws. Do you want to fight here? Aren't you afraid that the King of the Southern Region will punish you? "Wen Dabao did not retreat this time. He stood in front of them.
They were just a few Southern Region messengers?
What was there to be afraid of?
"How about it? Do you want me to kill them for you?" Ping Yang glanced at the enraged Southern Region messengers and curled her lips in disdain.
"Sure." Fang Zhengzhi nodded. Ping Yang had earned quite a lot of money with him. If he did not let her do something now, when would he?
"Hahaha … I am here. Don't worry. Wen Dabao, get out of my way!" Ping Yang chuckled when she heard this. Then, she waved her hand and the Blazing Qilin Spear appeared in her hand.
Her fiery red dress danced in the wind.
From her aura alone, she did not seem to be inferior to any man. Most importantly, her high and mighty attitude made Fang Zhengzhi feel that she was very powerful.
"Yes! Your Highness! "When Wen Dabao heard this, he immediately ran to the back.
"Sister, they are messengers from the Southern Region, we have to …" Ninth Prince Lin Yun's expression changed when he saw the Blazing Qilin Spear in Ping Yang's hand. He wanted to stop her, but it was too late.
Because …
The Blazing Qilin Spear was already in motion.
A spear pierced through the air.
The flames rushed forward like a huge wave, burning the air and making sizzling sounds. Whether it was in terms of momentum or range, it was much larger than a year ago.
The eyes of the Southern Region envoys flashed with astonishment.
They clearly didn't expect that the other party would make a move before they could even make a move. However, they quickly reacted.
Then, a ray of blue light slashed the wave. It was so cold that it split the wave in half. A white mist rose into the air as the flames dwindled.
This scene immediately made the surrounding young masters of the aristocratic families a little surprised.
A Southern Region messenger could block Princess Ping Yang's spear? This surprised them. After all, Ping Yang wasn't weak at all.
Ping Yang's eyes were also filled with astonishment.
She had been working very hard over the past year, and she had made great progress in her cultivation. She had wanted to show it off to the world …
She did not expect to be stopped by a mere Southern Region messenger.
"What's going on? How dare a mere messenger be stronger than me? Are you kidding me?! "Ping Yang was very unhappy, and was quite unconvinced. He was about to attack again.
A voice rang out.
"This is the Flame Capital City. Ignore everyone else. Take down Fang Zhengzhi!"
Just as the voice rang out, two figures dashed past Ping Yang and charged towards Fang Zhengzhi. They were in front of Fang Zhengzhi in the blink of an eye.
"So fast!"
"Are all the Southern Region messengers so strong?"
"Are they really just normal Southern Region messengers?"
The spectators were shocked when they saw the other two figures dash past Ping Yang. It was not surprising for a messenger to be strong.
However …
It was a little ridiculous for all the messengers to be so strong.
That was what they thought, but it was just a thought. Doubt was not enough for them to attack. Of course, the most important reason was that they were not powerful enough.
The abilities of these Southern Region messengers had far exceeded their expectations. They were at least of the Supernatural State, perhaps even higher.
Fang Zhengzhi smirked as he looked at the two figures charging towards him.
Southern Region messengers?
That was a good choice. Furthermore, they had put in a lot of effort in terms of timing and attire.
However, they could not hide their powers.
Fang Zhengzhi rapped his fingers on the table. He did not move. The person beside him had already moved.
A ray of red light shot out from the ground. It was as red as blood. It was not very bright, but it was filled with a chilling aura.
A piercing sound rang out in the air.
The voice seemed to be rising from the ground.
The music in the Seven Star Lane stopped. The two Southern Region messengers froze in their tracks.
It was a change from extreme speed to extreme stillness. It was as if a wall had suddenly appeared in front of them, a wall that they could not cross.
The two Southern Region messengers slowly lowered their heads and looked at the soles of their feet. Then, their eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
This was because each of them was stepping on a whirlpool, a red whirlpool that was spinning rapidly. It was like a hand that stretched out from hell, firmly holding their feet in place.
"I see!" The two Southern Region messengers looked at each other. Then, they looked at Yan Xiu, their expressions solemn.
"It's the Dao of Asura!"
"It's only been a year and Yan Xiu's Dao of Asura has reached such a level? He can control it so well! He no longer looks like he was in pain a year ago! "
"That's amazing! Did Yan Xiu break through to the Supernatural State?"
"That's possible!"
When the young masters of the aristocratic families saw the red light rising from the ground, they subconsciously took a step back. Their eyes were filled with shock.
Ever since Yan Xiu left the capital a year ago, he had been in Western Liang. He had not set foot in the capital since then.
But now …
He had reached such a terrifying level.
How could these spectators not be shocked? After all, it had only been a year! Wasn't his rate of improvement a little too ridiculous?
Just as they were thinking about this, the red light shuddered. Then, the two whirlpools around the Southern Region messengers seemed to be dispelled by something.
They disappeared in an instant.
Yan Xiu's expression suddenly changed.
