"Kong Qing pays his respects to Third Elder and Fifth Elder!" Fang Zhengzhi did not dare to be negligent at this moment, and immediately imitated the three Heaven Dao disciples and bowed.
As for who was the Third Elder and who was the Fifth Elder, he naturally had to act like he knew everything.
"Hmm, Kong Qing, what's going on?" A slightly skinny elder pointed at Sima Feng after hearing Fang Zhengzhi's words.
"This …" Fang Zhengzhi seemed hesitant.
As for why he hesitated, it was because he could not answer the question of the skinny elder in front of him. After all, if he chose to answer, he would need to know the other party's identity.
For example, the first thing he would say was "replying to Third Elder", or "replying to Fifth Elder".
But he did not know.
This was the time to test his acting skills.
If he did not speak up, someone else would naturally speak up for him.
The three Heaven Dao disciples looked at each other, and seeing Fang Zhengzhi's hesitant expression, they finally gritted their teeth and stood out.
"Replying to Third Elder, this person did not respect the Heaven Dao Pavilion, and did not respect Senior Kong Qing. Furthermore, he purposely stirred up trouble, and accused Senior Kong Qing of being an imposter. Furthermore, he took the initiative to pick a fight, and Senior Kong Qing had no choice but to attack him!" A Heaven Dao disciple took the initiative to speak up.
"That's right, the three of us can vouch for Senior Kong Qing!" The other two Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples quickly chimed in.
"Senior Kong Qing indeed had no choice but to attack!"
"We can also testify for Senior Kong Qing!"
"Senior Kong Qing not only has a high state of mind, his strength is also admirable. But this Sima Feng was too weak, he could not even withstand a single blow from Senior Kong Qing, which led to his current situation!"
The few Heaven Dao Pavilion participants who stood out immediately spoke up to testify for Fang Zhengzhi after witnessing this scene.
"A high state of mind? He could not even withstand a single blow? "The slightly skinny Third Elder was slightly surprised after hearing the words of the participants." Sima Feng? If I remember correctly, he should be from the Holy Barbarian Empire's Sima Family right? "
"Yes, Third Elder! Even though Sima Feng was in the middle phase of the Rebirth State, his defence was full of loopholes. Senior Kong Qing didn't use any tricks, but defeated him in a fair and square strike! "The three Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples immediately replied.
"I see. Is he dead?" Third Elder nodded.
"Senior Kong Qing was merciful, he didn't kill him." The three Heaven Dao disciples replied.
"En, then throw it out." The Third Elder waved his hand casually.
"Yes!" When the three Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples heard this, they immediately walked in front of Sima Feng, lifted him up and threw him far away.
The candidates who witnessed this scene were speechless.
Originally, when they heard the Third Elder asking about Sheng, they were still guessing whether the Third Elder would blame Kong Qing for being too heavy-handed.
But now …
It did not seem to be the case.
Indeed, in front of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, the title of the world's number one assassin clan was useless.
Qian Wu's expression was extremely ugly. He did not care about the Heaven Dao Pavilion's attitude towards Sima Feng. What he cared about was whether the Heaven Dao Pavilion would be angry at him because of Sima Feng.
However, the Third Elder did not look at him for long, but looked at Fang Zhengzhi again, with a look of admiration on his face.
"Kong Qing, it has been almost a year since the last time I sparred with you, right? It seems that you did not slack off in this one year! "The Third Elder's face was filled with an amiable smile.
Fang Zhengzhi immediately bowed and was about to say that it was the Third Elder's guidance. However, when he saw the Third Elder's smiling expression, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He had noticed the expressions of the three Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples when they saw the Third Elder and the Fifth Elder coming down. They were somewhat nervous and panicky.
That meant …
In the Heaven Dao Pavilion, the differentiation of social status should be extremely strict.
Hence, the Third Elder showing such an amiable smile to him was obviously not right. After all, he was not his illegitimate son.
Furthermore, the Third Elder and the Fifth Elder coming down at this time was obviously not a passerby. Hence, it could only be said that they came intentionally.
Was it a test?
Almost a year ago?
This was a place that was easily overlooked, and it was often at this place that a person in disguise would be exposed.
But what was puzzling was that Fang Zhengzhi did not know whether the Third Elder was speaking the truth or not.
If it was true, then once he tried to explain himself, it would be equivalent to walking into a trap. But if it was fake, then the same logic would be used to expose him.
What should he do?
There was no other way, he could only gamble.
"Kong Qing's talent is mediocre, it was mainly because of the Third Elder's guidance, but … Did the Third Elder remember the wrong time to guide Kong Qing?" Fang Zhengzhi gambled that the Third Elder was testing him.
After all, the fact that the Third Elder and the Fifth Elder could come down from the Heaven Dao Pavilion showed that something was wrong. Furthermore, the three Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples had unintentionally mentioned that Sima Feng was suspicious of his identity.
But, the Third Elder did not pursue this question. Hence, Fang Zhengzhi was at least 70% sure that the Third Elder had his suspicions.
But …
He didn't know when the Third Elder had given Kong Qing pointers, so he could only throw the question back to the Third Elder.
"Remembered the wrong time? Oh, yes, yes, you're right, I've indeed remembered wrongly. Three months ago, at the empty space in front of my study room, I think I exchanged a few blows with you. "When the Third Elder heard this, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, then, he quickly reacted.
Fang Zhengzhi subconsciously pointed his middle finger at the Third Elder.
Indeed, the Heaven Dao Pavilion was full of sly old foxes, if he was not careful, he could easily fall into a ditch.
Wait a minute!
There seemed to be a trap in this sentence.
The empty space in front of the study room?
Normally, the Third Elder would only need to correct the time. However, he purposely revealed the location as well.
Something was wrong!
"In reply to the Third Elder, the time was indeed three months ago, but, the location didn't seem to be in front of the Third Elder's study room." Fang Zhengzhi reminded again softly.
"Really? Seems like I'm really getting old, my memory is getting worse. " When the Third Elder heard this, he shook his head in frustration, then, he seemed to have thought of something, "Oh yes, have you finished the first round of examination?"
"Not yet." Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.
"Oh, then continue with the examination, I'll just sit in the wooden house with the Fifth Elder." The Third Elder nodded his head, then, he immediately turned around and walked into the wooden house.
The Fifth Elder, who was standing beside the Third Elder, looked at Fang Zhengzhi and smiled, then, he quickly followed behind the Third Elder.
Wooden house?!
What the hell!
Fang Zhengzhi's expression changed, his heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously took a step to the side, praying silently in his heart.
Five wooden houses.
They couldn't possibly be so lucky as to pick the one he was in, right?
Fang Zhengzhi felt that at this moment, he should have been blessed by the Goddess of Luck, or perhaps two bolts of lightning from the heavens, striking these two old men to death on the spot.
But, the reality was that there was no lightning, and the Third Elder and Fifth Elder were getting closer and closer to the wooden house that Kong Qing was hiding in. They were only a few steps away.
"Kong Qing feels that his abilities are limited, and this is his first time accepting such an important task. I hope that the Third Elder and Fifth Elder can give me some pointers!" Fang Zhengzhi shouted very loudly.
Furthermore, after shouting, he immediately bowed, his body and legs almost forming a vertical bow, to show his sincerity.
"Oh?" The Third Elder stopped at this moment, looked at Fang Zhengzhi, then at the slightly plump Fifth Elder beside him, "Fifth Elder, what do you think?"
"Since this disciple has the heart to ask for pointers, we naturally can't reject him." The Fifth Elder looked at the bowing Fang Zhengzhi, the edges of his mouth curling into a smile.
"Alright." The Third Elder nodded, then looked at the remaining twenty over examinees, "How about this, Kong Qing, you will still be in charge of the examination, while the Fifth Elder and I will listen by the side. If there is anything wrong, the Fifth Elder and I will naturally point out the mistakes!"
"Thank you Third Elder, thank you Fifth Elder!" Upon hearing the Third Elder and Fifth Elder's agreement, Fang Zhengzhi very quickly expressed his gratitude, and at the same time, stood up once again.
In fact, it was not to say that Fang Zhengzhi's heart was that afraid.
But …
This feeling of treading on a tightrope, was more or less exciting.
If possible, he really wanted to choose again. For example, he could just knock out any one of the examinees, and he would be able to enter the Heaven Dao Pavilion, there was no need for him to play like this.
Fortunately, his heart was strong enough to withstand it.
If it was any other person, he would have been played to death by these two "old foxes".
What should he do now?
Should he deal with them step by step, or continue with his elimination plan?
Fang Zhengzhi felt that under normal circumstances, he should follow some rules now, but, he did not know why, in his heart, he had a faint feeling that he could be exposed at any time.
After all, he was now at the foot of the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
What if he really went up?
Damn it, how many disciples in the Heaven Dao Pavilion knew Kong Qing? Putting everything else aside, Fang Zhengzhi estimated that he would not be able to find his residence.
What if he got lost?
Then, he would accidentally bump into a female disciple's room, and then, coincidentally, the female disciple had just finished bathing, her head was steaming, and she was even wearing a bright red undergarment.
This was rather awkward.
Of course, actually, if he really bumped into a female disciple's room, it would not be a big deal, but the most frightening thing was, accidentally bumping into a female elder's room …
"Ugh!" Fang Zhengzhi's body trembled, and a chill ran down his spine.
Indeed, he was too rash.
He could have impersonated anyone, but he had to impersonate a Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple, and was even targeted by Third Elder and Fifth Elder. Now, he could not escape even if he wanted to.
"No, I can't just sit and wait, I have to take the initiative, and hold the initiative firmly in my hands." Fang Zhengzhi's mind was racing.
Then, he made a shocking decision.
Continue the elimination!
Furthermore, he had to carry out the elimination till the end!
This was not a matter of whether he was willful or not, but the current situation forced him to do so. To put it bluntly, if he really followed the prescribed order, then, it was only a matter of time before he was exposed.
After all, once he entered the Heaven Dao Pavilion, problems would arise.
Therefore, he could only do the opposite.
For example, he could eliminate more than half of the contestants in front of him. This way, naturally, he would incur the wrath of Third Elder and Fifth Elder.
When Third Elder and Fifth Elder were enraged …
Then things would be easy.
As a disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, he would definitely be punished for making such a mistake in such an important event.
And there were only a few types of punishments.
The first type was to be grounded and reflect on his mistakes. Fang Zhengzhi was not afraid of this, in fact, he was looking forward to it. Because, once he was grounded, he would know where he was going to "live".
The second type was to be punished physically, such as being flogged or whipped. Fang Zhengzhi was not willing to accept this type of punishment, but if such a situation occurred, he had a way to deal with it.
That was to make a scene!
Make a scene to his death!
For example, he could shout, "I'm not satisfied, what kind of place is the Heaven Dao Pavilion, I don't want to stay!"
This way, the third type of situation would definitely occur.
That was to be chased out of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, stripped of his status as a Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple.
This was Fang Zhengzhi's last resort. Anyway, he had never wanted to be a Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple, so it did not matter if he was chased out.
By then, Yan Xiu and Nangong Mu would have successfully entered the Heaven Dao Pavilion, and he would only need to shout at the foot of the mountain, pointing at the Heaven Dao Pavilion and shouting, "Chi Guyan, come out if you have the guts!"
Then, all he had to do was wait for Chi Guyan to jump out, then he would use his identity as the Great Xia Dynasty's Prince Cang to fight with Chi Guyan in the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
Of course …
This was his last resort, and he was not willing to take it.
This was because, if he did so, he would not be able to "observe" the Heaven Dao Pavilion, the Heaven Academic Altar, the Treasure Pavilion, the Divine Rain Pond, the Heaven Dao Tablet, he would not be able to enter any of them.
This meant that his trip to the Heaven Dao Pavilion was only half completed.
However, even so, it was better than exposing his identity in the Heaven Dao Pavilion, and being beaten to death on the spot.
Thinking about this, Fang Zhengzhi's heart calmed down. In any case, the worst case scenario was not being able to enter any of the mysterious sacred places in the Heaven Dao Pavilion, but at least he could keep his life.
As long as he was alive …
If the Heaven Dao Pavilion did not work, he could go to the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, the Yin Yang Hall, and the Fu Xi Valley. After all, it was just a try, and he would not get pregnant!
"Alright, let's continue the elimination! Oh, no … continue the assessment! " Fang Zhengzhi's face quickly regained his smile, and he looked at the twenty candidates in front of him as though they were lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
However, he did not know that Third Elder and Fifth Elder, who were behind him, were also looking at him as though he was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
