"Full cooperation? See you there?! "
Cai Yongfeng softly repeated Kang Xingping's words just now. Then, his face instantly turned deathly white. He slowly turned his head back and gazed at Kang Xingping who had fallen into the pond, then gazed at the surrounding scholars and beauties.
From their eyes, Cai Yongfeng saw two emotions. Shock and anger!
"Cai Yongfeng, you two-faced, treacherous villain, I, Kang Xingping, swear to kill you!" Within the pond, Kang Xingping swore.
The scholars and beauties beside the pond also looked at Cai Yongfeng and shook their heads.
Never in their dreams would they have thought that Cai Yongfeng, who was ranked in the Hidden Dragon Roll, would actually conspire with Fang Zhengzhi? What kind of charm did this Fang Zhengzhi have?
Just as the crowd was puzzled, another person appeared beside the pond.
Then, the crowd saw a shocking scene. A youth dressed in luxurious clothes, his expression as cold as ice, waving a Golden Bone Silver Thread Fan in his hand, walked to Fang Zhengzhi's side.
"Settled?" Yan Xiu looked at Cai Yongfeng beside the pond and Kang Xingping who had fallen into the pond.
"Yes!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded. In front of Yan Xiu, he didn't like to lie. If he had the intention to make use of Yan Xiu, at this moment, he should have added a sentence of thanks for Young Master Cai's help.
"I can treat you to a meal!" Yan Xiu nodded lightly.
"Alright!" Fang Zhengzhi didn't reject.
Yan Xiu turned around, then, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly looked at Cai Yongfeng beside the pond and said coldly, "Thank you Young Master Cai for your help!"
A light breeze blew past. Time seemed to stop at this moment.
Cai Yongfeng beside the pond looked at Yan Xiu in disbelief.
Fang Zhengzhi was also slightly shocked. He believed that Yan Xiu would be able to see the problem here. But, Yan Xiu's words were evidently …
"They are indeed together!"
Those who were initially unwilling to believe no longer had a shred of doubt at this moment. Because, everyone believed that someone as cold as Yan Xiu wouldn't lie.
When Cai Yongfeng wanted to explain again, Kang Yongxing, who was in the pond, didn't give him any chance to speak.
Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu, shoulder to shoulder, walked towards the pavilion.
Meanwhile, the Ink Pond could no longer remain calm. The enraged Kang Yongxing frantically attacked Cai Yongfeng. Every move he made was vicious, and every step he took was sneaky.
Such a crazy move naturally made it impossible for Cai Yongfeng to hold back.
Then …
The two of them began a life and death battle by the pool.
As for the scholars and ladies who were in the mood to tour, they watched this exciting battle. However, they could not understand why Fang Zhengzhi was the one who pushed Kang Yongxing into the pond.
But the result was Kang Yongxing and Cai Yongfeng fighting to the death by the pool? He felt that something was not quite right.
…
In the building, Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu sat next to each other. The bearded man stood quietly behind him while the maid poured tea for the two of them. Everything was so calm and peaceful.
Yan Xiu did not ask further because he had seen everything with his own eyes. Fang Zhengzhi also did not say much because he knew that Yan Xiu was not good at chatting.
Just like that, the two of them sat quietly and watched the intense fight by the pool.
It was only until the two of them were completely exhausted and had no choice but to disperse after a few people who could not bear to watch any longer, that this peace was finally broken.
"There are still ten days before the capital examination begins." Yan Xiu spoke first.
"Yes." Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
"I heard that the contents of the capital examination this time are slightly different from usual." Yan Xiu continued.
"Because of me?" Fang Zhengzhi guessed.
"Yes, but also no!" Yan Xiu nodded and shook his head.
Fang Zhengzhi did not speak. He only lightly sipped on his tea and quietly waited for Yan Xiu to continue his explanation.
"Even though Chi Guyan's status is high, but, she did not participate in the politics of the court. Furthermore, the contents of the capital examination have always been approved by the Imperial Academy and approved by the Left Minister."
"But, this time, there were too many people who registered for the River of Trust Capital examination. Hence, the Chief Examiner of the River of Trust Capital proposed a new examination content. The Imperial Academy has already approved it and the Left Minister has also signed it."
After Yan Xiu finished explaining all these in one breath, his face seemed slightly flushed, as if he was still not used to it.
"I understand." Fang Zhengzhi nodded again.
"The changes in the capital examination are disadvantageous to you." Yan Xiu drank a mouthful of tea and continued.
"Do I have a choice?"
"No."
"Then let nature take its course."
…
Ever since Fang Zhengzhi appeared beside the Serene Ink Pond, the news of him entering the River of Trust Capital naturally spread very quickly. Everyone guessed that Fang Zhengzhi's days in the River of Trust Capital wouldn't be too easy.
And in reality …
Fang Zhengzhi's days in the past few days were very comfortable.
Yan Xiu booked a new pavilion for him. It was quiet and elegant.
It had to be said that Yan Xiu was indeed very sincere towards Fang Zhengzhi. The main reason why Fang Zhengzhi accepted this sincerity wasn't because he wanted to use Yan Xiu to protect himself.
Instead, he felt that it wasn't a bad thing if he could avoid some unnecessary flies buzzing.
The time to the capital examination was getting closer and closer. Initially, when he thought that there wouldn't be any more changes, an explosive news suddenly spread.
Yun Qingwu had come to the River of Trust Capital!
This undoubtedly planted a fuse in the already turbulent River of Trust Capital. Countless scholars started to spread the news that Yun Qingwu was definitely here because of that piece of paper.
After all, Yun Qingwu was the biggest victim in the document.
Following which, when there were only three days left to the capital examination, according to tradition, the River of Trust Capital hosted a grand gathering of scholars and beauties.
Almost all the scholars who entered the River of Trust Capital arrived at the venue of the cultural gathering.
But, something even stranger happened. Fang Zhengzhi didn't appear at the venue of the cultural gathering as everyone expected. Furthermore, even Yun Qingwu didn't participate.
A grand cultural gathering began amidst huge cheers, but ended in a desolate sigh.
This caused a huge question to form in the hearts of all the scholars in the River of Trust Capital.
Why did Yun Qingwu come?
If she came for Fang Zhengzhi, then why didn't she denounce him at the cultural gathering? Such a good opportunity, no one would give it up.
Then …
If Yun Qingwu didn't come for Fang Zhengzhi? Then why would she choose to come to the River of Trust Capital at this time that everyone could guess?
The crowd couldn't understand.
And just as the crowd discussed animatedly, filled with confusion, they discovered to their shock that the date of the capital examination had already silently and officially arrived.
Was it peaceful?
If it had to be said, it was indeed very peaceful.
Because, ever since Fang Zhengzhi entered the River of Trust Capital, he had only appeared once in front of the Serene Ink Pond. Even though that time caused some commotion, but, compared to a real storm.
Then, perhaps it was just …
An unintentional brush of shoulders!
And now, the real storm had already descended!
