Fang Daniu and his family's servants were waiting by the carriage outside Wenyuan Street. When they saw Fang Yun, they were overjoyed, but when they saw the 30-odd officials dressed in official robes beside Fang Yun, they were all dumbfounded.
"Master, you didn't commit a shocking crime, did you?" A young follower asked.
"Commit a crime, my foot! Look carefully, they're smiling so happily. Besides, didn't you hear what Half-saint said? Even a fool would know that being the head of the Book Hill and the best talent of the Ten Nations is a good thing! However, these officials are too strange, "Fang Daniu said.
When they reached the carriage, Fang Yun didn't know whether to get on or not. If he got on the carriage, it would be rude to these officials. However, if he didn't get on the carriage, he would be surrounded by a group of officials for so long. Who knew how many people would see him along the way?
Fang Yun looked at the sky and realized that it wasn't six o 'clock yet, so there shouldn't be too many people on the road. Hence, he nodded at Fang Daniu and gestured for him to follow. He then chatted and laughed with the officials as they continued to walk home.
"Fang Wujia, before you went to the Book Hill, you were at most a scholar with the Literary Name, but once you go to the Book Hill, you will be a talent with great potential. If nothing goes wrong, you will definitely become a great Confucian scholar in the future. I won't be surprised if you become a Saint. "
"That makes sense. Once you go to the Three Mountains and Three Pavilions, Fang Yun will definitely become a great Confucian scholar. Half-saint may be difficult, but it's not impossible."
Fang Yun said modestly, "Everyone, you're flattering me. My heart is on the Sage Path. It doesn't matter where I go, I just have to be myself."
However, Fang Shouye beamed and said, "Fang Yun, don't be modest! In the future, our Fang family will have a great Confucian scholar too. It's difficult to become a Saint. There are many geniuses who go to the Three Mountains and Three Pavilions for the first time, but not many become Saints. However, you have a great chance. "
Fang Yun looked at his uncle helplessly. He had been bragging since the beginning. He was even more ostentatious than the real top talent of the Ten Nations. He was just short of grabbing everyone in the world and saying that Fang Yun was his nephew.
Those officials could understand Fang Yun's mentality. This time, Fang Yun's Literary Name had increased greatly. In the past, only people who read the Wen Pao and the Sacred Dao knew about it. However, now that the couplet was hung at the entrance of the Ten Nations Literary Institute, everyone would know about it within a year at most. Countless people would take Fang Yun as their role model.
One of the generals said with a smile, "Those people from the Great Origin Mansion are probably regretting it now! They must be thinking about it now. He should have locked Fang Yun in the Wen Courtyard to prevent any assassination attempts against Fang Yun. It's a pity that Fang Yun is in the limelight in our Jade Sea City. No matter what happens in the future. We must thank the Great Source Residence for their noble character and unquestionable integrity! "
"As for the Dragon Boat Cultural Gathering, I would also like to thank the Great Source Residence."
"In the future, if anyone dares to say that Fang Yun came to the Jade Sea Prefecture to snatch a spot on the Book Hill, I'll slap them! Not to mention a spot on the Book Hill, even if he snatches all the spots, the entire Jade Sea Prefecture will be convinced! "
"Of course!"
Fang Yun was humble again. But these High Scholars and Grand Scholars did not care about him. They just said whatever they wanted to say.
Fang Yun was modest at first, but he soon understood them. Apart from Li Wenying, there hadn't been any geniuses in Jingguo who could be compared to the Four Great Scholars for decades. Besides, the Half-saint family of Jingguo had long placed their focus on Notre-Dame and the Two Realms Mountain. Besides, they had been warned by the Holy Families of Gyeongo Wu Guo that there was a limit to how much they could help the Jingguo royal family.
In the eyes of the descendants of the aristocratic families … The country was not important as long as the human race was not destroyed. The Holy Families would never be destroyed.
Jing Nation had been suppressed miserably for the past few years. Now that Fang Yun, who could suppress the ten nations, had finally appeared, they said that the chances of him becoming a Saint were slim, but they couldn't wait for Fang Yun to be conferred as a Saint the next day so that Jing Nation would have a hundred years of peace.
Yang Yuhuan was happier than anyone else when she saw that so many people recognized Fang Yun.
They walked all the way to Fang Yun's house before they bade farewell and left in twos and threes.
Fang Yun had gained a lot from the Book Hill, but he was extremely tired and fell asleep as soon as he returned to his house.
In the morning, Zhang Poyue's men delivered a bowl-sized demon turtle egg.
In the afternoon, the Tong Family of the Jade Sea Prefecture was in chaos. Tong Li hanged himself after he woke up and left a blood letter before he died, asking his family to avenge him.
Fang Yun did not wake up until night time. The little fox jumped into his arms and slept with him.
Yang Yuhuan knew that Nunu was psychic and she was relieved when she saw that Nunu was not worried.
Jade Sea City was brightly lit at night, and the commercial North Vice City was bustling with people even in the middle of the night.
On the road from Jade Sea City to the capital, a Flaming Hoofed Ox Cart sped along. The ladders of the Flaming Hoofed Ox Cart sped along, and sparks flew everywhere.
The Flaming Hoofed Ox Cart was very bumpy, but the Assistant Minister Tong inside did not feel it at all. He was holding Sun Bin's Art of War and reading it aloud. His speed was extremely slow, as if he wanted to imprint every word deeply into his mind.
Suddenly, a white light sword with a hint of blood flew over from the south of Jade Sea City and landed a thousand feet away, stabbing into the road.
The cart driver immediately slowed down the Flaming Hoofed Ox Cart while the Assistant Minister Tong lifted the curtain and looked at the familiar blood-drained ancient sword in front of him.
The ox cart stopped, and the Assistant Minister Tong looked at the sword quietly. Once upon a time, he and the owner of this sword fought side by side, killing demons and barbarians, drinking and eating together.
"Sigh …"
The Assistant Minister Tong let out a long sigh and stared at the blood-drained ancient sword for a full fifteen minutes before saying firmly, "My grandson cannot die in vain. Fighting without victory, attacking without taking anything, is not my Saint Dao. Return to the capital, to the Left Minister's Residence. "
"Yes, Master."
The Assistant Minister Tong looked at the blood-drained ancient sword again before lowering the curtain and continuing to read Sun Bin's Art of War.
The blood-drained ancient sword trembled lightly and flew towards the south, crossing Jade Sea City and flying to the shore of the Yangtze River near Jade Sea City, entering the body of Li Wenying who was wearing a green robe embroidered with clouds.
On the river surface several dozen feet away from Li Wenying, there was a scholar wearing a similar green robe embroidered with clouds, but he was twenty years younger than Li Wenying.
"Junior Gu Jingdao greets Lord Li." The young scholar bowed with his hands clasped.
"Lord Shijun is too polite. You are one of the Four Great Scholars of this generation, so there is no need for such formalities." Li Wenying sat cross-legged on a large rock, not even looking at Gu Jingdao. He looked towards the estuary of the Yangtze River with a calm expression.
"I have always admired Lord's name and know that Lord is a decisive person, so I will speak frankly. Since my disciple made a bet with Fang Yun, he must accept his loss. As his teacher, I cannot say anything. However, Fang Yun and Zhang Poyue did not even give him a chance to live. I have come to Jingguo this time. It is not to make things difficult for Fang Yun, but to see him face to face and if he sincerely apologizes. This matter will be settled. As for that Zhang Poyue, he can just take a verbal attack from me. "
Li Wenying still looked at the estuary and said, "If you dare to come ashore, I will kill you."
Gu Jingdao stood on the water, his eyes flashing with anger as he said, "Everyone says that Lord Jianmei is just and impartial. Why can't you distinguish between public and private matters? I did not kill the two of them. I was just comforting my disciple's soul in heaven. "
"That kind of scourge cannot reach the heavens. He should have reincarnated as a bug in the Demon World." Li Wenying said indifferently.
"He is my disciple, Gu Jingdao. I watched him grow up! "Gu Jingdao said as he took a step forward and stared at Li Wenying, his muscles tensed.
"Fang Yun and Zhang Poyue are under my protection."
"You can protect them for a while. But not for a lifetime. "
"It doesn't matter. If Zhang Poyue is dead, I will kill you. If Fang Yun is dead, I will slaughter ten generations of your family. "
Gu Jingdao suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "If your disciple is killed, what will you do?"
"If my disciple is like your disciple, I will kill him first so that he will not cause trouble for me." Li Wenying still said in an indifferent tone.
Gu Jingdao sighed softly and said, "Although Dehong is wrong. He is not wrong to kill. I originally did not want to teach Fang Yun a lesson, but since you stopped me. If I meet Fang Yun in the future, I will punish him lightly. "
"Say that again." Li Wenying suddenly turned his head and looked at Gu Jingdao.
Gu Jingdao suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. He could not breathe properly, and his heartbeat accelerated. He saw a sea of blood in Li Wenying's eyes.
Gu Jingdao used all his strength, but he could not open his mouth to repeat that sentence.
Li Wenying turned his head again and looked at the estuary of the Yangtze River.
After a long time, Gu Jingdao said, "This time, Fang Yun won the Book Hill, and a large number of scholars from Gyeongo and Wu Guo left the Book Hill early. Some are even unconscious, and the Literary Palace is damaged. Many people believe that Fang Yun did it. There will definitely be people coming to Jingguo to fight! I originally wanted to resolve the grudge between the two countries, but since you stopped me, then I will not stop the scholars from Gyeongo from coming to Jingguo to fight! "
"Why not just fight directly?" Li Wenying asked.
Gu Jingdao was speechless.
A fight between scholars was a competition.
A fight between scholars was to determine who was better.
A fight between scholars was to seize cities.
"Li Wenying, you're going too far."
Li Wenying said slowly, "Since you guys lost in the Dragon Boat Literary Meet, you'll definitely come to Jingguo to fight. How can I not know? Your disciple is so unbearable. I really should have killed him before he came to Jade Sea City. I will recommend you to the Notre-Dame to go to the Two World Mountain. You're no longer suitable to stay in the Ten Nations. "
"Hmph! Since you're so unreasonable, don't blame me for being ruthless in Gyeongo. "
"Haven't you Gyeongo people been forcing Jingguo into a dead end?" Li Wenying said.
Gu Jingdao remained silent.
"You will regret what you did today." Gu Jingdao turned around and left.
"I'm considering whether to kill you or not."
Gu Jingdao's body trembled, and white clouds appeared under his feet as he quickly flew to the opposite shore.
Li Wenying stood up and looked at Gu Jingdao's back before turning around to return to Jade Sea City.
After a night, Fang Yun finally woke up.
"I'm hungry!" That was the first word that Fang Yun said.
Hence, Yang Yuhuan and the servants at home began to get busy preparing breakfast for Fang Yun.
Not long after, Fang Yun began to eat his breakfast in big mouthfuls.
Fang Daniu came in with a large pile of invitation cards and said with a bitter expression, "These are from yesterday, there may be more today."
"Just say that I got injured at Book Hill and have to recuperate for half a month," Fang Yundao said.
"Okay." Fang Daniu left helplessly.
Nunu chirped twice and jumped onto Fang Yun's dining table. She reached out her little paw and pressed Fang Yun's wrist. She looked up at him with an inquiring gaze, wanting to know if he was injured.
Yang Yuhuan asked with concern, "Are you really injured?"
Fang Yun smiled and said, "No, I was lying to them. I learned too much at Book Hill and it's hard to digest in a short period of time. It'll take some time, so I have to go into seclusion and study hard. I'm really not injured. "
Fang Yun said as he patted Nunu's head, but Nunu was still doubtful. She put her nose on Fang Yun's hand and sniffed it lightly before feeling relieved.
Yang Yuhuan smiled and said, "Then I'm relieved."
