Dong Wencong rushed into Fang Yun's study after learning that the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas were working together to create a temporary Sea Eye.
"Fang Xusheng, this is bad!" Dong Wencong shouted before she entered the room. She then pushed the door open with a loud bang.
"Fortunately, I wasn't behind the door." Fang Yun raised his head from behind a large pile of documents and looked at Dong Wencong quietly.
Dong Wencong looked embarrassed. She straightened her robes and cupped her hands. "Greetings, Governor."
"It's fine. Continue." Fang Yundao said.
Dong Wencong walked to Fang Yun's desk and said with a serious expression, "The Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas are working together to create a temporary Sea Eye. There's definitely something fishy going on. The Dragons were once the Lords of All Realms and mastered the method to create a Sea Eye. It's not difficult to create a Sea Eye in Saint Origin World that doesn't cross realms. Even so, it requires a large amount of resources. If those resources were converted into literature treasures, it would be worth a Half-saint literature treasure. No matter how rich the Dragons are, a Half-saint literature treasure is still a great fortune for them. Only a few of the Dragons have Half-saint literature treasures. Most Dragons don't. "
Fang Yun nodded. "I tried to contact Ao Qingyue after I saw someone make such a whimsical suggestion. I didn't expect the East Sea Dragon Palace to agree to help. However, the other three Dragon Palaces took the initiative to join in. Otherwise, the number of temporary Sea Eyes created by the East Sea Dragon Palace would be limited. "
"The other three Dragon Palaces took the initiative to join in? There's definitely something fishy going on! Could it be that the Dragon Palaces of the Three Seas are also planning to interfere in the Mid-Autumn Festival? What right do they have? With the power of the Holy Temple in Baling City, they can't do anything to you. "Dong Wencong frowned.
Fang Yun smiled. "When Ao Qingyue told me about this, he advised me not to agree to the help of the other three Dragon Palaces. At most, there would be fewer Sea Eyes. But I gladly agreed. Since they are willing to use their power and divine objects to create the Eye of the Sea, to bring scholars from all over the human race to Baling City, to stimulate trade in Baling City, and to make Xiang Province more prosperous, why should I refuse? "
"But … they deliberately let so many scholars come to Yueyang Tower. It is very likely that they have some kind of method to make you lose to Zhang Longxiang, and then let you make a fool of yourself in front of all the scholars in the world. The more people see you make a fool of yourself, the happier the West Sea Dragon Palace will be. Why don't … we just reduce the size of the Wen Society. If we fail, we won't let too many people see it, and we can still make a comeback. "Dong Wencong advised.
Fang Yun nodded and said, "Wen Cong, your opinion is very pertinent and your eyesight is also very sharp. You can see that the Three Seas Dragon Palace has evil intentions. However, this Yue Yang Tower is my, Fang Yun's, place. In front of me, even if you are a dragon, you have to coil up; if you are a tiger, you have to lie down! "
Dong Wencong looked at Fang Yun and felt a strong sense of confidence from his tone, expression, and gaze.
"How confident are you in defeating Zhang Longxiang?"
Fang Yun felt that this question was very interesting and could not help but smile, saying, "One hundred percent."
"Ah?" Dong Wencong looked at Fang Yun in disbelief. He understood Fang Yun very well. Back then, the two of them had a deep friendship in Jade Sea City. Even when Fang Yun was at his most arrogant, even when he wanted to display his strength, he would not have such an attitude.
"The opponent is Zhang Mingzhou. Although he is slightly inferior to your Fang Zhenguo, since he is in charge of choosing the topic, if it is a battle of frontier or military poems, I'm afraid you will not even have a fifty percent chance of victory. I believe in you very much, but Zhang Longxiang's battle achievements are unrivaled in Two World Mountain. Even if you go to Two World Mountain now, you may not be able to achieve such glorious results. Therefore, please answer seriously. I will ask again, how confident are you in defeating Zhang Longxiang? "
Dong Wencong's gaze was like fire, as if he wanted to burn two holes in Fang Yun's eyes.
"One hundred percent." Fang Yun's answer was no different from before.
Disappointment flashed in Dong Wencong's eyes. His reason told him that Fang Yun might have been too successful recently and had become arrogant. Although it was usually hard to detect, it would be exposed at the crucial moment. However, Dong Wencong's feelings and experience told him that since Fang Yun said that he was one hundred percent confident twice, he could not persuade him no matter what, and had to firmly support him.
In the past, the two of them were indeed friends and teacher, but now, Fang Yun's position was like the sun in the sky, and the gap between the two of them was growing larger and larger.
Dong Wencong concealed the disappointment in his eyes, and his gaze became firm as he nodded lightly, saying, "Lord Governor, please be at ease. This official will definitely do his best to arrange this Yueyang Pavilion Literary Meeting. I guarantee that there will not be any mistakes, and you will be in your best condition to face Zhang Longxiang!"
Unexpectedly, Fang Yun smiled and said, "Wencong, I understand your feelings very well. Your worries are not without reason, because I am also worried."
"In this Literary Meeting, shouldn't Zhang Longxiang be the most worrisome person? Are you referring to that mysterious' important person '? "Dong Wencong asked.
Fang Yun nodded lightly, saying, "When I first learned about that 'important person', I did not care. It was nothing more than the nonsense of a few Xiangzhou officials, and it did not matter much. However, when the Qing Emperor wanted to personally come to Yueyang Pavilion, a trace of doubt appeared in my heart. When the Dragon Palace of the Three Seas took the initiative to help me build a temporary Sea Eye, my vigilance was raised to the extreme. I, just did not show it. "
Dong Wencong revealed an ashamed expression. Only now did he truly realize that not only was there a gap between his position and Fang Yun's, there was also a huge gap in other aspects. As Xusheng, as a governor, even if he only had a ten percent confidence in his heart, he had to say that he was one hundred percent confident in many cases! No matter how strong the enemy was, Fang Yun had to remain calm, and his heart could not be flustered.
If Fang Yun showed the slightest bit of anxiety, it would be as if the sky of Xiangzhou had collapsed.
"Then why did you agree to build a temporary Sea Eye …" Dong Wencong was even more puzzled.
"There is a huge difference between making a fool of myself in front of one person and ten people. There is not much difference between making a fool of myself in front of a hundred thousand people and a million people. However, for Xiangzhou and Jiangzhou, there is a huge difference between a hundred thousand people and a million people. In addition, no matter how many people come, it will not affect that important person. Since that is the case, I will deal with all changes by sticking to the status quo, and see which important person has come. "
"Could it be Half-saint?"
"Losing to Half-saint is not making a fool of myself." Fang Yun smiled faintly.
"You are really carefree." Dong Wencong shook his head helplessly.
"You can also say that I am pretending to be calm," Fang Yun said with a smile.
Hearing Fang Yun's words, Dong Wencong was relieved. Fang Yun was not arrogant, but he had to maintain the most perfect state of mind. Now that Fang Yun said that he was "pretending to be calm", it meant that Fang Yun was already at ease.
At this moment, a guard quickly ran to the door and said, "Governor, a person called Zeng Yuan requests an audience."
"Let him in," Fang Yun said.
Hearing this, Dong Wencong's thoughts ran wild. This Zeng Yuan was not only an important person in the Zeng family, but also an important person in the gambling incident.
