They entered the courtyard. Yang Yuhuan was tired, so Fang Yun brought her to her room and asked Zhao Hongzhuang to accompany her for a few words. Then he put the little fox away.
Not long after, Zhao Hongzhuang came to Fang Yun's study and the two played Go again.
Fang Yun was growing faster and faster.
In today's first game, Zhao Hongzhuang allowed Fang Yun to use his talent. After two hours, Zhao Hongzhuang went all out and won by two and a half points. His clothes were soaked with sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
"Even if the world's top Go players use their talent, you are the only one who can force me to this extent. Among the palace's top Go players under the age of 30, only half of them can win against me. I can no longer teach you the art of Go. Starting tomorrow, you and I will compare notes on the art of Go. "
"Thank you for your guidance, Master Hongzhuang." Fang Yun smiled.
Zhao Hongzhuang glanced at Fang Yun shyly and said, "Put away the Go world. I can still teach you how to paint for a few months."
"Okay."
The quiet valley suddenly disintegrated into countless black and white Go pieces. Finally, it turned into a puff of smoke and merged into the Go table.
Before the two of them could stand up, they heard the sound of water dripping from the eaves and the patter of drizzle. Voices came from the front door and the sound of rain falling on the umbrella. The sound was not loud, but it was very loud, as if there were hundreds of umbrellas spread out in the rain.
"Brother Wei Yu, you have a bright future ahead of you. Why do you have to be like this? If you lose to Fang Yun, you will be doomed eternally! "
Fang Yun immediately recognized the familiar voice. It was the Jingguo student Chang Dongyun, whom he had met several times.
"Brother Dongyun, you are wrong. The ten upper houses have always been the holy land of the palace's students. Every year, there are more than ten battles for the upper houses. You have never shown up, but today, you have shown up. I have never doubted Fang Yun's talent. I even thought that he was qualified to stay in the Upper Dormitory. However, this is the academy, and there are rules! If the academy allows me to compete, then I can compete. Whether it's Fang Yun or Ji Zhibai, who will soon become the top scholar, as long as I don't violate the academy's rules, no one can stop me! "
Chang Dongyun said, "A gentleman knows what to do and what not to do. There are many rules in the academy, but the morality in our hearts is even greater. If Fang Yun was an ordinary student, you can fight for him, but he is the pillar of our Jingguo. He has only been in the palace for a few days. If he is forced to leave the upper dormitory, it will be a disaster for our Jingguo Literary Name. "
"A Literary Name must be upright, true, and honest. If a person who clearly doesn't have the strength to firmly occupy the top position is willing to take over the Literary Name of Jingguo."
"If Fang Yun suffers a blow because of this, what will happen?" Chang Dongyun asked.
Wei Yu laughed and said, "Since we are in the academy, we are all students, and there is no difference between us! Not to mention Fang Yun, if the saints and scholars can't even withstand this kind of blow, how can they call themselves scholars? If he really suffers a blow, it will prove that I was right to compete for his upper dormitory! He doesn't deserve to stay in this upper dormitory. "
"Bullying the weak is just like this! Don't forget, Fang Yun is still a High Scholar, and still a teenager! "
Wei Yu sneered and said, "Brother Dongyun has always been a righteous person, and I admire that. However, today you are defending Fang Yun in every way possible. I'm afraid you have ulterior motives. Are you trying to flatter Fang Yun? It doesn't seem like it. Fang Yun has enemies all over the world. You can't be that stupid. Or, are you interested in this upper dormitory? "
"If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext! I, Chang Dongyun, am not that kind of person! "
"Then you are not a gentleman to stop me from competing for the upper dormitory!" Wei Yu said.
"Alright, the two of you stop arguing. Tomorrow is the monthly entry into the Lingyan Pavilion. It won't be too late to wait for Fang Yun to enter the Lingyan Pavilion! "
"You seem to have forgotten that once the competition for the upper dormitory fails, not only will Fang Yun be punished to clean the latrines for a month, unless he successfully competes for the upper dormitory within a month, he won't be able to enter the Lingyan Pavilion for a year! Even if Fang Yun is a genius, once he loses, he won't be able to successfully compete for the upper dormitory within a month! What he, Wei Yu, wants is to force Fang Yun to be unable to enter the Lingyan Pavilion for a year! Otherwise, there is no reason to explain why Wei Yu is so eager to compete for the upper dormitory with Fang Yun today! "The more Chang Dongyun spoke, the harsher his tone became.
Whispers sounded, and the people outside the door were discussing animatedly.
Fang Yun stood at the door of the study, and was about to open the door when Zhao Hongzhuang reached out to stop him.
The two of them looked at each other.
Zhao Hongzhuang looked serious and said in a low voice, "This time, I hope you will listen to me and let me find out the facts first. Even if I can't stop Wei Yu from competing for the upper dormitory, I can give you more time to think. "
Fang Yun looked at Zhao Hongzhuang's determined face and sighed softly, "Alright, you can sound him out first. However, since he dares to come, he must have been prepared. You may fall into his trap if you are not careful. "
"It's okay, wait a moment." Zhao Hongzhuang rushed into the rain and opened the door, revealing a gap of one person. She slowly stepped over the threshold and stood under the eaves.
The noise outside quieted down, and then there were greetings one after another.
"Greetings, Your Highness Great Elder Princess."
"Greetings, Princess Hongzhuang."
"Greetings, Senior Zhuzhen."
Everyone greeted her in different ways. Except for a few people who didn't take it seriously, most of them were very respectful.
Zhao Hongzhuang nodded slightly and found that in addition to hundreds of students with umbrellas standing nearby, there were people in the distance. However, she was not even a scholar, so she couldn't see clearly in the night and couldn't see the people in the distance. She just felt uncomfortable.
Zhao Hongzhuang said, "Greetings, everyone. Who is Wei Yu? "
A person put down the umbrella in his hand and was full of Qi. Naturally, the rain couldn't get close to him.
"I am."
Zhao Hongzhuang stood on the steps and looked down at Wei Yu with her chin raised. She said, "I know a little about your Literary Name. When you were a Juren, you passed the five pavilions in the Lingyan Pavilion. Not long after you became a Jinshi, you passed the five pavilions again and even entered the upper dormitory. However, because of Ji Zhibai's sudden appearance, you knew you were no match for him, so you voluntarily gave up the upper dormitory to save your face. Am I right? "
"Your Highness is speaking the truth."
Zhao Hongzhuang said, "You have a grudge against Ji Zhibai, so you are not fated to be the Left Prime Minister. You have nothing to do with the Kang Household, so the only person who could send you here is the Lei family, right? What benefits did the Lei family give you to make you, a Jingguo, betray Jingguo and kill Fang Yun! "
Fang Yun stood at the door of the study and nodded slightly. He thought to himself that she was indeed a princess of a country. She knew so much and could reach conclusions that others couldn't.
"Kacha …"
A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky and lit up the door of the first dormitory.
Perhaps it was the light of the lightning, but Wei Yu's face was extremely pale.
When the lightning disappeared, Wei Yu's face returned to normal amidst the rumbling of thunder.
"Wei Yu, is what Princess Hongzhuang said true?" Chang Dongyun angrily walked to Wei Yu's side and clenched his right fist.
Wei Yu looked at Chang Dongyun indifferently and then looked at Zhao Hongzhuang. He said, "Your Highness is indeed the Eldest Princess. Yes, I admit that the Lei family wants me to be their son-in-law. However, I am still a Jingguo citizen and a student of the academy! Whether or not I am the Lei family's son-in-law, I have the right to compete with Fang Yun for the position of Prime Minister! As a student of Jingguo, as long as I have not done anything wrong, even the Prime Minister can't expel me from the academy! "
Zhao Hongzhuang said, "It's good that you admit that you are the Lei family's dog. You can be arrogant now, but you will suffer retribution in the future!"
Wei Yu smiled and said, "I know that Your Highness is very powerful in Jingguo, but no one in Jingguo can bully the Lei family!"
"I want to try." A clear voice came from the courtyard. Then, a young man in a black robe slowly walked to the door. The drizzle automatically left when it reached him. His robe did not have a single drop of rain, and his cloth shoes did not have any water stains.
"It's Fang Wenhou." Chang Dongyun whispered.
Fang Yun opened the half-closed door completely and walked out of the threshold. He stood on the stairs and scanned the front.
In the rainy night, hundreds of Jingguo students stood at the door with umbrellas in their hands. The colorful umbrellas were like flower petals connected together, filling the nearby space.
"Fang Wenhou!"
Everyone greeted him.
Fang Yun scanned the surroundings. His Bright Eyes' night vision allowed him to see further and clearer.
Dozens of people were scattered about a few hundred feet away. Among them were old acquaintances that he had met at the Chongyang Literary Gathering.
Young Duke, Lei Yuanting, and Jian Ming were among them.
The three of them smiled at the same time. Lei Yuanting even raised his chin high and cupped his hands to Fang Yun.
It was not a greeting, but more like a compliment.
Fang Yun's expression did not change. He retracted his gaze and looked at the students in front of him. He smiled and said, "Everyone, please dispense with the formalities. Wei Yu is right. No matter what my status is outside, since I have entered the school, I am only a student."
Chang Dongyun said angrily, "You don't have to pay attention to such a despicable person! If he came purely to compete for the position, I would at most persuade him. But he came to harm you. This kind of person is the shame of the school. "
Fang Yun looked at Wei Yu and asked, "You want to compete for the position?"
"Of course." Wei Yu raised his head fearlessly and looked directly at Fang Yun.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "I don't know how to compete for the position. After all, I have not even seen the Lingyan Pavilion. Why don't you give me a chance and fight with me? "
All of a sudden, there was only the sound of raindrops falling. Everyone stopped breathing.
Fang Yun had been in the state for less than a month. Not only did he defeat ten people in a row as a mere High Scholar, the tenth person was Xun Long, the genius of the Xun Family who was far more talented and powerful than Wei Yu. Even though Xun Long was demoted to a High Scholar, he was far stronger than an ordinary High Scholar.
In the current Ten Nations, everyone knew about Fang Yun's reputation for being a High Scholar. He was known as the king of all High Scholars. Someone had long predicted that even if the new High Scholar did not demote to a High Scholar, he would definitely be defeated in a High Scholar battle with Fang Yun.
Chang Dongyun immediately said, "Wei Yu, a High Scholar is willing to have a High Scholar battle with you. Do you dare!?!"
Wei Yu kept his mouth shut and did not say a word. There was a strange glint in his eyes.
Fang Yun said slowly, "That is not a High Scholar battle. Do you dare to have a High Scholar battle?"
Another bolt of lightning flashed across the sky. Fang Yun's expression became calmer, but Wei Yu was shocked.
This High Scholar who was once a High Scholar did not dare to have a High Scholar battle with Fang Yun!
There were no rules in a High Scholar battle. It was a battle to the death between the two of them. High Scholars had an absolute advantage in a battle of words. Even the former top High Scholar, Yan Yukong, would definitely lose in a battle of words.
Everyone looked at Fang Yun or Wei Yu. No one dared to speak. Fang Yun's words were too bold, and Wei Yu did not dare to respond.
