Rubbing his hand furiously, Fang Zhengzhi instinctively walked towards the leading youth. As he walked, he even revealed an expression he considered to be warm and friendly.

However, when this smile ended up in the eyes of Hua Kangan.

Something seemed to be not quite right.

Looking at Fang Zhengzhi walking over with a treacherous smile, Hua Kangan frowned, and felt as if the way Fang Zhengzhi looked at him seemed somewhat strange.

Standing behind Hua Kangan, Zhang Hetong and Tang Yulong also noticed this point.

"Don’t tell me this guy has some special interests?" The two glanced at one another, then thought of Yan Xiu who had never left Fang Zhengzhi’s side, and a weird thought suddenly came into their head.

Fang Zhengzhi walked to Hua Kangan’s side, then, carefully inspected the armour he wore. When he was satisfied with looking, he even reached out his hands to feel it.

Hua Kangan instantly became alarmed, and quickly sprang apart from Fang Zhengzhi, his expression filled with caution.

"Fang Zhengzhi, what do you want to do?", Hua Kangan’s tone wasn't too friendly.

"You recognise me?"

"Who doesn't recognise you here?"

"Since you know me, make an offer!" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the armour on Hua Kangan's body, and his eyes glittered.

"Make… make what offer!" Hua Kangan looked at Fang Zhengzhi's expression and a chill instantly went down his spine.

On the other hand, Zhang Hetong and Tang Yulong instinctively walked towards the side, feeling that the further they were from Fang Zhengzhi, the better.

"Armour, I like your armour!" Fang Zhengzhi rubbed his hands.

"Armour?!" Hua Kangan's face was filled with disbelief.

"You want to buy Hua Kangan's armour?!" Zhang Hetong was just as shocked, but immediately after, he suddenly began to laugh. "Ha ha ha… Brother Hua, somebody has noticed your 'Jade Sea Armour’ that has been passed down in the Hua family for generations!"

"Ha ha ha… Fang Zhengzhi, do you know how valuable Brother Hua’s Jade Sea Armour is?! You actually want to buy it?" At this moment, Tang Yulong was completely reduced to laughter by Fang Zhengzhi's words.

"Are you selling?" Fang Zhengzhi twitched his mouth towards Tang Yulong, and simply didn't bother paying any attention to him. In his eyes, there was only the Jade Sea Armour that Hua Kangan wore on his body.

"You really want it?" When Hua Kangan realised what was happening, a mocking smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Yes!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded.

Hua Kangan's lips parted slightly. Just as he prepared to make a sky-high offer, he suddenly noticed Yan Xiu standing behind Fang Zhengzhi, and was instantly taken aback.

Don't tell me Yan Xiu wishes to buy?!

If it was Fang Zhengzhi who wanted to buy, he could terrify him with a price of a few thousand taels.

However...

If it was Yan Xiu, not even mentioning a few thousand, even if it was a few hundred thousand, Yan Xiu wouldn't even blink. When that time comes, his price had already been announced, and he would have to eat his words

What he was afraid of losing was ultimately his own face.

"Are you selling or not?" Hua Kangan carefully pondered for a moment, and decided to probe Fang Zhengzhi's tone to determine whether it was him or Yan Xiu who wanted to buy.

"Not selling? Then among the three of you… at least one won't be able to pass this round!" Fang Zhengzhi gazed at Hua Kangan, then looked at Tang Yulong and Zhang Hetong who were standing behind him.

"We can't pass this round? Ha ha ha… Didn't just say that we can't pass this round?! Do you know who am I?" Tang Yulong suddenly began to laugh.

Without waiting for Hua Kangan to speak, he had already stood out and walked in front of Fang Zhengzhi.

"You?" Fang Zhengzhi took one look at Tang Yulong and seemed somewhat spiteful. "Tang Yulong, number thirty-five in the Hidden Dragon Roll, Divine Seal Peak Stage, seventh child of the Tang family, with three elder brothers above you. Unfortunately, these brothers aren't very useful, and they are too weak. Hence, for your status in the Tang family, you used your status as their younger brother to chase them out of the Tang family. Furthermore…"

"Shut up! How… how do you know this?!" Tang Yulong's eyes turned round from staring. This incident wasn't some special secret, after all, in the past this incident had been spreading all around. However, he didn't think that a poor person from a village would know his greatest sin.

"Zhang Hetong, number twenty-eight in the Hidden Dragon Roll. A year ago, you have already reached the Divine Seal Peak State. By now, you should have already sensed the threshold of the Star Conglomerate State? Am I correct?" Fang Zhengzhi didn't pay any attention to Tang Yulong, and instead shifted his attention to Zhang Hetong.

"Looks like Young Master Fang had investigated us before? But, I'm curious, what method is Young Master Fang going to use to ensure one person out of us three isn't going to pass this second round?" Zhang Hetong smiled.

"Fang Zhengzhi… whatever you have to say, be direct!" Hua Kangan instinctively placed his hands behind his back and signalled to Zhang Hetong.

Zhang Hetong received the message and swiftly, moved to Tang Yulong’s side.

"Let’s make a bet, if I can make one of you stay in the second round, this armour will be mine!" Fang Zhengzhi appeared to not have noticed Zhang Hetong and Tang Yulong’s actions, instead, looked at Hua Kangan with a faint smile.

"Ha ha ha… do you know that this Jade Sea Armour is passed down from generations in my Hua family. Furthermore, during the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty, it is the armour my ancestor wore during his first time in the battlefield. Afterwards, due to this Jade Sea Armour, he achieved great feats in the battlefield, hence the emperor personally gifted the armour to him. Hence, this Jade Sea Armour was able to be passed down to the next generation, becoming the honour and glory that the younger generations of the Hua family fought for! Let me ask you, as a poor village person, what item do you have to bet with my Jade Sea Armour?!" Hua Kangan laughed, his face filled with arrogance.

"This Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan of mine, I wonder whether it can be used to bet with your Jade Sea Armour?" At this moment, Yan Xiu who was silent all along walked over slowly, lightly waving the Golden Bone Silver Thread Fan in his hand.

"Yan Xiu!" Hua Kangan’s eyes narrowed.

"Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan?! He is holding the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan?!" When Tang Yulong heard Yan Xiu’s words, shock instantly appeared on his face.

"Who would have thought, the Yan family actually gave the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan to Yan Xiu?!" Zhang Hetong’s gaze also landed on the Golden Bone Silver Thread Fan in Yan Xiu’s hands, horror appearing on his face.

"You trust me?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yan Xiu.

Yan Xiu’s lips twitched, as if wanting to say something. Then, he seemed to swallow back the words, and looked at Fang Zhengzhi with a very serious expression.

"We are friends!"

"Because your grandfather said that you must be sincere towards your friends, that’s why you trust me?" Fang Zhengzhi smiled faintly.

"No, grandfather said, the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan cannot be lost!" Yan Xiu shook his head.

Fang Zhengzhi was taken aback. Ever since the first time he met Yan Xiu, he kept hearing Yan Xiu say, grandfather said this, grandfather said that. Hence, Fang Zhengzhi’s impression of Yan Xiu was that he was someone who would obey everything his grandfather said.

However, this time…

Seemed to be an exception!

Furthermore, it was an exception that was made for him!

"Relax, the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan won’t be lost!"

Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yan Xiu very seriously, then, turned around and looked at Hua Kangan. "I won’t use Yan Xiu’s Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan to bet with you, but I can tell you that if you don’t bet with me, not only one of you won’t be able to pass the second round, all three of you won’t be able to pass!"
