Gate of God

Chapter 84: Criminal Demand Order

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

"If it isn't because of a piece of criminal demand order! I believe everyone would have the same thing as young master!" When Wu Yuer mentioned the criminal demand order, her gaze was intensely fixated on Fang Zhengzhi's face.

"Criminal demand order?!" Fang Zhengzhi suddenly didn't feel too good.

"With young master's intelligence, naturally you would be able to guess who this criminal demand order is demanding? And who made this demand?" Wu Yuer saw the change in Fang Zhengzhi's expression, and her mouth curved into a slight smile.

Fang Zhengzhi was silent.

He wasn't dumb, it was his portrait that was hanged on the city gate, and Wu Yuer had to talk about Chi Guyan. Who this criminal demand order demands, and who made this demand, if he still didn't know, he would definitely be an idiot.

Now, he also finally understood why Wu Yuer had to mention Chi Guyan first.

With Chi Guyan's position and status in the Great Xia Dynasty, personally giving this criminal demand order, its effect was definitely predictable.

Double Dragon Roll Champion!

People used to believe that that was something that was almost impossible to achieve. After all, even though the Hidden Dragon Roll and Rising Dragon Roll had some parts that overlapped, but nobody in history had ever achieved the Double Dragon Roll Champion at the same time!

Eighteen-years-old and twenty-eight-years-old. The difference was ten years, how would that be simple? But, a year ago, the thirteen-year-old Chi Guyan had suddenly entered the world and used her shocking talents to cause all of the scholars in the world to submit willingly.

Such a person, and moreover, a girl! Why would the scholars not act?!

"What crime?" Fang Zhengzhi tried his best to make his expression seem a little calmer.

"Forcefully unveiling Yun Qingwu's veil!" Wu Yuer smiled, and at the same time took out a white piece of paper from her pocket and passed it to Fang Zhengzhi.

On it, was a complete copy of the criminal demand order.

"Such an act, a degenerate scum of the community, calls out to every scholar and literary person, and unites all the talents to work together and publicly declare themselves enemies with this person! Forcefully stop him from progressing to prevent him from destroying the great reputation that lasted throughout all ages of our Great Xia Dynasty!"

Fang Zhengzhi only had to take one look for his entire expression to change. These words… were too malicious?

"Actually, young master need not worry too much. Even though Chi Guyan had sent out the criminal demand order, but, she drew a baseline for the people! Hence, also leaving a tiny opportunity for young master to live!" Wu Yuer's slender finger gingerly pointed at the last paragraph of the criminal demand order.

Glancing, Fang Zhengzhi also realised the baseline set by the last paragraph of the criminal demand order. In his heart, he naturally knew what the tiny opportunity to live Wu Yuer talked about was.

A tiny opportunity to live…

It was really only a tiny opportunity to live!

"This criminal should be punished to death by everybody, but our towering Great Xia Dynasty has great reputation, how can we act like this criminal? Hence, appealing to all scholars in the world, using thunderous power and proper, open methods to kill this criminal in the Law of Dao examination!"

Isn't this evidently not wanting me to happily participate in the Law of Dao examination? Fang Zhengzhi had an urge to dash up the Heaven Dao Pavilion, and kick Chi Guyan down the clouds from the mountain peak of the Heaven Dao Pavilion.

Proper, open method… what kind of proper, open method was this? And even appealing to all scholars in the world!

Wasn't this a very typical case of asking a bunch of people to gang up on him?

"Young master is participating in the capital examination this time, do you have confidence?" Seeing that Fang Zhengzhi didn't speak further, she slowly drank a cup of fragrant tea, seeming perfectly calm.

"I guess… the River of Trust Capital should be rather bustling this time?" Fang Zhengzhi didn't reply directly, and instead asked in return.

"Within the five constabularies of the Northern Desert, except those not qualified to participate in the capital examination, are all gathered in the River of Trust Capital. I've already prepared everybody's information for young master." Wu Yuer nodded, then, took out a thick envelope from her pocket and passed it to Fang Zhengzhi's hands.

Fang Zhengzhi reached out and received it, then suddenly had an urge to swear. This thickness, wasn't it a little too exaggerated?

Chi Guyan!

It was just a kick, and already eight years… you actually still haven't forgiven me?

Forcing me to death!

Fang Zhengzhi naturally couldn't give up the capital examination. Or, it could be said that even if he gave up the capital examination, Chi Guyan would have other methods to send him into submission once again.

He suddenly felt somewhat regretful. Eight years ago, he should have put some poison in that Fire Plume Chicken…

Sigh, Chi Guyan's life in exchange for the entire Southern Mountain Village being killed? After a thought, Fang Zhengzhi felt that even if he was given another opportunity, he still wouldn't be able to do it.

"I wish to know one thing, whose idea, and whose drawing was the portrait on the city gate by?" Trouble had already come, hence Fang Zhengzhi could only face it head-on.

"Kang Xingping, number eighty in the Hidden Dragon Roll, Divine Seal Late Stage, direct line of descent in the Kang family, the ninth son!" Wu Yue seemed to have prepared long ago, and in one breathe revealed Kang Xingping's information.

"Where is he now?"

"Serene Ink Pond!"

"Why… are you helping me?"

"Because, I wish to personally see whether the number one lecher who could cause the number one scholar Chi Guyan to personally pass down a criminal demand order really was what she described." Wu Yuer twitched her mouth and smiled slightly.

"Then what do you feel?"

"It's true!"

"Cough cough… Oh, I seemed to remember that you are treating me to a meal, I wonder when are we eating?" Fang Zhengzhi quickly changed the topic.

"He he he…"

The beautiful girl shook gently, and her smile was like the blooming flower.

In front of the Serene Ink Pond, a pale-faced scholar wearing a white robe, with a jade-green fan in his hands gazed at a line of white curtain falling from a piece of mountain rock and recited loudly.

This scene had a sense of air swallowing the mountains and rivers.

Instantly attracting the countless attentions of people by the side of the Serene Ink Pond. One by one, beautiful women wearing colourful clothes gazed at the man in front of the pond, and chattered in a low voice, their faces seeming like peach blossoms.

"Young Master Kang is indeed a huge talent who entered the Hidden Dragon Roll!"

"Naturally, Kang Xingping is famous for being proficient in both literature and arts, and, is a direct descendant of the Kang family. Whoever marries him would definitely be happy for life!"

"Hey, how can sister say such a thing, so embarrassing!"

A fifteen to sixteen-year-old lady gently covered her face, her two cheeks blushed red with embarrassment. But, her gaze eventually instinctively floated towards the scholar in front of the pond.

"Splash!"

Right at this moment, a loud sound of water rang out, as if a huge piece of hundred-pound rock suddenly smashed into the river.

Immediately after, a few urgent shouts came from beside the pond.

"Hey, who landed into the water!"

"Young Master Kang landed into the water!"

"Oh no, Kang Xingping had fallen into the Serene Ink Pond!"

When a few ladies heard, their flowery expressions instantly changed and gazed towards the source of the sound. At where Kang Xingping initially stood, a fifteen to sixteen-year-old youth stood, standing in the cool breeze, and the blue robe lightly billowing in the wind.

"Sorry, my hands slipped!" The youth calmly gazed at Kang Xingping, whose mouth was agape in shock inside the Serene Ink Pond and spoke softly. Then, instantly turned around and left…

...

"Fang Zhengzhi!"

"It's Fang Zhengzhi!"

There were countless scholars beside the Serene Ink Pond, and very quickly, somebody recognised the true identity of this youth. After all, the entire River of Trust capital had Fang Zhengzhi's portrait pasted all over it, even if one didn't want to recognise him, it was still difficult.

"This is too much? Don't tell me he isn't afraid of offending Kang Xingping by doing this?" Someone instantly expressed his doubt.

Offend? Fang Zhengzhi gazed at the doubtful man, and spitefully twitched his mouth. He was now the public enemy of the entire city, and under the attack of everybody, how would he be afraid of offending people?

Else, was he supposed to act like a baby while everybody attempted to kill him, and hide his entire body inside his shell like a turtle?

"Let the sword fall on my neck and I laugh at the sky, l leave my loyalty and justice behind!"
