"How much… can the demon eye sell for?"

Towards Fang Zhengzhi's thought process, the crowd felt like they had seen a vulgar piece of gold embedded in an extremely precious gem.

Only able to sigh, fabricating objects and messing with people!

…

Of course, in the end, Fang Zhengzhi also wasn't able to dig out the demon eye of the demon youth as a souvenir.

After all, from the dynasty's point of view, they had already caught a live culprit with great difficulty. Imperial Messenger Qin wouldn't bear to stand by the side and let Fang Zhengzhi kill him.

The demon eye was the source of the demon's strength, and also the forbidden land of life.

The La of Dao examinations had ended.

Then, everybody finally managed to react.

Fang Zhengzhi seemed to have achieved the combat examination roll champion?!

This result was something the crowd had never even considered, but, nobody dared to argue against this result.

A person who had already reached the Divine Seal State attaining the roll champion of the county Law of Dao examination's combat examination simply wasn't something debatable. But, what the crowd couldn't understand was how did a person who didn't ever enter the Hall of Dao reach Divine Seal?

"Fang Zhengzhi, is the roll champion of the Law of Dao examination's combat examination, and also the roll champion of the theory examination!" Imperial Messenger Qin's voice echoed about the entire combat arena of the Qingfeng Academy.

"Double Roll Champion?!" At this moment, Li Huer and Meng Jiangshan only wanted to find a hole to bury themselves in. The difference between them and Fang Zhengzhi was really too big.

After which, County Head Wang, as the official of the Huai An County, also expressed his congratulations towards Fang Zhengzhi.

Everything seemed like a matter of course. But the examinees at the venue felt like they were deep inside a dream. From the start to the end, they were unable to belief that this initially despised youth…

Was able to quietly break the record of the Huai An County which hadn't been broken in over thirty years.

Double Roll Champion!

There were people who excelled at theory, and people who excelled in combat. But to be the master of pen and sword, this was exceedingly rare! Even in a bustling ancient city like the Huai An County, this hadn't appeared in dozens of years.

…

Three days later, the wind gently blew in this ancient city of Huai An. But, regardless whether it was a passer-by, or scholars leaving leisurely, everybody was discussing the miracle that happened in this Law of Dao examination.

Normally, a county examination wouldn't receive much attention. But, this Law of Dao examination held in the Huai An County spread like a wild gust of wind across the entire Northern Desert, even to the Imperial Capital.

Because, it was too unbelievable.

A person who had never entered the Hall of Dao, attaining the roll champion in the theory examination, and even defeating a demon during the theory examination, becoming the double roll champion of both the theory examination roll and the combat examination roll.

This was initially a story deserving of praise, to be passed along the streets and alleys.

But, as long as scholars and literary people who had contributed in the arts heard the two words Fang Zhengzhi, they revealed an expression of implacable hatred and misery.

The reason was because Fang Zhengzhi had polluted the purest thing in their hearts. He was a disgraceful and cultured daredevil who forcefully unveiled Yun Qingwu's veil. A lecher!

For such people to sing praises, no matter how much money was involved, it was still difficult!

…

…

Every dynasty always had something glorifying.

For example, in the Great Xia Dynasty, ever since the country was formed, a phrase circulated among the people: One pavilion, four sages, thirteen constabularies.

In the distant mountain peak that rose through the clouds in the Northern Desert, in front of the Golden Hall, the two words - "Heaven Dao" was like a divine spirit that overlooked all living things, emanating a strong sense of dignity.

The Heaven Dao Pavilion, the place where every scholar in the Great Xia Dynasty would give their lives to enter.

And at this moment, in the rear court of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, within a quiet garden, a lady wearing a pink muslin dress with a pair of jet-black eyes seated, gazing at the sand table placed in front of her.

The lady's eyes were extremely bright, as if millions of stars were twinkling within. It was like the Milky Way, and also like a rippling jade pool.

Her hair was jet-black, like a waterfall, falling to her waists. There were no golden hairpins nor jade ornaments decorating her hair, except for a freshly-picked tree peony diagonally tucked into her hair, which was delicate and brightly-coloured.

Her long eyebrows trembled slightly, and a faint sparkle radiated from her flawless fair skin. Her soft lips were as tender and lovely as a petal.

At her waist, was a snow-white fur belt, perfectly bringing out the lady's exquisite figure.

If people passed by, they would definitely sigh. This lady belonged to Heaven, and was almost impossible to meet in the mortal world. Even though the lady's features still seemed rather young and tender, but her powerful temperament faintly emanated from her body.

"Double Roll Champion?" The lady's lips parted slightly, with a voice that was as clear as a skylark.

"After not meeting for eight years, the first information I received was that he had attained the double roll champion. Looks like this little bastard's eight years weren't wasted! But what is this incident of forcefully unveiling Yun Qingwu's veil at the Hundred Flower Gathering about? His personality still hadn't changed!"

"Next, this little bastard should be going to the River of Trust Capital to participate in the capital examinations? Capital examinations… I believe the River of Trust Capital alone actually won't be able to stop him! Alright, seeing that this little bastard had worked hard, I will give him a 'present'!"

"Yuer!"

"Present!" Outside the garden, a lady dressed in a green dress instantly walked in.

"Prepare the writing materials, I'll write a letter to my Lord Father."'

"Roger!"

…

…

While Fang Zhengzhi's name was from the Huai An county, causing him to become a famous character, Fang Zhengzhi was happily trying on clothes.

"Young Master Fang, this brocade clothes seems to match young master's temperament perfectly!" The shopkeeper fawned on Fang Zhengzhi.

Of course, the reason the shopkeeper would do this wasn't exactly very related to Fang Zhengzhi himself. After all, merchants had their own merchant circles.

But, if the person accompanying Fang Zhengzhi was Yan Xiu, then things were completely different.

"I prefer robes! It's freer, and more elegant!" Fang Zhengzhi expressed his own opinion.

"Young Master Fang indeed has an eye for beauty. I just happen to have a valuable handmade robe that I kept preciously. Its texture is soft and has a new and original style. It is a perfect match with Young Master Fang's free-spirited personality!" The shopkeeper had owned the shop for dozens of years and the client had to be God himself.

Very quickly, a dark blue robe was taken out. It was tender and silky, and its texture was extremely soft. Furthermore, the string used were all silver threads, and was indeed unusually elegant.

"Not bad!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded his head, satisfied.

...

"Are you participating in the capital examination in the River of Trust Capital?" Yan Xiu glanced at the strong bearded man, then shifted his gaze to Fang Zhengzhi.

"Of course!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded.

"Then, let's meet at the capital examination!"

"You are participating in the River of Trust capital examination as well?" When Fang Zhengzhi heard Yan Xiu's words, he became somewhat curious. He initially expected Yan Xiu to participate in the county examination, but didn't see him in the end.

"Yes!" Yan Xiu nodded.

"Then can you attain Roll Champion?" Fang Zhengzhi seemed rather regretful.

"Not necessarily!" Yan Xiu shook his head.

"Alright, see you at the capital examination!" Fang Zhengzhi smiled. Capital examination? Yan Xiu? Who knows what the result would be.
