Chapter 135: Look at Death in the Eye, Then Be Reborn

Even though at this moment, due to Fang Zhengzhi gritting his teeth, his smile seemed somewhat weird, but he was indeed smiling. Furthermore, he was smiling very happily.

Under the watchful eyes of everybody, Chi Guyan had very politely invited Fang Zhengzhi onto the main seat.

Yet…

Such a scene happened.

Furthermore, it was in front of the officials from the five capitals of the Northern Desert.

In front of all the scholars and youths.

In front of Chi Hou and Mrs Chi…

So brazenly, and so recklessly holding on to Chi Guyan's hand.

This was violation, and the sacrilege of a pure and white lotus!

"He… he grabbed Chi Guyan's hand!"

When this thought finally expanded in everybody's minds, they stared with their eyes rounded. At this moment, the entire atmosphere at the feast was frozen, and people even forgot to breathe.

Chi Hou's eyes instantly turned round. As the guardian of the five capitals of the Northern Desert, who won his reputation through defeating the northern barbarians, the iron-blooded Chi Hou had revealed an expression of shock that he had never revealed on the battlefield.

Mrs Chi was also similarly taken stunned.

As a woman filled with elegance and dignity, this was the first time she felt as if her heart had jumped into her throat.

Her own daughter being violated? Furthermore, it was by a country bumpkin, and violated in front of the officials and youths from the five capitals of the Northern Desert?!

As a mother, she couldn't accept it. Even if she wasn't a mother, she would also be absolutely unable to accept it…

All the officials were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.

The officials who were just happily discussing about the tiger daughter of the powerful general, and the Double Dragon Roll Champion, at this moment, felt as if they had bitten off their tongues. Or perhaps, even if they had really bitten it off, they wouldn't feel a thing.

Because…

The scene in front of them had already completely exceeded their imaginations.

The scholars were stupefied, and completely stunned. The pride of the Heavens in their hearts, second to none in the Great Xia Dynasty, the number one talented girl, Double Dragon Roll Champion, future number one marshal of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Was held by the hand by a poor someone from the villages?!

Nobody could accept such a blow…

Because, their hearts had really shattered!

Even Yan Xiu was so shocked by Fang Zhengzhi's actions that his jaws dropped. If the previous time, when Fang Zhengzhi suddenly reached out to unveil Yun Qingwu's veil only caused him to be somewhat curious.

Then, this scene in front of him wasn't something which a simple 'curiosity' could explain.

Because…

The other party wasn't Yun Qingwu anymore. Instead, it was the Divine Constabulary's daughter, Chi Guyan!

"You dare!"

"Scum, oh my Heavens… if such a lecher is allowed to go on like this, even the sun and the moon would be punished!"

"This is audacious to the extreme?! How can such a person exist?!"

After the silence, it was a frightening outbreak of horror. All of the officials were filled with a powerful sense of coldness, nobody would tolerate such an incident.

Especially if such an incident occurred in front of their eyes!

Hence, the officials moved. Lu Yusheng also moved.

Even Chi Hou had already tightened his fist, his expression dark. He had decided that he must ensure that this person who dared violate his precious daughter was chopped and burnt to ashes!

The officials also stood up from their seats, and were determined to reduce this saint-violating scum into ashes.

However, as the person involved in the incident, Fang Zhengzhi didn't pay any attention to the anger around him, instead, he smiled and continued to caress Chi Guyan's hand…

It was very smooth, and very soft, just like silk. It was indeed very tender…

In reality, when he did this, he had already known that there would be such consequences. But, does it matter? Anyway, he had already stood on the high mountain, why not stand at its peak?

That was what he did. Furthermore, he did it calmly and comfortably.

Despite facing the mountain landslide-like strength from Chi Guyan when she withdrew her hand…

He still didn't let go.

At that moment, Fang Zhengzhi held on with his life.

As long as he held on, he would never let go!

"Are you done touching?" Chi Guyan's expression was very serious, and contained a chill that entered the bones.

"No!" Fang Zhengzhi shook his head lightly.

"You… aren't afraid of dying? Or perhaps, you don't even care about the life and death of your parents and the entire Northern Mountain Village?" Chi Guyan didn't attempt to struggle further, but, this didn't mean that she allowed Fang Zhengzhi to hold on like this. But, she really wanted to know, what was this shameless bastard in front of her thinking?

"I'm afraid!" Fang Zhengzhi's tone was very sure.

"Then, you still dare to do such a thing?!" Suddenly, a powerful air emanated from Chi Guyan's body. She knew that Fang Zhengzhi was speaking the truth, but that was exactly the reason she couldn't understood.

"Because I'm afraid of dying, that's why I did this!"

"Reason?"

"Look at death in the eye, then be reborn!" Fang Zhengzhi suddenly kept his smile, and looked at Chi Guyan very seriously, and looked at that pair of bright eyes.

A strange glow flashed in Chi Guyan's eyes. She didn't need any further explanation from Fang Zhengzhi, she had already understood the meaning behind his words.

"You think I won't kill you?"

"If you wanted to kill, eight years ago, I would have already been dead. Now… I would have died long ago!"

Chi Guyan remained silent, as if thinking of something. She didn't want to admit that she had lost to this shameless bastard in front of her, but, she indeed lost once again.

"I can only help you block off the snowstorm at the surface!"

"That's enough!"

"But, in order to achieve this, it isn't enough for just me to agree! I believe my father lord. My mother, the officials from the Northern Desert five capitals and the scholars under the skies would all require a logical reason."

"Didn't you already think of it?"

"I indeed had thought of it, but unfortunately… you can't do it!"

"How would you know if you didn't try?"

"You really wish to try?"

"Of course, I want to try!" Fang Zhengzhi felt that Chi Guyan's question was simply nonsense. Did he still have a choice at this time? Try, and there will still be an opportunity to live. Don't try, and his head would likely fall to the ground immediately.

Chi Guyan nodded, and didn't continue asking. Instead, she slowly turned her body around and stood shoulder to shoulder with Fang Zhengzhi.

"Let's go!" This time, Chi Guyan's voice was very loud, so loud that everybody in the entire venue could hear her very clearly.

"Alright!" Fang Zhengzhi's voice was just as loud. This time, he didn't hesitate, and instead, holding Chi Guyan's hand, walked towards the direction of the main seat with a light smile on his face.

In an instant.

The scene that was initially about to explode suddenly quietened down.

The officials who stood up due to their anger and charged towards Fang Zhengzhi stopped, their actions just like a statue. Furthermore, those whose jaws dropped due to their anger were simply unable to close it back.

What had they just seen?

Chi Guyan…

Actually allowed Fang Zhengzhi to hold her hand.

She didn't resist?!

Furthermore, she didn't even cry out at all…

How was this possible?

"Boom!"

Everybody felt as if they had been struck by lightning. Their eyebrows, beards, and hairs all stood up straight. Nobody would ever have thought that such a thing would happen.

At this moment, Chi Hou's eyeballs evidently popped out more than usual.

He knew too clearly his precious daughter's personality, strong and firm. If she was unwilling, not mentioning one Fang Zhengzhi, even ten Fang Zhengzhi-s wouldn't be able to convince her.

What was this about?

Chi Hou looked at the dignified and elegant Mrs Chi beside him, and Mrs Chi also looked back at him. The shock in her eyes were even greater than that of his.

An extremely complicated look flashed in Yan Xiu's eyes. He couldn't believe it, but, he chose to believe. Because, the person that held Chi Guyan's hand, was his friend.

Due to running too fast, Lu Yusheng had already reached a distance less than two meters away from Fang Zhengzhi.

But, now, Lu Yusheng's face was flushed red, and his mouth was agape, just as if somebody had forced a lump of feathers down his throat, choking him so badly that veins popped out from his throat.

In his hands, he still held a sword.

That was a sword that glowed with an icy glint. But, that sword was forcefully halted in mid-air. He couldn't bring it down, nor could he withdraw it.

"Huh? Young Master Lu… are you going to do a sword performance?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the sword Lu Yusheng raised, and a curious expression formed on his face.

"Sword? Performance?!" Lu Yusheng's throat moved.

Who did a sword performance? Naturally, it was done by actors for officials to laugh at. As the ninth son of the grand Battle Constabulary, doing a sword performance at this feast?

Lu Yusheng felt that he definitely couldn't bear this insult.

But, he still bore it. Because, he saw Chi Guyan standing beside Fang Zhengzhi, as well as the icy glint that shone in Chi Guyan's bright eyes.

"Since cousin has such elegance, why not perform The Drunken Beauty?" Chi Guyan looked at Lu Yusheng silently. Her voice was as crisp as the cries of a hundred birds.

"The Drunken Beauty?!" Lu Yusheng felt that no matter what, he couldn't link himself with this role. After all, that was a girl.

"If cousin isn't here to do a sword performance, don't tell me you are here to harm people with the sword?" Chi Guyan's tone suddenly changed, and naturally emanated a powerful aura which even Fang Zhengzhi could clearly sense.

Lu Yusheng instantly trembled, and the sword in his hands almost fell to the ground.

He looked at Chi Guyan, then looked at Fang Zhengzhi. His face alternated between blue and white, and finally, raised his head to the sky, and sighed deeply.

"Young Master Fang is indeed clever. I just happened to want to do a sword performance, furthermore, the performance is exactly The Drunken Beauty that cousin had mentioned!" When Lu Yusheng said this, his entire face had already turned from red to green.

That…

Was really caused by suffocation.

"Then, I'll have to trouble young master!" Fang Zhengzhi gave him a praise, then, holding Chi Guyan's hand, went past Lu Yusheng and continued walking to the main seat.

At this moment, time seemed to have stopped…

Everybody looked at Fang Zhengzhi, as if they had seen a live monster!
