Chapter 83: Sacred Message from the Heavens
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
As a good man who respected women.
Fang Zhengzhi naturally couldn't allow such horrible things to happen. Hence, as the tea danced in mid-air, he had already reacted. The water poured away couldn't be recovered, but, it could be blocked.
In a flash, Fang Zhengzhi's hand reached out with the speed of lightning, and wanted to block the tea that flew towards the girl's face.
…
Wu Yuer indeed felt slightly shocked. But, that was just a slight shock, even though she was only eighteen this year.
But those who truly knew her, knew how shocking this eighteen-year-old girl's abilities were.
It was just a mouthful of tea.
How could it cause Wu Yuer to be at a loss?
Hence, she only lightly waved her hands to block off that mouthful of tea. Not mentioning one mouthful, even a drip of tea wouldn't be able to touch her face.
But, she had still miscalculated.
When the tea was effortlessly blocked, she realised that she had miscalculated. Because, a hand had already reached forward, then, before she managed to react, that hand had already touched her face…
The entire scene paused for three seconds.
…
Fang Zhengzhi felt a delicate, soft feeling on his hand. A faint air of warmth emanated from the silky-smooth skin, and he suddenly felt that there were alas some things that he wasn't able to control in this world.
For example, he clearly only wished to block the tea.
But he would never have thought that a strange force would push his hands slightly, then, very coincidentally ending up on the girl's face.
Alright…
Fang Zhengzhi had to accept this great feeling on his hand!
Then, he coughed lightly and quickly withdrew his hand.
His expression remained normal. Without a word, he returned back to his seat, as if nothing had happened at all, and that everything returned back to the scene when the girl entered.
Slowly, he poured a new cup of tea for himself and slowly drained it, keeping his pressure under control.
Wu Yuer's eyes blinked. She was somewhat in disbelief as she saw Fang Zhengzhi return back to his seat. Most importantly, Fang Zhengzhi's expression seemed as if it hadn't changed much.
Furthermore, he seemed to have returned to the elegant posture of drinking tea.
How…
Can man be shameless to such an extent? At this time, shouldn't he at least apologise sincerely, or, express his awkwardness and change a topic?
The entire situation became slightly quiet.
Finally, Wu Yuer opened her mouth.
"Seems like this is what bang bang bang means…"
…
All the way until Wu Yuer sat down slowly, Fang Zhengzhi's face didn't turn red, and his heart didn't jump. He remained as calm as a meditating monk.
"I heart that Young Master Fang seems to be interested in the portrait at the city gate?" Wu Yuer spoke again.
"That's right!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded his head lightly, not even mentioning what had just happened. It was not that he didn't want to mention it, but he felt that such awkward things should just go with the wind.
How could he say in front of a girl, I touched you just now, will you blame me? He really couldn't do something as thick-skinned as that.
"Then, have young master heard about the Three Dragon Roll?" When Wu Yuer saw Fang Zhengzhi's calm expression, she had more or less guessed what Fang Zhengzhi was thinking. Instantly, she felt that she was a little too petty.
This thought caused her to feel somewhat stunned.
It was clearing him who had disrespected her, but now, she seemed to feel guilty? This was indeed something strange.
When Fang Zhengzhi saw that Wu Yuer didn't become angry, and instead asked him about the Three Dragon Roll, he felt that this matter should be over.
But, he didn't quite understand, how was the Three Dragon Roll related to the portrait on the city gate?
But, since he was the guest, he couldn't do too many things at his own accord.
"Hidden Dragon, Rising Dragon, Golden Dragon, make up the Three Dragon Roll!" Fang Zhengzhi replied.
"Indeed, then do you know what is the meaning of this Three Dragon Roll?" When Wu Yuer relaxed, she poured herself a cup of fragrant tea and sipped lightly, as if not rushing to return back to the main topic.
Fang Zhengzhi shook his head. He only knew that the Great Xia Dynasty had created the Three Dragon Roll, but, as for its meaning, he actually didn't know. The only thing he knew was that the Three Dragon Roll represented the ranking of different abilities.
"The Hidden Dragon Roll records young talents below the age of eighteen, while the Rising Dragon Roll sets the age limit to twenty-eight. Also ranked by abilities, the Golden Dragon Roll doesn't limit the age, but, it represents the strongest of abilities." Wu Yuer explained slowly.
Fang Zhengzhi nodded. He knew this as well, but he didn't quite understand what was the point of Wu Yuer discussing these.
"Young Master knows how the Three Dragon Rolls are ranked, then, does Young Master know about a prophecy from eight years ago?" Wu Yuer continued.
"What prophecy?"
"Eight years ago, the teachers of the state received a sacred message from the Heavens, appearing on the Heaven Dao Tablet. It said: The Double Dragon Roll Champion would shock the world, and bring peace to the world!
"The Double Dragon Roll Champion would shock the world, and bring peace to the world?" When Fang Zhengzhi heard this, he suddenly thought of a name in his heart. A name that was deeply ingrained in him.
Double Dragon Roll Champion, Chi Guyan!
"I believe young master had already guessed who this sacred message is referring to?" When she asked, her gaze instinctively glanced into a certain direction.
That direction, was where the Heaven Dao Pavilion resided.
"Double Dragon Roll Champion, Divine Constabulary Chi Guyan!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
"That's right. Even though nobody knows where the peace written in the sacred message refers to the battle between the human race and the demon race, or the Emperor position in the Great Xia Dynasty, but, the current Emperor had long announced that the Double Dragon Roll Champion will be able to control all the armies under the sky, and given the title Heaven Army General!" Wu Yuer explained once again.
"Regrettably, Chi Guyan isn't that yet." Fang Zhengzhi said the truth. Even though Chi Guyan was the Double Dragon Roll Champion, but she wasn't the Heaven Army General.
"Actually, she can be that! Since a year ago when Chi Guyan attained the Double Dragon Roll Champion, our Emperor had already expressed his intentions to give her the title of Heaven Army General. But, Chi Guyan, citing that ten years isn't up yet, rejected it, then secluded herself in the Heaven Dao Pavilion, far away from the Imperial Government and away from any powerful factions." A rare respectful tone appeared in Chi Guyan's voice.
"She is very smart!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded. He believed that what Wu Yuer said was true.
"Everybody considered Chi Guyan's actions noble and virtuous, yet young master claimed that she is smart. Looks like young master and Chi Guyan are both smart people!" A glimmer of shock appeared on Wu Yuer's face for the first time.
"Are you praising yourself?" Fang Zhengzhi smiled lightly.
"Ha ha… I am just agreeing with young master's view!" Wu Yuer smiled lightly as well, then continued. "Even though Chi Guyan's actions secluding herself from the world are extremely smart, but, two years later, the ten years would be up and when that time comes, Chi Guyan would have to resign to fate, become the Heaven Army General and become a legendary beauty!"
"But, I still don't know, how is this related to the portrait on the city gate?" No matter how powerful Chi Guyan was, Fang Zhengzhi didn't believe that the Runaway Lolita kicked by him eight years ago into the river would have any relation to him.
