This thought quickly vanished from Chi Hou's mind.
Then, he felt like laughing. A poor person from the village who hadn't even entered a Hall of Dao, had already reached his maximum glory in the capital examination.
Even if he really was able to take another step forward, how could he compare with Chi Guyan, who possessed the "Xuan Heavenly Dao Body"?
This promise...
He didn't even have to bother about it. Because, two years later, it would naturally be voided.
Chi Hou thought this way. The officials from the Northern Desert five capitals, as well as all the scholars on the scene thought this way. How can the glow of a fire compare with the brightness of the moon?
"He actually said that he can?!"
"This confidence is indeed shocking, don't tell me that he doesn't find it funny at all?"
"Really shameless! A person who had only reached Star Conglomerate dreaming of defeating Chi Guyan, who possesses the "Xuan Heavenly Dao Body" as well as attained the Heavenly Reflection Peak Stage, in two years?"
The officials of the five capitals of the Northern Desert and the scholars didn't pay attention to Fang Zhengzhi's expression like Chi Hou did. Instead, when they heard Fang Zhengzhi's words, they were instantly filled with despise.
Right at this moment, Chi Guyan, who had all along remained silent, suddenly spoke.
"Since you feel it is possible, that means we have affirmed our promise. Then, please unveil this veil from my face now!"
Chi Guyan's voice wasn't very loud, but, it caused everybody's laughter and chattering to stop completely.
Everybody feel as if they had been struck by lightning. Chi Hou, Mrs Chi as well as the officials and scholars were stunned once again.
Those officials and scholars that spoke a moment ago glanced at one another without their mouth agape.
Because, they would never have thought, Chi Guyan actually believed it?!
Furthermore, she invited Fang Zhengzhi to unveil her?!
How is this possible?
Everybody felt that Chi Guyan didn't have to bother about Fang Zhengzhi, and even didn't have to go according to her promise. Because, this was a promise that could never come true.
Even if she had to honour her promise, all she had to do was to bestow a title upon Fang Zhengzhi. Then, after two years, the promise would naturally be voided.
It simply didn't require such a move.
Was Chi Guyan dumb?
This naturally wasn't possible...
But, Chi Guyan didn't make a smart move, just as if how nobody knew why Chi Guyan would suddenly leave the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
These moves were completely unbelievable.
Don't tell me in her heart, Chi Guyan believes in this promise? Or perhaps, Chi Guyan believes that Fang Zhengzhi would really be able to defeat her?
Everybody quickly dismissed that thought. Because, there was simply nobody who believed that these two possibilities existed.
But...
Other than these two possibilities, what other way was there to explain this incident.
"Guyan… this matter…"
"Father lord, my decision has already been made!" Chi Guyan looked at Chi Hou and immediately cut his sentence short, looking at Fang Zhengzhi with a pair of eyes as bright as stars. The look in her eyes told everybody that Fang Zhengzhi was free to continue.
At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi was slightly bewildered.
What is this all about?
Has Chi Guyan's brain been struck by lightning?
Did a big cabbage suddenly grow in Chi Guyan's brain? In reality, Fang Zhengzhi similarly felt that it was already sufficient for Chi Guyan to announce this promise. Further customs and practices were simply unnecessary.
Because…
Even he himself didn't believe that this was a promise that could be accomplished.
Then, why did she do this?
What are her motives?
Don't tell me it is another trap for me to step into? Fang Zhengzhi was rather hesitant. He really didn't understand what Chi Guyan stood to gain from doing this.
"I don't wish for my fiancé to be humiliated. Even if it is only on the surface, that still cannot be tolerated!" When Chi Guyan saw that Fang Zhengzhi didn't move, her lips parted slightly and a soft voice entered Fang Zhengzhi's ears.
"Fiancé? Humiliated?" Fang Zhengzhi was slightly taken aback. For the first time, he saw a trace of seriousness in Chi Guyan's expression. Because, Chi Guyan's reason was very simple, but, it was truer than any other reason.
"Don't tell me you can't?" Chi Guyan saw that Fang Zhengzhi didn't act, and the mocking look of a lady appeared in her eyes. But, that mocking look disappeared in a flash.
"I can't?!" Fang Zhengzhi didn't know whether Chi Guyan exchanged the word "dare" with "can" on purpose, but this sentence was an insult to any man.
Even though he clearly knew that Chi Guyan was goading him, he still acted without the slightest bit of further hesitation.
Chi Guyan indeed didn't move. Furthermore, she didn't even intend to resist. She stood, just like that, quietly on the spot, giving permission for Fang Zhengzhi to remove the veil on her face.
Hence, a soft veil ended up on Fang Zhengzhi's hand.
Then…
The entire world suddenly brightened up.
Because, the girl that appeared in front of him was really too bright. Fang Zhengzhi had initially thought that Chi Guyan should be very pretty. Ever since young, he had already noticed that she would become a beautiful woman in the future.
But, he had never thought that this beautiful woman would be as stunning as this.
A pair of long eyelashes trembled slightly, with a pair of eyes as bright as stars. Her white and flawless skin radiated a faint sparkle, and her bright, pink lips were as tender as the petals of a flower.
Fang Zhengzhi's mind only contained one sentence.
This girl belonged to the Heavens!
Even though Chi Guyan's current features still appeared somewhat child-like, but her powerful temperament had already been faintly exposed.
If Wu Yuer was the epitome of charm and Yun Qingwu was a combination of elegance and dignity, then, Chi Guyan would be the most stunning stroke of the brush among a million paintings.
She carried a beauty that overlooked the sentient beings of the world, she was the only tree among the sea of a million flowers.
The air in the entire feast froze at this moment. When all of the scholars looked at Chi Guyan, whose appearance had been revealed, they all had one feeling.
A feeling of being completely subdued…
This beauty was enough to melt any form of snow and ice, just like the glorious sun, lighting up everybody's souls. It was something their hearts couldn't resist.
"That's average…" Fang Zhengzhi twitched his mouth. Does it matter how pretty she was? She isn't even my type.
"Looks like you are very blind!" Chi Guyan impolitely returned a sentence. Her soft, pink lips parted slightly, allowing a sweet breath to escape.
That fragrance caused everybody to feel as if the person in front of them was a beautiful flower.
"I'm blind?!" Fang Zhengzhi wanted to retort, but suddenly felt as if there was something wrong somewhere. Because, he actually felt that Chi Guyan seemed rather familiar.
I seem to have seen her somewhere before?
Eight years ago?
But, at that time, she was still a kid. She simply didn't look like her grown-up self, how is it possible that I've seen her before? Where did I see her?
As Fang Zhengzhi thought, the officials of the Northern Desert five capitals were already completely stunned. Chi Guyan had really allowed Fang Zhengzhi to unveil her?
Isn't this unbelievable?
Most importantly…
Why did their conversation feel like the argument between a young couple?
How can things be like this?
At this moment, Chi Hou also looked at Mrs Li. A similar confusion was evident in both of their eyes. Neither of them knew what Chi Guyan was thinking.
"Right, can I invite a friend to come over and sit?" Fang Zhengzhi didn't continue thinking where he had seen Chi Guyan before. Because, he had just met the gaze of Yan Xiu, who was sitting in the strange corner with his eyes wide open.
At this moment, if one described Yan Xiu as completely calm and maintaining his cold expression, that was impossible. Because, the incidents today had happened too suddenly.
So suddenly that even he wasn't able to react…
"Definitely! Now, you are already half a master of the Divine Constabulary, this is your entitlement!" Chi Guyan replied without even bothering to think.
As she had just said, no matter what happened two years ago, at least at this moment, Fang Zhengzhi was by name Chi Guyan's finance. Hence, nobody could look down upon him in this Divine Constabulary.
"My friend naturally will be your friend. Let's sit together?"
"Yes."
Chi Guyan nodded lightly. Then, she walked very naturally to Fang Zhengzhi's side and lightly wrapped one hand around Fang Zhengzhi's hand. Her expression was very calm.
Just like that, the two of them walked shoulder to shoulder towards Yan Xiu's direction.
Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan didn't walk very fast. But, every step they took produced the clear sound of footsteps. Because, at this moment, the entire world was silent.
Nobody spoke. They had even almost forgotten to breathe.
Because, the scene in front of them had truly exceeded their imaginations, causing their brain to completely lose its ability to think.
If it was said that when Fang Zhengzhi held Chi Guyan's hand and walked towards the main seat not too long ago already caused people's jaws to almost drop to the ground.
Then, now…
Chi Guyan taking the initiative to wrap her hand around Fang Zhengzhi's arm was undoubtedly like a loud and clear slap to their faces, whipping upon the faces of the Northern Desert five capital officials as well as the scholars.
Chi Guyan used her actions to tell officials from the Northern Desert five capitals as well as the scholars present on the scene that now, Fang Zhengzhi was her, Chi Guyan's, fiance.
In the Divine Constabulary.
Fang Zhengzhi was the master. His status and position were something they couldn't compare to, and had no way to compare to.
At this moment, Lu Yusheng was still standing at the path. He had already prepared to carry on with his sword performance. However, at this moment, the sword of his hand that flashed with an icy glow had left his hand.
"Clang!" It fell onto the ground.
As for his mouth, it was opened so widely that it could fit a fist.
He didn't dare to believe what was happening. But, he had no choice but to believe. Because, this scene unfolded clearly before his eyes, and the distance to him…
Was getting closer and closer.
Closer and closer...
