Then, his leg that was halfway into the constabulary gate stopped in mid-air.
Chi Guyan returned?!
Fang Zhengzhi suddenly felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck from the sky. Wasn't it already agreed that she was practising in the Heaven Dao Pavilion? Where was the trust between people?
Then…
Can I run now.
"Young Master Fang, please come inside. Missus had specially instructed to serve Young Master Fang well when he enters!" When the servant saw Fang Zhengzhi pause, he instantly felt somewhat confused.
Even though he was spiteful of Fang Zhengzhi's gift list, but, he didn't dare to be spiteful of Fang Zhengzhi himself. After all, this was the character who had just attained the River of Trust Capital double roll champion.
Furthermore, Chi Guyan had indeed instructed that they mustn't offend him.
Else, why would he, a little servant, risk infuriating the ninth son of the Battle Constabulary, Lu Yusheng, just because of Fang Zhengzhi's words.
Fang Zhengzhi turned around. Chi Guyan actually had special instructions for him.
Something is wrong!
But, once he turned around, Lu Yusheng appeared in front of Fang Zhengzhi again.
"Young Master Fang, don't tell me you don't dare to enter?" A cold smile formed on Lu Yusheng's lips. He knew very clearly how much Chi Guyan hated this person in front of him.
Lecher, shameless, gathering every scholar under the skies to prevent his advance.
Such hatred wasn't something an average person could enjoy.
"Idiot!" Fang Zhengzhi huffed again, then, entered the constabulary.
The cold smile on Lu Yusheng froze once again, and a gaze black as night flashed in his eyes, and his two hands instinctively tightened into a fist. Country bumpkin, let me see how long you can stay happy!
…
After entering the constabulary gate, it was deep as the sea.
Fang Zhengzhi had never entered the constabulary gate, hence, he really felt very deep now. Right after entering the gate, he felt as if he had stepped into a maze.
The paths were bending and winding, and each of them led to a house.
And, most importantly, every house looked more or less the same.
Without a servant familiar with the path, he really felt that he wouldn't be able to come back out.
Along the way, the fragrant aroma of flowers filled the air, and the jade green pines made a faint sound. Compared to the well-guarded situation outside the door, this place was evidently another world altogether.
After walking for almost fifteen minutes.
A middle-aged man wearing a big robe went up to them.
"Young Master Yan Xiu is here, the person beside you… should be Young Master Fang, Fang Zhengzhi, right?" The middle-aged man looked at Yan Xiu, and a genial smile appeared on his face.
"Greetings, Housekeeper Wen." When Yan Xiu saw the middle-aged man, he made a slight bow.
Fang Zhengzhi had initially disliked such customs, but, since he had already entered, there was no point in being special. After all, all he wanted to do now was to safely finish a meal.
Hence, Fang Zhengzhi also bowed slightly.
When Housekeeper Wen saw this, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes, he even seemed to be somewhat shocked. After all, the outside rumours had claimed that Fang Zhengzhi was a lecher who didn't understand customs.
"This time, lord has directly set the great feast outside the Heavenly Treasure Hall, both of you, please come with me!" Housekeeper Wen returned a bow to Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu, then explained.
Outside the Heavenly Treasure Hall?
Fang Zhengzhi was somewhat curious about the Heavenly Treasure Hall. After all, this was one among the three thousand parallel dimensions in the Law of Dao.
I wonder what's special about it.
Yan Xiu's expression remained very calm, as if he had already guessed it.
…
Under the guidance of Housekeeper Wen, Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu once again passed by a corridor completely paved with white jade, then, began to be able to hear some lively chattering.
Evidently, they had arrived at the location of the feast.
But, Fang Zhengzhi was somewhat confused. He could clearly see guests at the constabulary door, yet, the entire way here, other than the servants and maids of the constabulary, he didn't see any other guests.
"There are quite a few roads in the constabulary. In order to allow guests to enjoy different kinds of sceneries, the roads taken for this feast were specially chosen!" Housekeeper Wen seemed to have understood Fang Zhengzhi's suspicion.
Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
Even though he hadn't said a word, but Housekeeper Wen was still able to understand what he was thinking. From this point alone, it could be seen that the housekeeper of the Divine Constabulary wasn't as simple as he thought.
"The seats of you two young masters had already been arranged, but…" When Housekeeper Wen brought Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu to the entrance, he gazed towards Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu, seeming somewhat hesitant.
"Is there a problem?" Yan Xiu opened his mouth and asked.
"The status of you two young masters are somewhat different, based on the arrangements of the constabulary, I fear you wouldn't be able to sit together." Housekeeper Wen replied.
"Oh, then please arrange my seat based on Fang Zhengzhi's seating location." Yan Xiu nodded to show his understanding.
The constabulary naturally had its own rules.
The different statuses and natures of the guests naturally were already arranged for.
Yan Xiu came from a noble family, hence he understood this logic. Thus, he also knew that it was difficult to go from low to high, but, there wasn't such a big problem going from high to low.
"Then Young Master Yan Xiu will have to sacrifice!" Housekeeper Wen nodded, and didn't speak further, directly bringing Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu into the door.
Fang Zhengzhi didn't have any opinions. He was just here for a meal; did it matter where he sat?
If he really sat at the main seat of the Divine Constabulary, then that wasn't very possible. Moreover, Chi Guyan had returned. In view of his safety, he felt that the stranger the position of his seat was, the better…
Entering the door.
Fang Zhengzhi instantly felt as if he had walked into a vast sea of books. Rows of antique tables were placed in the centre, and around them hanged various kinds of classical landscape paintings.
The great feast hadn't started yet, hence, there were scholars in brocade robes looking at the paintings.
Occasionally, some even recited a few verses of poems, attracting a round of praise from all around.
Fang Zhengzhi's appearance didn't cause any great movements. Because, only a few people had noticed these two people, then, shock appeared in their eyes.
Because…
Everybody knew that Chi Guyan had sent out the criminal demand order.
Based on normal logic, Fang Zhengzhi shouldn't participate in this feast. After all, compared to the opportunity of entering the Heavenly Treasure Hall, life was definitely more important.
Yan Xiu's coldness indeed saved Fang Zhengzhi quite some trouble. At the very least, nobody had mocked him like Lu Yusheng did.
Then, Fang Zhengzhi really understood what was called a strange corner.
Because, that was the strangest seat in the entire venue.
A huge tree completely blocked the view of the main seat. When one discussed about admiring the scenery, such a seat was definitely the best seat in the entire feast.
Because, this seat was almost able to enable one to admire of all the natural scenery around.
But, how many people participating in the feast were here to admire the scenery? Each of them all wished to be as close to the main seat as possible, in order to interact with the important officials in the government.
"Young Master Fang, here…"
"Very good!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded. This was the kind of seat he wanted.
If the Divine Constabulary feast didn't have fixed seating, if he chose, he would also definitely choose this. It was a feast, hence, the better the scenery, the more comfortable one would be.
"Not bad." Yan Xiu also nodded.
"Then, I'll have to sacrifice both of you young masters!" Housekeeper Wen once again bowed towards Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu, then, turned around and left to continue entertaining other guests.
Not too long later, Housekeeper Wen appeared at the door again. This time, the person he guided over was Lu Yusheng.
Other than Lu Yusheng, two men wearing brocade robes stood beside him. Evidently, these should be people whose statuses were rather high, such as young masters.
Because, once they entered the door, Housekeeper Wen directed them towards a location near the main seat.
On the other hand, Lu Yusheng revealed a humble expression.
But…
This humble expression quickly turned into a joyful surprise. Because, he had, very luckily, seen Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu sitting in the strange corner.
Then. Lu Yusheng, bringing along the other two people, walked towards Fang Zhengzhi.
"Oh… sitting here? Isn't it a little too far? Isn't that a little disrespectful of Young Master Fang's double roll champion status? Housekeeper Wen… how can you arrange for Young Master Fang to sit here?" Lu Yusheng gazed at Housekeeper Wen, who was standing behind him, and seemed to be slightly blaming him.
"The arrangement of the seats had always been arranged based on status, I hope Young Master Lu can understand." Housekeeper Wen naturally understood Lu Yusheng's intent, and a trace of worry appeared on his face.
He didn't wish for such a thing to happen. But, he had no way of preventing Lu Yusheng from greeting Fang Zhengzhi.
"I see, I had wronged you, Housekeeper Wen!" Lu Yusheng replied Housekeeper Wen very apologetically, then looked at Fang Zhengzhi again.
Just as he prepared to speak.
Fang Zhengzhi's voice rang out.
"Idiot, scram!"
"What… what did you say?" Having been scolded two times in a row by Fang Zhengzhi, Lu Yusheng had controlled himself. This time, he was scolded again, and furthermore, he was scolded in front of his two companions.
His expression naturally didn't seem too happy.
"Young Master Lu, the great feast is about to start!" Sensing this atmosphere, Housekeeper Wen knew that it was more or less time for him to hold this back.
"He's just a country bumpkin, to be of the same level as this guy, wouldn't Young Master Lu lose your identity? Let him eat here quietly, we will go sit at the front!" The man standing at the side, wearing an ink green brocade robe, also spoke. He looked at Fang Zhengzhi with a haughty look.
"That's right, anyway, sitting here, nobody would be able to see him. Isn't that right?" Ha ha ha…" The other man in a brocade robe also laughed.
Hearing their words, Lu Yusheng's chest rose and fell a few times, then, finally held back.
He also knew the importance of this Divine Constabulary's great feast. No matter how angry he was, he still wouldn't be able to attack Fang Zhengzhi in this feast.
"Hmph! Watch out in the Heavenly Treasure Hall!" Lu Yusheng huffed coldly, turned around, and left.
"Idiot!" Fang Zhengzhi replied, his expression filled with disdain.
"Can… can you at least change a phrase?" Lu Yusheng's stopped in his tracks again. Turning around, his face was hideously dark.
"Idiot!"
