Chapter 507: Yan Xiu a year later

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Fang Zhengzhi didn't regret his decision. Even if the others mocked him, he would still make the same decision again.

When he thought about the one million silvers...

His lips twitched and his heart ached. It felt as though his pockets had just been emptied.

All that silver... that mountainous pile of silver...

"You can betray everyone in the world except for one?" Ping Yang was stunned when she heard this. She never expected that Fang Zhengzhi would say such a thing. Then, she chuckled, her body shaking. "I never expected that someone as shameless as you would be grateful to me for what I did."

"Grateful to you?" Fang Zhengzhi was stunned to see Ping Yang chuckling so happily. His expression froze. Something was wrong.

Did she misunderstand that? How overconfident is she?!

Fang Zhengzhi felt like he should explain himself, but he didn't see a need to. He couldn't say that he did that for Yan Xiu and not Ping Yang.

For starters, he would hurt feelings. Furthermore, the consequences of such a statement were unimaginable!

That was akin to confirming that he had a relationship with the Seven Star Lane. Even though he didn't deny that he had a connection...

The connection was not a strong one.

That being said, he was rather surprised to see that Ping Yang would trust him and bet that much money on something he chose.

Ping Yang did get smarter over the past year. Maybe she really was growing up.

As for the silvers, he was prepared to forgo Yan Xiu's winnings. However, he had to find a way to recoup the silvers from Ping Yang!

Wen Dabao laid on the floor. He was at a loss. He stared at Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang.

He didn't understand what the link was between what Fang Zhengzhi said and what Ping Yang had said. More importantly, what was all that talk about being grateful?

Ninth Prince Lin Yun squinted as he looked at Fang Zhengzhi. Then, he looked at the smiling Ping Yang in confusion.

Yan Xiu seemed rather calm, but his fingers trembled slightly when he heard what Fang Zhengzhi said.

It was a small movement that no one noticed.

As for the rest of the audience...

They were all lost and confused. They had no idea what Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang were saying.

"What did he just say? Was it some famous saying?"

"Nope. I've never heard of it!"

"Neither have I. Perhaps he is consumed by the happiness of winning all that silver."

"Possibly... I'm guessing he's never seen that much silver in his life."

No one could understand what had just transpired, so they decided that Fang Zhengzhi was babbling nonsense.

That being said, they were still in awe at Fang Zhengzhi's luck.

How could he possibly manage to guess that all seven stars would perform?

Everyone looked at Fang Zhengzhi, Ping Yang, and Yan Xiu with awe and envy. However, they couldn't do anything about it.

The seven stars began to perform once again and the atmosphere inside the Seven Star Lane became livelier. In addition, there was a line of dancing and singing ladies who appeared on stage.

The attention of the crowd moved away from Fang Zhengzhi as people began to appreciate the music and the dances. A few continued to look at Fang Zhengzhi, but most decided to just enjoy themselves.

After all, that was what they were here for.

All through the night, the waitresses helped to refill drinks. Fang Zhengzhi's table had quite a few rounds of drinks.

Everyone was thoroughly enjoying themselves.

At that very moment, a commotion could be heard outside the Seven Star Lane. Then, a few hulking figures entered.

Each one of them wore thick rattan armor and had a piece of luxurious leather over their shoulder.

"People from the Southern Region!"

"What are they doing here? Has the Queen of the Southern Region arrived?"

"I doubt it. The Emperor would never let the Queen visit on the same day that he is hosting the banquet. This is probably just a messenger!"

"Mm, Young Master Li makes sense!"

The crowd began to guess who these people were. After all, news that the Queen was visiting the capital had spread like wildfire.

She was probably near the capital by now.

The crowd didn't pay much attention to the messengers.

It was normal for them to come to the Seven Star Lane to immerse in the Great Xia culture since they had come all this way.

If these people were really messengers from the Southern Region, then Fang Zhengzhi was in trouble.

Just as they were thinking about it, the messengers stopped in their tracks and surveyed the room. Their eyes stopped at Fang Zhengzhi.

The Southern Region messengers were in disbelief when they saw Fang Zhengzhi.

The crowd saw the expressions on the faces of the messengers.

They could understand the shock. After all, Fang Zhengzhi was notorious. He had killed their Crown Prince and violated their Queen...

That man had appeared in broad daylight. He was enjoying himself in the Seven Star Lane. The Southern Region messengers were not alone.

A few days ago, the crowd would not have believed this either.

"You have got the wrong man. He is not Fang Zhengzhi. He is Fang Zhengzheng. Chi Hou himself testified to that. Furthermore..." Wen Dabao could tell that trouble was brewing and he tried to defuse the situation.

"Rubbish! Do you think that we are blind? Fang Zhengzhi, we will recognize you even if you are a pile of ashes! You will pay in blood tonight!" The messenger interrupted Wen Dabao.

All the others glared and drew their weapons. No one believed Wen Dabao.

"Is something about to happen?"

"The Queen is about to arrive. If her messengers are harmed, this could be a huge incident!"

"This fella was too arrogant. He knew that the Queen was coming, yet he chose this time to enter the city. The Southern Region doesn't care who testified for him."

The crowd sighed in exasperation but no one stepped forward to help.

They were willing to be 'innocent spectators'. Furthermore, this concerned the Southern Region and no one wanted to implicate themselves.

"This is the capital! There is law and order here! Do you really want to kill him here? Aren't you afraid your Queen will blame you?" Wen Dabao stood in their way.

These were merely messengers?

"What now? Do you need me to kill them for you?" Ping Yang looked at the furious messengers and her lips twitched in scorn.

"Sure." Fang Zhengzhi nodded. Since Ping Yang had just earned so much of his silvers, he was more than willing to let her do something for me.

"Hahaha... you don't have to worry as long as I am around. Wen Dabao, step aside!" Ping Yang chuckled when she heard this. She waved her hand and the Blazing Qilin Spear appeared in her hands.

Her red dress was dancing.

She exuded a domineering aura and her stance did make her seem extremely powerful.

"Yes, your highness!" Wen Dabao scrambled to the back when he heard this.

"Sister, they are ambassadors of the Southern Region, we need to..." Ninth Prince Lin Yun's expression changed. He tried to stop Ping Yang, but it was too late.

Ping Yang thrust her spear outwards.

The flames filled the air like a tsunami, boiling everything in its path. It was much more powerful than it was a year ago.

The Southern Region ambassadors watched on in horror.

They never expected that they would be attacked before they could attack. However, they responded quickly.

A ray of blue light cut through the wall of fire. It was cold and icy, and it split the fire into two. There was some white mist and the flames slowed down.

Everyone was shocked to see this.

A messenger actually managed to block Pin Yang's attack?! After all, Ping Yang was not weak.

Ping Yang was equally shocked.

She had been working hard over the past year and had made great progress. She had wanted to use this opportunity to show off...

But she never expected that her attack would be blocked by a messenger!

"What is happening? How can a messenger be as powerful as me? This is ridiculous!" Ping Yang prepared to strike again.

Another voice rang out at that moment.

"This is Yan Capital! Ignore everything else and take Fang Zhengzhi!"

Two figures immediately sprinted past Ping Yang and lunged at Fang Zhengzhi. They were in front of him within moments.

"Are all their messengers this powerful?"

"Are they really just messengers?"

The crowd was shocked to see the two figures go around Ping Yang. They could accept that one of the messengers was exceptionally powerful.

It was a little ridiculous that the entire squad was that powerful.

That was what they thought. However, they did not step in to help. Part of the reason was that they were not powerful enough.

The messengers in front of them were more powerful than they expected. They were in the Supernatural State at the very least.

Fang Zhengzhi smiled when he saw the two figures charge at him.

Southern Region messengers?

That was a decent choice. Furthermore, they had done their research and put in the effort to disguise themselves appropriately.

However, they couldn't hide their abilities.

Fang Zhengzhi tapped his fingers on the table. He didn't have to move. The person next to him had already sprung into action.

A ray of red light appeared on the ground. It was the color of blood and was filled with an icy aura.

A shrill sound echoed through the air.

It sounded like it had come from the ground.

The music inside the Seven Star Lane stopped and the two charging messengers were rooted to their spot.

It had all happened too quickly. It was almost as though the two of them had run straight into a wall. They couldn't move an inch.

The two of them looked down at their feet and were overcome with shock and awe.

Both of them were stepping on a whirlpool. It was a raging red whirlpool, almost as though a hand had risen from hell to grab their legs and root them to that spot.

"I see!" The two messengers looked at each other, then turned to look at Yan Xiu solemnly.

"Yan Xiu's abilities have improved this much over the past year? He doesn't even look like he's in pain anymore!"

"How powerful! Yan Xiu must be in the Supernatural State!"

The crowd instinctively took a step back when they saw the red light. Each one of them was filled with terror.

Yan Xiu had not stepped foot into the capital ever since he returned to Western Liang over a year ago.

He was already so terrifyingly powerful.

Naturally, everyone was stunned. After all, one year was quite a short time. Such improvement was incredible!

Just as they were thinking about it, the red light flickered and the two whirlpools holding the messengers in place disappeared.

Yan Xiu's expression changed.

The blood drained from his face and he paled.
