Chapter 66: Three Nones on the Roll

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Compared to the densely packed names on the Second-Class Roll, the twenty names were naturally much clearer, and could be finished reading in a much faster time. Just as the names finished appearing, the crowd had already finished reading.

"Ha ha ha… there’s no Fang Zhengzhi!"

"He’s neither in the Second-Class Roll, nor the First-Class Roll! Fang Zhengzhi didn’t make the roll!"

"Alas he’s just a faker, Heavens won’t deceive me!"

In an instant, shouts began to arise from the crowd. They felt as happy as if they had entered the First-Class Roll, looking at Fang Zhengzhi as if they were looking at an idiot.

"Zhengzhi, as I said, we must learn to face reality!" At this moment, Li Zhuangshi sighed heavily, but the delight on his face was simply unconcealable.

"Fang Zhengzhi, have you finally given up?" Li Huer also mocked.

Meng Jiangshan once again sighed and gently shook his head. Indeed, this world emphasized one word - power!

"Aiya, Young Master Fang didn’t make the roll?! That’s not right, with Young Master Fang’s talents, how can you not make the roll? I believe that there’s definitely some errors in the marking of the papers, you must request to relook at the paper, ha ha ha…" At this moment, Meng Yushu also couldn’t contain himself anymore. Even though he couldn’t follow up on his plan to cripple Fang Zhengzhi during the combat examination, but being able to see Fang Zhengzhi miss the roll was a very happy occasion indeed.

"Is there a Young Master Fang, Fang Zhengzhi here?" At this moment, the results official spoke.

The initially impassioned crowd were instantly taken aback, then suddenly seemed to have thought of something. Alas, this guy’s misdeeds had already invoked Heaven’s anger and people’s hatred, even the officials had noticed him.

‘He is Fang Zhengzhi!"

"That’s right, quick, arrest him!"

A few enthusiastic examinees quickly pointed out Fang Zhengzhi from the crowd, each of them filled with righteous indignation, their expressions upright and plainspoken.

"You are Fang Zhengzhi?!" The results official at this moment had already arrived in front of Fang Zhengzhi and carefully checked out the fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth dressed in a coarse blue robe standing in front of them. A hint of shock appeared on his face.

"That’s right!" He had already been pointed out by so many people, Fang Zhengzhi was magnanimous. Come at me with whatever problems you have, at the very most, I’ll just run away.

"Young Master Fang’s registration had some problems. In order to act with caution, I wish Young Master Fang can answer some of my questions!" When the results official heard Fang Zhengzhi’s reply, he nodded and continued to ask.

"Ha ha ha… this guy indeed has some problems!"

"Arrest him, arrest him!"

When the examinees heard the result official’s words, they instantly became excited.

Fang Zhengzhi also deliberated. Could it be that he’s faking act was exposed? What should he do then? He must not admit it even if he was hit to death!

"Please ask." Fang Zhengzhi swept his gaze across the surroundings as he replied, searching for the best escape route.

"I am just carrying out my orders, and will ask only two questions. Firstly, which Hall of Dao did young master study in. Secondly, who is young master’s recommender?" After the result official asked, he quietly waited for Fang Zhengzhi’s reply.

At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi was pondering intensely.

These two questions were easy, because he simply didn’t have any. But if he admitted this, it was as if he was confirming the fact that he had snuck into the Law of Dao examinations.

How should he reply?

Just as Fang Zhengzhi was pondering, Li Huer couldn’t hold back anymore.

"I know, I know. He didn’t even enter a Hall of Dao before, and it would simply be impossible for him to have any recommender!" After Li Huer spoke, he shot a provoking gaze towards Fang Zhengzhi.

"Didn’t enter a Hall of Dao before?!"

"Ha ha ha… no recommender!"

"This guy actually participated in the Law of Dao examinations, this is simply humiliating the intellectuals!"

"He is indeed a faker going through motions!"

When the surrounding examinees heard Li Huer’s words, they instantly began to laugh, and started giving names to Fang Zhengzhi such as country bumpkin, straw bag and faker.

Definitely, the title "lecher" wasn’t spared as well.

"Didn’t enter a Hall of Dao before? And without a recommender?" Looking at Li Huer, the result official frowned slightly and then shifted his gaze towards Fang Zhengzhi, as if asking for a confirmation.

"Yes, I indeed self-studied!" Fang Zhengzhi thought for a while, and finally decided to not deny it.

"Ha ha ha… self-study? A person who self-studied participating in the Law of Dao examinations? What a joke!"

"That’s right, if one can self-study and pass the theory examination, I will go and finish drinking the entire River of Trust now! Ha ha ha…"

"The water from the River of Trust only? I can finish drinking all the water from the toilets, ha ha ha…"

The examinees couldn’t control themselves anymore and one by one, began to laugh. The misery from not entering the roll instantly transformed into a powerful sense of superiority.

"Fang Zhengzhi succeeded in self-studying, I respect this! I wish young master wouldn’t take offense at my questions just now. Finally, congratulations Young Master Fang for topping the First-Class Roll!"

"Topping the First-Class Roll?!"

In an instantly, the bustling crowd instantly became silent. All of them felt as if they had been struck by lightning, and remained rooted to the grounds, their expressions unchanging. But, the words of the result official reverberated throughout their ears.

"Congratulations Young Master Fang for entering the First-Class Roll!"

"Entering the First-Class Roll?!"

"Fang Zhengzhi entered the First-Class Roll?!"

"How is this possible? A person who self-studied… entering the First-Class Roll?!"

The initially mocking students instantly felt as if their mouths had been a lump of feathers, their voices were instantly muffled. Each of them stared with their eyes wide open, and their faces flushed with red.

The two people who previously pledged to finish drinking the water from the River of Trust and water from the toilets wore a queer and eccentric expression. Looking at the result official, then looking at Fang Zhengzhi, their mouths were open so wide that it could fit a few fists.

On the other hand, the result official didn’t bother paying any attention to the examinees, who were so shocked that their faces flushed red. Walking directly in front of the First-Class Roll roll stone, he pressed the square-shape stone on his hands onto it.

Instantly, Fang Zhengzhi’s name appeared on the First-Class Roll.

"Fang Zhengzhi, Hall of Dao: None, Recommender: None, Records: None;"

Other than these, below Fang Zhengzhi’s name, there was a register number. That was the number he faked.

The gentle wind beside the River of Trust began to blow lightly.

It blew onto Li Zhuangshi’s wide-opened eyes, and onto Li Huer and Meng Jiangshan’s wide-opened mouth, and of course, blew onto Meng Yushu’s shocked face, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

The wind, was very gentle, and was very cooling.

It was initially an excellent weather, it was cooling and was good enough for one to enjoy the cool breeze at the riverside.

But, at this moment, nobody could feel this in their hearts. Because, they felt hot, so hot that their entire bodies felt as if they were dripping with sweat.

Other than Fang Zhengzhi, everyone else had their mouths agape at this moment.

Because, there was simply nobody who was willing to believe that this was real.

"How is this possible?!"

"How can Fang Zhengzhi enter the First-Class Roll!"

"It’s the First-Class Roll!"

In reality, everybody was willing to believe that they had heard wrongly.

Unfortunately…

Fang Zhengzhi’s name was so clearly displayed on the First-Class Roll, flashing with blinding golden rays. It was like a majestic mountain pressing down so hard onto them that they were completely unable to breathe.
