After saying this, Gui Ao turned and left, saying as he walked: "Human spy, help me pass a message to Fang Yun. If Fang Yun is a real man, he will fight me to the death! If he doesn't dare, I will let him know what the might of the dragon turtle is in the three valleys of continuous battle!!"
After Guiao left, everyone continued to look at the hunting list.
The bounties of other people on the hunting list, apart from the Holy Blood, only had a few additional rewards, two lines at most. But Fang Yun's was different. The additional rewards came one after another, more than ten lines already, and were still increasing.
"This is crazy! The Ancestral God Clan is actually participating in the reward! The Luanmang God Clan is actually rewarding the Ancestral God Path! Oh my god, that's a reward that even a semi-saint would be excited about!"
"The Tiger Roaring God Clan was even more generous. They actually let the clone of the Tiger Roaring God personally guide them for a hundred days! It's almost like rewarding half a drop of the Ancestral God's sacred blood!"
"Wait! Wait! The holy blood of the ancestor god has appeared! It's the holy blood of the ancestor god!" A tiger demon king roared loudly.
Then there was silence.
On the Great Confucian Hunting List, there is an extra drop of the Ancestral God’s Holy Blood on Fang Yun’s Holy Blood Bounty!
"From today on, even if you are a semi-saint, you will kill Fang Yun at all costs!"
Not only was the demon world discussing Fang Yun, but the conversation between Left Prime Minister Liu Shan and Ji Zhibai in the study of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital of Jing State was also related to Fang Yun.
Ji Zhibai hadn't spoken a word since he entered the study and had been kneeling in front of Liu Shan's desk.
Liu Shan also did not speak. He just drank his tea quietly and looked out the window.
"Teacher, Zhibai..."
Liu Shan suddenly spoke up, interrupting Ji Zhibai: "Zhibai, how long have you known me, your master?"
Ji Zhibai closed his mouth and then said, "Seventeen years."
"Seventeen years, or three days?" Liu Shan asked.
Ji Zhibai was silent for a moment, then said, "Seventeen years."
"Which is greater, the grace of raising a child or the grace of educating a child?"
"Both graces are equal."
"Which is more important, the kindness of parents or the kindness of comrades-in-arms?"
"Parents." Ji Zhibai's voice was very soft.
Such an answer means that Zuo Xiang’s kindness is greater than Fang Yun’s kindness.
"Which is more important, integrity or the way of the saints?"
Ji Zhibai was silent for a moment. He said, "Holy Way."
Liu Shan slowly raised his right hand, opened it, and placed it in front of him to observe it carefully.
"My hands are stained with blood, but I never feel guilty. Do you know why?"
“The students don’t know.”
"I am the Holy Way! I am the human race!"
Liu Shan's voice was like the sound of bells and drums, echoing continuously in the study. Books broke into pieces, study treasures turned to ashes, and furniture cracked.
The strange voices containing the authority of the Miscellaneous School and the bewitching power of the Diplomats continued to echo in the study. Finally, they all entered Ji Zhibai's mind, penetrated into his literary palace, and cleansed his literary courage.
Ji Zhibai only felt a buzzing in his head and a sharp pain in his heart, but he soon realized what was going on.
"Master, I am a dull student, but I only understood it today! My love for Fang Yun is a small righteousness, but fighting for the human race is a great righteousness! Saving Fang Yun is a small kindness, but sacrificing oneself for the Holy Way is a great kindness! He Fang Yun is for the human race. You, I, and Zong Sheng are also for the human race, so why should we obey him? He Fang Yun pursues the Holy Way, so we naturally pursue the Holy Way as well. Is he superior to us? Until the end, how can there be victory or defeat? If you don't fight or take, heaven will punish you."
"My disciple, you have finally realized the truth! If you continue on this path, your achievements will surely surpass yours!" Liu Shan praised with a smile. He stepped forward and helped Ji Zhibai up.
Ji Zhibai felt refreshed and his literary courage was clear. He said loudly, "We only suppressed him for three years. We didn't kill him, so how could it go against our conscience? He made me successful and made me a better writer, but I also tried my best in the spring hunt. If I hadn't risked my life to protect him when he was resting, he might have died! Neither of us owes anything to each other! What's more, even if I owe him anything, after suppressing him for three years, I will come to apologize and return it in full!"
"Good! Good! Good! This is my disciple from Liu Shan!"
Ji Zhibai smiled calmly, then gnashed his teeth and said angrily: "Master, you are too kind. Every time I think of Zizhi's death, I feel heartbroken! If he were still alive, we would join forces and within ten years, Jing Kingdom would belong to the three of us, master and apprentice!"
"What a pity. Fang Yun was so self-righteous that he used fire too hastily and burned the Kingdom of Jing. When the first snow fell this year, the demons and barbarians moved south and the Kingdom of Jing was destroyed!"
"In order to prevent Fang Yun from causing any trouble, he must be pinned down in Ning'an County! Master, I have arranged a series of plans! On his first day in Ning'an County, even if his literary reputation remains, he will be ridiculed for running out of ideas."
"Oh? What are you going to do?" Liu Shan listened with a gentle smile.
Ji Zhibai had never expected that his mentor valued him so much and was so serious about him. He immediately said, "There will be a literary gathering on the day he leaves, but this literary gathering is extremely rare..."
After listening to Ji Zhibai's words, Liu Shan nodded and praised, saying: "Yes, this kind of literary gathering is rare. No matter how talented Fang Yun is, he will fail in Ning An. But, you have more than just this plan, right?"
Ji Zhibai smiled even more and said, "There will be a second plan, a third plan, and so on! Fang Yun is indeed a genius, but when he comes to Ning'an, he is nothing more than a plaything in my hand!"
"Then I will wait for your good news!"
When Fang Yun returned to Quan Garden, the whole family was filled with joy. Except for Ao Huang who realized that something big had happened during the Jinshi Spring Hunt, the others could not figure out anything. They only knew that it was a good thing that Fang Yun had returned safely.
Three days of fighting made Fang Yun exhausted, especially the continuous fighting afterwards, which almost made even the middle-aged scholars collapse.
Fang Yun knew that his family was worried about him, so he insisted on chatting for an hour before dragging his tired body into the bedroom to sleep.
Fang Yun did not wake up until noon the next day. He did not even look at the countless letters in the official seal. After breakfast, he relaxed in the Quan Garden and walked around the square pond. Then he returned to the study, holding the official seal in his hand, to read the latest letter.
After reading a few letters, Fang Yun was in a bad mood. It turned out that he was already ranked first on the Great Scholar Hunting List!
Moreover, the blood of the semi-saint in the holy blood bounty has been increased to 4,000 drops, the blood of the great saint has been increased to 2 drops, and the blood of the ancestor saint has been increased to 1 drop. In addition, there are countless additional rewards. In terms of the overall bounty, it is already equivalent to the semi-saint of the human race!
Too dangerous!
However, the good news that followed made Fang Yun feel much better.
It was originally almost impossible for the more than one hundred middle-aged Jinshi who participated in the spring hunt to be promoted to Hanlin, but starting from yesterday, some of them were promoted to Hanlin one after another. In just one night, twenty-three people were promoted directly to Hanlin!
Such a horrifying ratio alarmed the Holy Academy, especially the doctors and engineers who studied literature and the human body. They actually went directly to the Hanlin scholars and conducted in-depth research, hoping to find the secret of promotion to Hanlin.
However, no one knows the specific reason and it can only be attributed to Fang Yun, because the Qi-restoring poems and medical visions make these people most likely to break through, and they were all created by Fang Yun.
The treatment of Hanlin and Jinshi is very different. If these people accumulate their experience and cross this threshold, their chances of becoming a Grand Secretary will be several times higher than that of ordinary Hanlin!
The Lei family sent a letter to question Fang Yun, asking whether the deaths of Lei Li and other four people had anything to do with him, but Fang Yun was too lazy to pay attention.
Because a gag order has been issued, the Lei family still does not know the details, and although they have suspicions, they have no evidence.
Fang Yun looked at the bright spring light outside the window and felt relaxed.
"In half a month, I will be able to take up my post in Ning'an!" (To be continued...)
