Gate of God Chapter 132: Chi Guyan’s Thoughts

Chapter 132: Chi Guyan’s Thoughts
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
If there was one thing in this world that Lu Yusheng couldn't stand.
It was definitely being scolded by a country bumpkin, who to him, occupied a much lower position than he did in his heart. Furthermore, it was a continuous scolding. Most importantly, he even used the same term to scold him continuously.
"You dare call me an idiot?!" Lu Yusheng almost couldn't control himself anymore.
Fang Zhengzhi, on the other hand, was filled with indifference. Anyway, the other party had already disliked him once they met, hence, naturally there wasn't such a thing as offending him.
"Don't tell me you want to fight? This is the great feast of the Divine Constabulary, can you show some character?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Lu Yusheng with despise.
"Character?! You are talking to me about character?" The anger in Lu Yusheng's heart rose again. Being lectured by a poor country bumpkin about character was intolerable to him.
But…
In the end, Lu Yusheng didn't have the opportunity to attack.
Because, when the two people beside him saw this, they instantly grabbed Lu Yusheng and pulled him away.
If Lu Yusheng had really caused a commotion in this great feast, that would definitely not be a small matter. They all knew very clearly how important this feast was.
The officials of the five capitals of the Northern Desert were looking, and naturally, Chi Guyan didn't have to be mentioned. Furthermore, they had all received a piece of information. King Duan, Lin Xinjue, had also arrived.
"Release me, all of you, release me…" A desolate tone filled Lu Yusheng's voice.
…
The buzzing fly beside his ear had finally left.
Fang Zhengzhi also had the rare opportunity to enjoy a moment of peace. Even though the scholars around them that witnessed this scene more or less seemed to want to enjoy a good show, but, Fang Zhengzhi didn't bother about these.
Instead, he began to admire the surrounding landscape with great interest.
Where's the Heavenly Treasure Hall that they mentioned?
Why can't I see it…?
Fang Zhengzhi looked to the left, then looked to the right. But, other than paintings, there wasn't any great buildings or halls, furthermore, there wasn't even a small pavilion...
"Liar!" Fang Zhengzhi pointed a middle finger towards the direction Housekeeper Wen was leaving in.
He was still somewhat curious about this Heavenly Treasure Hall. If the pocket dimension was created by man himself, then, who was the person who created a parallel dimension such as the Heavenly Treasure Hall?
Heaven?
Or, was it God?
Don't tell me that deities really existed in this world?
…
As he thought, a ritual music sounded out beside his ear.
When the officials and scholars heard this music, they returned to their respective seats one after another. Fang Zhengzhi guessed that this signified the start of the feast.
Then, he swept his gaze across the arrangement of seats.
On the left, it was mostly official robes. That should be the place where the officials from the five capitals of the Northern Desert sat.
And on the right, scholars wearing various kinds of brocade robes sat.
The main seat was set up at the most easternmost part of the small courtyard. It was said that purple clouds came from the east, and people also respected the east as king. Thus, that should be the reason why the main seat was set up in the east side.
From the main seat all the way to where Fang Zhengzhi was, his seat seemed to be the last one.
Luckily, it wasn't an examination, and there was no elimination of the last person. Furthermore, the dishes should all be the same, and he shouldn't receive different treatment due to the difference in seating.
Furthermore, the scenery here was beautiful, and the environment was peaceful, hence, Fang Zhengzhi didn't mind at all.
Very quickly, Fang Zhengzhi realised that Lu Yusheng's seat seemed to be at the second level among the scholars, and wasn't the first. He remembered that Lu Yusheng had the status of being the son of the thirteen constabularies.
Then, based on the seating arrangement of the Divine Constabulary, what was the status of the first level? Don't tell me that there are people more important than the thirteen constabularies here?
"If, based on the seating arrangement, which level will you be sitting at?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yan Xiu.
"Temporarily at the second level." Yan Xiu thought for a while and replied.
"Temporarily?" Fang Zhengzhi heard the implied meaning behind Yan Xiu's words.
"Yes, two years later, I will be at the first level." Yan Xiu added. He didn't state the reason, but his tone was confident.
Fang Zhengzhi nodded. He knew that Yan Xiu wouldn't lie to him, but, he didn't quite understand why must the time be set two years later?
Just as he prepared to ask, a wave of clear laughter rang out.
Immediately after, a group of people walked in from outside the courtyard door.
The person in front of was a middle-aged man, wearing a dark purple official robe that had a huge fanged beast sewn onto it. On the forehead of the huge beast, there was a bright red triangular seal.
He seemed to be around forty years of age. His eyes were like that of a tiger, and his body emanated a chill in the air.
Evidently, this was an iron blooded lord who had fought at all corners of the world, with outstanding military achievements.
On the left side of the man followed a woman around the age of thirty. She wore a jade green hairpin in her hair, and a bright red brocade dress with a flying white crane sewn onto it.
An air of dignity and elegance formed a stark contrast between her and the man.
On the right…
Naturally, it was Chi Guyan.
To be able to walk together with Chi Hou, one could infer Chi Guyan's position in the Divine Constabulary.
This was the first time Fang Zhengzhi had seen Chi Guyan after she had grown up. Today, Chi Guyan wore a long pink dress, with a white, fur shawl draped over her shoulders and a pink belt at her waist. Her jet-black hair fell to her waist.
On her head, there was a jade green sparrow pin, and in the mouth of the sparrow was a small pearl. It was crystal clear, and one look at it showed that it wasn't an ordinary good.
Once she appeared, she had attracted the attention of all of the scholars.
But, a white veil covered her face, concealing her nose and lips, only exposing a pair of eyes that was as bright as stars.
Even so, one could still see the powerful temperament emanating from Chi Guyan's body.
"Welcome Lord, Mrs Chi, and princess daughter!" When the scholars and officials saw them, they instantly stood up.
"Why did she still put on a veil?" Fang Zhengzhi was somewhat disappointed.
He wasn't disappointed because he was unable to see Chi Guyan's appearance, instead, he felt that if he could see what Chi Guyan looked like, he would be able to escape early if he met her on the streets.
"Chi Guyan hasn't reached the age of sixteen, and isn't engaged yet. During the feast, naturally, she would be veiled." Yan Xiu heard Fang Zhengzhi's question and explained.
Fang Zhengzhi was enlightened. Was this the fabled story about waiting in the boudoir to be betrothed?
But, which blind person would want to marry this runaway Lollita, wait, no! Now, she should be called, runaway lady!
If one really married such a lady, not mentioning anything else, if there was an argument, and not being able to win… that was definitely a rather miserable thing.
Fang Zhengzhi always felt that if a lady was too smart, it wasn't very good.
It would actually be better for girls to be gentle and virtuous...
Wu Yuer?
No, too seductive. Furthermore, she always felt somewhat dark!
Yun Qingwu?
She was indeed gentle…
But, her identity was too mysterious.
No matter how much he thought, Fang Zhengzhi couldn't think of a girl who met his conditions.
"Oh no, she's coming over!"
As he thought, Chi Guyan had already walked towards his location.
Fang Zhengzhi instantly crouched his body behind the big tree beside the table. He sat at the last row, under normal circumstances, he shouldn't be discovered, right?
As he thought, Fang Zhengzhi began to relax slightly.
As expected, Chi Guyan seemed to not have discovered himself, and quickly walked past. As she walked with Chi Hou and Mrs Chi towards the main seat, she even greeted the officials and scholars.
"Thank you lord for the feast!"
"Princess is really becoming prettier and prettier!"
"..."
"Ha ha ha…" Today, Chi Hou seemed to be happier, and carried a smile on his face the entire time.
As for Chi Guyan, it was hard to see. After all, she was veiled.
When the three of them reached the main seat and greeted the crowd, all the officials and scholars finally returned back onto their seats.
At this most, Housekeeper Wen also stood out from behind the main seat.
As a housekeeper of a constabulary, he had the responsibility and task of being the host of this feast.
He lightly coughed twice.
Very quickly, a kind smile appeared on his face. Just as he prepared to speak, a voice that was as clear as the chirps of a hundred birds rang out.
"Housekeeper Wen, why do I feel that there is a person missing?"
When Housekeeper Wen heard this, the smile on his face instantly froze. A person missing? How is this possible? Every person that was invited had arrived, even those who weren't invited had arrived.
There wasn't anybody missing...
He wanted to argue, but, he also understood that he couldn't argue.
Because, the person who spoke was Chi Guyan.
Not mentioning that he was just a small housekeeper, even if he was Chi Hou himself, he also wouldn't doubt Chi Guyan's words at all.
But…
Who is missing? Didn't Missus usually not pay any attention to the invitation of guests to the constabulary feast? Could it be that girl Yuer badmouthing him in front of Missus?
As he thought, cold sweat broke out from Housekeeper Wen's back.
"Who does Guyan feel is missing? Tell me more!" Chi Hou looked at Chi Guyan beside him, with the smile still on his face.
"I heard that in this Law of Dao examination, the River of Trust Capital had produced a double roll champion that had risen above the scholars of the five capitals, why didn't I see him?" Chi Guyan's eyes revealed a trace of doubt.
"Oh? Guyan is right, I am actually also extremely curious about this double roll champion. Our Northern Desert had indeed not produced a capital examination double roll champion in many years!" When Chi Hou heard this, he also nodded and looked at Housekeeper Wen.
Housekeeper Wen instantly heaved a sigh of relief.
Because, this person wasn't missing…
"Replying lord and Missus, Young Master Fang, Fang Zhengzhi is…" Halfway through his sentence, Housekeeper Wen suddenly shut his mouth.
He suddenly realised that with this Missus's genius talents, she would definitely not miss out anybody on the way here, and was instead questioning him for a special reason.
She definitely had other motives!
As he thought…
He suddenly felt somewhat sick.
