Chapter Thirty-Four Everyone Was Stunned

  Fang looked back at Kong with a helpless expression, while Fang's face was serious as he said: "Our position is not bad, we might be able to see Brother Kong's appearance later, how can you run around at this time?"

  At the sound, people around looked over with some dissatisfaction.

  The novice disciple who had previously exposed the news coldly said, "Look at what he's wearing, just like a beggar. He must be too ashamed to see Master Kong Fang. Maybe he wants to hide for a while, let him hide then."

  The others suddenly lowered their voices and laughed softly.

  "You just need to avoid Master Kong Fang, and your children and grandchildren will also have to avoid Master Kong Fang." Fang's face turned red with rage as he loudly retorted, and his grip on Kong Fang's hand tightened, "We'll just stand here and see what certain people can do to us."

  "Hmph, I won't bother arguing with someone as stubborn as you." The informant's apprentice snorted coldly.

  Kong Fang looked at Fang Tou's serious face and couldn't help but smile wryly, asking: "Do you want to become a follower of the inner sect disciples?"

  "Of course I want to." Fang Tou replied directly without thinking.

  "If you want to, then hurry up and let me go. If the elder finds out, I won't be able to take responsibility." A hint of a teasing smile appeared on Kong Fang's face.

  Fang's eyes widened in shock, staring blankly at Kong Fang, unable to react for a moment.

  The people around had already made out the meaning of Kong Fang's words, and one by one they widened their eyes in shock, staring at Kong Fang who was wearing a tattered set of clothes with black bloodstains on them.

  "He, he said he is Confucius' senior fellow apprentice?" a junior disciple asked hesitantly the person beside him.

  "It seems to be said like that." The people next to him also dared not believe their ears, fearing that they had misheard earlier, so they replied very uncertainly.

  Suddenly, Fang Tou let go of Kong Fang's hand and took two steps back. He touched his forehead with his hand, a embarrassed smile on his face.

  "I, uh, I..." Fang's head and limbs were all over the place, and after humming for half a day, he still couldn't say a complete sentence.

  Kong Fang smiled and said: "I want you to be my follower, remember to come find me after the assessment meeting."

  Although Fang Tou was a bit dull and taciturn, Kong Fang liked his character very much. In this strange world where Kong Fang was alone, it wasn't bad to have a true friend either. If Fang Tou were the kind of clever person, Kong Fang wouldn't dare let him become his follower, after all, he had many secrets, and followers often stayed with him, making it easy to discover his abnormalities.

  Kong Fang patted Fang Tou's shoulder and smiled before turning around and leaving.

  The crowd automatically made way for Kong Fang, allowing him to pass through very easily.

  As Kong Fang quickly walked up the mountain along the foot of the hill, the apprentice who had just revealed the information suddenly looked around nervously and then quickly left the original place to hide in another crowd.

  It has to be said that Fang Shou's words really came true.

  Kong Fang left, and the crowd that had stood with Kong Fang finally came back to their senses from the shock earlier, one by one filled with regret.

  "I've been standing with Kong Fang, the one who got first place in the assessment, for so long, yet I haven't even had a chance to say a word to him. Dammit, I'm really blinded by my own foolishness - why didn't I seize this great opportunity?" One person pounded their chest and stomped their feet, regretting it endlessly.

  Becoming a follower of another inner disciple and becoming the first place in assessment is vastly different, being able to seize the first place in assessment shows how formidable one's innate talent is. Becoming a follower of such a person will bring great benefits later on.

  The people around him were all a little regretful and crazy, the first place in the assessment was standing next to them, but they actually ignored it.

  Suddenly, someone walked up to Fang's head, with a flattering face: "Brother Fang, I hope you can take care of your younger brother more in the future. Your younger brother will be grateful forever. Whatever Brother Fang orders, he will go through fire and water without frowning."

  Upon hearing this, the others immediately reacted and hurriedly went forward to curry favor with Fang Tou. If they couldn't become followers of Kong Fang, then they would first establish a good relationship with Fang Tou; who knows, maybe there would be opportunities in the future.

  Before, people still looked down on Kong Fang and Fang Tou, coldly ridiculing them. But once Kong Fang's identity was exposed, these people seemed to have changed their faces, one by one quickly flattering and trying to curry favor with them.

  He stared blankly at the people around him who were trying to curry favor with him, and the sudden reversal of his situation left him somewhat at a loss. However, no matter what others said, he didn't utter a single word, neither making promises to the crowd nor responding to their requests.

  ……

  As Kong Fang walked out of the crowd, whether they had seen him before or not, everyone's eyes widened in shock. They thought that the person who got first place would be at least somewhat elegant and refined, but it turned out to be a thin boy wearing... what could even be called clothes? Tattered rags were more like it.

  "It's impossible, how can it be him." When he saw Kong Fang clearly, Zhao Yong's face suddenly changed greatly, "This is impossible, this is not true." Zhao Yong's body shook, and for a moment, he was a little unsteady on his feet.

  Su Yun and He Hongyu, who were standing on either side of Zhao Yong, both looked at him with some surprise, although the emergence of this first-place winner was somewhat unexpected, but it shouldn't have caused such a big reaction.

  Several elders saw Kong Fang's predicament, looked at each other, and there was some confusion in their eyes. A genius who can refine a second-rate weapon with ordinary materials, how could he be so miserable.

  The red light filled his face, and the excited Qingfan elder was directly stunned. Is this really that genius disciple he had been eager to see? Although the young man looked quite handsome, but this wretched appearance made it impossible for him to associate him with the genius disciple in his mind.

  Kong Fang hurried up the mountain road and met several disciples of the Inner Hall who were making a big show, all of whom smiled at him in a friendly manner.

  Kong Fang also smiled and responded one by one.

  On the mountain, Sun Hao stood behind several elders and observed as Kong Fang walked out of the crowd. As the distance between them grew closer, Sun Hao became increasingly certain that the first place in this assessment was indeed the person he had met briefly in front of the Alchemy Room.

  Sun Hao remembered very clearly that at the time he had also pointed out to the other party about the matter of quenching liquid.

  Later, the refining room had a problem, and more than a dozen apprentices' refining materials turned to dust. Even he couldn't escape. At that time, he took those apprentices to find Elder Qingfan, but among all the people, only this youth who entered the refining room with him was missing.

  It hasn't been long since this happened, just a few days, so Sun Hao's memory is still very clear.

  "It was actually him." Sun Hao exclaimed in surprise.

  Qing Fan and several other elders turned their heads to look at Sun Hao who had made the sound.

  Sun Hao smiled awkwardly and waved his hand to indicate that nothing was wrong. After the few elders stopped looking at him, Sun Hao turned his gaze to Kong Fang who was climbing the mountain, thinking about what had happened a few days ago.

  "At that time, his refining materials were also destroyed, but he didn't go with me to see the elder. I suppose it's because the precious materials were destroyed and he was uncomfortable in his heart." Suddenly, Sun Hao's expression changed, "This dark short sword is made of ordinary materials, could it be that because of that incident, he had no choice but to use ordinary materials to forge a weapon?"

  Sun Hao thought he had guessed the truth, but didn't know that the more he guessed, the further away from the truth he became.

  Kong Fang's eyebrows suddenly twitched while climbing the mountain, then he pretended to be casual and looked towards a place halfway up the mountain.

  In this direction, Kong Fang felt a gaze that was different from others, and the gaze was like a thorn, making him very uncomfortable.

  However, when Kong Fang raised his head and looked in this direction, that gaze that made him uncomfortable suddenly disappeared.

  Kong Fang only saw Li Sen looking away with a tilted head.
