There was a saying - if one isn't involved, don't get involved.
Nangong Hao was doing just that. He looked like an observer, unwilling to participate or speak.
In fact, all of the candidates knew that Nangong Hao was somehow connected to it all. However, other than Nangong Hao, there was one more person who was silent.
That was Fang Zhengzhi.
Fang Zhengzhi was calm and composed throughout the entire sequence of events.
This stumped all of the candidates.
Why was this so?
If Fang Zhengzhi was suspended, it would be horrible for him. If he wasn't suspended, Nangong Hao would be the one at a disadvantage.
So why were both of them acting like mere observers?
"Why are they this calm?" These candidates could not understand what was happening.
In actual fact, Fang Zhengzhi did not say anything because his participation in the examination did not matter much to him. However, the other candidates did not know this.
