It was less than a month to the preliminary examinations of the court examinations. It would take about two weeks to reach the capital.
Fang Zhengzhi did not waste anymore time in the village. After making sure everything was in place, he went to pray at the shrine, accompanied by Zhang Yangping and his parents.
After everything was done, he began the journey back to the capital.
Just as he left the village, he heard of some shocking news. Chi Guyan did not return to the Divine Constabulary, choosing instead to go straight to the Heaven Dao Pavillion.
She also made an oath there.
She would accept Fang Zhengzhi’s challenge. However, Fang Zhengzhi had to qualify as a Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple. Furthermore, the duel would be held in public.
The loser would be a slave for a month.
