Avenue Stowaway

Kong Fang turned around and looked at Fang Tou helplessly. Fang Tou looked at him seriously and said, "Our location is not bad. We may be able to see what Senior Brother Kong Fang looks like later. How can you run around at this time?"

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

The disciple who broke the news earlier snorted coldly and said, "Look, he is dressed like a beggar. He must be too embarrassed to see Brother Kong Fang. He may want to hide for a while, so just let him hide."

The others immediately chuckled in low voices.

"You are the one who needs to avoid Brother Kong Fang, and your descendants will also have to avoid Brother Kong Fang." Fangtou's face turned red and he retorted loudly, and he pulled Kong Fang's hand even harder, "Let's just stand here and see what some people can do to us."

"Hmph, I won't bother with a stubborn person like you." The disciple who broke the news snorted coldly.

Kong Fang looked at Fangtou who was serious, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and asked: "Do you want to become a follower of the inner hall disciple?"

"Of course." Fangtou answered without thinking.

"Since you want to, why don't you let me go quickly? I can't afford to be blamed by the elders later." Kong Fang showed a playful smile on his face.

Fangtou was stunned for a moment, staring at Kong Fang blankly, unable to come back to his senses for a while.

The people around had already understood the meaning of Kong Fang's words. They couldn't help but widen their eyes and look at Kong Fang in disbelief. He was wearing tattered clothes, which were even stained with black blood.

"He, he said he was Brother Kong Fang?" an apprentice asked the people around him stutteringly.

"It seems to be said like this." The people nearby couldn't believe their ears, fearing that they had heard it wrong, so they answered uncertainly.

Suddenly, Fangtou let go of Kong Fang's hand and took two steps back. He touched his forehead with his hand and smiled awkwardly.

"I, um, I..." Fangtou was at a loss and mumbled for a long time without being able to utter a complete sentence.

Kong Fang smiled and said, "I want you to be my follower. Remember to come find me after the competition."

Although Fangtou is a bit honest and dull, Kong Fang likes his character very much. Kong Fang is alone in this strange world, and it is good to have a true friend. If Fangtou is a very smart person, Kong Fang would not dare to let him become his follower. After all, he has many secrets, and followers often stay with him, so it is easy to find his abnormality.

Kong Fang patted Fangtou's shoulder, smiled, and turned away.

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

As Kong Fang walked quickly up the mountain along the foot of the mountain, the disciple who leaked the information looked around guiltily, then quickly left the place and hid among the other people.

I have to say that Fangtou’s words really came true.

Kong Fang left, and the people who had been standing with Kong Fang finally came back to their senses from the shock and regretted their actions.

"I have been standing with Senior Brother Kong Fang, who won the first place in the assessment, for such a long time, but I haven't been able to say a word to him. Damn it, I was really blinded by greed. Why didn't I seize such a good opportunity?" One person beat his chest and stamped his feet, regretting it very much.

There is a big difference between being a follower of other inner hall disciples and being a follower of the person who gets first place in the assessment. Being able to get first place in the assessment shows how talented one is. Becoming a follower of such a person will bring great benefits in the future.

Everyone around was regretting and going crazy; the top-placed student was standing right next to them, but they just ignored him.

Suddenly, a man walked up to Fangtou and said flatteringly, "Brother Fang, I hope you can take care of me more in the future. I will be very grateful. If you have any instructions, I will go through fire and water and never frown."

Hearing this, the others reacted immediately and hurried forward to please Fangtou. If you can't become Kong Fang's follower, then build a good relationship with Fangtou first, maybe there will be a chance in the future.

Before, everyone looked down on Kong Fang and Fang Tou and ridiculed them. But once Kong Fang's identity was exposed, these people seemed to have changed their faces and quickly flattered and fawned on him.

Fang Tou stared blankly at the people around him who were trying to please him. The sudden reversal of his situation made him feel a little overwhelmed. However, no matter what others said, he said nothing, neither making any promises to them nor agreeing to their requests.

……

As Kong Fang walked out of the crowd, everyone, whether they had seen Kong Fang before or not, widened their eyes in surprise. They thought that even if the person who won the first place was not handsome and elegant, he must have something special. But who knew that the person who finally walked out was a skinny boy, and what he was wearing... can that be called clothes? It was more like a strip of cloth.

"Impossible, how could it be him." When he saw Kong Fang's appearance clearly, Zhao Yong's face suddenly changed, "This is impossible, this can't be true." Zhao Yong's body shook and he was a little unstable for a while.

Su Yun and He Hongyu, who were standing on both sides of Zhao Yong, looked at him in surprise. Although the appearance of this first place winner was somewhat unexpected, it shouldn't cause such a big reaction.

When the elders saw Kong Fang's embarrassment, they looked at each other with some confusion in their eyes. How could a genius who could refine a second-grade weapon with ordinary materials end up in such a miserable state?

Elder Qing Fan, whose face was flushed with excitement, was stunned. Could this be the genius disciple he was eager to meet? Although the boy was quite handsome, his miserable appearance made him unable to associate him with the genius disciple he had imagined in his mind.

Kong Fang quickly went up the mountain road. On the way, he met a few inner-hall disciples who came to join in the fun. They all greeted him with a friendly smile.

Kong Fang also responded with a smile.

On the mountain, Sun Hao, who was standing behind several elders, had been observing Kong Fang since he walked out of the crowd. As the two of them got closer and closer, Sun Hao became more and more certain in his heart that the first place in this assessment was the person he had met once in front of the refining room.

Sun Hao remembered it very clearly. At that time, he had even instructed the other party about the quenching liquid.

Then something went wrong in the weapon refining room, and the refining materials of more than a dozen new disciples turned into ashes, and even he could not escape. At that time, he took those new disciples to find Elder Qing Fan, but among all the people, the only one missing was the young man who entered the weapon refining room at the same time as him.

This incident happened not long ago, only a few days, so Sun Hao's memory of it was naturally very clear.

"It's him." Sun Hao exclaimed in surprise.

Elder Qing Fan and several other elders turned to look at Sun Hao who made the voice.

Sun Hao smiled awkwardly and waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. After the elders stopped looking at him, Sun Hao turned his gaze to Kong Fang who was climbing the mountain, thinking about what happened a few days ago.

"At that time, his refining materials were also destroyed, but he didn't go to see the elders with me. I guess he was upset that the precious materials were destroyed." Suddenly, Sun Hao was stunned. "This black dagger is made of ordinary materials. Could it be that because of that incident, he had to use ordinary materials to refine weapons?"

Sun Hao thought he had guessed the truth correctly, but he didn't know that the more he guessed the truth, the further it was from him.

Kong Fang, who was climbing the mountain, frowned suddenly, and then pretended to look casually at a place halfway up the mountain.

In this direction, Kong Fang felt a different gaze from others, because this gaze seemed to contain thorns, making him very uncomfortable.

However, when Kong Fang looked up in this direction, the look that made him uncomfortable suddenly disappeared.

Kong Fang only saw Li Sen turning his head to look elsewhere.
