Chapter 2519 — Martial Arts Have No Effect

"That is indeed a good idea, but hasn't Elder Pi already gone back? And besides, dragging Elder Pi out over such a trivial matter—wouldn't that cause trouble for the Hidden Pi Family? Isn't Zhong Yongliang backed by that Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect or whatever it's called? If they learn that an expert from a hidden family is casually running around in the secular world, wouldn't that be a problem?" Gu Mengyao asked with some concern.
After all, this time was different from before. Last time, Elder Pi had acted in secret to rescue Wang Xinyan, and the kidnappers had been nothing but fools—not a one of them could have said a word about Elder Pi. But this time was different; this was happening in full public view.
"Exactly, so even the Omniscient Shu isn't omniscient sometimes..." Shen Yushu shrugged helplessly. "Actually, this matter is easy enough to handle too—we just ignore him."
"Ignore him?" Gu Mengyao was taken aback.
"That's right, just ignore him!" Shen Yushu said. "When Brother Arrowhead gets back, if he can beat him, great. If he can't, I'll find a way to swap out that golden cicada undershirt of Zhong Yongliang's, and then Brother Arrowhead will be able to beat him! After the swap, I'll tell him the earlier ring match doesn't count—that anything not fought under our watching eyes doesn't count—and make him fight Brother Arrowhead again. Then Brother Arrowhead will definitely win!"
"Xiaoshu, seems like you're acting with impunity—no wonder you're not nervous." Hearing Shen Yushu's words, Gu Mengyao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm not acting with impunity, you know. Actually, I've been thinking too—how exactly am I going to get my hands on Little Liangzi's fine treasures? That iron staff of his is pretty nice too. If I could snatch it for Brother Arrowhead—heh heh heh heh..." Shen Yushu gave a most devious laugh.
"Snatching all of it—that doesn't seem quite right, does it?" Gu Mengyao said with some worry. "Will that Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect behind him agree?"
"If they don't agree, then let them give Little Liangzi a few more treasures, and when he comes back to put on airs again, we'll snatch those too!" Shen Yushu said dismissively. "Little Liangzi really is a good man—he's practically devoted to delivering equipment to Brother Arrowhead."
"Pfft..." Hearing Shen Yushu's words, Gu Mengyao nearly sprayed out laughing. She thought to herself that Zhong Yongliang really was the unluckiest man alive—running into a skinflint like Xiaoshu, no fine thing he brought would ever make it back intact.
But Gu Mengyao didn't pity him either. Zhong Yongliang had once kidnapped her and Xiaoshu, and done many things disadvantageous to Wei Zhao—how could Gu Mengyao possibly pity him?
Wei Zhao rode in Han Xiaohu's car to Donghai City Engineering University. The moment the car pulled into the parking lot, Wei Zhao heard passing students discussing Zhong Yongliang's challenge ring, and naturally he paid attention.
What Wei Zhao hadn't expected was that Zhong Yongliang would use this method to force his hand—it was considerably smarter than before. But with Xiaoshu around, would this method really work?
"Let's go, let's take a look," Wei Zhao said to Han Xiaohu.
"Boss, do you have some conflict with this Zhong Yongliang fellow?" Han Xiaohu had roughly picked up on the signs.
"Heh, yes. Gu Mengyao's suitor, and my high school classmate," Wei Zhao said. "This man was always opposing me back then. Recently he joined the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect and got himself some mid-grade golden cicada undershirt—now he's not afraid of being hit by anyone below the Heaven Rank."
"So it was him!" Hearing Wei Zhao's words, Han Xiaohu suddenly understood. No wonder Wei Zhao had been asking about the mid-grade golden cicada undershirt yesterday—so this was what it was about.
