Chapter 2528 — Challenge Again
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Zhong Yongliang had just arrived at school with Gao Xiaofu. Though the two of them were boarders as well, how could the school dorms compare to the comforts outside? They had rented an apartment near the school the moment they arrived and spent every night there.
Seeing Wei Zhao and Gu Mengyao's group get out of the car, Zhong Yongliang's eyes all but spat fire! He cursed inwardly: Wei Zhao, look at all the beauties around you—would it kill you to just let me have Gu Mengyao?
Still, in front of Gu Mengyao, Zhong Yongliang put on a most magnanimous front and strode over generously. "Well, if it isn't Yaoyao and Xiaoshu! Wei Zhao, you're working awfully hard as their bodyguard. If it's too exhausting, let me take over for you."
"A defeated general, still shooting off his mouth? Did losing a thousand yuan to me yesterday teach you nothing?" Wei Zhao eyed Zhong Yongliang mockingly. "I say, Zhong Yongliang, you paid a visit to the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect, so why haven't you gained any sense? Your underling Zhang Nai pao got a thrashing from me—do you want to follow in his footsteps?"
"Oh ho?" Zhong Yongliang was instantly delighted by Wei Zhao's words. "I say, Wei Zhao, yesterday you merely knocked me down, didn't you? But I'm perfectly fine. Look at me now—do I look injured to you? I can not only run, I can jump. See? How nimble?"
"Are you putting on a monkey show?" Wei Zhao asked, watching Zhong Yongliang bounce about.
"Stow that useless talk." Zhong Yongliang, not in the least put out, waved a hand. "Wei Zhao, since we've run into each other here, I'll save myself the trouble of hunting you down! I, Zhong Yongliang, hereby declare a formal challenge for the position of Gu Mengyao's personal bodyguard. Well? Do you dare accept?"
"Accept? What's in it for me if I accept? If I lose, the position is yours; if I win, I get nothing? Do you think everyone's as brain-dead as you?" Wei Zhao curled his lip in disdain.
"Then what do you propose? How will you accept my challenge?" Zhong Yongliang was taken aback and shot back. "Still, I'd say there's an eighty percent chance you don't dare accept because you're afraid of losing to me! Yesterday you couldn't do a thing to me, and today will be no different!"
"Yesterday I had no intention of fighting you at all. After all, we're old classmates—I didn't even beat Zhang Nai pao to death, so why would I kill you? If I'd wanted you dead, you'd have been dead long ago. Why would I wait until now?" Wei Zhao regarded Zhong Yongliang with derision.
"Damn it! Cut the crap. Just tell me—do you dare accept the challenge or not?" Zhong Yongliang said impatiently.
"Accepting the challenge is doable—it's not out of the question. But there ought to be a stake, don't you think?" Wei Zhao said. "If I lose, I hand the position over to you. If you lose, you'll have to give me something in return, won't you?"
"What do you want?" Zhong Yongliang asked.
"I hear you brought back something nice from the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect?" Wei Zhao asked.
