Chapter 2655 — Zhong Yongliang's Challenge
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wei Zhao listened in astonishment as Zhong Yongliang read out his challenge over the broadcast. He was greatly surprised—was this fellow challenging him again? Could it be that he had some new trump card up his sleeve?
Across the campus of Donghai City Engineering University echoed the challenge Zhong Yongliang had issued, and in the classroom of the economics department, Shen Yushu and Gu Mengyao naturally heard the news as well.
"Yao-yao, so Zhong Yongliang really did have an ulterior motive this time. It looks like he must have gotten some fine new treasure from the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect; otherwise he could never have arranged a duel with Arrow Brand Bro," Shen Yushu said after hearing it. "But without his Zhong Yongliang Golden Cicada Undergarment, isn't he just going up there to get beaten?"
"Who knows?" Gu Mengyao shook her head. "How could we not have seen it yesterday? He certainly put on a good act."
"That's right. Later, during the noon break, I'll go scout out the truth and see if I can find out what trump card Zhong Yongliang is holding," Shen Yushu said. "This mission goes to Detective Shu, 007!"
"Then be careful..." Gu Mengyao hesitated a moment, then nodded. She did not want Wei Zhao to lose either; knowing both oneself and the enemy is the way to win a hundred battles. Still, she warned: "Zhong Yongliang seems to be on his guard against you already. If it comes down to it, don't force it."
"Mm, I know." Shen Yushu nodded.
At noon, as soon as class let out, Shen Yushu telephoned Zhong Yongliang.
"Xiao Shu, what is it?" Zhong Yongliang loathed Shen Yushu to the core, but on the surface he was all warmth. There was no help for it—who had made Shen Yushu Gu Mengyao's bosom friend?
"Little Liangzi, where are you? Why are you challenging Arrow Brand Bro again? Are you sure you can win?" Shen Yushu asked tentatively.
Zhong Yongliang already knew that Shen Yushu was absolutely in league with Wei Zhao and could never be on his side, and he guessed that she had come to fish for information. He had suffered a loss before; how could he possibly suffer a second one now? But it so happened that he had been wanting to get Shen Yushu to come out. He meant to unleash the Hundred-Drunken Centipede to bite her and knock her unconscious, the better to unsettle Wei Zhao, and he had been worrying over how to invite her out—yet here she was, delivering herself to his door. Zhong Yongliang was overjoyed within, though his face betrayed nothing as he said: "I'm in the little park behind the school, practicing my martial arts. Whether I can win—come and see my ultimate move, and then you'll know."
"Oh? You have an ultimate move? Then Xiao Shu simply must see it!" Shen Yushu had not expected Zhong Yongliang to agree so readily and hastily asked: "Then wait for me in the little park behind the school—I'll be right over!"
"Good... wait!" Zhong Yongliang suddenly changed tack. "You're not here to scout for information for Wei Zhao, are you? Last time, was it you who swindled me out of my Zhong Yongliang Golden Cicada Undergarment?"
"What mid-grade Golden Cicada Undergarment? What's that? Is it the same thing as the Zhong Yongliang Golden Cicada Undergarment?" Shen Yushu asked.
"You don't know? Hmm... it's nothing. Come on, then," Zhong Yongliang said, deliberately feinting.
