Chapter 2730 — The Furious Kang Jinglong
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Uh... let go of Wang Xinyan at once!" Kang Jingming had read a great pile of romance novels yesterday, hoping to find some counterattack methods to pursue Wang Xinyan and defeat Wei Zhao. But he had read too much, and just now, as he walked, his mind had been dwelling on those books' plots. Seeing Wei Zhao carrying Wang Xinyan, he had gotten excited and misspoken.
"You really do have something wrong with you. Can't you see she's asleep? If I let go, she'll fall to the ground!" Wei Zhao frowned, ignored Kang Jinglong, and continued into the classroom.
"Wait—if anyone's going to carry her, it should be me. What's the meaning of you carrying her?" Kang Jinglong rushed to stop Wei Zhao.
Wei Zhao paid him no attention.
"Huh? Wait, why is she asleep? How did you run into her? Where did you two go yesterday?" Kang Jinglong suddenly sensed something was off. Since Wang Xinyan was asleep, they surely had not run into each other by chance at school—Wang Xinyan could not have been walking while sleeping. That meant Wei Zhao must have carried the already deeply sleeping Wang Xinyan to school. So what exactly had happened between them?
The moment this thought crossed his mind, Kang Jinglong felt as though he had been cuckolded. His face flushed crimson, his eyes all but spitting fire. But Wei Zhao had already entered the classroom, and he could not ask too much in front of their classmates—otherwise, in the end, it would be he himself who was humiliated.
So Kang Jinglong could only swallow his rage and follow Wei Zhao into the classroom, seething with fury.
"Brother Kang, what's wrong?" You Panhu asked, feigning calm despite having witnessed the scene.
"Wei Zhao goes too far!" Kang Jinglong said, his face ashen. "It looks like he truly does not regard me as Wang Xinyan's fiancé!"
"This matter..." You Panhu pondered for a moment, then said, "There's really not much I can do to help with this, brother. The key problem is that Wei Zhao doesn't know your background right now, so naturally he doesn't take you seriously. If he knew your background, he should become wary."
"You have a point..." Kang Jinglong was calmed by You Panhu's words. The reason Wei Zhao was so unbridled was probably that he simply did not regard the Kang family at all. But that was no wonder—the Kang family had been declining like the setting sun, so it was normal for Wei Zhao not to take them seriously. After all, he did not even much regard the Hidden You family where You Panhu belonged! "Then what should I do? I can't very well go stupidly tell Wei Zhao that my brother is the Eighth Elder of the Xuan Dan Sect, can I?"
"This... well, it's not entirely impossible..." You Panhu thought it over and said, "After class, I'll go chat up Han Jingyi and see if I can find a way to get her notes on alchemy insights. Then you chime in from the side and mention that your brother is the Eighth Elder of the Xuan Dan Sect—that way Wei Zhao will hear it."
"That works. That's a good idea!" Kang Jinglong immediately agreed upon hearing it. This way, it would amount to indirectly informing Wei Zhao of his background.
You Panhu's idea could be said to kill two birds with one stone: he could discuss the alchemy notes with Han Jingyi and also curry favor with Kang Jinglong by helping him achieve his goal. You Panhu was quite pleased with himself—his intellect was still not to be underestimated; last time he had merely been careless.
