Chapter 2073 — Zhong Yongliang Goes Up the Mountain
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
At this moment You Zhentian truly had no inclination to berate You Panhu—his mind was entirely on the Hidden World Families Summit! This summit, plainly put, was in fact several hidden families joining hands to swindle the Hidden Han family!
All the competition events were basically tailored for the various hidden families, each of which had an event it excelled at—the Zhao family's racing, the You family's pill refining—and in this way, every hidden family would in the end win a treasure swindled from the Hidden Han family. This was one reason You Zhentian had no mind to berate You Panhu. Another reason was, what would berating You Panhu accomplish? Was he, You Zhentian, any more able to do anything about Wei Zhao? As for that thorn in the side, Wei Zhao, the only way was to send Heaven-rank experts to wipe him out—but without the ancient sects' nod, who dared recklessly send Heaven-rank experts out?
The college entrance examination had passed several months ago, yet Zhong Yongliang had still never gone to school to register! It was not that he did not want to go, but that he had not figured out how to face Wei Zhao and Gu Mengyao.
Toward Wei Zhao, Zhong Yongliang's hatred ran to the bone, but what use was hatred? Watching Wei Zhao grow stronger step by step, until even Zhang Naipao was no match for him, Zhong Yongliang might have the heart to deal with Wei Zhao, but he had neither the strength nor the courage!
With Zhong Yongliang's college entrance exam scores, he could not even get into a third-rate university, and the same went for his lackey Gao Xiaofu.
However, Zhong Fabai had money, and paid a hefty sponsorship fee for each of them, Zhong Yongliang and Gao Xiaofu, and so the two became self-funded students of the Donghai Engineering University affiliated college!
A so-called affiliated college is a private university jointly run by an enterprise and a university. Although the teaching location is together with the regular university, the diploma after graduation is different—the diploma issued bears the name of the affiliated college.
Of course, to a rich young man like Zhong Yongliang, who did not care about diplomas in the least, whatever was written on it made no difference.
And the school's requirements for the self-funded students of such affiliated colleges were relatively low—whether these people attended military training or went to class made no difference. After all, most of these students were only there to muddle through for a credential, and after graduation they would all go to work in the family businesses.
Zhong Yongliang and Gao Xiaofu had not gone to register at school not because they were lazy, but because they were unwilling to accept it! He was unwilling to bow his head and live as an inferior, so before registering, he took Gao Xiaofu with him and hurried to Zhang Naipao's place of cultivation—the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect!
First time strangers, second time friends—this time the two met Zhang Naipao very smoothly.
And at this moment, Zhang Naipao's whole bearing had changed greatly. The former frivolity and arrogance were gone, replaced by a kind of confidence and steadiness—though the pride deep in his bones remained.
"Brother Liang!" Yet no matter what, Zhang Naipao's loyalty to Zhong Yongliang had not changed. Although Zhong Yongliang was merely an ordinary man, Zhang Naipao put on no airs at all before him, behaving entirely like a subordinate, as he clasped his hands in a respectful salute.
"Paozi, no need for such formality. You're a cultivator now, and it's no small thing that you still acknowledge me as your leader—but there's no need to be so polite!" Zhong Yongliang had actually come this time to ask Zhang Naipao for help, so he did not dare put on airs.
