Chapter 2498 — Why Has He Come Back?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Is that so..." Zhong Yongliang nodded. What Shen Yushu said was not wrong—it was indeed the truth. A man's name is like a tree's shadow, and Wei Zhao's fame certainly preceded him! Even the ** who had taken part in the Ice Palace trial would tremble at the name "Ling Yi"—though of course, that was what Zhang Naipao had told him.
Zhang Naipao's setback had forced him to truly take Wei Zhao seriously as an opponent. He would have to train hard and strive to defeat Wei Zhao the next time they met.
An Liwen... Zhao Qibing... Those two names made Zhong Yongliang a little uneasy. It was true that he was formidable and impressive now, but An Liwen and Zhao Qibing were no soft touches either. Their individual strength might be lacking, but behind them stood gangs and clans. The Fire Wolf Gang was packed with tough fighters, and the hidden Zhao family even had Heaven Rank experts. If Zhong Yongliang were to go looking for trouble with them, he still did not quite dare.
But he was also desperate to prove just how strong he was—so he had no choice but to come up with a plan.
"All right then, I'll go back and think it over, see how I can prove my courage. I'll be off now, Xiaoshu—please put in a good word for me with Yaoyao!" Zhong Yongliang said.
"No problem!" Shen Yushu nodded readily and waved him off. Then, once Zhong Yongliang was far away, she took out an earpiece and slipped it into her ear.
"Can this really uncover what they're up to?" Gu Mengyao sighed. She simply could not fathom why Zhong Yongliang had suddenly grown so powerful.
"It should work... They're discussing right now how to prove Zhong Yongliang's strength..." Shen Yushu said.
Indeed, at that very moment Zhong Yongliang and Gao Xiaofu were working out how to prove his strength.
"Brother Liang, how about you go give Zhao Qibing and An Liwen another beating?" Gao Xiaofu said. "Isn't that the simplest, most straightforward way?"
"Idiot!" Zhong Yongliang gave Gao Xiaofu a kick. "How are you still this dumb? So hot-headed about everything? Can't you learn from me and think before you act? Are Zhao Qibing and An Liwen so easy to beat up?"
"But Zhao Qibing—however tough he is, he can't be above Heaven Rank, right? At most he's an Earth Rank fighter. What's there to fear?" Gao Xiaofu said. "And An Liwen is just an ordinary man, isn't he? With the Golden Cicada undergarment on you, Brother Liang, as long as the other guy isn't a Heaven Rank expert, you're guaranteed to win, right?"
"You imbecile—Zhao Qibing has the hidden Zhao family behind him, and the hidden Zhao family has Heaven Rank experts! Sure, I could beat him up and then flash my identity as a ** of the Tomorrow After Tomorrow sect, and the hidden Zhao family definitely wouldn't dare do anything to me. The main problem is An Liwen! He may be an ordinary man, but do you have any idea that the Fire Wolf Gang is packed with tough fighters? Their strength is no weaker than our Tomorrow After Tomorrow sect?" Zhong Yongliang glared at Gao Xiaofu. "You think I don't want to move against An Liwen? The bastard cut one of my kidneys out! If I could, I'd be the first to send him to the Western Paradise. But I can't—they're not afraid of us!"
"Then let's start with Zhao Qibing?" Gao Xiaofu said.
"That's the only way." Zhong Yongliang nodded. "We'll give that Zhao Qibing a beating first, and we'll figure out the rest as we go..."
"Fine, then we'll go find Zhao Qibing in a bit!" Gao Xiaofu nodded.
"In a bit my ass—are you stupid? Going to the Zhao family to beat up Zhao Qibing is just asking for death!" Zhong Yongliang said angrily. "Either I hide my identity and beat Zhao Qibing, only to get beaten back by that old man Zhao, that Heaven Rank expert—or I declare my identity, and then there's definitely no fight at all."
