Chapter 2521 — That Works Too?

"Fine, then I will leave it to you and await good news," Wei Zhao said. "I will head back first and come pick you two up tonight!"
It was the weekend. Although there were still people at school, they were only attending optional classes, which could just as easily be skipped. Normally, if Wei Zhao was not at home, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu would come to school for class. If he was home, they would not come.
Although Wei Zhao had come to the school, he had no intention of attending an optional class. He had only just gathered the colored steel, pure yellow jade, and blue crystal. There was not much of each, but he wanted to go back and try refining the jade-pendant space.
Wei Zhao had been looking forward to this for a long time. Now that he had finally gathered all the materials, how could he not try it immediately?
"All right. See you tonight..." Gu Mengyao said.
Wei Zhao turned around and got into Han Xiaohu's car. "Let's go. Back to the villa in the Xue Shang residential complex."
"Yes, Leader." Han Xiaohu nodded and started the car.
Meanwhile, Zhong Yongliang and Gao Xiaofu fled to an empty spot and sat down in a pavilion, panting heavily and feeling thoroughly depressed.
This was a small grove on campus. In summer, its little pavilions were a paradise for young couples, students, and card players. In winter, however, no one came near them. Nobody was foolish enough to sit out there in the bitter cold.
"What a blunder. Who could have expected Wei Zhao to come back at a time like this?" Zhong Yongliang said resentfully. "My mid-grade Golden Cicada undergarment can defend against attacks from cultivators below Heaven rank, but Wei Zhao is still an expert at the peak of the mid Earth rank. He can send me flying!"
"Exactly. If we had known, we would never have held this challenge—or, when Wei Zhao arrived, we should have immediately changed the rules instead of letting him step straight onto the platform!" Gao Xiaofu nodded emphatically.
"Everything had been going smoothly. Once it was over, I could have pressured Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu into agreeing to let me become their personal guard. Whether they wanted it or not, once I became their guard, everything afterward would have been much easier! Wei Zhao was not exactly welcome back then either, was he?" Zhong Yongliang's plan had been quite sound. It was only the execution that had run into trouble.
"I wonder whether Gu Mengyao knows about this already." Gao Xiaofu hesitated before saying, "Brother Liang, why not call Shen Yushu and sound them out? What if they have already seen what happened—or Wei Zhao got to them first and said something inappropriate that put you at a disadvantage?"
"Good. That is an excellent suggestion. That brat Wei Zhao is incredibly underhanded. I have to call Shen Yushu first and tell her that Wei Zhao was the one who cheated in this match!" With that thought, Zhong Yongliang hurriedly pulled out his phone and dialed Shen Yushu's number.
