Chapter 1554: Chapter 1554
"It seems to be the truth."
"Everything I said is fact; I have no desire to make enemies with anyone."
Tang Ming looked earnestly at Yang Jin and the others: "But I must make it clear that I do not fear being enemies with anyone. If you keep pestering me, bring it on with whatever skills you have."
"What do you mean exactly?"
Yang Jin looked at Tang Ming, confused.
"The meaning is simple. I came here to resolve our grievances. If it weren’t for the Liu Family brothers being overly aggressive, none of the subsequent events would have happened."
Tang Ming straightforwardly conveyed his intentions.
Yang Jin furrowed his brows, looking at the Dragon Girl on the bed: "If you heal the Dragon Girl’s injury, we two can refrain from holding you accountable. You’ve disrupted Little Martial Arts three times already; this is no longer just a personal grudge. If we don’t have a resolution, even if we don’t wish to pursue responsibility, Little Martial Arts won’t let you off."
"What do you mean by that? Is it endless?"
Tang Ming’s face turned unsightly. He had come sincerely to resolve the grievance.
"Han Shan, what is the attitude of the other Vice Alliance Hierarchs during this time?"
Yang Jin fell into silence for a moment, uncertainly looking at Han Shan.
"The Vice Alliance Hierarchs are rushing over, saying they want to settle scores with Chen Cang this weekend and then find... Tang Ming."
Han Shan glanced at Tang Ming apprehensively, explaining the situation truthfully.
"I also feel that way."
Yang Jin nodded, looking earnestly at Tang Ming: "Brother Tang, I thank you for saving my girlfriend, but the grudge between you and Little Martial Arts cannot be added to our personal feelings. If you truly wish to resolve grievances, bring your people to the Academy Park at ten o’clock this Saturday morning; the experts from Little Martial Arts will duel you."
"Then what? After defeating you, more experts will appear. Won’t I be bothered endlessly?"
Tang Ming looked at Yang Jin with displeasure.
"No way! This time, several Vice Alliance Hierarchs will simultaneously make a move. The Dragon Girl and I remember your kindness and won’t act immediately. We will persuade each Vice Alliance Hierarch for a decisive battle to resolve grievances."
Yang Jin firmly stated: "If you win, Little Martial Arts won’t interfere in your affairs anymore. But if you lose, you must accept our punishment... the Liu Family brothers cannot be destroyed for nothing. What do you think?"
"Alright, as long as you keep your promises and can settle this once and for all, I will play along with you."
Tang Ming nodded without hesitation.
"Hey, if you lose, your cultivation will be abolished. Think carefully."
Han Shan kindly reminded: "Actually, there is another way. You could join Little Martial Arts, and we can take you to offer apologies to the Liu Family brothers, preserving your cultivation."
"What a joke! I did nothing wrong, so why should I apologize to those brothers?"
Tang Ming sneered coldly, speaking with authority: "A real man bends but doesn’t break. Since there’s already a solution, let’s meet on Saturday."
"Good, you are a man. You’ve got guts."
Yang Jin continuously nodded, lamenting: "If I had known you earlier, we would certainly be friends."
"How many people will you bring? How many can I bring?"
Tang Ming squinted, uncertainly looking at Yang Jin and the others: "Also, will you call for reinforcement from your family or outside forces?"
"Of course not. Student matters should be resolved by students themselves; it’s the rule of Little Martial Arts."
Yang Jin replied with certainty.
"Great, then we will meet on Saturday."
Tang Ming smiled, then gracefully turned and walked out.
"This person seems not as bad as the Liu Family brothers said."
After Tang Ming left, the Dragon Girl furrowed her brows, questioning in confusion.
"I don’t think he’s the type to cause trouble without reason."
Yang Jin shook his head in bewilderment.
"Ahem, actually, I believe Tang Ming’s words a lot now, given the previous reputation of the Liu Family brothers..."
Han Shan awkwardly smiled, quickly reminding: "And this person is very strong. It’s said that Zhao Yan from the Zhao Family has been beaten into an idiot by him."
Yang Jin and the Dragon Girl looked at Han Shan in confusion.
"The youngest son of the Family Head of Saint Hand Zhao Family."
Han Shan shook his head peculiarly.
"Wow! He really is bold."
Yang Jin expressed amazement.
"With the strength of the Liu Family brothers, unless they went too far, someone like Tang Ming wouldn’t likely act against them, right?"
Han Shan looked uncertainly at Yang Jin and the Dragon Girl.
"The Liu Family’s framework is too small and weak, but the Liu Family brothers have always been arrogant and domineering. This is truly likely a misunderstanding."
Yang Jin nodded in agreement.
"Sigh, unfortunately, disturbing Little Martial Arts is something that causes public outrage. Even if we don’t want to be adversaries with Tang Ming now, this battle is inevitable."
The Dragon Girl sighed helplessly: "It’s all spoiled by those little people below."
"Let’s see if he can pass this Saturday’s test."
Yang Jin shrugged helplessly, then remained silent.
Tang Ming returned to school, pondering over Lin Xue’s words all the way.
Initially, Tang Ming felt Meng Xianjun was very mysterious. Outwardly appearing as a frivolous rogue, he was actually fair and straightforward, especially when alone; his melancholy and composure were entirely different personas.
Now, listening to Lin Xue’s analysis, Meng Xianjun became even more enigmatic.
"Zhao Yan is a Seven-Star Martial Master; his helpers should at least have an Eight-star level, and they can use hidden weapons to approach invisibly, yet Meng Xianjun turned them to ashes. What is Meng Xianjun’s cultivation?"
This was a question that deeply troubled Tang Ming.
Since class was in session, with Meng Xianjun and others helping him dodge roll calls, Tang Ming was too lazy to attend class, returning directly to the dormitory to ponder life.
In the dormitory, Hua Yingjie carried the mission of revitalizing the Heavenly Medicine Sect, Shao Wuyou was the younger brother of a Dragon Group member, and Meng Xianjun was mysterious; none of them were ordinary people.
"Hua Yingjie and Shao Wuyou can be set aside for now, but Meng Xianjun’s ally or enemy status must be determined early."
Taking a cross-legged seat on the bed, Tang Ming began to carefully consider everything that had happened since meeting Meng Xianjun.
"Disguise! All of Meng Xianjun’s usual behaviors are a disguise, and the core of his disguise is one thing: women."
After sorting it out, Tang Ming suddenly opened his eyes wide: "I know his weakness!"
Since Tang Ming agreed to the duel with Little Martial Arts, and Zhao Yan was temporarily dealt with, the following days were extremely peaceful.
Tang Ming and others attended the welcoming party at the School of Economics and Management, and the song performed by Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli successfully advanced.
