Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 96 is actually an excuse
Hearing Jiang Wuyan's question, Tang Zheng hadn't spoken yet, but Tang Xiaotang suddenly calmed down from laughing so hard and answered solemnly for Tang Zheng: "Master, of course he is from our Tang Family Fort, and he is the family member of every one of our Tang Family Fort disciples!"
Xiao Lingdang was also standing by, holding her sister Meng Fenghua's hand with one hand and holding Tang Zheng's collar with the other hand: "That's right, Sister Xiaotang is right, Master is a member of Tangjiabao in life and a ghost of Tangjiabao in death..."
Jiang Wuyan watched Tang Zheng rubbing Xiao Lingdang's hair lovingly. He neither refuted Tang Xiaotang's answer nor corrected Xiao Lingdang's wrong wording. He just smiled faintly. Jiang Wuyan had never even seen Tang Zheng's expression so serious.
He looked at the four people present besides him. They all had the same determined expressions on their faces. They really looked like brothers and sisters from the same family. He couldn't help but smile as well: "Yes, I am stupid. I envy you for having a big, warm family."
Tang Zheng waved his hand casually: "Okay, let's not dwell on this issue. Anyway, someone has misunderstood me as Yingshan's man and wants to kill me as soon as possible."
"Before we find the culprit, not only me but all of you have to be extra careful. The person who has targeted me is definitely a ruthless character who will do anything to achieve his goal." Tang Zheng reminded.
"Don't worry, Master. We basically only stay in the academy, and except for the elective courses in the afternoon, we are all together. The academy is full of strong people, so he should not dare to commit a crime openly in the academy." Tang Xiaotang replied.
"But what should we do if there are still people saying bad things about the master outside?" Little Lingling suddenly asked with her nose wrinkled.
"Needless to say, I'll beat them up every time I see them. Let's see who dares to spread rumors again!" Tang Xiaotang said viciously, clenching his fists.
Tang Zheng smiled and shook his head: "It's only treating the symptoms , not the root cause. Besides, have you forgotten what I told you, that it's better to prevent the people from speaking than to prevent the river from flooding? Rumors can't be stopped. We can only solve them at the source."
"Then Master, what do you think we should do?" Tang Xiaotang asked.
"It's very simple. I'll be on stage the day after tomorrow! The rumors will naturally be broken." Tang Zheng replied.
"How can that be possible? You are so injured, and you still want to go on the court to fight Leng Zhan? He is a lunatic and a martial arts fanatic. Your life might be in danger!" Tang Xiaotang hurriedly stopped him when she heard Tang Zheng's decision.
"No, no, no, of course I will wait until my injury is healed before fighting him. Going into the front line with injuries is not my style." Tang Zheng explained.
"But how can your injury heal in a short time? It's not like we are in Tangjiabao now, where we have flower fields to use!" Tang Xiaotang still felt that Tang Zheng's idea was unlikely, but she suddenly remembered a piece of news Tang Zheng told them last time - Ban Yiluo was going to be transferred to Feishi City to be the head manager.
"Could it be that... Master, have you asked the shopkeeper Ban to bring that thing over for you?"
"That's right. According to the time, Ban Yilou should have arrived in these two days." Tang Zheng nodded with a smile.
Although Jiang Wuyan didn't quite understand what Tang Zheng and the others were saying, such as the flower field and that thing, he was a little confused. However, with his intelligence and EQ, he immediately guessed that Tang Zheng and the others must have an extremely powerful way of healing, and that it required the help of special items.
Rare treasures like this are a very private secret of the family. Jiang Wuyan had no intention of prying into them. He bowed to Tang Zheng and the others very consciously and left.
As soon as Jiang Wuyan left, Xiaotang couldn't help but ask, "Master, even if Manager Ban brought the Flower King of Debauchery, you can't create a flower field in just two days. Without a flower field, how can you heal your wounds..."
Tang Zheng smiled and said, "I have my own plans. You guys go and help me check if Ban Yilou has arrived at Feishi City. This is the most important thing."
Tang Xiaotang and the others nodded, and just as they were about to go out to help Tang Zheng find Ban Yiluo, they ran into another visitor.
"Cold War?!" Tang Xiaotang recognized the uninvited guest at a glance.
Leng Zhan nodded politely to Tang Xiaotang and the others , then turned his gaze directly to Tang Zheng. He kept locking eyes with him for about ten seconds before he suddenly said, "I didn't expect you to be injured, and so badly."
Xiaotang looked at this martial arts genius whose name she had heard of and admired before she entered the academy, and said unhappily, "Thank you so much for coming to confirm this. Do you really think our teacher is afraid of you and is faking an injury to avoid a fight?"
Leng Zhan didn't pay attention to Xiao Tang's hidden meaning. He continued to look at Tang Zheng and said, "Postpone the challenge. I'll wait for you!"
Tang Zheng shook his head: "No need, I will fight on time."
Hearing Tang Zheng's words, Leng Zhan frowned: "If you want to fight with injuries because you are afraid of rumors outside that will damage your reputation, I will be very disappointed in you. For a warrior, how can you give up a fair and exciting battle for a little reputation?!"
"Well, if you really care so much about your reputation, walk out of here today and I can publicly prove that you are indeed injured and have agreed to postpone the fight again!"
Hearing Leng Zhan's proposal, Xiaotang and the others who had been listening couldn't help but show a hint of joy. If Leng Zhan personally proved it publicly, the rumors would definitely be quelled immediately.
It's not like they hadn't thought about trying to use the cold war to prove it before, but think about it, because his sister was calm, the misunderstanding between him and Tang Zheng was not resolved, and he put more than 10,000 contributions from the academy to challenge Tang Zheng, wasn't it just to make Tang Zheng look bad?
Going to find this kind of person would probably only bring humiliation upon oneself, so Xiaotang and the others gave up the idea.
Who knew that Leng Zhan suddenly came over and made this proposal, which surprised Xiaotang and the others.
Tang Zheng was also somewhat curious about Leng Zhan's reaction, and raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you think I bullied your sister Leng Jing? Why did you think of helping me? Whether my reputation is damaged or I force myself to play, you should be happy to see it succeed, right?"
Hearing Tang Zheng mention calmness, Leng Zhan's mouth curled up slightly, but soon returned to a calm expression: "My sister's life and love are naturally controlled by herself. Although she is a girl, she is also a warrior. I have always believed that she can protect herself."
Tang Zheng was speechless when he heard Leng Zhan's words: "Hey, then you kept saying that I bullied your sister that day, and you were shouting and calling for a fight, and you attacked me without saying a word? What do you mean?"
Leng Zhan did not answer, but instead listed Tang Zheng's previous deeds: "You got full marks in three subjects in the entrance examination, and the number of nameplates you got in the practical examination broke the record I set. I just came back from training outside the border and heard about your deeds. It would be a pity not to fight such an interesting warrior."
When Tang Zheng heard Leng Zhan's tone, he suddenly understood: "So, what you mean is that helping your sister vent her anger is just an excuse to pick a fight with me? I just want to ask, are you a real brother?"
Leng Zhan suddenly nodded to everyone in the room again, turned around and walked away, saying, "It's time for me to practice, goodbye! If you have any clues or ways to find the person who hurt you, tell me and I will definitely help. People who ruin other people's fighting spirit deserve to die!"
