Chapter 72 Overestimating One's Abilities
Ling Fan had sent Yun Fei home and was about to deal with Hong Dewei's private villa through Vermilion Bird when he received a call from Xu Miaotong.
"Brother Fan, did you arrange a fight with Lei Ming Martial Arts Pavilion at the school?" Xu Miaotong anxiously asked on the phone.
Ling Fan frowned, "What happened?"
"The people from Lei Ming Martial Arts Pavilion waited for you for a long time and said you wouldn't be coming. They took out their anger on Zi Qiong and the others!" Xu Miaotong hesitated. Your journey continues at empire
"Hmm, I know. I got held up with something today. I'll be right there, don't worry!" Ling Fan reassured her and then hung up the phone.
At that moment, Yun Fei, like a gentle little woman, snuggled into Ling Fan's chest. Once a woman took that step forward, everything felt different, even her mindset had changed.
"Do you have matters to attend to?" Yun Fei asked softly.
"Hmm, you just rest at home. There won't be any problems now, don't be scared. I'll take care of your safety!" Ling Fan reassured her.
"Hmm, I have a request!" Yun Fei murmured with affection.
Ling Fan was curious, "Um, go ahead. As long as it's within my capabilities!"
"Well, I know Chu Bing is officially the main wife, so I won't compete with her for favor. But when there's no one around, just the two of us, can I call you 'husband'?" Yun Fei asked expectantly.
Ling Fan sighed internally, feeling guilty. Having many women wasn't necessarily a good thing. Yun Fei's request was not unreasonable at all, yet he couldn't give her any formal status.
Immediately he embraced her, whispering, "Go ahead, call me anything. I'll explain things to Chu Bing later!"
"Hmm, husband, let me do the explanation. It's better if I handle the matters between women. Trust me!" Yun Fei said, her face full of happiness.
She remembered that day at the entrance of Yun Xuan, Xiao Chubing didn't seem to mind much. Maybe it wouldn't be so hard!
Still, just in case, she had prepared for the worst, believing that however it went, she would gain Xiao Chubing's acceptance and understanding!
"Well... okay then!" Ling Fan replied, somewhat distressed.
In the past, he feared neither heaven nor earth, drifting through a sea of flowers without a care, which was why he'd talked about romance but never committed to love. Now, by giving his heart, he had also found something to worry about.
...
Inside Binzhou University, in front of the Fighting Stage located at the center of the campus, more than a thousand students had gathered.
The location of the Fighting Stage was quite special, subtly placed within the line of sight of the principal and the teacher's office.
The Fighting Stage was where different Martial Arts Pavilions settled disputes, essentially serving as an arena. Members of the Martial Arts Academy occasionally came here to spar.
But for the past two years, there had been no one who challenged a Martial Arts Pavilion alone!
Especially a member of the lowest-ranked Martial Arts Pavilion in the entire academy challenging one of the top ten Martial Arts Pavilions was unprecedented. As a result, almost every student who didn't have classes or other obligations rushed to the scene.
At that moment, in front of the Fighting Stage, Lei Ming, the president of Lei Ming Martial Arts Pavilion, Su Ziming, the vice president, and six of the remaining intact top fighters stood in front of the members of the Zi Qiong Martial Arts Pavilion.
The remaining members of the Lei Ming Martial Arts Pavilion formed a circle, surrounding Zi Qiong and her group in the middle.
Everyone watched the confronting sides in silence. However, compared to Lei Ming's numerous and strong presence, Zi Qiong's few people seemed too insignificant, like a solitary boat in the vast ocean.
"F*cking hell, the only way out for you Zi Qiong today is to disband immediately. Do you really think that bringing in some bumpkin can set you soaring into the skies?
That dumbass called Ling Fan, right? Fine, if I can't leave him unable to care for himself today, I swear on my mom!" Su Ziming was so angry he felt like exploding.
"Su Ziming, don't go too far. You were the ones who bullied us first, and Ling Fan was merely fighting back. Plus, today's just a friendly match. If you dare go overboard, the school's leaders are secretly watching!" Su Qiong retorted sharply.
"Heh, a woman who only knows a bit of trivial kung fu also trying to set up a Martial Arts Pavilion. If it weren't for the fact that you share the Su surname, I would have crippled you long ago.
And make this clear, I mean your Martial Arts Pavilion must disband immediately!" Su Ziming shouted aggressively.
Su Qiong's face turned extremely ugly. Su Ziming was her second uncle Su Wenrui's son, as well as her cousin, but Su Ziming and other members of the Su Family treated her family almost like enemies, which she couldn't understand at all.
"On what basis are you demanding us to disband? Who do you think you are?" Su Qiong exclaimed angrily. The Zi Qiong Martial Arts Pavilion was her painstaking effort; disbanding was out of the question.
"Heh, on what basis?"
Su Ziming's expression darkened, and he suddenly burst out, "Just because my fists are harder than yours, got a problem with that?"
Saying that, Su Ziming pointed at the six girls behind Su Qiong including Zhou Siyu, "I'm giving you one minute to think it over. Anyone who doesn't leave, I'll break your limbs, and I'll do it every time I see you!"
The girls of the Zi Qiong Martial Arts Pavilion were instantly terrified, and Zhou Siyu angrily said, "Su Ziming, don't overdo it. Just wait until Ling Fan gets here. You're going to get it!"
Su Ziming turned his head, looking at Zhou Siyu, "What did you say? Wait for Ling Fan to come?"
"May I ask which of you below is the Great God Ling Fan? Come up and let us admire your grace. I'm waiting to see how good you look!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
With Su Ziming's cry, the thousand people below fell utterly silent, all craning their necks in anticipation. They also wanted to know how extraordinary this legendary Ling Fan was, daring to challenge the entire Lei Ming Martial Arts Pavilion alone.
The crowd waited expectantly for a long while, but no one responded.
Su Ziming, pointing at Zhou Siyu, mocked, "Motherf*cker, we from the Lei Ming Martial Arts Pavilion have been waiting here for two hours now, and that Ling Fan is so scared he doesn't even dare fart. I think he has probably turned tail and run back to his mother's womb!"
"Hahaha..."
The members of the Lei Ming Martial Arts Pavilion burst into uproarious laughter, and even the spectators below revealed knowing smiles, whispering among themselves.
"Do you think that Ling Fan, the one who supposedly has the courage of a bear and a leopard, really dared to challenge the Lei Ming Martial Arts Pavilion alone? Half a day has passed and he's still nowhere to be seen. He really might be too scared to come!" someone muttered.
"Damn, right? If he truly doesn't show up, he'll have screwed those few people from Zi Qiong, casting harsh words then letting a few women take the brunt. He's really nothing!" another person angrily cursed.
"If you ask me, he's probably too scared to show up. It's about time; if he were going to come, he would have been here by now. He was probably drunk that day, and now that he's sobered up, he's likely hiding in some corner crying his eyes out!" another person sneered.
Listening to the chatter below, Su Ziming felt immensely satisfied and pointed at Su Qiong and her group, sneering, "Just you few shrimps and crabs also daring to oppose our Lei Ming Martial Arts Pavilion, you're really freaking deluding yourselves!"
