Chapter 1494 The Peak of His Life
“Zhang Yumeng has become the No. 1 Expert on the south coast.”
“Even Heavenly Hound is no match for her. She is too strong.”
“She’s now well-known in the sect. She’s still a new disciple, but she’s already made such achievements.”
The crowd in the surroundings discussed animatedly, and they were either exclaiming with admiration, sighing with emotion, or admiring Mengmeng.
Right then, Elder Tian Chen spoke up in a clear voice.
“It’s truly not easy for Zhang Yumeng to defeat the Heavenly Hound and become the No. 1 Expert on the south coast. Due to her outstanding performance, we made an exception and promoted her to an elder of the sect.”
Hiss!
As soon as he said that, many people present gasped, and even some high-position officials were a little dizzy. They couldn’t believe their ears.
“She has become an elder of the sect?
“It’s incredible.”
After thinking about it carefully, they suddenly guessed something.
If she didn’t have powerful connections, she wouldn’t have been able to do it so quickly.
It seemed that Zhang Yumeng had connections with the insiders and was highly regarded by Tian Chen.
“Elder Zhang Yumeng!”
“Elder.”
Even the Peak Master of the Swordbamboo Peak came over to greet Mengmeng. “I should call you Elder Zhang from now on.”
The elders of the sect were people of higher status than the Peak Masters.
If a disciple wanted to become an elder step by step, they would need to work hard for many years and make enough contributions.
It only took Mengmeng slightly more than a month to do this.
“She is the youngest elder in the history of our sect.”
“At the same time, she has spent the least time to become the No. 1 Expert on the south coast.”
Many people were discussing.
“If she challenges the most powerful expert on the north coast, Yun Han, then she’ll become the top expert in the younger generation of the sect.”
“She has broken too many records. She became a chief supervisor, a protector, and then an elder as a young talented disciple… She has too many titles.”
“…”
Not far away, Yun Han smiled bitterly.
“I’m afraid she’ll challenge me next. I’m no match for her.”
“Senior Brother Yun, why are you giving up so quickly? You can do it. Believe in yourself.”
Yun Han said, “Believe in my ass. Have a reality check.”
“All right.”
The crowd slowly dispersed, but Zhang Yumeng’s name swept across the entire Sword Sect like a storm.
Moreover, everyone was clearly aware that the other three major sects would find out about this very quickly.
After all, the Four Great Sects had their own spies or partners amongst the ordinary disciples and even some supervisors in other sects.
The situation of the Authentic Martial Arts Sect, the Heavenly Evil Sect, and the Crimson Sunglow Sect was no secret in the Ling Sea Sword Sect. Many people knew about it.
Obviously, the name Zhang Yumeng would gradually spread on the Vast Heaven Star.
However, Zhang Han and the others didn’t get to witness this.
Moreover, the No. 1 Expert on the north coast, Yun Han, did not receive any news of Mengmeng’s challenge.
Because Zhang Han and the others had already taken the spaceship to the Chu Family’s place.
This time, Mengmeng met many people.
Mu Xue, Zhao Feng, Ah Hu, Instructor Liu, Jiang Yanlan, Headmaster Shan, and others all showed their magical powers on the Vast Heaven Star. They left their sects, met on the affiliated planet, and left.
After they and Mengmeng saw each other, Mu Xue clicked her tongue in wonder. “Hey, little princess, you’re already so formidable now. You’re even the number one expert on the south coast of the Sword Sect. You’ve surpassed us.”
“Aunty Xue, you’re flattering me.”
The crowd returned to the Heavenly Double Star and had a gathering.
This time, they went back together to rest for a while.
The group set off on their return journey.
They found a Space Node, opened a passageway, and followed the Ancient Road of Starry Sky to the Domain of Seven Desolations.
“Lord Demon Overlord!”
Many demons greeted Zhang Han when they saw him.
A Demon Lord reported the news.
The Great Devil of the Demonic God Temple had heard that their Demon Overlord, Zhang Hanyang, had gradually stopped fighting.
However, the Demonic God Temple was several times larger.
Zhang Han was not very interested in being the Great Devil King.
He went straight back to the Sea Dragon Star Area.
The group made a trip to the Dragon Base Star.
Headmaster Shan left and returned to the academy.
The others went back to Earth.
This time, nothing unexpected happened. It was just as calm as before.
They arrived at Mount New Moon.
“It’s March 2nd.”
Yue Xiaonao said, “Turning on my phone now. There are a lot of messages.”
There were messages from Zheng Dan and Lv Zihan as well as Chen Yang and Counselor Hou’s missed calls.
“I’ll inform them. Shall we go back to school tomorrow or…?” Yue Xiaonao asked.
“Let’s go back tomorrow night.” Mengmeng nodded.
“Okay.”
They rested on Mount New Moon for a day and had a good time.
At seven o’clock the next evening, the two girls went straight back to school through the Space Portal.
“Let’s go back to the dormitory first.”
After a vacation, they needed to tidy up their beds in the dormitory.
They got back to their room.
“No one’s here?”
Mengmeng took out the key and opened the door. The room was very clean. Their beds had been tidied up, and the sheets and quilts had been cleaned and folded neatly.
“It’s obvious that Zihan has folded the sheets,” Yue Xiaonao said. “This girl is ingenious.”
“They should have gone to the restaurant,” Mengmeng said.
“Yeah,” Yue Xiaonao said. “I don’t know where Muen is. I’ll call her.”
As soon as she dialed the number, Li Muen ran over in a few minutes.
“Oh, Mengmeng, Xiaonao, you’re finally back.”
Having not seen them for two months, Li Muen missed them very much and smiled happily.
“Shall we go out for a walk?” Yue Xiaonao asked.
“Sure.”
The three of them quickly went out.
Walking on the campus at night, they enjoyed themselves as college students.
Mengmeng and Yue Xiaonao had just returned from the Astral Domain of Vast Heaven. The contrast made them also feel great staying on Earth.
They were very idle, enjoying the experience they were having.
They walked around and talked a lot until eight o’clock.
Mengmeng said, “Shall we go to the restaurant?”
“Okay. It’s still the same over there. Everything’s fine,” Li Muen said. “I’ll call Chen Yang.”
Beep! Beep!
After Li Muen dialed the number, her eyes gradually widened. She looked at Mengmeng and Yue Xiaonao.
“Well… Chen Yang has been arrested.”
“What? Arrested?” The two of them were stunned.
“Who arrested him? For what?”
Li Muen answered, “He’s at the police station.”
“What happened?”
They looked at each other and quickly walked out of the school.
An hour ago, Chen Yang was still in the restaurant.
He had spent only ten days in his hometown during the vacation.
He and Ye Xiaomu from Sci-Tech University came from the same city. Their mothers were old classmates and they were quite familiar with each other.
Chen Yang’s mother always joked that she liked Xiaomu. If these two young people could get married, the two families would be even closer.
However, Ye Xiaomu’s mother always refused. “No way.”
Chen Yang would occasionally visit Ye Xiaomu’s family.
He also visited her during the New Year.
Before the new semester began, Chen Yang returned to school, ran the restaurant, and even held an event.
Now there was a membership system, and there were many people who applied for a membership card.
The day before school started, Chen Yang saw Lv Zihan. He was now acting like a good friend to Lv Zihan. Since Mengmeng and the other girls warned him, he had become much more well-behaved.
“Alas!”
Chen Yang sat at the counter and chatted with Zheng Dan. “I heard that you have a part-time job?”
“How did you know? Did Zihan tell you?” Zheng Dan asked.
“Yeah.”
“My cousin is selling luxury goods. She’s got a boyfriend recently and wants more spare time. I will take her shifts on Saturday. I’m just doing it to have working experience.” Zheng Dan said, “I have been training for a few days. So? Are you interested in shopping, Childe Chen? You will buy me a purse, and then we can have a romantic night.”
“Ahem, please. I’m not interested in you.” Chen Yang shook his head.
“You don’t have a girlfriend. Why don’t we be together?” Zheng Dan said, pouting and blowing a kiss.
“Who said I don’t have a girlfriend?” Chen Yang glared at her and chuckled. “And I even have two.”
“Who are they? Your friend from Sci-Tech University? What about the other one?”
“The other one may be Zihan.”
“Hee-hee, forget it.” Zheng Dan sneered and said, “Aren’t you afraid that Mengmeng and Sister Nao will beat you up?”
“I am, so I only have one date now, and it hasn’t been confirmed yet,” Chen Yang said. “I won’t confirm my relationship so easily, tsk tsk.”
“You’re such a bad guy.” Zheng Dan said charmingly, “And I like it.”
“You’d better like someone else.”
Chen Yang clapped his hands and got up to receive the customers.
Right at this moment, his phone rang.
Zheng Dan saw the caller ID, which showed “little sheep”.
It was that girl from Sci-Tech University.
“Hey, little sheep.”
“Are you busy?”
“Even if I’m busy, I still have time to talk to you. What can I do for you?” Chen Yang said with a smile.
He could imagine Ye Xiaomu smiling on the other end of the line.
“Well, the members of our Student Union are having a dinner party today. It’s on the second floor of Drezor Restaurant. I guess it won’t end within an hour. It’s quite dark on the streets nearby, so can you come to pick me up?”
“Okay, I will pick you up in a luxury car later.”
“Don’t do that. If others see it, they will think that I’m probably some gold digger,” Ye Xiaomu said.
While they were talking, Chen Yang could hear that the environment on the other side became quite noisy, and there were a lot of people talking.
Ye Xiaomu was back in the private room.
“Xiaomu, come and take a seat here. Whom are you calling?” A man’s voice rang out.
“It’s my… male friend.” Ye Xiaomu stressed at the end of the sentence.
Originally, she wanted to say that it was her boyfriend. There were many guys wooing her in the school, including the Student Union. She wanted to address Chen Yang as her boyfriend on the phone and make those guys give up the idea.
But when she was about to say it, she remembered that Chen Yang had never pursued her or confessed his love to her, so she felt a little resentful.
At the same time, she was also reminding Chen Yang. “Do you want to make it serious or not?”
Chen Yang understood what she meant and laughed bitterly.
Recently, he was quite conflicted. He thought that he wanted to date a few girls when he was in college. He took a fancy to Lv Zihan, but he couldn’t date her. Now he was serious about his career, and he felt at a loss for what to do.
But something unexpected happened.
The man in the private room said loudly, “A male friend? Ha, you don’t need another guy to pick you up. Dude, leave Xiaomu to me. She won’t go back to school tonight.”
“Why won’t she go back to school? To be with him?”
Rumble!
Chen Yang felt astonished and alert when he heard that.
“Dong Da, are you drunk? Don’t make such a joke!” Ye Xiaomo said coldly.
Between her friends in the Student Union and Chen Yang, she chose Chen Yang without hesitation.
It got quiet for a while in the private room.
“Xiaomu, Dong Da is joking. Don’t be angry. Besides, he has been pursuing you for half a year. He is so sincere. I think you should be together.”
“Yeah. Brother Da is a rare rich young man in our department. I like him, but he ignores me.”
“…”
Some people were still echoing.
“Xiaomu, I’ll drive you home tonight. Why do you need someone else to pick you up?” Dong Da took advantage of his drunkenness and said, “Hey, dude on the line, I’ve kissed Xiaomu. Have you?”
Feeling dizzy, Dong Da deliberately said that. He was jealous and unwilling to give up. Looking at the sweet look Ye Xiaomu had on the phone, he was a little angry.
Embarrassed, Ye Xiaomu said angrily, “What nonsense are you spouting?”
Beep!
She hung up the phone.
The more they talked, the more chaotic things went.
Chen Yang’s face quickly turned red and then livid. He gritted his teeth and cursed, “Fuck!”
He even stopped entertaining customers.
Chen Yang strode out of the door, dialed his buddy’s number, and said angrily, “Xiao Ma, call our brothers to come to the pedestrian street. Fuck that guy. We’ll take him down!”
Clatter!
In less than two minutes, more than a dozen people ran out of an Internet cafe not far away.
Students liked to surf the Internet or stay up all night in that place.
“What’s going on, Chen Yang?”
“Who will we fight?”
Among the crowd, some were filled with righteous indignation.
Some people said, “Let’s calm down first. Don’t be impulsive. What happened exactly?”
“Let’s go to Drezor Restaurant!” Chen Yang said angrily.
At this time, Zheng Dan also ran out of the restaurant quickly.
“Chen Yang, you…”
Before she could say anything, the group of people started running.
They were still very familiar with the environment on the pedestrian street.
Drezor Restaurant was located on the side of the main street. Its food was nice and it was a place where the students had gatherings.
Because the road was under construction, the street lights were turned off and it was slightly dim.
“Chen Yang!”
Zheng Dan shouted from behind. Seeing that they were getting farther and farther away, she ran out of breath and followed them quickly.
When they were about to arrive at the restaurant, Chen Yang’s phone rang again.
He didn’t pick it up.
From a distance, he seemed to be able to see that Ye Xiaomu was on the side of the street with a man next to her, who wanted to hold her arm.
“It’s him!”
Chen Yang’s eyes widened in anger.
“Go get him!”
They ran even faster.
Seeing this, Dong Da, who was on the other side, was a little drunk and confused, but he knew that they were up to no good.
He quickly retreated.
But he was not as fast as them.
“Chen Yang! Don’t do it!”
Ye Xiaomu wanted to stop him, but she failed.
Swoosh!
Chen Yang rushed over and kicked Dong Da to the ground.
Dong Da curled up. Facing punches and kicks, he was already quite dumbfounded.
At this time, several students of the Student Union, who had been waiting to see Dong Da woo Ye Xiaomu in front of the restaurant, saw this scene.
“Holy shit!”
The five students rushed over. Dong Da was rich and knew some powerful people. If those students helped him at this time, they might build a good relationship with him.
Therefore, they were willing to do it without hesitation.
One of them turned around and ran to the second floor to call for help.
As a result, the scene became chaotic.
After a chaotic fight, the two sides distanced themselves from each other and continued to quarrel.
Ten minutes later, they were taken away by the police.
On the way, Chen Yang received a call from Li Muen.
Then, the girls knew what happened to him.
Mengmeng, Li Muen, and Yue Xiaonao quickly left the school.
They arrived at the restaurant.
“Give me the car key.”
Mengmeng took the car key from a waiter and drove the Panamera to the police station.
At this time, the officers were dealing with this matter.
Chen Yang’s mouth was slightly swollen as he was punched.
The others were almost fine, but two of them were also a little bruised. Dong Da was the most miserable one. His body was covered with footprints, and his ears were bruised, but it wasn’t serious.
Both sides were being reprimanded.
Since the fight didn’t cause severe consequences, the police mediated between the two parties. Chen Yang and his friends were okay with the result, and some of them were even frightened. It would be bad if they were detained. As for Dong Da, his friends were indignant at first, but the matter was not resolved until Dong Da said that he was fine and was willing to mediate.
“Fortunately, you didn’t cause a big disaster. You are all top students. Why are you so impulsive? If you have done something excessive, won’t you regret it for the rest of your life? If you are expelled from school, the university that you have worked so hard to get into, your life will be ruined. How disappointed will your parents be…”
After a round of criticism, they were allowed to leave.
Dong Da and the others left first.
When they left, they didn’t notice the car on the side of the road.
Dong Da even added, “How dare he hit me? I’ll fucking kill him. He’ll just wait and see.”
“He’s gone too far. I can’t believe Ye Xiaomu called some guys from another school.”
“…”
It could be said that they shared the same enemy.
Mengmeng made a face and said, “This guy knows how to instigate others to fight.”
“All guys would do it,” Yue Xiaonao said while eating a lollipop. “Don’t they all have righteous ardor?”
“I don’t think so. You mean the ones in the martial arts world, right? There are always fights,” Li Muen said. “We’re now living in a peaceful society. It’s not good to fight. Not only will we suffer physical pain, but it will also cost us a lot of money.”
“But it seems that those people still want to make trouble for Chen Yang,” Li Muen added.
“I heard them,” Yue Xiaonao said casually. “That guy wants to pull strings and get Chen Yang fired. Mengmeng, will help Representative Chen out?”
“Huh? Why are you only asking me? Can’t you do it as well?” Mengmeng was stunned.
“They want to compete with us in connections, but we don’t know any powerful figure here,” Yue Xiaonao said casually.
“That’s right, that’s right. Mengmeng, you’re omnipotent. You’ll help Representative Chen get through this,” Li Muen joked.
“Come on, I think you’re flattering me.” Mengmeng spread out her hands and looked helpless.
A few minutes later, Chen Yang and the others came out of the police station.
Beside him, Ye Xiaomu was very dull and did not speak.
The other boys were all chatting.
“Fortunately, the consequences are not severe.”
“Damn it, it was too fierce just now. I couldn’t see anyone within a radius of more than ten meters.”
“You’re right about that. You just fucking kicked me.”
“Did I? I didn’t see it clearly either. It was all black shadows. I couldn’t tell who was on our side.”
“…”
In the car, Li Muen said, “We won’t get out of the car. I’ll make a phone call and tell him.
“Representative Chen, we are in the car next to you. Mengmeng, Xiaonao, and I will go back first. You can ask Sister Meng for help when you need it.”
After saying goodbye, the girls left.
Along the way, Ye Xiaomu remained silent and did not talk to Chen Yang.
Soon, they arrived at the school gate.
“Brothers, go back first. I’ll treat you to dinner tomorrow,” Chen Yang said with a smile.
“Okay.”
“Looking forward to your treat tomorrow.”
“Call me if you need anything.”
“…”
After they said goodbye, only Chen Yang and Ye Xiaomu were left.
They walked into the campus of Sci-Tech University and went to the girls’ dormitory. When they passed by a path under some trees, Chen Yang spoke up.
“Hey, don’t be mad. I was impulsive, but that guy was asking for a beating with what he said. He dared to say that you would not go back to school at night and said that he kissed you.”
“And you believed that?” Ye Xiaomu glared at Chen Yang.
“I didn’t believe it, but I was angry to hear it.”
Chen Yang let out a long breath as if he had made up his mind.
He grabbed her hand, stood opposite her, and said, “Actually, I care about you much more than I imagined.”
“You…” Ye Xiaomu bit her lip. “I couldn’t stop you, and you didn’t listen to me…”
Suddenly, Chen Yang hugged her, lowered his head, and kissed her quickly, leaving her no chance to speak.
Ye Xiaomu’s gaze froze for a moment and then softened.
Moments later, the kiss ended.
Chen Yang whispered, “You’re mine.”
“Are you confessing your love to me?” Ye Xiaomu asked blankly.
“No, it’s not a confession. It’s an announcement,” Chen Yang said.
“That’s so domineering.”
Ye Xiaomu gently touched the corner of Chen Yang’s mouth and asked, “Does it still hurt?”
“No.”
Chen Yang smiled and glanced in the direction of his university.
Three people flashed through his mind, who were Mengmeng, Yue Xiaonao, and Li Muen.
He felt that if he could make friends with the three of them, who were his benefactors, he would be able to save himself 20 years of hard work.
But at the same time, Chen Yang could bring them some fun and help them during their college life.
