Chapter 545: Chapter 540: Challenge Wu Shentong? How Will You Do It?

Zhang Youlin left.

He departed by helicopter, very quickly.

Watching the helicopter vanish into the steel forest of Dongfang Capital, Zhang Wei and Xia Qianyue looked at each other.

"This guy is so arrogant, huh?"

This was Xia Qianyue’s reaction.

"Did this kid come here today just to throw down a gauntlet at us?"

Zhang Wei stared at the distant sky, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Then we need to be a bit more careful, his martial arts skills are passable."

"Passable?"

Thinking back to just now, when the guy ran across rooftops and climbed onto the helicopter with just a pair of legs, you call that passable?

Oh, right!

Zhang Wei glanced at Xia Qianyue.

Whether it’s passable, that depends on who you compare it with.

"Silly, if you put that kid and your brother together, who would be more formidable?"

"Maybe, probably, perhaps, he might be a little bit more powerful."

"Got it."

The strength of Zhang Youlin might be a bit greater than that of her future brother-in-law, but generally speaking, he was no match for Xia Qianyue.

In the whole of Dongfang Capital, probably only Hua Chaoli, the younger brother of Hua Chaoqun, could stand a fight with Silly.

Zhang Wei felt fortunate to have a "Saiyan" by his side, at least there were no worries about safety.

"By the way, Zhang Wei, where do we go next?"

"Hehe, next, we’re going to force that adulterer to turn himself in!"

Seeing Xia Qianyue bring up serious matters, the corners of Zhang Wei’s mouth immediately curled into a cold smirk.

Speaking of which, it was the appearance of Zhang Youlin that provided him with an idea.

An idea to turn defeat into victory!

So Zhang Wei really had to thank the son of Zhang Tianlong.

Your dad is dumb, your second uncle is dumb, your third uncle is even dumber, and it seems you’re not far off.

Truly a chip off the old block!

Zhang Wei began taking action with Xia Qianyue.

...

On the outskirts of Dongfang Capital.

Wu Family Estate, reception hall.

Wu Yuanzong returned to the Wu Family Estate and then ordered his subordinates to quickly make him a cup of tea to relax.

Soon, the tea arrived.

"Ah—"

He picked up the teacup and drained its contents in one gulp, then let out a long sigh.

"Second Master Wu, why do you sigh?"

A young man walked in and, upon seeing Wu Yuanzong’s expression, hurriedly inquired.

"Renjie, Zhang Youlin has come back..."

"What, he really came back!"

The young man was Wu Renjie.

Ever since the martial arts tournament, where he crossed fists with Xia Qian – well, calling it crossing fists would be flattering him, it was more like a one-sided crush.

In any case, that left him severely injured and nearly cost him his life.

Luckily, with the Wu Family’s precious resources and nearly a lifetime of effort from Wu Shentong, he was barely saved.

After many days, Wu Renjie had finally recovered.

But just as he regained the ability to move, he heard this terrible "bad news."

Wu Renjie’s face immediately clouded over, and intense resentment flashed in his eyes.

"Damn it, I was aiming to make a name for myself at the martial arts tournament, but instead..."

Indeed!

He had hoped to triumph in the martial arts tournament, make a splash in the Martial Arts Realm, and with the halo of the Martial Arts Realm, gain entry into the upper echelons of Dongfang Capital.

What he didn’t expect was for a "monster" to appear at that tournament.

He didn’t just lose badly in the final match to that person, but also got severely injured, nearly losing his life.

No one will remember a loser.

Wu Renjie was that loser.

He lost not just the first place, but also the chance to challenge Wu Shentong and the opportunity to enter the high society of Dongfang Capital.

Now, Zhang Youlin has returned.

This meant that Wu Renjie no longer had any chance to make a mark.

After all, Zhang Youlin was considered the number one among the young generation of the Five Great Families - the future of Dongfang Capital was undoubtedly his to dominate.

As for himself, he would forever only play a supporting role, just an inconspicuous green leaf by Zhang Youlin’s side.

"It’s all that girl’s fault. I must defeat her and wash away the bitterness in my heart!"

Wu Renjie clenched his fists, his tone filled with resentment.

"Report, Second Master, there’s someone outside..."

Just at that moment, a subordinate rushed in, panic-stricken.

"What’s the matter, making such a fuss over nothing!"

Wu Yuanzong’s face showed displeasure. This was the Wu Family Estate, after all, and our Wu Family is one of the Five Great Families of Dongfang Capital.

As a member of the Wu Family, how could you be in such a fluster? Where’s your dignity?

"Second Master, outside, outside..."

The subordinate merely pointed outside, too nervous to finish his sentence.

"What’s happened outside?"

"Outside, they say someone wants to challenge the old family head!"

"What, challenge my father?"

Wu Yuanzong was shocked, but quickly, the astonishment on his face was replaced with anger.

"Hmph, who is it that’s so presumptuous, daring to challenge my father? Does he even have the qualifications, the ability?"

"Second Master, there are quite a few people outside..."

"So a bunch of people have come, huh? Hmph!"

Wu Yuanzong laughed coldly, furious as he spoke: "I want to see for myself who’s got the nerve to provoke the Wu Family!"

"Renjie, come with me!"

"Yes, Second Uncle!"

Wu Yuanzong, accompanied by Wu Renjie and a host of Wu Family guards, charged out of the estate.

At the entrance of the estate, they encountered quite a number of people.

Or rather, a group of journalists.

Click, click, click!

When Wu Yuanzong stepped out with Wu Renjie, countless flashes went off, accompanied by the continuous sound of shutters clicking.

Under the flashes, Wu Yuanzong’s vision was slightly blurred, and he couldn’t see who the challenger was.

"Who is it that wants to challenge the Wu Family?" he could only shout loudly, intimidating the whole scene.

"It’s us!"

But in the next moment, the journalists split to either side, and several figures walked through.

"It’s you, Zhang Wei, and..."

Wu Yuanzong saw the person at the forefront, his expression turned cold, for that person was indeed Zhang Wei.

But when he saw who was beside Zhang Wei, his face instantly turned grim.

Because the newcomer was Xia Qianyue.

As for Zhang Wei, Wu Yuanzong naturally loathed him to the core.

And as for Xia Qianyue, fear and astonishment filled Wu Yuanzong’s heart.

He was astounded by her combat strength, and equally fearful of it.

Moreover, she had the power to defeat Wu Shentong, and also held the qualifications to challenge him.

At this moment, Zhang Wei had brought Xia Qianyue with him.

And all these journalists had been called over by him.

Not only that, to prevent the Wu Family from denying the challenge, Zhang Wei had also called some elders from the martial arts realm to support their cause.

Such as Master Huang Tianhong from the Yangxin Hall, and Master Hong, the old beggar from the Folk Martial Artists Association.

"Wu Yuanzong, hurry up and call your father out. I know he’s at home in seclusion!" Master Hong stopped playing dumb, looking at Wu Yuanzong while he chuckled mischievously.

"Wu Yuanzong, your father previously reneged on the challenge from this young lady. Now that they demand a rematch, why not call your father out and have him face her again?" Master Huang also joined in, throwing his weight behind the challenge.

The so-called rematch was naturally the dispute for the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch between Xia Qianyue and Wu Shentong.

"This..."

Seeing such a lineup, Wu Yuanzong immediately felt unsettled.

He had never imagined that the matter of the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch would resurge.

As far as he knew, Xia Qianyue was busy with her work and wouldn’t likely have the time to so publicly challenge Wu Shentong.

But not only had she come, she had brought along so many journalists for support. What should he do now?

Refuse?

That seemed to be the only option, right?

"My father has recently been in seclusion, this matter of the challenge..."

"What? Is Wu Shentong scared, conceding, starting to make excuses?"

Just as Wu Yuanzong was about to explain, Zhang Wei interrupted him directly.

"Second Master Wu, is your dad frightened? Is that why he’s always using seclusion as an excuse?"

"My father is a martial artist; it’s quite common for him to be in seclusion for months!"

"Oh, Is that so?"

Zhang Wei’s eyes flicked about, and then he smiled and said, "How long has your dad been in seclusion, and when does he plan to emerge?"

"My father has been in seclusion for over a month. As for the date of his emergence, I’m not clear!"

Wu Yuanzong said, casting an annoyed glance at Zhang Wei.

If you didn’t have so many reporters around you, and if Xia Qianyue weren’t here, would I need to explain myself to you?

"Oh, so your dad has been in seclusion for a month now?"

Zhang Wei said, directly pulling out a photo from his pocket before walking up to Wu Yuanzong.

"Second Master Wu, how would you explain this photo then?"

Wu Yuanzong looked closely and was immediately taken aback.

It was an aerial view of the Wu Family Estate’s martial arts training ground, and right in the center of the ground stood a person, unmistakably Wu Shentong.

The timestamp on the photo was from this morning.

"Everyone take a look, the Wu Family is really scraping the bottom of the barrel to avoid the fight. This morning, Wu Shentong was still out loosening his limbs, so how come this afternoon he’s suddenly been in seclusion for a month?"

Zhang Wei flicked the photo in his hand, making sure the reporters around could see it, then questioned Wu Yuanzong, "Second Master Wu, can your father clone himself, or is he really chickening out, using such an outdated excuse like seclusion as a shield to avoid a fight?"

"You..."

Wu Yuanzong was furious but helpless.

Using seclusion as an excuse, and here you are slapping me in the face with a photo, what can I do?

In fact, his dad wasn’t in seclusion at all but rather resting within the estate.

But his dad had a rule, that he wouldn’t see any challengers.

If every Tom, Dick, and Harry could come challenge me, then wouldn’t the status of Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch be devalued?

Those were Wu Shentong’s exact words, and his ability to act like a big shot was even better than those stars in the entertainment industry.

So, when it came to accepting challenges, Wu Yuanzong, as the Wu Family’s decision-maker, would usually find excuses to brush them off.

"Wu Yuanzong, hurry up and have your dad come out, we all know he’s within the estate!"

Master Hong couldn’t hold back anymore, pointing towards the manor and laughing again.

"You wouldn’t want these reporters to go back and write up that your dad is a coward, would you?"

"Old Master Hong, you..."

"Second Master Wu, it’s meaningless to give Master Hong a hard time!"

Zhang Wei also immediately jumped out, shouting, "Second Master Wu, let me ask you here and now, what does the Wu Family mean by this? Neither fighting nor retreating, and not even showing Wu Shentong’s face?"

"How dare you, my father is not someone who fears death!"

"Then call your father out!"

Zhang Wei pulled Xia Qianyue out of the crowd and shouted again, "Last time, the battle for the Hierarch of the Martial Arts Alliance was inconclusive. This time, we want to settle it with the old Hierarch, please enlighten us!"

After speaking, he winked at Xia Qianyue.

She immediately understood, stepping forward and taking a deep breath.

"I, Xia Qianyue, the junior, hereby challenge the senior Wu Shentong for the position of the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, please enlighten me!"

Compared to Zhang Wei, Xia Qianyue’s voice was much stronger, echoing through the entire Wu Family Estate like a voice from a deep valley.

Regrettably, even such a voice failed to lure Wu Shentong out.

Behind them, the reporters, seeing this, began to take pictures, and some even pulled out their notepads, drafting their report on the spot.

"Are the people of the Wu Family really cowards?"

"The old Hierarch is hiding instead of fighting; he’s obviously scared of that young girl!"

"Indeed, it’s the new waves pushing the old ones; the old waves die on the beach!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, there’s a story here. It seems like there’s a story today. The old Hierarch Wu Shentong is dodging the battle; looks like it’s about time he relinquished his position!"

The reporters whispered among themselves, but their voices quickly grew louder.

They couldn’t help it; they had strength in numbers and were on the right side of the argument, bold enough to be unrestrained.

This isn’t making a ruckus, this is riding the momentum!

If the Wu Family has the guts, call out Wu Shentong.

Can’t call him out, can you? Then don’t blame us for being impolite.

Listening to the reporters’ whispers, Wu Yuanzong’s face finally couldn’t hold back the strain.

But he also knew how terrifying Xia Qianyue’s fighting power was, so he dared not act out.

"Outrageous, my grandfather isn’t someone you reporters can comment on rashly!"

But just because Wu Yuanzong held back didn’t mean the rest of the Wu Family could, like Wu Renjie, who couldn’t suppress his rage and exploded at this moment.

"And why can’t we comment?"

Upon seeing this, one reporter immediately started mocking, "We are reporters; our job is to critique others. Wu Shentong is the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch; he should accept challenges. By hiding and not fighting, it’s clear he’s chickened out!"

"You..."

Wu Renjie, seeing even a mere reporter daring to shout like this, visibly couldn’t hold back anymore and was about to make a move.

"Oh, look who it is. Isn’t this Wu Renjie?"

But someone blocked his way, none other than Zhang Wei.

"Wu Renjie, haven’t seen you in a few days, finally recovered, have you!"

Seeing Wu Renjie, Zhang Wei’s laugh grew even more unrestrained, "By the way, it must have really stung to lose to my Silly boy last time. Since you’re here, how about another round?"

"This..."

Wu Renjie, upon seeing Xia Qianyue, instantly felt his arrogance vanish.

With anyone else, Wu Renjie might not have been afraid.

But the psychological shadow Xia Qianyue left on him was too profound.

Now, merely seeing her made every bone in Wu Renjie’s body ache!

As for his so-called revenge earlier, that was all said in anger and couldn’t be taken seriously!

"What, are all you Wu Family members cowards, not a single one of you willing to step forward and accept the challenge?"

Seeing that Wu Renjie was hesitant to answer, and Wu Shentong nowhere to be found, Zhang Wei taunted them again.

"Wu Yuanzong, Second Master Wu, as a member of the Wu Family, you should be skilled in martial arts, right?"

Although he did not understand why Zhang Wei was addressing him, Wu Yuanzong immediately replied, "I may not be a top expert, but as a member of the Wu Family, I have naturally never neglected this skill!"

Zhang Wei quickly leaned in, smiled wickedly, and suggested, "Well then, how about you have a match with our Silly, what do you say?"

"This..."

To fight Xia Qianyue, Wu Yuanzong thought you must be kidding.

If my own father isn’t her match, how could I possibly defeat her!

When Wu Yuanzong said he had not neglected his martial arts skills, in truth, he was just trying to save face.

As a decision-maker for the Wu Family, managing such a large family, where would he find the time to practice martial arts.

At best, he practiced with Wu Shentong and his elder brother when he was younger, but as the years passed and he became busy with the family affairs, his martial arts skills had long since dwindled.

If you asked him to deal with three to five ordinary people, he might easily win since he still had the fundamentals of kung fu.

But to confront a master, that was a different story.

Against a super master like Xia Qianyue, who could defeat Wu Shentong, what could Wu Yuanzong do, bang his head against her?

Forget about fighting, his head would probably get smashed.

Hence, Wu Yuanzong dared not respond further.

After all, fighting was out of the question.

"What’s the matter, what’s going on with the Wu Family?"

"Neither fighting nor retreating, just indecisive. What happened to the famed spirit of the martial arts family?"

Zhang Wei, seeing that no one from the Wu Family dared respond, taunted them once more.

Similarly, Xia Qianyue also called out to the estate, "Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch Wu Shentong, please enlighten me!"

"Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch Wu Shentong, please enlighten me!"

"Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch Wu Shentong, please enlighten me!"

"Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch Wu Shentong, please..."

Their challenges echoed repeatedly.

Yet Wu Shentong still did not appear.

Clearly, the old man was too scared.

He knew he was no match for Xia Qianyue, so he didn’t dare show his face.

"What’s going on, is Wu Shentong really going to be a shrinking turtle, it’s just... all honor is lost!"

Zhang Wei cursed again, this time pointing directly at Wu Yuanzong’s nose.

Wu Yuanzong’s face was twisted with anger, and next to him, Wu Renjie’s expression was even more distorted.

But with so many reporters watching, and with Master Huang and Master Hong nearby, they couldn’t make a scene.

If they hadn’t been in public, they would have made Zhang Wei regret his words.

"Young man, what exactly do you want?" Wu Yuanzong had no choice but to sneak up to Zhang Wei and ask in a low voice.

He knew that Zhang Wei wouldn’t have brought Xia Qianyue to issue a challenge without reason; there must be some ulterior motive.

"Not too dumb, are you!"

Zhang Wei, seeing that Wu Yuanzong had finally caught on, smiled faintly.

"Second Master Wu, I don’t really want much, just a small favor from you!"

"What is it!"

"This matter is related to you as well. Do you remember when we first sought you out and asked you about Gu Shimang?"

"Shi Man!"

Upon hearing Zhang Wei’s words, Wu Yuanzong was immediately taken aback.

As expected!

Zhang Wei’s challenge to his father was actually for this reason.

"What are you talking about, I have no idea!" Wu Yuanzong immediately shook his head, denying everything.

"Is that so?"

Seeing that Wu Yuanzong still wanted to deny it, Zhang Wei gave Xia Qianyue a signal.

"Wu Shentong, are you really going to cower away?"

"I once respected you as a senior in the martial arts realm, but you choose to avoid battle, you’re truly nothing but a coward!"

"Wu Shentong, if you won’t fight, at least send someone out to relay a message. Why do you continue to hide? Are you perhaps so afraid of losing the position of Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch that you’re resorting to such despicable behavior?"

"Is the position of Alliance Hierarch truly worth losing all your dignity for..."

Xia Qianyue’s taunting voice drowned out everything else, reverberating throughout the entire Wu Family Estate.

Wu Yuanzong, hearing these words and seeing the excited expressions of the reporters, immediately felt his face contort with rage.

"Young man, do you really want to go down this path?"

"Second Master Wu, the initiative is in our hands now. If you don’t want the Wu Family’s century-old foundation to crumble in an instant, I advise you to cooperate with us properly!"

In that moment, Zhang Wei revealed a sinister cold smile.

He had no other choice, for he had seized the Wu Family’s lifeline!

Now, whoever has the louder voice is in the right!
