Chapter 780: Chapter 790: Poor Student!

Tang Zhong was still searching the surrounding area for the mountain related to the word "zen," knowing that the treasure map was many years old and, with the shifting of the Earth’s crust, the mountain would certainly have moved as well. Thus, Tang Zhong couldn’t afford to miss any mountain.

It would be pretty speechless for him if he knew he was already being watched by someone—it really wasn’t any different from getting shot while lying down.

He stopped, looked up, and wondered which of the many mountain ranges in front of him it could be.

Looking at the image on the treasure map, it surely wasn’t Jade Emperor Peak!

Just then, a sweet voice suddenly came from behind Tang Zhong.

"Hello, are you climbing the mountain by yourself?"

Tang Zhong turned to see Mi Sicha stepping forward with a smile, speaking towards his back.

As a woman from the water towns of Jiangnan, she liked to follow her instincts. From the figure before her, she sensed a story; this man had completely captivated her, and her heart throbbed, urging her to greet him.

Tang Zhong was too focused to take any notice of her words, continuing onwards.

Mi Sicha’s face changed instantaneously behind him, a touch of disappointment coloring her mood.

Chang Ming and Liu Feng, on the other hand, who already harbored animosity towards Tang Zhong, were even more surprised to see Mi Sicha greeting that guy. In that moment, Chang Ming and Liu Feng really felt like strangling each other. But seeing Tang Zhong ignoring Mi Sicha, they instantly became infuriated.

Seeing Mi Sicha unhappy, Chang Ming quickly comforted her, "Chacha, are you okay? That guy must be absolutely deaf, otherwise he wouldn’t miss the chance to greet a beauty like you!"

Liu Feng, not wanting Chang Ming to steal his lines, quickly added, "Exactly, that’s it!"

Truth be told, Mi Sicha was quite dejected that the other party had ignored her.

Seeing Mi Sicha still upset, Chang Ming immediately patted his chest and said, "Chacha, just wait, that guy has upset you, and I’m going to teach him a lesson right now!"

"I’m coming too!" Liu Feng couldn’t be outdone by Chang Ming. The two men had to act in unison, otherwise, if Chacha were to fall for that guy, wouldn’t that be terrible?

"Don’t..." Mi Sicha was anxious and quickly tried to stop them.

"Don’t worry Chacha, we won’t be too harsh, we’ll just give that kid a little lesson!" Chang Ming said.

A lesson!

Mi Sicha knew all too well what that entailed.

"You mustn’t go. If you do, I’ll break off our friendship!" Mi Sicha cried out in haste.

She glanced at Tang Zhong; with his build, if he really were to fight with Chang Ming and the others, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.

And the guy hadn’t done anything wrong to deserve getting beaten up, had he?

As soon as Chang Ming and Liu Feng heard her, they immediately became agitated, hastening to say, "Alright, alright, we won’t go!"

But internally, they were even more infuriated, realizing that Mi Sicha was actually defending that guy, which really didn’t sit well with them.

They then fiercely glared at Tang Zhong, "Damn it, it seems we’ll have to drive that guy off Lan Mountain, otherwise Mi Sicha might encounter him again, and if that happens, she might greet him. That result would be anything but good."

Chang Ming and Liu Feng exchanged glances, coming to a mutual understanding.

The climb continued.

Tang Zhong kept searching, which meant he was moving rather slowly.

In this way, Mi Sicha could easily keep up with Tang Zhong’s pace. The more she observed his silhouette, the more she felt there was a story to him; this man was truly captivating. What a pity that when she had called out his name before, he hadn’t paid any attention to her.

Next to her, Chang Ming and Liu Feng’s anger continued to grow.

Finally, after more than two hours,

they reached the mountain summit.

Jade Emperor Peak was right in front of them.

Tang Zhong stood in front of the ancient temple, looking at the continuous mountains ahead. Throughout this journey, Tang Zhong had been observing his surroundings, but with no results to show for it. Not to mention a stone carved with the character "Zen," he couldn’t even find a single character.

Could it be that he had taken the wrong path?

This was also Tang Zhong’s first trip to Lan Mountain, so he decided it might be best to ask someone else. Turning his head, he saw a girl and immediately said, "Do you know if this is the only path up Lan Mountain?"

The girl was none other than Mi Sicha. She had been walking all the way without stopping, always contemplating whether or not to talk to that person. What she didn’t expect was for now this person to actually initiate a conversation with her, which totally stunned her. But wasn’t this exactly what she needed?

Without hesitation, Mi Sicha said, "Yes, there’s only this one path up Lan Mountain!"

Before coming to Lan Mountain, Mi Sicha had indeed looked through quite a few guides.

Tang Zhong nodded thoughtfully.

"Then thank you!"

Tang Zhong looked at the mountains, realizing that finding that particular mountain was going to be quite difficult.

Mi Sicha felt somewhat disappointed; the other party had only spoken a single sentence to her. This wasn’t what she had in mind. After all, since he had initiated the conversation, she had to seize this opportunity.

"Classmate, which university are you from?" Mi Sicha took a step forward to walk alongside Tang Zhong.

Hearing the voice beside him, Tang Zhong paused and said, "Me? I... can’t really say clearly..."

Tang Zhong truly couldn’t say clearly, mainly because he had attended far too many universities—Frye University, Fudari University, Cholini University...

For some reason, talking to this girl brought back memories of his early days, back when he was much younger!

"Oh!" Mi Sicha nodded, "I’m from the Institute of Science, my name is Mi Sicha, nice to meet you!"

Then she extended her jade-like hand.

"Tang Zhong!" Tang Zhong smiled and reached out his hand as well.

Constantly looking for stones was indeed a very tiring task, and having a chat was not a bad idea.

Meanwhile, Chang Ming and Liu Feng’s pupils were practically bursting with flames.

They had seen every move Mi Sicha made just now, and she had never behaved like this towards them before.

After exchanging a glance, they were even more determined in their thoughts.

Glancing at Tang Zhong, neither of them really liked what they saw. Tang Zhong was wearing a washed-out white short-sleeve shirt, probably street vendor goods. He must be a poor student, right? Otherwise, if he wasn’t poor, would he be wearing such clothes?

Both Chang Ming and Liu Feng came from families worth tens of millions. Now that Mi Sicha was chatting with this person so enthusiastically, how could they possibly hold back?

Moving forward, they blocked Tang Zhong’s way, with Chang Ming saying with a smile, "This classmate, my name is Chang Ming!"

Chang Ming extended his hand, making sure to flash the watch on his wrist, a Rolex!

"Tang Zhong!"

"Oh!" Chang Ming said.

"Which university do you attend?" Chang Ming asked.

Tang Zhong no longer answered this question.

Seeing this, Chang Ming guessed a little bit. The person before him must be from some no-name university, the kind without any prestige, hence not mentioning it now. After all, such a poor person, without money, could only attract women with grades and character. Typically, if you ask them which university they attend, and if it’s a reputable one, they would be quick to answer. But now the silence could only mean that the person must be from a really lousy school—a poor student from a lousy school daring to chase Mi Sicha, who gave him the courage?

Immediately, Chang Ming said, "So, classmate, where is your home?"

"Xuanjing City!" Tang Zhong said.

"My family is from Lin City, not far from your place!" Chang Ming was slightly baffled, not expecting the other person to actually be from Xuanjing City, although he must definitely be from the lower echelons of Xuanjing City.

"Just you wait, you’ll get what’s coming to you!" Chang Ming couldn’t help thinking.
