Chapter 1574 — Dare Not Make a Move Wei Zhao Waited at the Front of the Teaching Building and Soon Spotted Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, and Tang Yun, Who Had All Handed In Their Papers at the Last Moment and So Emerged at About the Same Time

"How did your exams go?" Wei Zhao asked the three with a smile.

"Not bad!" All three girls nodded in unison, satisfied. They had prepared thoroughly at home over the past few days and had worked through a great many practice books, so these exam questions had been right up their alley.

As they were talking, Gu Mengyao glanced in surprise at Wang Xinyan running toward them. She remembered this girl. Back on the shopping street, Wei Zhao had met her and even helped her out of a little trouble!

Because Gu Mengyao had harbored some hostility toward Wei Zhao at the time, her impression of Wang Xinyan had been especially deep.

"She's here for you, isn't she?" Gu Mengyao turned to Wei Zhao and asked.

Though Gu Mengyao was no longer angry about it now, recalling that incident still left a lingering unease in her heart.

Wei Zhao blinked, raised his head, and saw Wang Xinyan hurrying toward them. He was somewhat puzzled. "Wang Xinyan, what's wrong? What's happened?"

"Wei Zhao, that Young Master You from before has brought more people, and they're waiting at the gate... for us!" Wang Xinyan had meant to say "for you," but she thought better of it. The trouble had started because of her; how could she shove all the blame onto him?

"Brought more people?" Wei Zhao found it almost funny. Did this guy have no memory? Or was that Yellow Hair-brain just too dim? He had clearly shown mercy before. Never mind killing him in an instant — disabling him would have been effortless. And this creature still hadn't the sense to disappear; instead, he was recruiting people to come after him?

"What's going on, Wei Zhao?" Tang Yun heard there were people waiting for him outside the school and immediately asked with some alarm.

Wei Zhao, for his part, felt nothing about it. He gave Tang Yun and the other two a rough account of the situation and said, "One early Xuan-stage expert, plus some young master from God knows which clan. We'll go out and settle them together."

"But the helpers he's brought..." Tang Yun looked worried.

"We'll see when we get there," Wei Zhao said.

Wang Xinyan caught sight of Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, and Tang Yun and felt momentarily dizzy. How had three stunning beauties materialized at Wei Zhao's side? Wasn't his girlfriend Feng Xiaoxiao? Why wasn't she here?

"I'm sorry for causing you all trouble..." Wang Xinyan didn't know what these three beauties were to Wei Zhao, but seeing how much they cared about him, their relationship was clearly no shallow thing.

"It's nothing," Tang Yun shook her head. She actually felt some sympathy for Wang Xinyan. Had Wei Zhao not been there that day, Wang Xinyan would surely have been bullied by Young Master You, and if she had been forced to do as he said, she would very likely have been kicked out of the exam hall for cheating!

"My name is Wang Xinyan. Hello, please take care of me," Wang Xinyan said politely, feeling relieved at Tang Yun's words.

"I'm Tang Yun, Wei Zhao's girlfriend. Nice to meet you," Tang Yun said, then introduced Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu to Wang Xinyan as well. "This is Gu Mengyao, a good friend of mine, and that's Shen Yushu, Gu Mengyao's dear sister and also my good friend."

"Hi there! I'm Shield Brother's little wife!" Shen Yushu greeted Wang Xinyan.

"Shield Brother?" Wang Xinyan blinked, momentarily taken aback.

"That's Wei Zhao," Tang Yun explained with a smile. "Xiao Shu is just like that — she loves to joke around. You'll get used to it once you know her."

"Oh..." Wang Xinyan gave Tang Yun an odd look, thinking: When someone says she's her boyfriend's little wife, why isn't she angry? That's right — Wang Xinyan suddenly remembered Feng Xiaoxiao. She shot Wei Zhao a curious look, opened her mouth to ask, but then held back, not knowing whether blurting it out would trouble him!

What if Feng Xiaoxiao was his woman on the side? Or perhaps Tang Yun was the one on the side?

So Wang Xinyan could only keep this question to herself.

The five of them walked out of the school together. Wei Zhao spotted Yellow Hair and Young Master You at a glance, along with two more lackeys beside them. Their strength was plain to him. With Wei Zhao's current power, he didn't take them seriously in the least.

"It's them..." Wang Xinyan said, pointing nervously at the people gathered by the school gate.

"Heh..." Wei Zhao smiled. "It's fine. They won't dare make a move."

"Won't dare make a move?" Wang Xinyan froze.

"That's right. Want to make a bet? We'll walk right out, strolling as proud as you please, and I guarantee Young Master You's three thugs won't dare lift a finger," Wei Zhao said.

"Huh?" Wang Xinyan blinked. She thought Wei Zhao's words were downright absurd, but seeing his earnest expression, she suddenly recalled how calmly he had handled the swindler on the train. Could it be that he already had it all figured out? Still, she couldn't help asking: "A bet... on what?"

Wei Zhao honestly had no idea what to bet. He had only said it off the cuff and certainly had no intention of actually wagering anything with Wang Xinyan.

"How about this — if you lose, you agree to do one thing for me; if I lose, I agree to do one thing for you?" he said casually.

"That's..." Wang Xinyan's cheeks flushed red, clearly letting her imagination run. "I don't think that's a good idea..."

Wei Zhao shook his head in mild exasperation. "Fine — how about if you win, you agree to do one thing for me, and if I win, I agree to do one thing for you?"

"That... will do..." Hearing Wei Zhao put it that way, Wang Xinyan had no reason to refuse. It seemed he had no ulterior motive, which only made her feel a little embarrassed for having thought the worst of him.

But it was hardly Wang Xinyan's fault for being cautious. Ever since the affair of the Kang family's engagement, she had become extraordinarily careful and wary, terrified of falling into someone else's trap again through a single careless step.

"Oh, is Shield Brother trying to lose on purpose?" Shen Yushu asked with a mischievous grin.

"Xiao Shu, stop talking nonsense," Gu Mengyao said. She had noticed Wang Xinyan's discomfort earlier.

Wang Xinyan jumped at Shen Yushu's remark, but seeing that Wei Zhao's expression remained unchanged, she said nothing more.

And so the five of them headed toward the school gate...

"Young Master You, they're coming! What do we do? Just say the word!" Yellow Hair saw Wei Zhao walking over and hurriedly spoke up.

"Huh? Where did all these pretty girls come from? This kid's got quite the luck with women!" Young Master You's eyes went slightly glazed as he stared at the girls beside Wei Zhao. He had thought Wang Xinyan was gorgeous enough, and landing her would have been a thrill. But he never expected three more to show up!
