Chapter 87 - 81: I Will Challenge You (Third Update)

"You’ve disrupted the business of other people’s restaurants just to wait for me?"

Su Yue wore a cold expression.

This guy really isn’t easy to deal with.

As for his identity, it was normal for it to be exposed. It was just a mask from the club, not even enough to fool someone of Liao Ping’s level, let alone an old fox like this.

Just hiding it from ordinary people.

"I paid for it today; I’ve reserved the whole place.

"Do you know much about tea ceremony?"

Bai Zhao pointed to the tea tray in front of him. It was cluttered with various small objects, including a toad.

"I don’t understand it."

Su Yue shook his head. The only tea he knew well was bubble tea.

Half sugar, double pearls.

"That’s good, I don’t understand it either.

"I heard this small can of tea is handcrafted by a master. It’s very expensive, and most people just use it for show."

Bai Zhao brewed a pot.

"What exactly do you want?"

Su Yue asked bluntly.

Seeing the small can of tea, he couldn’t help but think of his greasy old dad, which made him uncomfortable.

"I would like to ask you for a favor.

"Please kill me in the ring.

"Or let me kill you in the ring."

Bai Zhao took a sip of tea. He didn’t seem to like the bitter taste.

"Sorry, I’m still a student; it’s not time for killing yet."

Su Yue’s face remained expressionless.

"Some things need to be experienced for the first time."

Buzz! Buzz!

Buzz! Buzz!

Bai Zhao’s phone vibrated on the table.

"Sorry, I need to take this call."

Bai Zhao picked up the phone, nodding apologetically towards Su Yue.

Su Yue was also going crazy.

Is this guy insane?

His polite demeanor easily gained others’ favor.

But the content of his words was terrifying.

"Hello, have you arrived in Cengyan City?

"Mm, okay.

"Cosmic Mansion Building 8, yes, you can rent there. Remember to pay 50% more than the landlord’s asking price for rent.

"You all can just take some time to enjoy yourselves in Cengyan City."

Crunch.

Su Yue gritted his teeth, and his fist made cracking sounds.

Bai Zhao’s call was clearly meant for him to hear.

He had sent people to Cengyan City and rented the Cosmic Mansion District.

"Sorry, some friends are in your hometown, doing a bit of business."

Bai Zhao put down the phone.

"You’re threatening me."

Su Yue’s pupils contracted, like a hungry wolf about to pounce.

This beast actually used Uncle and Su Jianjun to threaten him.

"That’s an exaggeration.

"You’re an outstanding youth from Cengyan City, and unless someone isn’t afraid of dying, who would dare to provoke your family?

"Of course, I might be an exception. I’ve long since lost the will to live."

Bai Zhao smiled calmly.

"You want to die, but your subordinates might not want to die."

Su Yue gritted his teeth in anger.

"They’re not subordinates, they’re business partners.

"I, Bai Zhao, am without parents, children, or a spouse. I’ve been single all my life, fighting all my life. I spent 20 million in Cengyan City. For you, it truly feels like cutting my own flesh.

"As an old saying goes, ’Money makes the mare go.’

"Moreover, the Yangxiang Sect is also short of funds. Those people may be even less afraid of death than I am."

Bai Zhao tapped his nails on the table, his demeanor unchanged from beginning to end.

He was truly polite.

"Trouble shouldn’t involve family members. You’ve crossed the line. Even if you can kill me, you’d become a dog everyone wants to hit in the future."

Su Yue was trembling with anger.

"I’ve killed so many martial artists, I’m already infamous. My biggest wish is to find a worthy opponent and either kill them or be killed by them.

"You’ve been in the club for so long; you’re the most suitable one, bar none.

"Have you heard of the saying?

"In the martial world, one’s body isn’t their own. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too outstanding."

Bai Zhao said.

Damn, even now you’re buttering me up.

You beast.

"If I agree to fight you, how can I ensure my family’s safety?"

Su Yue’s face turned ashen.

"I am cruel, despicable, and ruthless in achieving my goals, but I have never told a lie in my life.

"If I say there’s no problem, then there’s no problem.

"Besides, people going to Cengyan City for business can’t really be stopped, right?"

Bai Zhao sighed.

"Fine, one month from now, I will challenge you."

Su Yue turned around and left the restaurant.

A month’s time was also the limit of Bai Zhao’s patience.

In this era, relatives of martial artists theoretically had nothing to fear for their safety.

Martial artists have their own rules, and they don’t harm ordinary people.

If he really attempted anything, the Investigation and Arrest Bureau could easily track down Bai Zhao. He’s only a first-class martial artist, and he wouldn’t be able to escape.

Even some desperate criminals don’t have enough money to commit crimes.

The most feared scenario is someone like Bai Zhao.

He’s not afraid to die, but he also happens to have money.

Actually, Su Yue could find Wang Nanguo. He has old subordinates in Cengyan City who could protect Uncle and Su Jianjun.

But the Investigation and Arrest Bureau is busy, they aren’t personal bodyguards after all, and there will be times of oversight.

Twenty million is really enough to drive people crazy.

Actually, there’s another reason.

Su Yue was hesitating, not knowing if he should challenge Bai Zhao.

But now, the reason is sufficient.

"Many people my age may not have killed villains yet."

At the icy roadside, Su Yue looked up at the sky full of snowflakes.

"Master Su, you really agreed to him?"

Flower Bear looked pained.

"Old Bear, back then, you clearly admitted defeat, but Bai Zhao broke the rules and crippled you. Do you hate him?"

Su Yue asked.

"I hate him, but I can come to terms with it."

Flower Bear replied.

"If I were crippled by Bai Zhao, what would you do?"

Su Yue asked again.

"Nonsense, I would definitely kill that beast, that bastard, daring to cripple my brother... this, I..."

Flower Bear instinctively slapped his wheelchair and cursed, but stopped halfway.

"That’s right.

"Even if we’re just drinking buddies, we’re still friends.

"I agreed to fight Bai Zhao in the ring, even though it’s not entirely because of you. But as a friend, I always want to do something for you.

"You, Old Bear, are loyal, and I’m not a coward.

"It’s just killing, after all. Martial artists will eventually face this step."

Under the snowy sky, Su Yue smiled in tranquility.

Flower Bear was speechless.

"Master Su, you’re different from any martial artist I know. I firmly believe that you can win."

Flower Bear suddenly had tears in his eyes.

Beneath the snowflakes, that slender young figure gave him the illusion of a return to his youth.

Clear eyes filled with stubbornness and fearlessness towards the world.

Flower Bear firmly believed that Su Yue could win.

Flower Bear firmly believed that the passion of youth could ignite unbelievable miracles.

"Yes, I also believe that I will definitely win."

Su Yue murmured to himself.

Bai Zhao is very formidable, that’s beyond doubt.

But am I, Su Yue, just a soft persimmon for you to squash as you wish?

You, Bai Zhao, have had consecutive victories to achieve your title.

Why can’t I, Su Yue, do the same!

The path of martial arts requires humility and reverence, but confidence and fearlessness are just as important!
