Chapter 1661 — Treating Him
"Haha, you've forgotten? Back in Songshan City, we were at xx Square?" Young Master You was a seasoned hand at chasing women, and he was very good at spinning lies. Seeing Tang Yun together with Wei Zhao, he had roughly guessed that she might be from Songshan City — at the very least, she knew Wei Zhao, which meant she had been to Songshan City — so he casually brought up the name of a place there.
Ordinarily, anyone whose memory was not especially sharp would be thrown into confusion by such a plausible-sounding answer, and might even begin to wonder whether they really did know this person, whether they really had met before.
But Tang Yun had never once been to xx Square. It was a long way from Songshan City No. 1 Senior High School, and before she met Wei Zhao, she had spent all her free time helping her mother sell barbecue — when would she ever have found the time to go play at xx Square? And after she met Wei Zhao, she had never been there either.
So Tang Yun frowned slightly and said coolly, "You've got the wrong person, haven't you? I've never seen you."
Of course, if this had been some vain little girl, the sight of Young Master You decked out head to toe in designer labels might well have set her climbing straight up the pole, blurting out, "Oh, it's you...", after which the two of them would have fallen into conversation, each taking what they wanted...
But Tang Yun was plainly not that sort of person. Even if she had not been with Wei Zhao, she would never have done such a thing — much less now that she was with him.
"No mistake, it was definitely you!" Young Master You laughed. "At the time, I told you I wanted to court you and offered you a BMW, and you said you'd think about it... Don't you remember?"
Young Master You kept deploying his woman-chasing tactics — the assault of money! The hidden You family were an alchemist clan, naturally far wealthier than ordinary hidden clans. Most hidden clans had to worry about where their money would come from, scheming to prop up some common clan to rake in cash on their behalf — but the hidden You family had no need of that. They simply sold spirit medicine and made a fortune hand over fist.
"Finished?" Before Tang Yun could speak, Wei Zhao beat her to it. He regarded the bald man before him with an amused, appraising look. So that bowling ball last time hadn't smashed him into an idiot after all — here he was, strutting about again. Only, Wei Zhao was a little puzzled: was this creature just begging to be tormented?
He had taken a beating several times running, yet he still dared to swagger about in front of him — wasn't he afraid of another thrashing? But when Wei Zhao saw the few lackeys behind him, he understood. So there was an early Earth Rank expert following at his heels — no wonder the fellow had grown cocky again. He must have thought that this time he was certain to have Wei Zhao under his thumb!
"Look here, brother, aren't you sticking your nose in a bit too far? Sure, we've had a bit of bad blood, but right now I've run into an acquaintance, and I'm not interfering with you and your wife — what's your hurry?" Young Master You glanced at Wei Zhao and said, unhurried.
"When you've finished, you can roll along. Shall I send you off with a double-bang firecracker and give you a little trip into space? Or would you rather play flying acrobat?" Wei Zhao ignored Young Master You's words and warned him outright.
"You..." Young Master You was so taken aback that he laughed. "I say, aren't you a bit too full of yourself? Kid, this is the hidden Tang family's territory. Since you're able to be here, you must be a guest of the hidden Tang family, no? I don't want to blow this up into something big — don't go not knowing what's what!"
To be honest, Wei Zhao's sudden appearance here had let Young Master You roughly guess his purpose. It was the Tang patriarch's eightieth birthday; perhaps Wei Zhao was here representing some distant relation or other to offer congratulations — but he certainly wasn't any close relative!
Because the relatives closest to the hidden Tang family were all inside the hidden Tang family's banquet hall at that very moment — his own eldest uncle and eldest brother, for instance. Only a second young master of the family like himself would come out on his own to find some amusement; anyone of any real importance was dining in the banquet hall!
So Young Master You was no longer afraid that Wei Zhao might have some great backing. And besides, he had already made inquiries earlier and had heard of no hidden clan that harbored such a figure, so he was all the less afraid of him.
"Hubby Wei Zhao, this thing must be mentally ill, right?" Feng Xiaoxiao glanced at Young Master You and said to Wei Zhao, "Sister Tang Yun already said she's never seen him, and here he is talking to himself. Has he come down with delusions? Why don't you give him a treatment?"
"I'd say that's about right." Wei Zhao nodded. "If you want to be cured, then just keep following."
With that, Wei Zhao paid Young Master You no further mind and led Feng Xiaoxiao and Tang Yun toward the restaurant.
Wei Zhao. Tang Yun! Young Master You now knew both their names. Tang Yun — a rather pleasant name. And at that moment, Young Master You felt even more sure of himself. Since that Feng Xiaoxiao called Wei Zhao "Hubby Wei Zhao," she was certainly Wei Zhao's girlfriend. And Tang Yun was her sister, so she had nothing much to do with Wei Zhao. His own pursuit of her was entirely justified — and if it came to blows later, he would have his grounds ready!
So Young Master You paid no heed at all to Wei Zhao's warning and followed after them again. "Fair Tang Yun, you really don't remember? If you don't think a BMW is good enough, I'll buy you a Lamborghini instead..."
Young Master You had never stinted on spending money when chasing women. His allowance was not large, but if he secretly brewed a few pills and sold them, there was silver in plenty.
"Looks like you really are sick. I suppose I really do have to treat you." As Wei Zhao spoke, several silver needles appeared in his hand. He casually stabbed Young Master You a few times, and before Young Master You even realized what was happening, his legs went weak and he collapsed to his knees on the ground, unable to rise!
"You... what did you do to me?" Feeling his legs go numb all at once, Young Master You was terrified. He too was a ** practitioner, but how could he match Wei Zhao's speed? So when Wei Zhao struck, he had not reacted at all.
"Nothing much. I saw you had a bit of hyperactivity, and your legs didn't seem to obey orders. I already told you to stop following, and you still came after us — so I've treated your legs into uselessness!" Wei Zhao said mildly.
"You're asking for death, kid — what did you do to Young Master You?" Yellow Hair, Blue Hair, and the others had seen it too, but they had not expected Wei Zhao to pull such a move, and by the time they reacted it was too late. They ran up, but Young Master You was already on his knees.
"Kill him for me!" Young Master You had not expected Wei Zhao to be so vicious — one move and he had crippled his legs. Though he did not know what technique the other had used, whatever it was, Young Master You was frantic. If he ended up a cripple from now on, how was he supposed to chase women?
"Kid, what did you do to Young Master You? You'd better fix him right now, or else — heh heh — don't blame me for not being polite!" Blue Hair was the more experienced one. He could tell that Wei Zhao had merely jabbed a few times at random with silver needles, and Young Master You's legs were ruined.
