What?\" I asked awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Yang Yun, what do you think of Xiao Ling?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, Xiao Ling is quite good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really! Then is Xiao Ling cute? Is Xiao Ling pretty?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cute, yes, and pretty too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, I was unable to handle these questions from Chen Ling. I even felt a bit flustered, sensing that the next question was about to burst out, yet it felt unbelievable. People always talk about the three great illusions of life, one of which is thinking that the person you like likes you back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Chen Ling stopped. She looked at me with a hint of determination in her eyes, reached out her small hand to grab my arm, and acted coquettishly: \"Then, does Brother Yang Yun like Xiao Ling?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do. Xiao Ling is so cute, how could I not like her!\" My heart felt a bit guilty at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not the kind of liking Xiao Ling is asking about. Xiao Ling is asking if Brother Yang Yun loves her?\" Chen Ling’s sudden words left me completely stunned. I stood on the road, dazed for a moment, and didn't reply for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing my reaction, Chen Ling looked very disappointed. However, a moment later, she suddenly smiled at me: \"Brother Yang Yun, I was just joking with you. Did I scare you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Chen Ling laughed out loud. I gave an awkward smile; although I wasn't looking in a mirror, I knew my smile at that moment was extremely fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, Xiao Ling will stop here. Brother Yang Yun, take care on the road. I’m heading back!\" With that, she waved at me and skipped away happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, I knew what Chen Ling meant, but I really couldn't respond to her. I even felt like a scumbag. I had been with Su Xueyan before, then with her sister Su Xueya, and now I was entangled with Zhang Yinuo and Chen Ling. I really wanted to cut ties with them, but I couldn't bear to, and I was afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Chen Ling’s retreating figure, I whispered, \"I'm sorry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked home alone, Chen Ling’s appearance from just moments ago still in my mind. I even pushed the matters Chen Feng had entrusted to me—the Li family affairs and the strengthening potion—to the back of my head. I tossed and turned all night, barely sleeping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, I went to school as usual. However, the moment I entered the classroom and saw Chen Ling, my gaze subconsciously dodged, and I hurried to my seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What I didn't see was the trace of sorrow that filled Chen Ling’s eyes when she saw my evasive expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My Third Brother and Fifth Brother, who were following behind me, looked at me in astonishment. Third Brother punched me directly in the chest and said, \"What’s going on between you and the class monitor? Did you do something you shouldn't have?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!\" My voice was a notch lower than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing my words, Third Brother looked suspicious: \"I think you have a guilty conscience. There’s definitely something fishy going on. Tell me, what exactly did you do to her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I snapped at Third Brother, \"Go away, I’m annoyed, I don't have time to joke with you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that I was a bit angry, Third Brother didn't care at all and continued: \"You’re even getting angry? It seems there really is something. You know, sometimes I really think you’re a total scumbag. At most, I like married women, but it’s always consensual and doesn't require responsibility. But look at you—you’re a naked scumbag!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Third Brother for you. If it were anyone else, I would have lashed out, but because it was him, I felt very helpless. I knew he didn't mean it that way; Third Brother was just straightforward, with no hidden agenda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn't stand Third Brother’s nagging, so I rushed out of the classroom. Just as I stepped out, I bumped into Liu Shuang. Liu Shuang hadn't been to class for the past two days, probably related to what I had told the Dean earlier. His sudden appearance caught me off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shuang looked at me, furious to the point of death, and cursed: \"Yang Yun, you bastard! You actually dared to spread fake news to frame me, causing my dad to take me to the hospital. I know you did this on purpose. It’s all fake, you can't fool me, haha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Liu Shuang’s half-manic state, I felt that this guy’s brain was probably damaged; he must have been triggered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't lie to you. It was Li Hong who lied to you. You were used by someone, and now you’re stupidly coming to me for revenge. I think you’re truly as dumb as they come!\" I chuckled, my tone filled with mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re lying! Li Hong wouldn't lie to me! You’re lying!\" Liu Shuang screamed in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, hearing this, I chuckled. It was basically confirmed: Liu Shuang’s sudden increase in strength was 100% related to Li Hong. Liu Shuang had effectively admitted it. Whether he would stand up and testify later, however, remained to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as I was about to say something more, Liu Shuang rushed over like a madman, shouting: \"Bastard, you still dare to lie? I’ll kill you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shuang moved very fast, flying toward me like an arrow. He didn't care at all that we were at school; this guy was acting without any regard for the consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hurriedly tried to dodge backward, but realized the classroom was right behind me. If I dodged, I might involve my classmates. I had no choice but to take the blow head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I quickly used my arms to block Liu Shuang’s attack and retreated a step or two. Liu Shuang’s strength hadn't changed a bit from before. After all, he didn't know any Wu Gong; stimulating the body’s potential could only bring him to a peak state, with no room for further growth. I, however, practiced Wu Gong every day, so I was different. Before, facing Liu Shuang might have been difficult, but now, fighting him to a draw seemed to be no problem at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shuang’s subsequent attacks were all blocked by me. He looked at me in disbelief: \"Impossible, how could it be like this? When did you become so strong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't answer Liu Shuang. The commotion had already attracted the school security guards and teachers. The Dean also rushed over. Seeing Liu Shuang, he shouted in frustration: \"Shuang, have you gone mad? Do you know what you’re doing? Stop it! Dad is doing this for your own good, stop it now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! You’re all lying to me, you’re all lying to me!\" Liu Shuang screamed frantically. Then, ignoring the security guards' attempts to stop him, he rushed out. The ordinary guards couldn't stop him, so he naturally got away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was exactly my goal. I wanted to use Liu Shuang to find evidence against Li Hong. Although it might not succeed, it was worth a try. Besides, this was the only way for now; rushing into the Li family or finding Li Hong directly would be useless.\u003C\u002Fp>",1214,"2026-06-11T10:32:36.211Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","77f97cfaf06b5d46105805f628149029771c9762b40e3e1090b4fd799e06e7d1","rise-of-the-overlord-chapter-108","rise-of-the-overlord-chapter-106",225,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frise-of-the-overlord-cover.jpg"]
