Chapter 115: Action

"Ah? What is it?" I asked awkwardly.

"Yang Yun, what do you think of Ling?"

"Ah, Ling is quite good!"

"Really! Then is Ling cute? Is Ling pretty?"

"Cute, and pretty!"

For a moment, I couldn't handle these questions from Chen Ling, and I felt panicked. I felt like the next question was about to come out, but I found it hard to believe. People always say there are three great illusions in life, one of which is that the person you like likes you back.

Suddenly, Chen Ling stopped. She looked at me with a hint of determination in her eyes, reached out her little hand, grabbed my arm, and acted spoiled: "Then does Yang Yun like Ling?"

"I like you, Ling is so cute, how could I not like you!" I felt a bit guilty in my heart.

"That’s not the kind of like Ling is asking about. Ling is asking if Yang Yun loves Ling?" Chen Ling’s sudden words left me stunned. I stood on the road, dazed for a moment, and didn't reply for a long time.

Seeing my reaction, Chen Ling was very disappointed, but a moment later, she suddenly smiled at me: "Yang Yun, I was just joking with you, were you scared?"

After saying this, Chen Ling laughed on the side. I smiled awkwardly. Although I didn't look in a mirror, I knew my smile at that moment was very fake.

"Alright, Ling will see you off here. Yang Yun, walk slowly on the road, I’m heading back!" After saying this, she waved at me and hopped away happily.

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 her sister Su Xueya, and now I was entangled with Zhang Yinuo and Chen Ling. I wanted to cut ties with them, but I couldn't bear to, and I was afraid.

Watching Chen Ling’s retreating figure, I whispered: "I’m sorry!"

I walked home alone, Chen Ling’s appearance from just a moment ago still in my mind. I even pushed the Li family matter and the enhancement potion matter that Chen Feng had entrusted to me to the back of my mind. I tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep much.

Early the next morning, I arrived at school as usual. However, the moment I entered the classroom and saw Chen Ling, I subconsciously avoided her gaze and quickly returned to my seat.

What I didn't see was the look of sorrow in Chen Ling’s eyes when she saw me dodging her.

San Mao and Gao San, who were following me, looked at me in astonishment. San Mao punched me in the chest and said: "What’s the situation with you and the class monitor? Did you do something you shouldn't have?"

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" My voice was a level lower than usual.

Hearing my words, San Mao was suspicious: "I think you have a guilty conscience; there’s definitely something fishy. Tell me, what did you do to her!"

I scolded San Mao impatiently: "Go away, I’m annoyed, I don't have time to joke with you!"

Seeing that I was a bit angry, San Mao didn't care and continued: "You’re even angry? It seems there really is something. You know, sometimes I really think you’re a total scumbag. I like mature women at most, but it’s always consensual and doesn't require responsibility. But you, you’re a naked scumbag!"

This was San Mao for you. If it were anyone else, I would have already lashed out, but because it was San Mao, I was very helpless. I knew he didn't mean it that way; San Mao was just straightforward and had no other intentions.

I couldn't stand San Mao’s nagging, so I ran out of the classroom. Just as I stepped out, I bumped into Liu Shuang. Liu Shuang hadn't come to class for the past two days, which likely had something to do with what I told the dean. Her sudden appearance this time left me stunned.

Liu Shuang was furious when she saw me and cursed at me: "Yang Yun, you bastard, how dare you deliberately spread false news to slander 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!"

Seeing Liu Shuang’s half-crazed state, I felt that this guy’s nerves were likely damaged; she was probably stimulated.

"I didn't lie to you, Li Hong lied to you. You were used by someone, and you’re still foolishly coming to me for revenge. I think you’re truly foolish!" I chuckled, my tone filled with mockery.

"You’re lying, Li Hong couldn't have lied to me, you’re lying!" Liu Shuang screamed in anger.

Hearing this, I chuckled. I was basically certain that Liu Shuang’s increase in strength was 100% related to Li Hong. Liu Shuang had indirectly admitted it. However, whether she would stand up to testify later remained to be seen.

Just as I wanted to say something else, Liu Shuang rushed over like a madwoman, shouting: "Bastard, how dare you keep lying, I’ll kill you!"

Liu Shuang rushed over very quickly, flying toward me like an arrow. She didn't care that this was a school; this person was now acting without any regard for consequences.

I wanted to dodge, but I realized the classroom was behind me. If I dodged, I might affect the classmates inside. I had no choice but to take the hit.

I quickly used my arm to block Liu Shuang’s attack and took a step back. Liu Shuang’s strength hadn't changed a bit from before. After all, she didn't know Wu Gong before; stimulating the body’s potential could only bring her to a peak state, and she couldn't advance any further. However, I practiced Wu Gong every day, so I was different. Before, I might have felt strained facing Liu Shuang, but now, I felt I could easily go toe-to-toe with her.

Liu Shuang’s subsequent attacks were all blocked by me. She looked at me in disbelief: "Impossible, how could this be? When did you become so strong?"

I didn't answer Liu Shuang. At this moment, the commotion attracted the school security and teachers. The dean also rushed over and shouted at Liu Shuang in frustration: "Shuang, are you crazy? Do you know what you’re doing? Stop it, your dad is doing this for your own good, stop it quickly!"

"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 crazily, then ignored the security guards and rushed out. Ordinary security guards couldn't stop her, so she naturally ran away.

But this was exactly my goal. I wanted to find Li Hong’s handle through Liu Shuang. Although it might not succeed, it was worth a try. Besides, this was the only way, as rushing into the Li family or finding Li Hong directly would be useless. ===== CHAPTER 116 =====
