These boys were petty punks in the school, but they were nowhere near the level of the Four Young Tyrants. Although Zhong Yongliang had been beaten by Wei Zhao several times and was not as feared as before, these small-time thugs still dared not provoke him. Seeing Zhong Yongliang arrive, they all forced smiles and filed out of the restroom.
"Brother Liang, you must have something to tell me, right?" Zhang Naipao was not stupid. Zhong Yongliang would not have called him out for no reason just to accompany him to the toilet.
"Paozi, you've been with me a long time now, and there is something I want to ask your opinion about first!" Zhong Yongliang said after a moment's hesitation.
"Brother Liang, just say whatever it is. Why ask my opinion? Your opinion is my opinion!" Zhang Naipao said bluntly.
"Good!" Zhong Yongliang nodded, pulled out a pack of cigarettes, drew one out for Zhang Naipao, then stuck one in his own mouth. "I didn't befriend you for nothing, but I still have to talk this over with you. After all, this is a matter of great importance!"
"Go ahead, Brother Liang!" Zhang Naipao took out a lighter, lit Zhong Yongliang's cigarette for him, and only then lit his own.
"Paozi, there is an opportunity now that could make you a true martial arts master! Are you willing?" Zhong Yongliang asked in a lowered voice.
"Become a martial arts master?" Zhang Naipao froze. "Brother Liang, you're not joking, are you?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Zhong Yongliang said. "Paozi, you know Brother Black Panther, right? You saw the news about his escape from the police, didn't you? His strength suddenly surged, and he managed to break out even surrounded by so many police. Do you know why?"
"Could it be that Brother Black Panther is a martial arts master?" Hearing Zhong Yongliang's words, Zhang Naipao said instinctively.
"Exactly! His sect has a secret art that can rapidly boost one's strength, but it has flaws. It has a time limit, and it costs you years of your lifespan. It's not really desirable." Zhong Yongliang said.
"Brother Liang, are you asking me to learn this secret art?" Hearing this, Zhang Naipao misunderstood Zhong Yongliang's words, thinking he wanted him to learn that secret art, and he agreed on the spot. "So what if I live a few years less? No problem. Brother Liang, if it weren't for you, my dad and my little brother would be finished, and I probably couldn't have gone on living myself!"
"Paozi, you've got it wrong. I'm not asking you to learn that flawed secret art. I'm asking you to go up the mountain and train! Join Brother Black Panther's sect and become a true martial arts master!" Zhong Yongliang waved his hand. "But the process may be very hard. According to Brother Black Panther, it's like being an ascetic monk, and you must stay away from women! If you're willing, Brother Black Panther can recommend you!"
"Go up the mountain to train?" Although Zhang Naipao was a bit bewildered, he agreed without the slightest hesitation. "Brother Liang, if you tell me to go up the mountain to train, I'll go up the mountain to train! What's an ascetic monk to me? I, Zhang Naipao, have only one thought in this life, and that is to repay the kindness you have shown my family. As long as you give me this chance, I would die for you on the spot, let alone live like an ascetic monk!"
"Good! Paozi, since you have this resolve, everything will be easy! Don't worry. When you return from your training, you will be the right-hand man of our Zhong family, and together we will conquer the world!" Seeing Zhang Naipao agree, Zhong Yongliang happily patted him on the shoulder. "Then it's settled. Get ready over the next couple of days, and I'll have someone take you up the mountain!"
