Chapter 267 - A Strange Challenge (1/2)
“Jealous? There’s no point.”
Lao Hei stood up, trying to hug Meng Fan’s shoulders, only to realize the young man was too tall. He couldn’t hug Meng Fan at all, maybe just grip his arm, so he elbowed him and said with raised eyebrows. “This Korean guy is our taekwondo teacher. He’s good looking and knows how to flirt. Most of the female students are here because of him. He’s our star teacher. I don’t know why women like Koreans so much. Is it because of their nickname, “club?” A club is nothing, I’m a stick!”
Meng Fan laughed. “Maybe they just like good-looking guys; nothing to do with clubs or sticks.”
Lao Hei looked irritated. “So what if he’s good looking, he’s such a dumb c* and really arrogant.”
Meng Fan laughed. “Aren’t martial artists supposed to be blunt? If you think he’s arrogant, fight him. Lao Hei, you aren’t afraid of losing, are you? If you can’t beat him, then you can’t complain.”
“You think I can’t fight him? He can’t beat me even if I just stand there and don’t fight back.” Lao Hei looked even more annoyed, then he grew sheepish. “You don’t get it. This Korean guy is a big money-maker for the school, even Coach Yang has to kiss up to him. I have to play along. Let’s go, I don’t want to see his face anymore.”
Meng Fan followed Lao Hei on their way toward the big practice room.
“Eh, isn’t that guy Meng Fan?”
A few of the dozen students recognized Meng Fan. He was so noticeable it was hard to stay hidden.
“It is him! What’s he doing here?”
“I hate him!”
“Why doesn’t he just explode?”
Meng Fan was confused by the ridicule and cursing. Lao Hei was confused, too. How did these female students know about Meng Fan? They looked like they could murder him. Did the young man do something horrible to them?
“Meng Fan?”
Jin Taiyun looked energized when he heard the name. He glanced at the focus of the female students’ attention and perked up. After marching toward Meng Fan, he stopped about three steps away with a bright smile on his face. “Meng Fan, how are you?”
Meng Fan was cussed out by the female students. When Jin Taiyun walked over, with Lao Hei’s explanation, he knew this man was Korean, so he thought of another Korean guy, realizing why the women were cussing him. His brows furrowed, “Do we know each other?”
“You don’t know me. I know you.”
Jin Taiyun looked to be in a good mood. He introduced himself, “I’m Jin Taiyun, from South Korea. I teach taekwondo at Feng Ji. Are you also a student here?”
Meng Fan answered, “Kind of. What do you want?”
“Great.”
Jin Taiyun seemed even happier. “I heard of you after the video of your fight with Park Jae Hye. After the fight, everyone said South Koreans are too weak, and three of them can’t fight one of you. Some of them even called you the Iron Hero. I saw the video, you ambushed them. Now that I’ve run into you, I want to challenge you to a fight. It’s not for Park Jae Hye, it’s for the honor of the South Korean men.”
Meng Fan was speechless. “So you just want to beat me up?”
Jin Taiyun smiled, “You can think of it that way. You can refuse the fight too, but refusing is admitting defeat. I don’t need you to apologize to anyone. I need you to admit that you won by ambushing.”
Meng Fan wrinkled his eyebrows again. “Win? You think winning is more important than right or wrong for the video incident?”
“Right or wrong?” Jin Taiyun shook his head. “This happened in your country, Huaxia. Who knows what really happened. Even the video could be fake.”
“Right!”
“Park Jae Hye wouldn’t hit anyone!”
“The video is fake!”
“Coach Jin, teach him a lesson!”
“Go Coach Jin!”
After Jin Taiyun spoke, most of the female students started shouting. They looked ready to attack Meng Fan at any time.
“You South Koreans are known for admitting nothing and taking credit for everything.”
Meng Fan was angry now. It wasn’t because of Jin Taiyun saying something real was fake, but these female students who all looked like they had air in their heads.
