Chapter 59: Big Slap
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Herlyee Translations
In the evening, when Lin Yan arrived at Muqing Book House with two buckets of water, he saw Elder Li protecting Xiaozhi behind him and arguing with an old lady with a face full of wrinkles.
The old lady had a smile on her face. Her face was wrinkled, and she looked kind.
However, Elder Li looked very impatient, and Xiaozhi also looked afraid.
Most importantly, Xiaozhi’s hair was wet, and the ugly makeup on her face had been washed off!
Lin Yan immediately put down the bucket and walked over quickly. He quickly hugged Xiaozhi and greeted Elder Li first. He asked Xiaozhi with concern, “Xiaozhi, what’s wrong?”
Xiaozhi mumbled, “No, I’m fine…”
At this moment, the old lady opposite him smiled and said, “You must be Xiaozhi’s brother, right? This little girl is so pretty. No wonder my Tianci has taken a liking to her at a glance. Young man, where are you from?”
Taken a liking?’
Lin Yan frowned slightly. “You are?”
“I’m Du Tianci’s grandmother. These two children had a small conflict today. Don’t mind them.’
Lin Yan patted Xiaozhi’s head and asked, “Xiaozhi, did someone bully you?”
The old lady quickly waved her hand forcefully and said, “Hey, look at you. You don’t even know how to speak. There’s no bullying. Tianci is an obedient child. How can he bully others?
“He’s just young and can ‘t walk steadily. When he was holding the basin, he accidentally spilled it on this little girl. I’ve already asked Tianci. He didn’t do it on purpose.
“On the other hand, this little girl has a strong personality. She pushed Tianci down to the ground. My heart aches so much.
“But it’s fine. He’s a child. It’s normal for them to fight. I won’t fuss over it with a little girl.’
Lin Yan’s face turned cold. He knew Xiaozhi the best. She had a strong personality and pushed people? Wasn’t the old woman obviously talking nonsense?
“Young man, why are you looking at me like that? I’m already so old. Why would I lie to you?”
Lin Yan snorted and rubbed Xiaozhi’s head. “Xiaozhi, what happened? It’s fine. Tell me.’
Xiaozhi said aggrievedly, “I, I didn’t push him. He fell himself…”
Lin Yan immediately understood.
He patted Xiaozhi’s shoulder, telling her not to worry. He turned to Elder Li and asked, “Elder Li, Xiaozhi said that a brat who likes to bully people came to the school. Is he this Du Tianci?’
Before Elder Li could answer, the old lady was unhappy again. “Young man, Tianci is a boy. Isn’t it normal for him to play around? How old are you? How can you casually say that the child is a brat?’
Elder Li looked at the old lady speechlessly and sighed. He told Lin Yan what had happened today.
Lin Yan’s face was as cold as ice. “In other words, not only does this old woman not bring her grandson to apologize, but she also wants to take Xiaozhi away and be that brat’s servant?”
The old lady said unhappily, “What servant? It’s so unpleasant. I’m just bringing this little girl as a guest and playing with my grandson. Her status is higher than a servant.
“Young man, to put it bluntly, I saw you bring in two buckets of water just now. Your family’s situation shouldn’t be very good, right?
‘You spent a lot of effort to send your sister here to study, right?
“My family is different. My son is the head of the family. He became a Strength
Realm martial artist at a young age and holds an important position in
Chengming District. That’s an Inner Circle, not this remote Middle District! His future is limitless.
‘Your sister has entered my Du family. In the future, she will enjoy endless wealth. She’s much better than following you!”
Lin Yan’s eyes burned with anger.
However, at this moment, Li Muqing stood in front of him and interrupted impatiently, “Old Madam Du, Lin Yan is a disciple of Dragon Gate Pavilion and not an ordinary person.
“Moreover, you’re already so old, why are you still so ignorant? You and I know very well what your grandson is like! To say that he’s a brat is an understatement!
“The child is still young and insensible. It’s fine if he’s naughty. You’re already so old, how can you take advantage of your seniority? Why are you still pestering me? Go back quickly!
The old lady was instantly angry. She propped up her old face and pointed her finger. “How am I being unreasonable? I’m kind enough to not argue with the little girl and even invited her home as a guest. How am I being unreasonable?”
Li Muqing was so angry that smoke came out of his nose. He said angrily, “You old woman, you have a sharp tongue and are extremely stupid!”
“Mr. Li, you’re a teacher in this book house. You usually teach knowledge. Are you talking nonsense like this?”
“You! If it weren’t for your son, I would have slapped you!”
The old lady was even more arrogant. “Hit me! If you have the ability, just slap me! Come on! Let everyone see what Mr. Book House is like!”
Li Muqing was furious. He raised his hand high and his face turned green and red, but he didn’t hit her.
The old lady spat in disdain. “Someone! Someone!”
As soon as he shouted, a burly man in black jogged in with a seven or eight-year-old boy in his arms.
The little boy was Du Tianci. He kept shouting and punching the burly man’s chest. From time to time, he would hit his face.
The burly man was obviously used to it, but there was an occasional flash of anger in his eyes.
“Old Madam, what’s wrong?”
“Someone wants to hit me!” The old lady pointed at Li Muqing.
The burly man looked at Li Muqing and said respectfully, “Elder Li, I hope you can calm down. Before we came, the boss specially instructed us not to let Old Madam be in danger. Please don’t make things difficult for me.”
Li Muqing was so angry that his head felt dizzy. He was also a Strength Realm martial artist and had once killed decisively without a word. However, now that he was old and his blood energy was declining, his strength was less than ten percent, and he had more scruples.
In the end, he didn’t even dare to slap a noisy old woman directly.
At this moment, Du Tianci, who was in the man’s arms, saw Xiaozhi and pointed at her. He started crying again.
‘Wahhh! Grandma, Grandma! I want her to play with me. I want her to play with me!’
As he spoke, he threw a tantrum again and cried.
The old lady’s heart ached terribly. She quickly went up to take Du Tianci and kept comforting him. “Aiyo, my good baby, don’t cry. Don’t cry. Your grandmother’s heart is broken! ”
She hugged Du Tianci, who cried even louder. He kept waving his small fists and hitting the old lady, causing her to feel pain.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry. What if your throat hurts from crying? I’ll get her to play with you now!”
With that, she waved at Lin Yan anxiously. “Young man, didn’t you see my grandson is crying so badly?! Just treat it as a favor. Hurry up and get your sister to come over and comfort him!”
A murderous look flashed across Lin Yan’s face.
However , Elder Li Muqing kept winking at him.
Lin Yan thought of Elder Li’s kindness and forcefully suppressed his anger. He held Xiaozhi’s hand and turned to leave.
“Young man, why are you leaving? You can’t leave!”
The old lady gave him a look. Helpless, the burly man took two to three steps forward and blocked Lin Yan.
Lin Yan could not control the anger in his heart. He turned to look at the old lady and said faintly, ‘What do you mean?”
The old lady hugged Du Tianci, who was crying and struggling, and said with a bitter expression, “Young man, my grandson is crying so hard. I really have no choice. Take it that I’m begging you. Can you let your sister stay at my house for a few days?”
Lin Yan’s expression was dark. “A few days? How many days is it?”
The old lady said naturally, “My grandson’s mood changes very quickly. In a few days, he won’t be interested in your sister anymore. How about I send her back?”
“Piss off!”
“Young man, manners. Why are you cursing? At the very least, you can sell your sister to me. How much money is it? Just ask!”
Lin Yan felt that if Elder Li hadn’t been signaling him with his eyes, it would have been a miracle for him to be able to stand quietly and talk now.
“Young man, you have to be kind to be rewarded. Your sister is just a girl, not a boy. What..
At this moment, the old lady did not hold on tightly. The boy in her arms, Du Tianci, broke free and ran excitedly to Lin Yan and Xiaozhi.
“Aiyo, baby, run slower.. ‘ “Pfft!
Du Tianci spat at Xiaozhi.
Lin Yan reacted quickly. He crossed his left foot and pulled Xiaozhi to the side, dodging the saliva.
Du Tianci was originally laughing loudly, waiting to see Xiaozhi become a joke. When he saw the two of them dodge, he was immediately unhappy and moved his mouth closer to spit again.
Lin Yan finally couldn’t suppress his anger.
He opened his hand and grabbed Du Tianci’s mouth and face before lifting him up.
“WUWUWU…”
Du Tianci was terrified. He struggled all over and punched and kicked Lin Yan’s arm, but his cries were firmly blocked by Lin Yan’s palm, leaving only whimpers.
“Grandson! Put down my grandson!”
Lin Yan turned a deaf ear and swept his gaze around. He saw the large water tank in the courtyard. He pulled Xiaozhi over and pressed Du Tianci into the water.
“Wu wu wu wu wu wu! ”
Du Tianci was terrified, but Lin Yan’s hand was like an iron hoop, pressing his small head into the water and not revealing it at all.
“Kid, don’t be rash!’
Elder Li was shocked. Lin Yan was just a small disciple of the Dragon Gate Pavilion. It would be fatal to provoke a young Tough Realm genius!
The old lady was shocked and screamed at the burly man behind her, “Quick, save my grandson!”
A trace of pleasure flashed across the burly man’s eyes, but his hands and feet were fast. He clenched his fist and punched Lin Yan in the head. “Let go!”
Elder Li wanted to go up and help, but his body was half a beat too slow. He could only shout, “Lin, be careful!” However, in the next moment, he heard.
“Bang!’
There was a loud bang.
Elder Li’s eyes instantly widened. The worry on his face turned into shock.
Lin Yan kicked back diagonally at an extremely fast speed, like a steel spear piercing through. He struck the burly man’s chest, causing him to fly out of the school gate.
Elder Li was experienced. He could tell at a glance that the power of this kick had already reached the upper level of the Strength Realm!
With this kick, the burly man could not get up at all.
Lin Yan was actually so strong?!
Lin Yan didn’t brag too much in front of Elder Li previously. He only mentioned that he was quite talented and had already joined the Dragon Gate Pavilion as a disciple. He didn’t even say that he had become an instructor.
Elder Li only thought that he was lucky and successfully entered the sect with Kui Shan and his help.
But now that Li Muqing took a look, how was this still a small disciple?
It had only been more than three months, but Lin Yan’s strength had actually reached this level!
“Bastard! Let go of my grandson!”
The old lady rushed up shakily and grabbed Lin Yan’s hand. “Let go of my grandson! Let go of my grandson!
The old lady rushed up shakily and grabbed Lin Yan’s hand. “Let go of my grandson! Let go of my grandson!
“What’s wrong with spitting? You can just go back and wash up. Why make things difficult for the child!
“You’re already so old, why are you arguing with a child! Let go, if you don’t let go, he’s going to die!”
Lin Yan let go of Xiaozhi with his other hand and slapped the old lady a few times..
