Seeing the dejected look on Liu Chang’s face, his parents assumed that he might have truly been in a martial arts battle. Otherwise, given his usual character, he would absolutely not let this go.
This child, with sharp words but a soft heart, is proud and playful, always showing off. Hanging out with Mo Wenxuan and Tie Dan all the time, he always feels superior.
Now that he has been taught a lesson, it’s quite beneficial; at least he understands there’s always a mountain higher and people superior to oneself.
Liu the Hunter said, “Alright, we’ll head back to our room first. You should rest early. If you can’t swallow this anger, tell me tomorrow. I’d like to see who has the audacity to beat you up like this.”
…
After Liu the Hunter left, Liu Chang uncovered the quilt.
He sat on the bed, sometimes thinking about Nan Feng’s soft body, other times recalling Ye Ge’s sudden appearance, kicking him to the ground without a word…
How foolish of him to listen to Zhou No.2, making such a stupid mistake. How was he supposed to face Nan Feng in the future?
After beating him up, Ye Ge said something right, “She’s not someone you could be a match for. If there’s a next time, I will end your life.”
Liu Chang shivered in terror.
Should he keep pestering Nan Feng in the future?
He probably didn’t dare to.
Even if he still liked her, he must control himself.
…
Zhou No.1’s house.
The couple was about to go to sleep, but they heard the urgent voice of Zhou No.2 from outside, “Brother, open the door, it’s me!”
The couple got up grumbling, Zhou No.1 said, “This No.2 really doesn’t have any timing. What hour of the night it is now, and he’s here making a ruckus.”
Wang Family said, “What if something has happened? Look at the way he’s shouting.”
“What could happen? Even if it’s a life-and-death matter, need it be urgent this very instant?”
Wang Family said, “Could it be about the mountain? Are there any news from Liu Chang?”
At the mention of Liu Chang’s affairs, Zhou No.1 hastily got dressed to head out.
This evening, Zhou No.1 was initially tasked to act as a decoy on the mountain. However, as soon as Liu Chang arrived, Ye Ge appeared.
Seeing this, Zhou No.1, of course, fled instantly. As he was descending, he ran into Zhou No.2, informed him of the situation, and the two brothers rushed home sneakily, hoping Liu Chang would act quickly before Ye Ge found out.
Zhou No.1 let Zhou No.2 in and impatiently asked, “What happened? Is there any news from Liu Chang at this late hour?”
Zhou No.2, panting, replied, “Yes, Liu Chang is back. He crawled back all bruised. I’m afraid…”
“Afraid of what?”
“I’m afraid the plan didn’t succeed.”
“What about the girl?”
“Ye Ge took her back.”
“So it didn’t succeed?” Zhou No.1 sat down on the bench in the yard in frustration.
Just then, a rasp, yet forceful voice suddenly rang out, “Of course it didn’t succeed!”
Everyone in the courtyard jumped in surprise.
At the gate, a tall figure wearing a hat stood, looking like a ghost.
After a while, Zhou No.1 finally recognised the man as Ye Ge. He summoned his courage for not being scared of Ye Ge, asking, “What do you want?”
Zhou No.2 also rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight, “Yes, we’re not afraid of you even if we have to fight. Just because you can hunt doesn’t mean you can beat both of us brothers!”
Wang Family also picked up a nearby hoe, brandishing it towards Ye Ge.
However, Ye Ge didn’t show a hint of panic, walking inside calmly.
