From Joy of Life to Becoming a Saint

Chapter 77: Riding the tiger away from the mountain?

However, to Li Yunrui's surprise, when she told the news, she did not see the panic expression on the other person's face as she had expected.

Chen Qiye raised the corner of his mouth, exerted force with his arms, and hugged Li Yunrui to sit down. Except for the table and chairs where the woman was sitting, everything else in the room was almost broken into pieces. The whole building was also crumbling. The people downstairs had already fled, and no one had come up despite the loud noise, which meant that the situation in the area had been under control.

However, Chen Qiye was not in a hurry at all. He pinched the crazy beauty's neck with one hand and poured a cup of poisoned tea with the other hand and tasted it leisurely.

"It would be time-consuming and laborious to ask someone. Why don't we just sit here and drink tea while waiting? I think it won't be long before His Highness's people will bring back the news."

Seeing how calm he was, the confident smile on Li Yunrui's face gradually disappeared.

She tilted her head and looked at him suspiciously: "I know exactly how many guards you have in your house, but they are just some ordinary servants guarding the house. Facing a warrior of the seventh or eighth rank, how long do you think they can hold out?"

"You are indeed very strong, and your strength is somewhat puzzling. It is really strange that you are not afraid of the poison that even the Grand Master is afraid of."

"But no matter how strong you are, you are still a person, and you are weak after all. It's good that you have no worries, but it is obvious that you have, besides the little maid you placed in Kyoto, and your father in Lezhou."

"With your whole family here, how can you be defeated by dividing and attacking them? No matter how strong you are, what can you do?"

"I admit that I didn't think much of you before, but now your strange personal strength has changed my mind. As long as you are willing to help me, my words just now are still valid."

Chen Qiye shook his head and laughed when he heard that. After taking a sip of tea, he reached out and lifted her chin.

"You guys not only poisoned me, but also attacked people around me. Do you think I'm like him and willing to be your dog?"

As Chen Qiye spoke, he raised his finger and pointed at Yan Xiaoyi who was drawing his bow and arrow and glaring at him angrily.

The veins on Yan Xiaoyi's arms were bulging and his face was ashen and bloodless.

"Let go of your dirty hands, or I will kill you even at the ends of the earth."

“Hehe…hahahaha…”

"You are so loyal. Your Highness is really good at training people."

Chen Qiye said with a big laugh.

When he called Yan Xiaoyi a dog, he didn't refute at all. Instead, he cared more about whether he had touched his goddess. It was amazing.

At this moment, Li Yunrui was no longer as calm as before, because the big hand that was strangling her neck was still there, and she gradually had difficulty breathing.

“Ahem… Hehe, fine then. Since I want to see what other cards you have, let’s wait and see. But don’t blame me for not reminding you that the orders received by the people who go to your house do not include any mercy.”

"If you continue to waste time here, even if your little beauty survives, I'm afraid she won't feel well."

"Okay, then wait."

Chen Qiye replied indifferently, then carefully stared at Yan Xiaoyi's movements and controlled Li Yunrui. The few of them waited quietly in this broken room in a very strange state.

Before, when he was investigating the location of the person who shot arrows at his house, although he did not notice the archer, he discovered several suspicious auras near his house.

He soon realized that perhaps someone was trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

When he confirmed that the highest of the ambushers was only of the eighth rank, Chen Qiye did not make it public. Instead, he secretly left a note for Qin Feier and Ye Xiaoling and left home to keep the appointment.

Although Qin Feier has just been promoted to the ninth rank and has no decent martial arts skills, she may not have much chance of winning if she meets a ninth rank opponent. But if she faces someone below the ninth rank, it will be like chopping melons and vegetables. She doesn't need any skills and can just rely on her fists to deal with him.

The facts were just as he expected... Not long ago, in the front yard of Chen Mansion.

“Hmm…ha…hey…ha…”

Ye Xiaoling waved her fists in a methodical manner, practicing over and over again in the yard according to the posture her young master had taught her, and she shouted with each wave.

Qin Feier next to her also followed her movements, swinging her fists and feet in the same way.

His movements looked a little laborious, and his face was covered in bruises. He had just rested for a short time when he got up, so his movements were somewhat slow.

Listening to Ye Xiaoling humming and groaning, and shouting every time she moved, she couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoling, although this set of palm techniques is very mysterious, I remember that when you practice it normally, you don't shout every time you strike, right?"

"Hey!"

Ye Xiaoling swung her palm, then turned around and pouted, complaining: "Sister Fei'er, I didn't want to shout, but the young master forced me to shout every time I made a move, saying that it was to prevent me from being lazy and to improve my concentration."

"I was reluctant at first because it was so weird, but every time I screamed less I got beaten, and then I got used to it."

Thinking of Chen Qiye's domineering nature and his unsympathetic character, Qin Feier understood her instantly.

"That's it..."

"Young Master is so capable... what he said must have his reasons."

Ye Xiaoling waved a few more moves, slowly moved to Qin Feier's side, and then whispered: "Sister Feier, the young master said that there might be bad guys coming to deal with us in a while, is it true?"

Qin Feier heard this and looked around, then replied: "Don't be afraid, the young master asked me to protect you, I won't let you be in any danger."

Ye Xiaoling shook her head: "Sister Fei'er, just protect yourself for a while."

Qin Feier looked at her strangely: "Aren't you afraid?"

She knew very well that this personal maid was too well protected by the young master and had basically never encountered any setbacks. She was very timid, so she was a little surprised to hear such words.

Ye Xiaoling nodded again: "Of course I'm afraid!"

"But the young master said that if I remain so timid, I will become a burden to him sooner or later. If I remain so inexperienced and cowardly, he will kick me out of the house if he is unhappy one day."

"Those who rely on others for protection are burdens. If you don't want to be a burden, you have to become powerful. I don't want to be a burden, and I'm even more afraid of the days without the young master, so I have to work hard to make myself stronger and protect myself."

"Since the young master told us to practice with the bad guys who came this time and improve our practical experience, then I can't hide under your protection, Sister Fei'er."

Qin Feier looked stunned, then shook her head and sighed, "Don't worry, your position in the young master's heart is much higher than you think, he won't be willing to drive you away."

"Not always."

Ye Xiaoling looked helpless: "Most of the time, the young master means what he says, and he never holds back when he hits someone."

Qin Feier was about to reply that this was indeed true, but suddenly...she sensed danger and immediately protected Ye Xiaoling behind her.

He stared at one direction cautiously and said solemnly: "They are coming."
