Chapter 39: Taking Action
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Meizhen, Yiping, Jinyue, you three leave first. Yilin, Yifeng and I will stop them.” Zhan Dafeng immediately made a decision. He jumped out of the bullock cart and said to Uncle Li who was driving the cart, “Uncle Li, hurry up and take them away.” This gang of thieves had chased after them simply to take their revenge. Even if the three of them were not their match, they would at most suffer a beating from them.
“Okay!” Uncle Li responded quickly. He was terribly petrified at the moment. He had been driving the cart for many years but had never encountered such a situation.
Su Jinyue jumped out of the bullock cart with the three men and said, “Uncle Zhan, I’ll stay with you guys.” She was the cause of this incident, so she had the responsibility to settle those people.
“You’re a girl, why are you trying to get in on the action. Hurry up and get on the cart,” Zhan Dafeng objected with a stern face. If Jinyue was injured, how would he explain to Yihan?
“Uncle Zhan, I’m the cause of this incident, so I must face it together with you guys.” Su Jinyue looked at Zhan Dafeng resolutely. Since she had the ability to deal with those people from before, how could she watch them get bullied by the gang of thieves.
“Dad, let Jinyue stay with us then,” Zhan Yifeng said. Although he did not know what Su Jinyue’s abilities were like, he had seen for himself the state that the two young men had ended up in, when he was at the noodle shop. Even though Su Jinyue did not admit it at that time, who else could it have been besides her?
While they were talking, five youths in floral shirts were riding their bicycles and came to where the four of them were, surrounding them in the centre.
Seeing that it was too late to leave, Zhan Dafeng could only sigh resignedly. Right now, he could only hope that Su Jinyue would be able to protect herself.
“Go on and run, continue running.”
“You guys want to escape after provoking us. Dream on.”
“Woah! Take a look, this little girl is really pretty.”
“Little girl, how about this. If you are willing to play with us big brothers, we’ll let you guys off.”
Su Jinyue smiled coldly. She took a step forward, and kicked the youth who was talking.
Before the young man had any time to react, Su Jinyue had already kicked him off the bicycle and sent him flying far away.
The few of them that were present were all stunned. They had never thought that the first person to make a move would be Su Jinyue.
The curly-haired young man snapped out of it and said with a serious face to his remaining three subordinates, “All of you attack! F*ck them up!” He had been around for so many years but had never been bullied by others like today. He was definitely going to ruthlessly teach them a lesson.
The three men also did not take it lying down and raised their fists against the young men charging at them. They worked in the fields all year round. Even if they did not know how to fight, they were still quite strong.
The curly-haired young man jumped off his bicycle and walked towards Su Jinyue with a lewd smile, “You can knock me down if you have what it takes, or else… Hehe!” In his opinion, Su Jinyue’s kick just now was just a fluke. How powerful could a woman possibly be?
Su Jinyue’s gaze was calm and cold. When her opponent was still a step away from her, she moved in a flash. Deftly grabbing the opponent’s arm, she flung her opponent out with little effort and the man landed with precision on the young man who was about to get up.
The two of them fell in a heap and rolled on the ground in pain.
Su Jinyue turned to look at the trio of men, and smiled slightly when she saw that they were not at a disadvantage.
The more she thought about it, the more Wang Meizhen became worried. She said to Uncle Li, who was driving the cart, “Uncle Li, wait here for me for a while. I’ll go and check out the situation.” Those people looked very ruthless, so how could she rest at ease. She knew she would not be able to help even if she went there, but it was better than being so worried.
“Mum, you better not go. It’s too dangerous,” Zhan Yiping persuaded Wang Meizhen, who was about to get off the cart.
Uncle Li nodded in agreement and said, “Yes, Zhan Family’s Wife, you’re a woman and won’t be able to help much even if you go, and you might even be a burden on the three men.”
“But I’m worried.” Wang Meizhen’s heart was filled with anxiety and worry. If she did not go and take a look, she really wouldn’t be able to rest at ease.
While she was talking, she heard someone shouting from behind her.
Spinning her head around quickly, she then Zhan Dafeng and the other three sprinting towards them.
“They are coming. Uncle Li, stop the cart!” Wang Meizhen shouted in surprise, her heart filled with excitement.?It’s great that they’re okay.
When the four of them got onto the cart, Wang Meizhen immediately asked, “Where are those people?” She was a little worried that they would chase after them.
“They got beaten up by us and are lying on the road now.” Zhan Yilin smiled triumphantly.
Seeing her son’s self-satisfied expression, Wang Meizhen burst out laughing. “Since when did the three of you men become so powerful?” The other party had five people and she did not believe that Jinyue could lend any help.
“It’s not us that’s powerful, it’s Jinyue. If it weren’t for her, we would definitely be beaten up by those thieves,” Zhan Dafeng said while smiling. He was becoming more and more pleased with Jinyue, his future daughter-in-law. She could really wield both the pen and the sword.
Wang Meizhen looked at Su Jinyue incredulously and said, “Jinyue, you really know martial arts?” Jinyue mentioned before that Yihan had taught her some martial arts. At that time, she did not quite believe her. Yihan had only been back for a few days, no matter how smart Jinyue was, how much could she have learnt.
“Just a little,” Su Jinyue said modestly.
“How is that ‘just a little’? Mum, you didn’t get to witness it but Jinyue is really amazing. She easily took down two of the young men in just a few moves,” Zhan Yilin said with a smile. At first, he thought that Jinyue’s skills would be all show and no go, but when he saw how she cleanly took down the two young men, only then did he realize that he had underestimated her.
Wang Meizhen held Su Jinyue’s hand and looked at her happily, “Jinyue, thank you so much this time.” If Jinyue did not have any real skills, her husband and son would not praise her like that. Yihan’s taste is fantastic!
Zhan Yiping snuck a peek at Su Jinyue. Right now, she was really a bit frightened of Su Jinyue. She had better not provoke Su Jinyue in the future.
When she got back home, Su Jinyue went into her room and began to cultivate. Cultivation did not happen overnight, it required perseverance.
Su Jinyue continued cultivating until she heard the knock on the door.
She got up and opened the door. When she saw Xu Tiansheng outside the door, Su Jinyue smiled slightly and said, “Teacher, you’re back back from picking herbs. Did you reap anything good today?” When she got back, Teacher was not back yet.
“I just got back and saw that you didn’t come out, so I came to see you. Has that lad from the Zhan Family left?” Xu Tiansheng asked. He was worried that Jinyue was shutting herself in the room because she was in a bad mood from Zhan Yihan leaving.
Su Jinyue nodded. She glanced at the clock on the wall, and saw that it was almost six o’clock. “Teacher, you must be hungry. I’ll go and make dinner.”
“Yiren has already made dinner. You can go to the main hall first. I’ll go and wash my face..” Seeing that Su Jinyue’s mood seemed fine, Xu Tiansheng felt relieved.
