【Chapter 011】Reward with Ten Strike
The moment he entered the portable space, Nangong Chenyu was ecstatic. His jade pendant space really turned into a portable space that could hold living things.
With ecstasy in his heart, he opened his eyes.
But when he saw the scene in front of him, he was completely stunned.
Why is the scene in the portable space different from what he imagined?
The space that could be seen was only as big as a basketball court. There was a thatched hut that was crumbling, and the ground was so dry that cracks appeared on it. The entire space was desolate, like the scene after a severe drought.
This, this, this...
how so?
Shouldn't the portable space be filled with spiritual herbs and rich spiritual energy?
Why is there no spiritual energy in his personal space, and why is it so barren?
At this time, Nangong Chenyu also knew why the jade pendant did not open immediately after absorbing his blood.
Because there is no spiritual energy.
In the previous second, Nangong Chenyu was like leeks watered by rain - standing tall; in the next second, he was like eggplants hit by frost - wilted.
As the saying goes, one thought can lead to heaven or hell. One thought of hope, one thought of despair.
This is how Nangong Chenyu feels.
Before he had time to feel sad about the passing of autumn and spring, Nangong Chenyu felt that he was having difficulty breathing, and he rushed into the thatched hut as fast as he could.
After a quick glance, his eyes fixed on a silver ring on the table. Taking a few steps forward, he grabbed the ring and said to himself: Get out!
The next moment, someone else appeared in the room out of nowhere.
This was followed by the sound of "knock knock knock" on the door.
"Uncle, uncle~"
After taking a few deep breaths, Nangong Chenyu put the ring on his finger. He then put the rope that tied the jade pendant that fell on the ground into his personal space, and then went to open the door.
Xiaoliu's hand almost hit Nangong Chenyu's chest, but fortunately he withdrew his hand in time and called out awkwardly, "Uncle."
"Ah~" Nangong Chenyu yawned loudly.
Xiaoliu: “…”
Seeing the door of the room opened, Ye Yongtao's fiery eyes looked angrily at the person standing in the room, gritting his teeth and said, "Let me go quickly, I will beat this fool to death today."
If he hadn't been held down by two people, he would have rushed over, smashed down the door, and beat Nangong Chenyu to death. He has never been beaten by anyone in his life.
Steward Du had a cold face and ordered the servant beside him: "Shut his mouth."
He and the eldest young master had just left his brother-in-law's yard when Ye Yongtao arrived. You can tell with your toes what this guy wants to do by coming to my brother-in-law's yard. It's not a good thing.
He arrived a minute ago.
As soon as he arrived, he saw Ye Yongtao lying on his back on the ground and his brother-in-law was closing the door.
At this time, someone else walked in from the gate.
The person who came was Ye Yishen, and he was supported by Xiaoshun. His already pale face turned even paler, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
It can be seen that although he could not run, he rushed over as fast as possible.
Seeing him, Ye Yongtao immediately made a "Mmm~" sound.
Ye Yisheng frowned and looked at Ye Yongtao, then asked Xiaoliu: "What's going on?"
Xiao Liu immediately began to describe the situation vividly: "Master, after you and Steward Du left, the son-in-law went to sleep. But just as the son-in-law fell asleep, Master Yongtao came."
"Da Zhuang and his men who were guarding the door would not let Young Master Yong Tao in. Young Master Yong Tao not only scolded Da Zhuang and his men, but also ordered his men to beat them up."
"My son-in-law couldn't sleep because of the noise, so he got up to check."
"Young Master Yongtao forced his way into the yard. After seeing my uncle, he was tempted to touch me. As a result, Young Master Yongtao lost his balance and fell down."
"The uncle was frightened and ran into the room."
"Then Butler Du came."
Ye Yongtao opened his eyes wide and looked at Xiaoliu in disbelief. He was clearly kicked to the ground by a fool, but this Xiaoliu actually said that he fell by himself.
"Mmmm~" He kept shaking his head.
Nangong Chenyu: “…” Xiaoliu, you are really Xiaoliu!
If the footprints on Ye Yongtao's clothes on his chest hadn't been there, he would have thought that he had never kicked Ye Yongtao.
Ye Yishen sat down on the chair that Zhong Ming brought out, and his eyes just met the footprints on Ye Yongtao's clothes. He winked at Xiao Shun and ordered, "Go and take the handkerchief out of your cousin's mouth."
Xiao Shun understood what he meant, walked up to Ye Yongtao, and greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Master Yongtao."
"Mmmm~" Ye Yongtao gave Xiaoshun a look that said "hurry up". Then he glared at the two people who were still holding him and signaled them to let go.
The two men stood straight, looking straight ahead.
Xiaoshun helped Ye Yongtao straighten his clothes and wiped off the footprints on his clothes. Then he slowly took out the handkerchief that was covering his mouth, and said to the two servants who were holding him, "Let Young Master Yongtao go."
"Let me go now." Ye Yongtao also yelled at the two of them.
The two turned a deaf ear and looked at Ye Yisheng. Seeing Ye Yisheng nod, the two let go.
Ye Yongtao snorted coldly and was about to kick the two people who had been holding him.
It was naturally impossible for the two of them to stand still.
So, Ye Yongtao's kick missed. Because he kicked with too much force, there was no place to relieve the force. So he performed a flat fall for everyone.
Everyone: “…”
Ye Yishen winked at the guards who had detained the people brought by Ye Yongtao, and they immediately released them.
After being freed, the four men did not dare to move and cautiously glanced at Ye Yishen.
Ye Yisheng shouted at the four people: "Come and help your young master up."
The four of them hurried forward and hurriedly helped Ye Yongtao up.
Ye Yongtao stood up and kicked the people who helped him up, cursing, "Useless trash!"
Several of them were from the second house and did not dare to hide. They could only let Ye Yongtao vent his unhappiness.
"Cousin, I was kicked by a fool just now and fell to the ground." Ye Yongtao glared at Xiaoliu and continued, "I don't know who instructed Xiaoliu to lie on purpose."
Xiao Liu cried out in injustice: "Master, I didn't receive any instructions from anyone. I saw it clearly just now. It was Master Yongtao who fell down by himself."
Ye Yongtao pointed at Xiaoliu and said angrily: "You are lying. You clearly saw me being kicked by a fool."
Xiaoliu argued: "I am an honest man. I never lie."
Ye Yongtao was furious: "You, you you..."
Having a headache from the quarrel between the two, Ye Yisheng rubbed his temples and asked, "Cousin, what are you doing here?"
Ye Yongtao's eyes were erratic, and he didn't dare to look Ye Yisheng in the eye: "I... I was just passing by here, and I came to see silly... brother-in-law."
Ye Yisheng: "Passing by here?"
Ye Yongtao nodded: "Yes, I passed by here."
Ye Yisheng said with a fake smile: "This courtyard is the most remote courtyard in the mansion. No matter where you go, you will not pass by here."
Ye Yongtao: “…” Why did he say he was just passing by?
"I actually came here specifically to see Gefu. I just wanted to ask him if he's used to living in the Ye Mansion."
"Cousin, who gave you the illusion that I'm easy to fool?" Ye Yisheng's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his aura changed as well.
Feeling that Ye Yisheng was really angry, Ye Yongtao's body trembled involuntarily, and he quickly begged for mercy: "Cousin, please forgive me this time! I will never come here again."
The reason why Ye Yongtao was so afraid of Ye Yishen was because three years ago, Ye Yongtao and Ye Yuncheng had an argument, and Ye Yongtao pushed Ye Yuncheng into the lotus pond.
Afterwards, Ye Yuncheng fell seriously ill.
At that time, Ye Xian was not at home. When Ye Yishen found out, he ordered his servants to arrest Ye Yongtao and throw him into the lotus pond. If Old Madam Ye had not arrived in time, Ye Yongtao would have drowned.
From then on, every time Ye Yongtao saw Ye Yisheng, it was like a mouse seeing a cat.
Ye Yishen placed his hands on the armrests of the chair, tapping them gently, and looked at Ye Yongtao without a trace of emotion.
After a while, he turned to Xiaoliu and said, "Xiaoliu, take Young Master Nangong to the yard next to mine."
"Yes, Master."
After Xiaoliu agreed, he said to Nangong Chenyu who was hiding in the room watching the fun, "Sir, I will take you to a quiet place to sleep."
Nangong Chenyu: “…” He wanted to stay and see what happened next.
In the end, Nangong Chenyu followed Xiaoliu obediently.
Ye Yishen looked at the guards.
Several guards immediately stepped forward and said, "Young Master."
Ye Yisheng ordered in a cold voice: "My cousin's feet don't obey him. As his cousin, I naturally have to help him. I will give him ten strokes of the cane."
Ye Yongtao often punished servants who did not perform their duties well in this way. Every time he saw them being beaten to a pulp, wailing and crying for mercy, he felt a perverted sense of satisfaction in his heart.
But now the person being beaten is about to become him, and he has only fear and terror in his heart.
Before the guards came close, he turned and ran out of the yard. He wants to find his grandmother, because only his grandmother can save him now.
The guards were all martial artists, so there was no way the spoiled Ye Yongtao could outrun them. Before he could run to the gate of the yard, he was caught by several guards.
A few security guards quickly pinned him down on a bench.
"No, cousin, you can't let them beat me."
Ye Yishen took the tea handed to him by Xiaoshun and took a sip elegantly without even looking at Ye Yongtao.
Ye Yongtao was still begging for mercy: "Cousin, I swear, I will never come to this yard again, please forgive me this time."
Outside the yard, a servant who was peeking out heard the noise in the yard and hurriedly ran towards Old Madam Ye's yard.
The guards disliked Ye Yongtao for being too noisy, and one of them took off his socks and stuffed them into Ye Yongtao's mouth.
Now, Ye Yongtao couldn't scream anymore, and he was even crying because of the stinky tabi.
"Pa~Pa~" the board hit his buttocks, and Ye Yongtao's face was covered with tears and snot.
Just after the ten strokes of the cane were completed, Old Madam Ye also arrived. She walked very briskly and didn't look like an old lady in her fifties or sixties at all. The maids and old women following behind her were all panting and sweating profusely.
Enter the yard.
The scene in the courtyard came into the eyes of Old Madam Ye. Seeing Ye Yongtao lying on the bench and wailing in pain, Old Lady Ye's eyes were filled with distress.
"Tao'er."
