Chapter 77 A flash of cold light, his ability reverses the tide!
Ye Ting was never one to dawdle; he raised his hand and sheathed his sword.
He didn't rely on any external force in this move. He intended to use his age and cultivation to suppress a seven-year-old child.
He stared intently at Lu Qingjia, trying to find a trace of fear on his face. But that porcelain-white face was filled with fearlessness.
Ye Ting made his move.
He truly made his move; his long, powerful hands twisted into a cross in the sky, and amidst the dim light in his eyes, a flash of red light burst forth as he stabbed fiercely at Lu Qingjia.
Realizing that the person in front of him didn't intend to use their sword but rather to suppress him with internal force, Lu Qingjia's eyes darkened, and he moved swiftly.
Taking advantage of his small size, he easily dodged the palm strike. Lu Qingjia looked somewhat smug, but then felt a violent impact coming from behind him.
He turned around.
It emitted a red glow of internal energy and rushed towards him.
Fortunately, he was born into the family of a general who protected the country and had practiced martial arts since childhood. He only hesitated for a moment before narrowly dodging the attack.
Her porcelain-white, delicate face, as tender as green leaves, was scratched, leaving a thin red mark with a drop of blood seeping out.
He looked at the stern-faced Ye Ting in front of him, and couldn't help but let out a sob, "Wow, my bad brother's subordinates are so cunning!"
Little did he know how many ripples this single sound would create in Ye Ting's heart.
He used 70% of his internal energy in that move. His purpose was to see if Lu Qingjia could dodge it.
The little boy stood still, easily evading his internal force attack. Although his face suffered a minor injury, the shock still surged into his heart like a tidal wave.
Ye Ting stared at his numb palms, then glanced at the pitiful-looking Lu Qingjia. Now he understood—
This child is only seven years old, but his internal strength is almost on par with mine.
His talent is terrifyingly amazing.
This was also the first time Ye Ting realized the importance of talent.
He ignored Lu Qingjia's mournful gaze and walked up to Yan Jue. His expression was calm, but his straight back bent. "Reporting to Master, Young Master Lu successfully withstood three of my moves. I have lost."
Yan Jue didn't even bother to open his eyelids. "It's nothing, you can leave now. Let me have a word with Young Master Lu."
Lu Qingjia happily walked to Shen Pingjin's side, her joy barely concealed. "Pretty sister, Jiajia successfully withstood three moves from the bad brother's subordinate."
Shen Pingjin witnessed the entire process, and she now truly understood Lu Qingjia's capabilities. However, at the same time, a question arose in her mind.
So why is it that Lu Qingjia, despite being so powerful, didn't help himself when faced with kidnappers in his past life or this life?
Despite being reborn, Shen Pingjin still felt that some things were too puzzling and she couldn't understand them.
"Pretty sister, why are you ignoring Jiajia?" Lu Qingjia tugged at Chen Pingjin's sleeve, looking aggrieved, and lowered her head.
Interrupted from her thoughts, Chen Pingjin looked at the boy in front of her. She concealed the doubt in her eyes and gently patted Lu Qingjia's head. "Jiajia, I was just thinking about what to make for you. I didn't ignore you at all."
Hearing this, Lu Qingjia cheered up again.
Yan Jue felt helpless watching the little brat act spoiled in front of Shen Pingjin.
He stepped forward, grabbed Lu Qingjia by the back of the neck, and forced him to look at him.
This is the second time... Lu Qingjia turned her head and saw Yan Jue, and burst into tears.
"Why are you crying? Have you forgotten what I told you?"
Lu Qingjia was taken aback. Seeing Yan Jue pull her over, she turned around and looked at Chen Pingjin with a pitiful expression.
Shen Pingjin frowned as she looked at Yan Jue, but after noticing the indifferent expression on his face, she shut her mouth.
She didn't want to talk to Yan Jue.
Yan Jue smiled, a rare hint of smugness flashing across his usually calm and composed face.
Lu Qingjia felt like he was about to explode. The moment his gaze fell on Yan Jue, all his goodwill vanished. "You wicked brother, you should keep your promise!"
Yan Jue looked at the child in front of him with amusement, picked him up like a chick, and said, "What promise? I don't know anything about it."
“You…” Even if Lu Qingjia thought he was cunning, he couldn’t believe that his wicked brother, the Regent, was so shameless.
Seeing Lu Qingjia's wide-open eyes, Yan Jue's amusement faded. His dark eyes, as black as the night sky, were now adorned with scattered light. "Don't worry, I keep my promise. In the future, even if General Lu doesn't send you here, you can freely enter and leave the Regent's Palace."
Lu Qingjia saw the old fox in front of her wagging his tail. Seeing that he had actually given in, a look of wariness flashed in her eyes. "You bad brother, you agreed to me so easily. Are you thinking of another way to trick me?"
Yan Jue laughed: "How do you think I'll play a trick on you?"
This made Lu Qingjia think deeply. He was just a child. Could it be that this bad brother really had a heart rupture and was still trying to play tricks on him?
Lu Qingjia shook her head, her eyes shining brightly. "Jiajia thinks that the bad brother wouldn't tease her, after all... the bad brother is the pretty sister's husband. The pretty sister is so good to me, so the bad brother will love her too!"
The word "husband" truly struck a chord with Yan Jue. He nodded in satisfaction, "That's right, you're right." After saying that, he put Lu Qingjia back on the ground.
With a slight pain from being pulled on the back of her neck, Lu Qingjia finally managed to escape the clutches of this wicked older brother and immediately ran back to Chen Pingjin's side.
While running, he didn't forget to make a face at Yan Jue.
Yan Jue shook his head helplessly. He hadn't intended to make things difficult for a child today. He... just wanted to see what kind of strength the future general of the Zhenguo General's Mansion possessed.
He knew about Ye Ting's internal strength and martial arts skills. He had personally witnessed Lu Qingjia, a seven-year-old child, effortlessly withstand three moves from Ye Ting. Instantly, he had a better understanding of Lu Qingjia's capabilities.
However, he shared the same question as Shen Pingjin: why was it so easy for a kidnapper to abduct Lu Qingjia in Caoshi?
Meanwhile, he sent people to track down the kidnapper, but as they followed, it was as if someone was deliberately helping him conceal the truth, and there was no trace of him left.
There must be something fishy about this.
Yan Jue watched as Shen Pingjin led Lu Qingjia, who had a funny face, into the mansion. As they walked further and further away, he turned his back on them.
He ordered Ye Ting, "Ye Ting, go and investigate this matter for me..."
