Chapter 16 016 Growth
Yin Chu Jiu was no match for the leader. He felt a strong vibration travel from his palm up his arm and then to his body, striking him hard in the chest.
Then, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and vomited a mouthful of blood.
Is it ever going to get better?
That's such a loss! How much money will it take to make up for it?
He's already very poor, okay?
Yin Chu Jiu noticed that the frequency with which he swore had been steadily increasing over the past two days.
However, this was not the time to regret. Yin Chu Jiu quickly turned around and told Yue Ling to run. With him and Yin Chu San holding the line here, he would definitely be able to escape to the outside of the city.
For some reason, Yue Ling froze. He called out twice, but the boy didn't move. Yin Chu Jiu was almost frantic with worry.
Fortunately, Yin Chusan's cousin was reliable. He rushed over not long after Yin Chusan arrived. Yin Chusan's cultivation level was the same as his, but he was taller and stronger, and he was better at fighting than him.
"Chu Jiu, take that kid and run!" Before Yin Chu Jiu could think of a solution, he ran over, shoved him aside, and started fighting with the leader. "I'm from the Yin family. They won't dare lay a hand on me. To lay a hand on me would be to oppose the Yin family!"
Sure enough, after Yin Chusan called out the names of the Yin family, the leader's attack paused for a moment.
Upon seeing this, Yin Chu Jiu turned around, grabbed Yue Ling who was stunned for no apparent reason, and ran away. The other three burly men tried to stop them, but they were not very strong and were quickly left behind.
Fortunately, this is the early part of the novel, and the cannon fodder characters aren't very powerful, otherwise they definitely wouldn't have been able to escape.
Yin Chu Jiu kept pulling Yue Ling forward until they reached the edge of the grove. Then he looked around and found a small hill where he had been following Yue Ling and hiding there. He pushed Yue Ling over there to hide.
"Yue Ling, stay here and don't move. I'll come back for you in a bit."
The boy remained stunned.
Yin Chu Jiu didn't care why, quickly comforted the boy for a few moments, and then ran back.
No matter the reason, he couldn't let Yin Chusan deal with those four people by himself; it was too inhumane.
Unaware that Yue Ling had emerged from the small hill, Yin Chu Jiu stared at his retreating figure for a long time until he disappeared from sight.
Yin Chu San was right. Those people didn't dare to attack the Yin family, at least not to kill them. So, when Yin Chu Jiu ran back, she saw Yin Chu San, with the strength of a seventh-level Human Pearl, blocking a ninth-level Human Pearl and three other strong men.
very good!
Yin Chu Jiu quickly ran over and joined forces with Yin Chu Jiu to fight against the four people. With one person joining, the two of them were against the four, and the four were wary of them. The battle was about to end.
The leader asked angrily, "Why are you two helping that monster?!"
"That monster wasn't driven out of Rolling Cloud Alley, are you all out of your minds? You're still protecting that monster!" The leader's face showed disgust, and his tone was full of resentment. "Protecting such... a monster!"
He didn't recognize Yin Chu Jiu as the person living with Yue Ling. The information they had gathered was that someone was living with Yue Ling, but he didn't know that person was Yin Chu Jiu.
The leader's words were so harsh that they made Yin Chu Jiu's heart ache. He immediately rubbed his chest and said, "That's none of your business. Anyway, if your Gong family tries to capture Yue Ling again, don't blame me for being impolite."
That hit really hurt.
"By targeting Yue Ling, you are going against Juan Yun Lane. So what if Yue Ling is expelled? He is still a member of Juan Yun Lane!"
Yin Chu Jiu raised a large flag in Juan Yun Lane to protect Yue Ling.
As for the fact that he has been expelled from the Yin family, these people probably won't inquire about it. Besides, they don't know their names and can't find out anyway.
"Also, stop calling him a monster. Can't you watch your mouth?" Yin Chu Jiu was furious that these people were calling Yue Ling like that, but he also knew that he was the one who caused it all. He had no right to be angry with those people, but he was not willing to let it go like that. So he said a very chuunibyou line, "In the future, you will definitely be surprised by his appearance and shocked by his powerful strength."
After thinking for a moment, he added, still unwilling to give up, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential!"
Yin Chusan had obviously thought of this as well. He stood next to Yin Chujiu, demonstrating through his actions that he and Yin Chujiu were on the same side.
Yin Chu Jiu and Yin Chu San are essentially the young masters of the Yin family in Juan Yun Lane, while these people are just servants of the Gong family. Their statuses are vastly different. Upon hearing their words, the people stood there and pondered for a few seconds.
Finally, feeling very unwilling, he turned and left.
Once those people were out of sight, Yin Chu Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, as did Yin Chu San. He nudged Yin Chu Jiu's arm and said, "Chu Jiu, I didn't realize you could say such powerful things just now."
Haha, this wasn't what he said, but what the protagonist in a novel said.
That protagonist is amazing; he eventually becomes the world's number one. Don't you think what he says is impressive?
"Chu San, I want to go see Yue Ling first. Can you come with me by yourself?" Yin Chu Jiu rubbed her chest again and said anxiously to Yin Chu San.
Knowing this would happen, Yin Chusan nodded unhappily, "Fine, go ahead."
"Okay, then I'll be going now."
Yin Chu Jiu hurriedly said these words, then turned and ran off. Yin Chu San sighed, grimaced, and followed after Yin Chu Jiu's retreating figure.
Overgrown with weeds, the hillside stands tall.
A boy dressed in tattered but clean clothes stood there, gazing into the distance, seemingly waiting for someone.
Yin Chu Jiu suddenly stopped, surprised that he was standing there, but the next moment she rushed over nervously and pushed the boy down to hide.
"Why did you come out? Those guys might follow us. It's dangerous for you to be standing here like this." Yin Chu Jiu said, panting heavily.
But the boy didn't reply. Instead, he just looked at him silently. Yin Chu Jiu was a little tired and her chest ached, so she didn't notice.
He kept talking and giving instructions, but the boy remained silent. After a while, Yin Chu Jiu finally noticed. However, the boy had always been relatively quiet in front of him, so he didn't find it strange.
After resting for a while, he began to check the boy for any injuries. He didn't let the boy stand up, but instead spun around him like a top, examining him.
Good, there are no wounds on his back, Yin Chu Jiu is relieved.
He shifted his body slightly, tentatively lifting the boy's arm. Seeing that the boy didn't object, he continued his examination. Just then, he heard the boy, who had his back to him, speak. His voice was low and hoarse, a voice that hadn't been spoken in a long time.
“Go away,” he said. “You’ve had enough, go away.”
Yin Chu Jiu stopped moving.
"I don't blame you anymore, you can go. I'm not hurt, and I don't need to be checked."
Yin Chu Jiu unconsciously loosened her grip on the boy's hand.
Yue Ling sensed it. He lowered his eyes to hide the darkness in them and continued, "Back then, you only bullied me for two years. You've repaid me for seven years. That's enough."
That's enough?
A look of confusion flashed in Yin Chu Jiu's eyes. How could it be enough? He was prepared to repay the debt in this world forever, and the boy had always been unyielding. How could it suddenly be enough?
not enough.
It's never enough.
If his previous attempts to make amends stemmed from self-blame and regret, over the past few years, he has genuinely raised Yue Ling as his own child, and he truly loves this child dearly.
This is the child who has had a difficult life because of him, the child who has suffered discrimination because of him.
Grasping the boy's hand again, Yin Chu Jiu tapped him on the head like she would her younger brother, scolding, "What do you mean, 'enough'? Even if you think it's enough, I won't leave."
"I will be good to you, always be good to you, and be good to you for the rest of my life." I will be good to you until you get your own opportunities, until you no longer need me, and only then will I leave.
Although... he still doesn't know if he can go back ORZ...
Yin Chu Jiu suddenly stopped, swallowing all the words that were about to come out of his throat, and patted Yue Ling's head!
He quickly pulled his head back from the boy's head, forgetting that the boy wouldn't allow him to get close to him, let alone pat his head.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." He chuckled dryly and explained, "I was a little emotional just now."
The boy didn't speak, seemingly very angry at his offensive gesture.
Yin Chu Jiu: QAQ
The atmosphere was dangerous at one point.
Fortunately, Yin Chusan was very helpful and ran over in time. Looking at that familiar tall and strong figure, Yin Chujiu decided that if she could go back, she would add more plot to the child's story and give him a happy ending.
Write down his wife and children.
Pretending the dangerous atmosphere didn't exist, Yin Chu Jiu jogged over to Yin Chu San and smiled at him, saying, "Chu San, thank you for earlier." She tried to change the subject.
Yin Chu San glanced at Yue Ling beside him, then turned his gaze to Yin Chu Jiu, looking displeased. "What are you thanking me for? You're my brother, your business is my business. If you do this again, I'll get angry." He was completely uncooperative.
"Hehe, then I won't say anything." Yin Chu Jiu laughed awkwardly. He didn't dare to look at Yue Ling's expression at all. After thinking for a moment, he went to check if Yin Chu San was injured. "Chu San, come here, let me see if you are injured."
Yin Chusan: "Okay, I was accidentally hit just now, and my back hurts a bit. Can you take a look?"
Is he really injured? Yin Chu Jiu immediately became nervous. He had only wanted to change the subject, but he didn't expect Yin Chu San to actually be injured.
Yin Chu Jiu nervously looked at Yin Chu San's back, but before he could take off Yin Chu San's clothes, he heard the boy who hadn't spoken until now speak again.
He said, "My hand hurts."
Yin Chu Jiu… he asked cautiously, “What did you just say…”
"Yin Chu Jiu." Before Yin Chu Jiu could finish speaking, Yue Ling interrupted him with a blank face, reiterating, "My hand hurts."
He wouldn't tell him that what he just said was all a test.
He wouldn't tell him that if he really left, he would kill him.
He wouldn't tell him that he had passed the test.
He will start to trust him and won't be so wary of him anymore.
Yin Chu Jiu was engrossed in wondering why Yue Ling's hand hurt. He was completely unaware that he had passed Yue Ling's test. Seven years of softening had finally paid off.
