Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
During the entire day, Ye Sheng and the other students continued to practice the Bodybuilding Technique. Unfortunately, not a single one of them succeeded in mastering it.
That night, Ye Sheng returned to his room. Zhou iren hadn’t co back yet, so Ye Sheng was all by himself in this large space. He closed his eyes and started inspecting his dantian, Earth.
He had passed on the Bodybuilding Technique to them in the morning, and now, when he took a look, he realized that five of them had already mastered the first move: the calf-training exercise.
Ye Sheng was speechless. He just felt terribly ashad. These Earthlings were smarter than he was.
He observed the movents, faces, and mannerisms of these five people who had mastered the technique, and he started to understand the exercise a little bit more.
Ye Sheng quietly followed their steps and began to train himself.
His calf muscles started to tremble and shake very slightly. It wasn’t visible from the outside, and it looked like nothing was moving, but beneath the skin, every single muscle was shaking.
He had gained a little bit of control now.
After so ti, Ye Sheng went one step further and made his thigh shake as well. One leg had finally mastered this exercise.
With the help of the Earthlings, Ye Sheng had finally mastered the first step of the Bodybuilding Technique.
Even though evidently he wasn’t as gifted as the Earthlings, his observation skills were excellent. While he had been practicing in class earlier, he wasn’t able to observe Zi Yuantian closely, but now he could watch the Earthlings closely since they couldn’t see him anyway.
After he’d finished practicing the first move, Ye Sheng felt as if this leg seed a lot lighter than it had before. Every ti he took a step forward, his muscles were trembling.
Ye Sheng continued to practice under the moonlight without any distractions, until Zhou iren finally ca back.
He was in a purple robe and looked very handso. He looked at Ye Sheng and raised his eyebrows. “Working so hard? You’re even practicing at night?”
Ye Sheng didn’t reply and treated his words as rely wind blowing past his ears.
Zhou iren saw that Ye Sheng was ignoring him and just smiled faintly without getting angry. He said, “One of your relatives has co to look for you.”
Ye Sheng stopped his movents and straightened up slowly. He looked at Zhou iren, puzzled.
His relative?
Who was it?
Zhou iren stretched his arm out to point at soone standing beneath a Japanese pagoda tree not too far away from them.
This person was shrouded in the shadow of the tree, so Ye Sheng couldn’t see who it was. He walked over feeling confused.
Zhou iren stood where he was and just watched what was going on quietly.
As he got closer, Ye Sheng could see the face of the person who had co, and a na appeared in his mind.
Ye Han!
This was Lord Ye’s fourth child. His mother had passed away when he was very young, and First Madam didn’t like him either. After Hu i married Lord Ye, Hu i decided to get Ye Han on her side. When she found out that he was rather gifted in martial arts, Hu i continued to groom him.
Ye Sheng stopped where he stood and didn’t go any closer.
Since this was soone on Hu i’s team, Ye Sheng didn’t want to have anything to do with him. Besides, this Fourth Brother had never been kind to him. He had hit and scolded him in the past, and his attitude toward Ye Sheng had been wicked.
“Why, have you forgotten all your manners? Don’t you see your Fourth Brother is here?” ca a shout. Ye Han walked out from under the tree since it beca evident that Ye Sheng wasn’t going to go any nearer to him.
His face was icy, and he was a tall, large man. A tough and aggressive aura emanated from his body. He looked similar to Ye Sheng, but he had a wilder, rougher look. Ye Sheng had a much gentler deanor, since he had inherited his mother’s incomparable beauty.
Ye Sheng frowned and said, “Why are you looking for ?”
Ye Han laughed coldly and replied, “You’re really an ungrateful brat. We’ve brought you up, and you won’t even greet your Fourth Brother anymore. Just because you’ve left the manor, you think you’re really sothing now?”
Ye Sheng’s expression turned cold now also. His face looked as if it was covered by frost. His gaze beca icy, and he said, “Don’t tell you’re so bored that you’ve co to make trouble for late at night?”
Ye Han folded his arms and sneered disdainfully, “You’re not worth my trouble. You’re 16, but you’re only at Acquired Level Third Stage. You’re just a little better than a good-for-nothing. I don’t want to see you at all.”
“Then you can leave,” said Ye Sheng coldly.
“Before leaving, I want you to kneel down and let beat you up,” said Ye Han. He said these words very flippantly, as if he were just asking Ye Sheng to have a al or drinks with him.
This was clearly intended to show his disregard for Ye Sheng.
“Is your head damaged or sothing?” snorted Ye Sheng. “You are no different from . We are both children who are unloved by the family. Don’t think that you’re very high and mighty. You are my Fourth Brother only because we are biologically related, but you’re extrely disgusting to .”
“Excellent, I think the sa way about you. I’m very disgusted to have a piece of trash as a younger brother. If Second Madam hadn’t told to teach you a good lesson, I wouldn’t have cared about you at all,” said Ye Han with a threatening smile.
Ye Sheng got it now. So Hu i was the one behind this.
“Oh, my, I nearly forgot. You’ve always been Hu i’s little doggie who barks any ti she calls. If she throws you a bone, you beco beside yourself with joy,” said Ye Sheng sarcastically.
“Are you asking to get killed!” A murderous look flashed in Ye Han’s eyes as his fury rose.
“Did I say sothing wrong?” Ye Sheng snorted. “Everybody in Ye Manor knows that Hu i is the one who has given you the confidence to be so arrogant. You wish you could just kneel on the floor and lick Hu i’s shoes every day. There’s even a rumor within the household that you have a crush on her too. You’re the child of a maid, but you’ve fallen in love with your own father’s second wife. Is that why Hu i chased you out of Ye Manor?”
This was an old mory that had suddenly appeared in Ye Sheng’s mind.
At the ti of this incident, Eldest Sister hadn’t married the emperor yet, and Ye Han was still living in Ye Manor. He followed Hu i around all the ti, and since Hu i was both extrely charming and alluring, she was well able to capture lots of n’s hearts. On top of that, she had lent the young Ye Han a helping hand, so Ye Han loved following Hu i around all the ti and was actually more reliant on her than Ye Qing was.
But Ye Han was still quite young then and didn’t know how to hide his own emotions at all. The older folks in the manor noticed his behavior and felt that it was a bad sign. If they let this go on, a scandal could arise in the household.
So eventually Ye Han was chased out of the manor by Hu i. He was given so of Lord Ye’s property to own and manage, so that he could live independently.
After Ye Han left, the rumors in the manor died down. Ye Sheng couldn’t rember if anyone had ever said anything more about this incident. If he hadn’t seen Ye Han today, he wouldn’t even have rembered who he was.
Ye Han’s expression got terrifyingly dark. He glared at Ye Sheng with fire spewing from his eyes. “How dare you insult Second Madam! It looks like I’m going to have to use my authority as your older brother to teach this ill-disciplined younger brother of mine a lesson.”
PAK!
A slap ca Ye Sheng’s way. Ye Han was extrely quick and was way faster than Li Ying had been earlier in the day. Ye Han was at Acquired Level Seventh Stage, so even Ye Sheng had trouble dodging this slap.
Ye Han’s expression was icy and his eyes were spewing fire as he glared extrely aggressively at Ye Sheng. He couldn’t wait to chop Ye Sheng into pieces.
“Add on the strength of 30 people,” Ye Sheng gave a low shout as his body retreated at high speed, so he managed to avoid this slap.
“I haven’t seen you in a few years, and a good-for-nothing like you has actually gotten this capable?” asked Ye Han in surprise.
“It’s only been a few years. I’m quite surprised that you’re here at Jixia Academy. Don’t tell that hussy Hu i helped you get in here? Looks like you two are still secretly in contact, huh? You’re such a tough, aggressive guy, I guess she can’t bear to let you go.” Ye Sheng provoked Ye Han right back.
“You’re asking to die!” Ye Han flew into a rage and gave a low shout. He charged toward Ye Sheng like a rhinoceros and was ready to smash himself into him.
DONG! DONG! DONG!
The ground was shaking, and the soil flew off in all directions.
Ye Sheng brought one arm down with the added strength of 30 people to strike Ye Han. It caused a muffled sound to echo all around him. Ye Sheng’s wrist felt numb, and he quickly retreated after that hit.
Ye Han’s body shuddered as his advancing steps were blocked, and he stopped dead. His back was red and swollen from Ye Sheng’s hit.
“You could actually block my attack?” Ye Han stared at Ye Sheng in great shock.
