CHAPTER 59: CHAPTER 52: MARTIAL ARTS MASTER

The wind was broken!

This punch could probably smash through five bricks!

Powerful enough to paralyze half a person’s body or even kill!

Sui Yi slightly pursed her lips, just as dread weighed heavily on Ah A’s heart!

She raised her palm.

Palm to palm!

Bang!!!

In that instant, Sui Yi felt a wave of force vibrating from the other’s palm!

Inner Strength, he had Inner Strength...

Reflexively, she channeled the Inner Strength within her body... concentrating it in her palm!

Bang!!!

The wind between them vibrated for a moment, and the water beneath their feet rippled strangely to either side...

The young man’s complexion changed, his body retreating uncontrollably backward in flight!!

With a splash, cutting through the water, three meters away!

He plunged into the much deeper creek water!

Water submerged his lower half, the young man’s face turned pale, he raised a hand to wipe the blood trickling from his mouth.

This girl also had Inner Strength!

And it was much stronger than his!

His expression was no longer mocking, only profound shock!

The creek water babbled, with ripples in the water continuing endlessly, creating a sound that seemed silent yet audible.

Reeds by the bank danced in the wind, rustling softly.

Dead silence on both shores.

Sui Yi’s feet were still in the shallows, she looked down at the youth in the water, disregarding the others who were in extreme shock.

After a while, the young man stared at her, "Aren’t you afraid for your uncle..."

He was not a very straightforward person, but as long as there was a chance, he wouldn’t give up.

Sui Yi’s eyebrows raised slightly, "As long as I make a phone call, he’ll be done for, right?"

"Naturally," the young man forced a smile.

Then, he saw Sui Yi taking out her phone to dial a number...

The villagers were dumbfounded... Wang Pu pinched his face and asked, "Sister Sui Yi, what are you..."

"Calling the police..."

"Ah!"

Sui Yi had already dialed the number, her fine and attractive eyebrows slightly raised, she looked at the young man coolly, "You can pin all the major crimes on him, right... A decade or two in prison..."

She paused and frowned, "Or, kill him..."

The young man was utterly astonished, and even the normally ferocious Monkey and others were shaken!

Damn, was this girl joking?

But Sui Yi was never one to joke.

From her expression and aura, it was clear she wasn’t joking this time.

The village elders fell silent, the situation was beyond their control...

"If I remember correctly, he is your uncle..."

Sui Yi glanced at him, "Didn’t you check before coming here... My surname is Sui, while his is Ye."

There was a hint of playfulness.

"To me, he’s a nuisance, and it’s better to deal with nuisances," she said, her voice cool and soft but heavy with inscrutable coldness.

Ah A suddenly realized, so Sui Yi wasn’t a member of this family? What about the grandma...

The young man realized he had made a misstep, having not conducted thorough background checks, and hadn’t expected that Sui Yi had no blood relation to Ye Zhang, especially since he had used this to threaten her earlier, no wonder she had mocked him.

However, he was not the type to easily admit defeat, perhaps, the girl was using reverse psychology on him.

"Heh, really... But if something happens to him, your grandma will also be..."

This was the second threat.

Wading out of the shallow water, Sui Yi reached the bank and said, "She won’t know... She won’t learn anything about Ye Zhang. With me here, the rest of her life will be worry-free,"

Turning her head, her gaze towards the young man and the others had a playful edge, "I’m certain of that..."

Her confidence and calm unnerved Monkey and his group, feeling as if they were helplessly under another’s knife.

"No matter what Ye Zhang promised, don’t touch that ancestral grave. It would upset my grandmother. I can’t allow that to happen; I hope you understand," Sui Yi concluded, and then fell silent.

The young man had nothing to say.

In terms of force, they couldn’t win; in terms of reasoning, she was utterly convincing, and it seemed, she also had some capable background.

This was troublesome.

The strong dragon struggles against the local snake; they were in a tight spot indeed.

"Heh, I thought it would be a simple task..." The young man laughed, getting up from the water and looking deeply at Sui Yi, "I never expected someone like Miss Sui to come from that kind of family... Today has been quite eye-opening."

His attitude had changed.

She was stronger than him, and continued contempt would be his own ignorance.

Moreover, she seemed to be someone from their circle, and he needed to maintain the proper etiquette.

Ah A frowned and gave the man a glance. These people seemed quite peculiar, and in Nanxun Town, there surely weren’t such individuals.

Even in Jiangnan District, they were rare.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up his phone and made a call.

Ask Elder Lin!

At that moment, the young man stood aside on the phone, glancing over at Ah A as well.

He was seeking advice on the next step to take, obviously answering to someone higher up.

Monkey and the others had quieted down too, treating the villagers with much more courtesy.

The villagers didn’t want to stir up more trouble either. The village head and a few others had already started to pull people away to head back. They needed to discuss countermeasures. These people were definitely not easy to dismiss.

"Thank goodness for Sui Yi..."

"But Sui Yi is really ruthless, that Ye Zhang kid is screwed..."

"That beast-like thing deserves to die, if I were Sui Yi, I’d kill him too, damn it, what kind of person is he!"

"Stop it, after all, this is the Ye family’s internal matter..."

Clearly, in this village, Ye Zhang belonged to the category of rats and cockroaches.

It seemed the villagers didn’t find Sui Yi’s iron-blooded ruthlessness excessive.

Well, in fact, deep down, some of the adults in the village felt that this young girl, Sui Yi, was quite extraordinary.

--------

As for Zhang Yang and his three friends, they were purely shell-shocked, huddling to one side and discussing in hushed tones.

For them, who had previously been immersed in books, the day’s events were pure fantasy!

"Wang Pu, Wang Pu, that... Sister Sui Yi of yours, is she..."

"A martial arts master!"

"No, I don’t know..."

"She’s not from your village?"

"Uh, she came back with Grandma Ye later... not from our village..."

"She’s amazing, has she trained in a martial arts school?"

"Uh, probably..."

Originally, Ah A was making a call on the side when suddenly he saw Zhang Yang and Wang Pu staring blankly at something.

Glancing sidelong, Ah A caught sight of Sui Yi standing alone by the creek a bit further away, leaning against a large, somewhat secluded rock. From this angle, one could see her bending slightly to slip off her shoes and socks and then roll up the legs of her wet pants.

She had fallen into the water before and after the battle, her shoes and the lower parts of her clothes had indeed gotten wet.

The dampness felt uncomfortable and could lead to catching a cold.

If it were someone else, they would simply take off their shoes and pull up their pants; she was considered more ladylike to find a more remote spot...

Because of the distance, the few of them who had just the right angle couldn’t see the full picture, but they felt the sight was charming from the details they could make out.

Ah A, proud of his good eyesight, squinted at the scene, fixating on a segment of her fair, slender neck and the soft black strands of hair falling lightly over her back, fluttering like thin veils in the breeze. One couldn’t help wondering what it would look like if one were to tease them apart...

His hands itched inexplicably.

Feeling flustered, he quickly averted his gaze, only to see Sui Yi standing up, carrying her shoes and socks to one side and taking off her jacket that was mostly wet. Wearing a cream-colored English-style blouse, she stepped onto the white stones by the rock, her back to them. Her phone rang, she glanced at the number, and her eyes flashed.

Was Elder Tang looking for her?

As Sui Yi made her call, from behind, her calves looked very straight and slim, akin to perfectly carved creamy jade, snow-white, smooth, enticing, and throat-parchingly desirable.

Inexplicably, he was reminded of the White Jade Purifying Moon Custard Elder Lin had once taken him to eat at a big restaurant in the city, snow-white and velvety, intoxicatingly delicious.

But the feeling at the moment trumped that past experience.

Ah A was so mesmerized that Elder Lin on the phone had to call his name several times...

"Kid, kid, are you dead?"

"Answer me!"

"Dammit! Ah A!"

"Ah, Elder Lin..."

"Did you just fall into a toilet, or did you see something...?"

"White Jade Purifying Moon Custard"

"What? There’s White Jade Purifying Moon Custard in the toilet?"

"...."

On the other side, the young man clutching his phone also had his gaze drift onto Sui Yi, lingering thoughtfully.

The voice on the phone said, "Oh? Such a person exists? A girl of seventeen or eighteen, huh, interesting."

"What’s her name?"

"...Sui Yi"

----------

On this end, Sui Yi listened to Elder Tang on the phone.

"Sui Yi, that kid Lin Quan has been reinstated, and even people from the city have come down... their attitude seems more favorable to our side than we expected, it’s a bit strange... Normally, the deputy mayor’s clique doesn’t have this much influence..."

"Can’t Elder Tang consider it a reflection of the higher-ups’ clear politics rather than always dwelling on such dark thoughts?" Sui Yi teased with a smirk,

"Ha, you cheeky girl. Right, Yu Hang came looking for you today... failing to find you, he came to whine to me... said his old man gave him a good scolding at home, told him he’s no match for you ~~~ haha, that Yu Quan, always tough on the outside, who knows how much he actually envies his old man..."

Sui Yi found it hard to grasp the main point of the old man’s ramblings until he added, "By the way he’s acting, he still wants you for a daughter-in-law! Dream on ~~~"

Well, was that the focus? Sui Yi struggled to understand such ’stuffy’ humor from an elderly man and could only say, "Elder Tang, I’ve got another call coming in... I’ve got to go."

"Hey, hey, don’t give me that runaround you give Mr. Yi... Hey, hey..."

Dammit, she actually hung up! Elder Tang cursed on the other side.

Meanwhile, Sui Yi frowned at the unfamiliar number. Who was it?

"Hello..."

"It’s me..."

"You are...?"

"...your signal should be back to normal now, right?"

Sui Yi was caught off guard. Yi Chilian? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com) with recommendation tickets or monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
