Chapter 63

Seeing Qin Qin Aodong's stubbornness, Ye Chen shook his head and gave a disdainful sneer: "You can't even tell the difference between a gourd and a jade plug? You should at least know the ancient saying, 'If gold and jade are in the nine orifices, the dead will remain immortal,' right?"

"What gold and jade, what dead people?" Qin Qin Aodong was completely confused.

Ye Chen looked at him with an expression of "you are beyond saving," shook his head, and said: "You don't even know this? You must have at least heard of the Nine Orifice Jade, right?"

"What Nine Orifice Jade?" Qin Qin Aodong was even more bewildered, staring blankly at Ye Chen.

Although Qin Qin Aodong liked antiques, he had no intention of studying them at all; he just bought whatever others said was good, and then went out to show off.

"Fool!"

Ye Chen sneered: "Nine Orifice Jade refers to the jade plugs used by the dead to block their nine orifices. The ears, nose, mouth, and eyes make seven, plus the reproductive and excretory orifices, making a total of nine."

"Dead people!!" Qin Qin Aodong's mouth hung wide open, his eyes bulging round.

He took an incredulous look at the jade hanging around his neck, and the hair on his back stood up instantly.

This damn thing came from a dead person?

Ye Chen mocked: "It seems you really don't understand. The one in your hand is a plug used by the dead for their excretory orifice—in other words, the anus. You actually wore it around your neck; didn't you feel it stank?"

Qin Qin Aodong could no longer speak. Staring at the jade gourd in his hand, a sudden, intense feeling of nausea surged up.

This jade gourd was actually plugged into that place!

And he had actually treated it as a lucky charm and worn it around his neck for three years...

What was most infuriating was that because he liked this thing so much, he often held it in his mouth to play with it...

Doesn't this mean he was indirectly eating the excrement of an ancient person?

"Ugh!"

Qin Qin Aodong could no longer hold it back; he bent over and began to retch.

The crowd that had been jostling to watch now cast mocking glances at him one after another.

Others gloated, ridiculing Qin Qin Aodong for being blind and spending a fortune to buy such an unlucky item.

Ye Chen said coldly: "And there's more. This jade piece has been soaked in corpse aura for a long time and has absorbed plenty of malevolent energy. It is no longer a jade piece that turns bad luck into good, but a highly ominous object! If you keep wearing it, you will definitely die an unnatural death within a year."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd around Qin Qin Aodong immediately scattered with a "whoosh," afraid of being contaminated by the malevolent aura on him.

Zhang Zhang Ermao, who was standing next to Qin Qin Aodong, also scrambled to the very edge.

Although he was a half-baked amateur who usually made a living by swindling and bluffing, he had dealt with grave robbers before and knew that Ye Chen's words were not groundless!

Qin Qin Aodong was also terrified, looking up blankly at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's expression was cold as he snorted: "Has your luck been bad this year? Have you had any bloody disasters like a car accident?"

Qin Qin Aodong stared blankly at Ye Chen, completely stunned.

His luck had indeed been bad this year; he had just had a car accident at the beginning of the year. If he hadn't been driving a crash-resistant Hummer that day, his little life would have been over long ago.

However, the driver had died on the spot, while he had broken two ribs and stayed in the hospital for half a month before returning home.

Qin Qin Aodong broke out in a cold sweat, ripped the jade piece off his neck, and threw it far away with a wave of his hand.

The crowd hurriedly retreated, afraid of bringing trouble upon themselves.

Seeing Qin Qin Aodong's guilty appearance, Ye Chen sneered in his heart. If he hadn't warned him today, Qin Qin Aodong would surely have died before the year was out if he had kept wearing it.

"Who exactly are you!" Qin Qin Aodong gritted his teeth and glared at Ye Chen.

This person knew too much; could he be someone sent by an enemy?

"I am someone you cannot afford to provoke."

Ye Chen said coldly and turned to leave.

Seeing the other party about to leave, Qin Qin Aodong thought Ye Chen wanted to run away and immediately roared: "Grab him! Daring to come and pick a fight with me—this kid must have someone behind him pulling the strings!"

"Cannot afford to provoke? Heh, in the entire Jin Ling City, there is no one I, Young Master Qin, cannot afford to provoke!"

"Detain him, break his legs, and find out who exactly dares to cause trouble for my Qin family."

He was convinced that Ye Chen was sent by a business rival; otherwise, how could he know so clearly about his car accident?

Several bodyguards immediately took action, rushing up to block Ye Chen's path.

Two other bodyguards strode toward Xiao Xiao Changkun, reaching out to grab him with a fierce and menacing look.

Xiao Xiao Changkun was terrified; he hadn't expected that coming out to hunt for antiques would lead to such trouble.

Just as the bodyguards were about to grab Xiao Xiao Changkun, Ye Chen's eyes turned cold. He kicked away the burly man blocking his path, rushed to Xiao Xiao Changkun's side in a few steps, and smashed a fist directly into the bodyguard's face.

"Bang!"

The bodyguard was just about to grab Xiao Xiao Changkun when he was caught off guard by a punch to the face. Nosebleeds sprayed everywhere, and he clutched his face, retreating repeatedly.

Seeing Ye Chen make a move, the other bodyguard hurriedly took out a stun baton and struck fiercely at Ye Chen.

"Ah!" Xiao Xiao Changkun screamed in terror, "Ye Chen, hurry and dodge!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Chen agilely swayed his body, dodging the flying baton, and backhanded the bodyguard's left wrist, applying a little force.

"Bang!"

Before the bodyguard with the stun baton could react, he was thrown to the ground with a shoulder throw, grimacing in pain and unable to crawl up for a long time.

Xiao Xiao Changkun was left speechless, almost failing to recognize that the young man standing before him was his own son-in-law.

How could his fighting skills be so good?

Ye Chen bent down, picked up the stun baton from the ground, weighed it in his hand, and said: "Who's next? The rest of you, come together."

The crowd was silent, their eyes fixed on Ye Chen.

Zhang Zhang Ermao was also dumbfounded, staring at Ye Chen and murmuring: "Big Brother, you're amazing!"

He was now thankful that he hadn't provoked Ye Chen's anger earlier; otherwise, after one such shoulder throw, all his bones would have been rattled apart.

Xiao Xiao Changkun came to his senses and asked in astonishment from behind Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, you... where did you learn this kung fu?"

"This?..." Ye Chen smiled and said: "Dad, when Xiao Churan is at work, I'm bored at home watching TV. Isn't there that fighting program on TV every morning? I learned it by following the TV."

In fact, Ye Chen had practiced Wing Chun since he was a child, and it was the most authentic Wing Chun—after all, the famous Ip Man was a descendant of a branch of the Ye family!

However, to hide his identity, he naturally couldn't tell his father-in-law.

Moreover, what surprised even Ye Chen himself was that his current strength seemed to have improved quite a bit!

His combat effectiveness was several times higher than usual.

It seems this must be the effect of the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra."

And that pebble filled with spiritual energy from earlier—a bit of spiritual energy entered his body, and he felt his entire physical fitness improve significantly all at once!

A gasp of amazement rose from the crowd.

Such powerful fighting skills, even fiercer than the martial arts masters in the Jin Ling City martial arts halls, and he actually learned them by watching TV!!

This self-learning talent is simply astonishing!

"Learned from TV!" Zhang Zhang Ermao's eyes were wide open. Such powerful skills, and he actually got them from watching TV? He hurriedly bowed and smirked at Ye Chen: "Big Brother, may I ask which channel you watch? I want to learn too."

Ye Chen looked at Zhang Zhang Ermao and said indifferently: "CCTV Sports Channel, 'Jianghu Wind'!"
