Chapter 63

Seeing Qin Aodong being stubborn, Ye Chen shook his head and gave a disdainful sneer, "You can't even tell the difference between a gourd and a jade plug? There is an old saying, 'If gold and jade are in the nine orifices, the dead will be immortal.' You should at least know that, right?"

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

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

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

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

"Idiot!"

Ye Chen sneered, "Nine-Orifice Jade is the jade plug used by the dead to block their nine orifices. The ears, nose, mouth, and eyes make seven, plus the reproductive and excretory orifices, that makes nine."

"Dead people!!" Qin Aodong opened his mouth wide, 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 what the dead used to plug their excretory orifice, which is the anus. You actually wore it around your neck; didn't you think it smelled?"

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 stuffed in that place!

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

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

Doesn't that mean he indirectly ate the excrement of an ancient person?

"Ugh!"

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.

Some even gloated, ridiculing Qin Aodong for being blind and spending a huge fortune to buy such an ominous thing.

Ye Chen said coldly, "Also, this jade piece has been soaked in corpse energy for a long time and has absorbed enough malevolent energy. It is no longer a piece of jade that turns bad luck into good, but a highly ominous object! If you keep wearing it, you will surely die an unnatural death within a year."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd around Qin Aodong immediately backed away, fearing they would be contaminated by the malevolent energy on him.

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

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

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

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 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 sturdy Hummer that day, his life would have been over long ago.

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

Cold sweat broke out all over Qin Aodong's body. He ripped the jade piece off his neck and threw it far away.

The crowd retreated in a hurry, fearing they would bring trouble upon themselves.

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

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

This person knew too much; could he have been 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 Aodong thought Ye Chen wanted to run away and immediately roared, "Grab him! Daring to 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 acted immediately, rushing up to block Ye Chen's path.

Two other bodyguards strode toward Xiao Churan's father, Xiao Changkun, and reached out to grab him with a menacing look.

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

Just as the bodyguards were about to grab Xiao Changkun, Ye Chen's eyes turned cold. He kicked away the strong man blocking his path, rushed to Xiao Changkun's side in two or three steps, and punched the bodyguard in the face.

"Bang!"

The bodyguard was just about to grab Xiao Changkun when he was caught off guard by a punch to the face. Blood sprayed from his nose, and he retreated repeatedly while clutching his face.

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

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

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

"Bang!"

The bodyguard with the stun baton hadn't even reacted before he was thrown to the ground with a shoulder throw. He grimaced in pain and couldn't climb up for a long time.

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

He was now thankful that he hadn't provoked Ye Chen into a rage earlier; otherwise, after that shoulder throw, all his bones would have been shattered.

Xiao Changkun came back 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 Churan is at work, I get bored at home and watch 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 power was several times higher than usual.

It seems this should be the effect of the "Nine Profound Heaven Scripture."

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

A wave of exclamation erupted from the crowd.

Such powerful 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-taught talent was simply astonishing!

"Learned from the TV!" Zhang Ermao's eyes were wide open. Such powerful skills actually came from watching TV. He quickly bowed to Ye Chen and said with a fawning smile, "Big Brother, may I ask which channel you watch? I want to learn too."

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