Chapter 24: Three years east of the river, three years west of the river—do not bully the young and poor

~7 min read 1,264 words

Ye Ruyan was swinging her body to train.

Even a little training is still good for the body.

At that moment, she suddenly heard the Ye family's servants saying that Ye Xiuxiu was giving lessons to forty or fifty children.

Ye Ruyan immediately panicked, and even a fine sweat broke out on her forehead.

She hurriedly ran toward the small classroom.

At this moment, Ye Ruyan was anxious, with various thoughts flashing through her mind.

This matter is really too chaotic and complicated.

If we let Ye Xiuxiu continue developing like this,

If she builds good relationships with so many people, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If one day Ye Xiuxiu truly becomes a dreaded great demon lord,

then those closely related to her would all become her subordinates,

and follow her in doing evil and harming the world?

Just thinking about this, Ye Ruyan felt a chill.

Although Ye Xiuxiu will fall into the demonic path in the future,

It is because I openly launched a sneak attack on her when she was undergoing her tribulation.

But setting aside the facts,

Could it be that Ye Xiuxiu herself has no fault at all?

If she had not chosen to undergo the tribulation back then,

how could I possibly have had the chance to sneak attack her?

If I had not sneak attacked her, Ye Xiuxiu would naturally not have fallen into the demonic path because of it.

So, in short,

Ye Xiuxiu's decision to undergo the tribulation is equivalent to her being destined to become a demon,

This has nothing to do with me!

Now heaven has actually given me a precious chance to start over,

No matter what, I must think of every way to prevent this tragedy from happening.

Holding onto this firm belief,

Ye Ruyan rushed into the small classroom like a gust of wind.

Because she ran too fast and too urgently, she was even panting, her chest rising and falling continuously.

All one could see was her face full of anxiety,

She disregarded her image and shouted loudly: "You must absolutely not listen to her words! You must absolutely not listen to her!"

"Everything she says is heretical nonsense; if you believe it, you will surely learn bad things!"

"You will become a demon lord."

With Ye Ruyan's sudden loud shout,

the entire small classroom fell silent instantly.

Everyone's eyes involuntarily focused on Ye Ruyan,

filled with doubt and surprise as they looked at this child who had suddenly burst in and was emotionally agitated.

Just as both the elders and the young children were immersed in the correct version of the sage's teachings, listening entranced,

Suddenly,

a figure rushed into the room like a gust of wind,

instantly becoming the focus of everyone.

Ye Xiuxiu took a close look,

and the person turned out to be Ye Ruyan,

Second sister, you won't come to cause trouble again, will you?

Previously, every time he explained the correct version of the sage's teachings to He Pingsheng and Chen Gong Dong,

she would cause trouble,

Fortunately, my task has already been completed,

otherwise, if her interference caused failure, that would really make me furious.

However, before Ye Ruyan could speak, Chen Gong Dong couldn't wait any longer,

the nameless fire in his heart instantly flared up.

Chen Gong Dong glared angrily and shouted at Ye Ruyan:

"Ye Ruyan, why do you always like to cause trouble?"

"Earlier, when Sister Xiuxiu was giving me and the teacher a lesson, you barged in and disrupted the situation;"

"And now, with many listeners fully focused on listening, you actually repeat your old tricks and continue to misbehave here!"

"This is really too rude and insolent!"

This scolding was like a heavy hammer striking hard at Ye Ruyan's heart,

causing her whole person to instantly become dazed like a wooden chicken.

"I cause trouble?"

Clearly, it is Ye Xiuxiu who is instilling those heretical ideas into the many people present,

yet they not only do not blame her,

but instead point the finger at me—what kind of reasoning is that?

Thinking of this, Ye Ruyan felt a surge of grievance with nowhere to vent.

I came here this time purely out of good intentions, fearing that these people would later be misled by Ye Xiuxiu's bewitching and go astray,

Then they would strike Ye Xiuxiu with a killing blow.

However, my good deed has now been twisted into malicious meddling,

and she even received such harsh reproach, which truly made her heart turn cold.

What surprised Ye Ruyan even more was that,

According to her memory,

in her previous life, the relationship between Chen Gong Dong and Ye Xiuxiu seemed not harmonious,

how has it now become so intimate and inseparable,

that Chen Gong Dong willingly became Ye Xiuxiu's lackey?

"I also come now to tell you a bit of correct sage's words,"

"Do you know what is meant by 'a gentleman who is not solemn lacks authority'?"

Chen Gong Dong stood ramrod straight,

with a solemn face, he said to the group of children sitting around him.

His bearing,

really had a touch of the dignity of a teacher giving a lesson.

"What this means is,"

"If a gentleman does not strike heavily, he cannot establish authority."

Only saw Chen Gong Dong suddenly flash his body,

like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, he lunged fiercely at Ye Ruyan.

The four-year-old's fists, the size of fists, pounded repeatedly on Ye Ruyan's body.

Ye Ruyan was beaten to the point of unbearable pain,

and let out a series of squeaky cries, sounding utterly miserable.

At this moment, Ye Ruyan's heart was already filled with burning anger and indignant resentment.

Consider that Ye Ruyan is, after all, a dignified reborn person,

destined to become the absolute protagonist of the story,

yet now she is being pressed down and beaten like this—what kind of situation is this!

However,

despite being full of grievance and anger,

Ye Ruyan also knows well that her current strength is too weak,

no matter how her body struggles,

she simply cannot contend with Chen Gong Dong, that brute.

Thus, she could only grit her teeth and silently vow in her heart,

I must grow to six years old as quickly as possible!

Because once she reaches six years old,

she can begin cultivating the supreme technique recorded deep in her mind,

"Heaven-Earth Immortal Secret"

It is said that this mysterious technique was transmitted down from the immortal realm,

once cultivated to the stage of great accomplishment,

one can obtain astonishing power sufficient to oppose this heaven and earth.

"Three years east of the river, three years west of the river, do not bully a poor young girl!"

The humiliation suffered today will surely be repaid double in the future!

"Ruyan! Ruyan!"

At this moment,

Ye Ruyan's father Ye Qingping discovered that his daughter was being beaten,

anxiously, he hurried forward, covering three steps in two strides,

expending great effort, he finally managed to forcibly separate Ye Ruyan and Chen Gong Dong.

Mainly because both children are still young,

a little carelessness could easily cause injury,

so one must be very careful.

Ye Xiuxiu is his daughter, and Ye Ruyan is likewise his daughter.

"Father!"

Accompanied by a sobbing cry,

only seen a petite figure, like a bird flying into the forest, lunging into Ye Qingping's embrace.

Ye Ruyan tightly embraced Ye Qingping,

as if she had found a sheltered harbor,

she began to sob softly:

"Wuu… Father, I just arrived,

"Brother Gong Dong hit me without hesitation."
