307 The Magnificent Slaps
After quite a stir, the three guys were lying on the floor whining.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Hu Yifei overlooked the scene, her eyes carrying a cold gleam of a queen. âYou scumbags. If I meet you again in the future, Iâll make you learn why the flowers are red!â
The three guys scrambled to their feet and looked at Hu Yifei in terror. âI dare you to wait here. The people from our sports academy wonât be pushed around!â
With that, they immediately ran outwards.
âWahhh, Sister Yifei is awesome! Teach me Issen! Teach me Issen! That way I can discipline Lu Xiaobu in the future!â Chen Meijia hugged around Hu Yifeiâs thigh excitedly.
âYou? Forget Issen[1], even with 10 flashes you canât defeat my Buddhaâs palm!â Lu Xiaobu refuted.
Chen Chichi neared up to Ye Lingchenâs ears, whispering fearfully, âYifei learned Taekwondo, and sheâs the only female black belt amongst them! Sheâs extremely violent, dominating with fear over our entire class. Sheâs not someone the average person should cross.â
âChen Chichi, are you gossiping about me in front of Mr. Ye?!â Chen Chichi was scared motionless as she saw Hu Yifei with gritted teeth and a cold gleam in her eyes.
âRight then, the restaurant manager ran over with a fearful expression, reminding them, âGuys, you should leave quickly. Those three are specially recruited by the sports academy. They all have strong physiques. These people are petty and insolent around this area. They will definitely call for backup.â
The sports academy had a bad reputation around this area. As long as they did not cause too many problems, even if a fight were to break out, they would only be given a slap on the wrist due to their special status. Furthermore, they were extremely united. Offending one would be similar to poking the hornetâs nest. All those around the area would come over for revenge.
âHehe, am I afraid of them?â Hu Yifei scoffed. Her expression then changed instantly to a serious one. âHowever, I dislike fighting. Letâs make a move.â
âToo late,â Ye Lingchen stated.
âWhatâs too late?â The group was caught off guard.
They could hear a shout coming from outside. âWith a cloud-piercing arrow, I call forth the sports academy[2]!â
Following that was a rumbling sound. A group of twenty ran wildly into the restaurant. They all wore a standardized black singlet, each filled with an overwhelming presence.
âF*ck! The sports academy is at it again?â
âLook at that commotion, it must be someone offending the sports academy. This is bad.â
âLetâs go, thereâs drama to watch.â
The pedestrians were in awe, having their own discussions but none came forward to stop them.
At the lead was a big young man sporting a crew cut. He demanded coldly, âWho dares hurt my people from the sports academy?!â
They swept a glance around, immediately locking onto Ye Lingchenâs table.
âSister Yifei, can you use your Issen?â Lin Wanyu gave Hu Yifei a pleading look as she whispered.
âThatâs twenty people. Techniques are useless now. Of the thirty-six stratagems, escape it the best!â Hu Yifei responded in a low voice.
âBro, youâve got the wrong person. The person earlier is my older sister, and Iâm the younger sister,â Chen Meijia said weakly with a bitter face.
âAh, right! Weâre also younger sisters.â
âWeâre the younger brothers!â Chen Chichi and Lu Xiaobu answered together.
The crew cut guy scoffed, his gaze loathsome. âDo you think Iâm stupid? Youâve hurt my men. How do you plan to settle this?â
âHow do you think we should settle this?â Ye Lingchen interjected with a smile right at that moment.
âEither these three pretties pick a boyfriend from among us, then weâll be considered family, or you can pay me doctor fees of RMB100,000. If not, none of you will be leaving this place!â announced the crew cut guy coldly.
Behind him, the groupâs eyes were filled with pervertedness. From the moment they entered the door, their gaze had never left the Chen Meijia trio. They were just too pretty. No wonder the three guys from earlier came to harass them. Their taste was spot on.
âWait a moment and let us consider this,â Ye Lingchen replied.
Several people shifted their gaze onto Ye Linghcen. That was just too cowardly.
The crew cut guy looked at them proudly, as though having them under his grasp.
However, Ye Lingchen slowly took out a notebook from his pocket and started reading. Everyone turned curious and looked closer. They could barely make the line âHow to negotiate with moronsâ written on it.
âAre you done considering?â the crew cut guy asked impatiently.
âJust a moment, the content here is a little complicated,â Ye Lingchen replied calmly, then took out another notebook. The crew cut guy frowned and checked it out, just to see it labeled âHow to negotiate with morons, vol.2â.
âYou dare toy with me?â The crew cut guyâs expression turned ugly immediately.
With that, he raised his hand and grabbed at Ye Lingchen.
âBrother Ye, lookout!â Lu Xiaobu and Chenchichi were already getting up.
However, that hand only managed to stretch halfway and did not move forward another inch. Ye Lingchen made a casual throw, and the crew cut guy flew away immediately.
âF*ck! You dare retaliate? Brothers, get him!â
The crew cut guy shouted, and twenty men immediately surrounded them.
Chen Chichi and the gang prepared to get up but were instead signaled to stop by Ye Lingchenâs gaze. After that, he walked forward alone.
Looking at Ye Lingchenâs back, they backed off slightly.
âTwerp, donât you know what place is this? You dare to play the hero?!â The crew cut guy stood up, his expression ugly. âNow Iâll add another condition. Kneel and beg for mercy, or Iâll have you leave here lying down!â
âKneel and beg for mercy?â Ye Lingchen laughed. âThatâs a good idea!â
With that, he placed his hand on the crew cut guyâs shoulder and pressed down forcefully!
The crew cut guy felt an overwhelming force coming through. His legs trembled and fell to the ground with a thud.
âI hate being disrupted during my meal,â Ye Lingchen said softly. That move stunned everyone at the scene.
Hu Yifei and the gang exchanged glances and could see the amazement in each otherâs eyes.
âLetâs get him together!â shouted the group from the sports academy as they all rushed up at Ye Lingchen.
âTaste my 10 Dragon Subduing Slaps[3]!â
Ye Lingchenâs face turned serious and raised his right hand, striking as quick as lightning.
Piak piak piak!
The crowd could only see the continual hand movement, each wave accompanied a round of slapping sounds, gliding through the face of all his opponents. The next moment, all twenty of them flew off in all directions, just like the petals scattered by a fairy.
One person single-handedly slapped twenty people without giving them any chance to respond. Such quick and violent slapping technique blew everyoneâs mind. Those watching the show and those being slapped were similarly stupefied.
In their eyes, Ye Lingchenâs slaps were like a magnet. The entire group of twenty had seemingly pushed their face forward to Ye Lingchenâs palm just to be slapped.
What an awesome miracle.
Furthermore, after the slaps, all twenty men seemed to have made a line and scattered outwards like flower petals. What a sight to behold.
