Chapter 134: Courting Your Brother-In-Law?

Bam—

Yan Yu’er had recovered and was biting her lip furiously. However, before she could finish speaking, her face was hit by a deafening slap. She was stupefied.

“Mother?”

The cold and aloof young woman was the one who had slapped her. Ignoring Yan Yu’er, who was covering her face with an aggrieved look, she wiped her hand with a handkerchief and asked indifferently, “Are you sober now?”

The young woman’s tone was not that heavy, but Yan Yu’er was very frightened.

“S… Sober.”

“Have you realized your mistake?”

“I… I shouldn’t have gotten distracted during a battle or underestimated others.”

“What else?”

“I… I shouldn’t have provoked…”

Yan Yu’er had wanted to say that she shouldn’t have provoked her sister, but when she saw her mother frown, her voice became increasingly softer and she began thinking quickly. However, she didn’t know what had gone wrong after pondering it for a long time.

Her long silence had also made the young woman show obvious dissatisfaction on her face.

“You’ve been a great disappointment. Failure is nothing. Your talents are not peerless. However, you let your emotions control you after a failure. Do you really understand what I’ve taught you?!

“You’re not going to let him off. What do you plan to do? Assassinate him or get in trouble?!”

Looking at her mother’s cold face, Yan Yu’er knelt down, but her face was filled with indignance. “Mother, you’re the one who said we have to nip the enemy in the bud…”

Bam—

With another deafening slap, the other side of Yan Yu’er’s face also swelled up.

“Are you two enemies? Do you guys have a feud with each other? What feud? Tell me!”

“He… There is no feud. In the arena, winning is dependent on individual capability. I shouldn’t feel any hatred or resentment over losing.”

How could there be no hatred or resentment? It was just that Yan Yu’er didn’t dare reveal the slightest bit of the emotions in her heart.

This was what the young woman wanted to achieve. As she touched her daughter’s face and looked at her aggrieved expression, the young woman’s tone finally became gentler.

“It’s best that you figure this out.” After pausing for a moment, she said, “We can’t kill him, even if we are capable of doing that. Given his talents, that teenager will definitely be favored by the city leaders. Perhaps powerful figures have already come into contact with him. Nothing escapes the Sky Eye surveillance system in China, and we won’t be able to kill him without a trace. Even if you take action, you’ll at most cause him a little trouble. You won’t be able to nip the problem in the bud. Instead, you might attract the hatred of others. This will spell trouble for the Yan Family.”

At the moment, Yan Yu’er had already realized the problem. She was not at fault for hating and resenting the enemy, but because she could not resolve the crux of the problem by having a feud with him.

‘Sure enough, mother’s temperament has not changed.’

As Yan Yu’er muttered in her heart, that cold and aloof young woman asked again, “Now, tell me, what you will do?”

“I will go and thank him… I’ll thank him for making me understand I shouldn’t underestimate anyone and assure him our family will not take any action against him. I… I will become friends with him.

“But Mother, do we really want to do this? He and Sister are a couple.”

“I have already gotten someone to investigate. That boy named Lin Yao and your sister have only met a few times. They are not a couple. Besides, even if they were, you could still snatch him from her.”

Yan Yuer panicked when she heard the word “snatch”.

“Mother, no… Do we need to go that far? Isn’t it enough for us to maintain a cordial relationship?”

“That’s not enough. That person is very talented. He has two attributes— light and thunder—which are extremely rare. A month ago, he was not even a martial artist. One month after he awakened his talents, he’s already advanced to an intermediate martial artist. This is already considered a diamond talent. In addition to his talent, he is also very kind-hearted.”

While speaking of this, the young woman had a sneer on her face. However, she soon added, “During this period, he took time off from training every day to visit the orphanage and help the children there. This behavior has been going on for more than a month. He is talented and he has a nice personality, as well as a perfect appearance and an attractive body. He is the best potential husband for you.”

“But his taste is too poor. He goes shirtless in public. Won’t that make our family lose face?”

“One has poor taste only when one is weak. When he becomes a king, his naked upper body won’t be considered a shortcoming. He will only be described as someone with a forthright and true temperament.” After speaking, she pinched Yan Yuer’s face and said, “Besides, I’m not forcing you to accept him. What you need to do is woo him and capture his heart. The current you… doesn’t deserve him.”

The last sentence completely stunned Yan Yu’er. She had never thought that as a rich young miss of a wealthy family, she would not be worthy of a country bumpkin.

“What a joke.”

“I’m not kidding. In ancient times, our family would have been considered a rich landlord in the county. Although he is poor, he may become the top scholar by virtue of his talents. At the very least, he will also be a former second-degree candidate in the provincial examination. Who do you think is worthy of a top scholar?

“We’re not sacrificing your happiness to unite the families by marriage. He is your best choice. Go back and think about it.”

After she said that, the young woman stopped talking. When she turned around and left the lounge, Yan Yu’er remained behind in the dark, staying silent for a long time.

…

Lin Yao was unaware of the conversations others were having. He could not practice and didn’t dare move vigorously for fear that the power of light would dissipate. Lin Yao studied most of the night and finally fell asleep with a brain full of knowledge.

The next day, clouds gathered and the sky became gloomy. It was drizzling.

‘I hate rainy days.’

Lin Yao studied in his room until about 10 o’clock. When he felt that it was almost time, he put on neat attire, took an umbrella, and headed from the villa to the stadium. After arriving, Lin Yao discovered that Instructor Tu Hong had already arrived, and he greeted Lin Yao the moment he saw him.

However, someone stopped Lin Yao before he could walk over to the instructor.

Several groups of people stopped Lin Yao. All of them were wearing their respective dojo robes.

“Is this Student Lin Yao? Do you want to improve and learn diamond-level combat skills? Jifeng Dojo…”

“Yanlong Dojo has a silver warlord who’ll personally teach you…”

Lin Yao was surrounded by groups of people and found it difficult to move. After struggling for a long time, he broke free from the crowd.

Upon leaving the crowd, Lin Yao also realized something.

He had become famous, at least in Ninghai City. His maverick behavior, perfect body and appearance, and splendorous Lightning Flash had made Lin Yao stand out amongst the youths in Ninghai City.

He was even more famous than the few youths who were warlords. This would be evident if one looked at the dozens of shirtless youths in the stadium at present.

The dojos would certainly notice him. In order to win Lin Yao over, they offered to teach him at no cost, and he could also use their facilities freely.

Despite these fairly good conditions, Lin Yao was uninterested.

‘What a joke. Besides teaching me for free, I also want you guys to spend money to recruit me.’

With this thought in mind, how could Lin Yao possibly join ordinary dojos? After squeezing his way out of the crowd, Lin Yao ran over to Tu Hong.

“Instructor, stop the rest of them.”

“You don’t need to remind me… Get lost, everyone!”

After he unleashed his aura and frightened the rest of the crowd away, Instructor Tu Hong led Lin Yao to the seats occupied by No. 4 High School.

“You have finally put on your clothing. If you had done this yesterday, it would have been more peaceful today.”

“Uh, sorry, I…”

“Senior Lin Yao, here.”

Just as Instructor Tu Hong reprimanded Lin Yao and the latter nodded and apologized, a beautiful girl suddenly ran over with a blushing face and handed a note to Lin Yao. Without waiting for Lin Yao’s response, she ran back to her seat.

Following that, as Lin Yao headed to his seat, many other girls handed him notes. The presence of the ferocious-looking Instructor Tu Hong didn’t scare away the group of enthusiastic girls.

When he saw this, the expression of Tu Hong, who was still reprimanding Lin Yao, became distorted. After a long while, he finally said in a strained voice, “Relax, don’t let your legs wobble when you’re in the arena. Also, don’t provoke anyone under the age of 16. That’s illegal.”

“I won’t.”

“Just remember this: You are participating in the individual competition today, not the team competition. Take a break first and wait for the battle to begin. If you feel bored, you can watch videos of other martial artists.”

“I understand.”

After hearing what Instructor Tu Hong said, Lin Yao decided to close his eyes and rest. There were too many players in the competition, and Lin Yao didn’t know who his opponent would be. It would be too time-consuming to watch videos now.

However, before he could rest for long, he heard a cold voice filled with loathing.

“Why are you here again?”

The words were not directed at Lin Yao. Upon turning his head, Lin Yao discovered that Yan Yu’er, who had been severely injured by him yesterday, had already recovered. She was walking toward them with a smile.

Yan Yan, who had thought that the other party was there to seek revenge, stood up immediately. She believed that Lin Yao had fought with Yan Yu’er because of her.

However, Yan Yu’er ignored her this time. After arriving at the seats of No. 4 High School, Yan Yu’er sat in between Lin Yao and Yan Yan with an aggrieved expression. She then twisted her slim waist and squeezed Yan Yan away.

Of course, this didn’t work out, but Yan Yu’er didn’t care either. Occupying only a small part of the seat, she leaned against Lin Yao completely and looked at him pitifully with teary eyes. It was as if he had done something heinous.

Even Yan Yan was dumbfounded by her behavior, let alone Lin Yao.

The thought of Yan Yu’er seeking revenge had crossed his mind, but he hadn’t expected this kind of revenge.

In particular, most of Yan Yu’er’s body was leaning against Lin Yao, and her softness, which was akin to warm jade, was irresistible.

“What are you doing?”

“Waiting for you to apologize.”

“Ha ha.”

Lin Yao only had this much to say in answer to Yan Yu’er’s unreasonable behavior.

However, this sentence obviously made Yan Yu’er feel more aggrieved. She didn’t hurl verbal insults or argue. Instead, she leaned toward Lin Yao more and even hugged one of his arms, looking at Lin Yao pitifully.

She was leaning her entire body against Lin Yao.

Of course, Lin Yao didn’t dare speak his mind.

“In the arena, we are opponents. It is your fault that you were distracted during the battle. It had nothing to do with me.”

Upon seeing the aggrieved look in Yan Yu’er’s eyes, Lin Yao eventually explained. However, Yan Yu’er was not satisfied.

“You have been too harsh. You injured me so seriously, yet you didn’t come to visit me.”

“Huh?”

What somebody didn’t see couldn’t hurt them. Facing the unreasonable behavior of this woman, Lin Yao closed his eyes again and waited for the battle to start.

‘It doesn’t matter what you’re up to. I’m the one who stands to gain something now anyway.’

Lin Yao stayed calm and said nothing, but Yan Yan was fuming.

“What are you plotting?”

“I’m not plotting anything. I just feel wronged and want some consolation.”

While speaking, Yan Yu’er even tightened her hold on Lin Yao’s arm.

This action also made Yan Yan realize what she was scheming. “Seducing others is really your family’s style.”

“Don’t make it sound so bad. I’m just courting, not seducing.”

“You’re courting your brother-in-law.”

“Don’t be shameless. Student Lin Yao has never been in a romantic relationship with you. He’s not your private property.”

“You’re the one who called him your brother-in-law first.”

“You remember it wrong.”
