As the Universe Turns - Chapter 4

Chapter 4 Cause Trouble
Yi Chen ignored Zhao Wangsun. Taking advantage of the servant’s lack of preparedness and silence, he rushed over and kicked him away from behind. Shen Jing was able to free herself and recover from the shock. Seeing that it was him again, she was stunned, “Xiao Chen …”

“Don’t say anything. You go first.” Yi Chen handed her a look and quickly ran towards Wu Niang, helping Wu Niang up, “Ah Niang, how are you?”

Wu Niang shook his head. Knowing that the Zhao Clan was powerful, he didn’t want to add to the trouble. He looked at the nearby Prince of Zhao and said, “Young Master Zhao, I don’t know how I, Yi Chen, offended you. If anything is wrong, look … Shouldn’t I accompany Young Master Xiang here?”

“Ah Niang …”

Yi Chen clenched his hands tightly and felt a ball of fire suppressed in his chest. Prince Sun Zhao smiled coldly and said carelessly, “Alright, if you kowtow three times to Ben Childe here, then this matter will be settled. Otherwise …” Then he looked at Shen Jing maliciously and said indifferently, “She can come and beg me.”

Shen Jing’s entire body trembled. She knew what he meant, so she couldn’t help but look at Wu Niang. Wu Niang took a deep breath and recalled the night twelve years ago. Fairy Miao Yin’s words had allowed him to live a good life in this mortal world …

“Ah Niang!”

Yi Chen hurriedly supported her and turned to look at Prince Zhao angrily. In his eyes, it was as if two furious beasts were about to charge out, “Prince Zhao! Do you dare to fight me one-on-one?”

“Chen’er!” Wu Niang immediately glared at him.

“Haha” Zhao Wangsun smiled gloomily and said faintly, “Xiao Yi Chen, I can’t run away from you on the mountain. If I want you to die here, you won’t be able to live … Beat me up!”

After giving the order, seven or eight servants immediately rushed forward with sticks in their hands. Seeing this, Yi Chen pulled out the wooden saber he had brought out from the courtyard and protected Ah Niang and Shen Jing behind him. The blade pointed at the seven or eight servants who rushed forward, “Who dares to come up and try?”

“Oh!” Zhao Wangsun put his hands on his chest and smiled nonchalantly, “You dare to use your saber? That’s right” With that, his eyes turned fierce, “Beat me! Beat me to death! Beat me to death!”

Three or four servants immediately pounced over like wolves. Wu Niang cried out in fright and hurriedly pounced over to protect Yi Chen. She was immediately struck with two heavy blows on her back.

“Ah Niang!”

Yi Chen shielded her with her back. The club on her back immediately rained down like rain. Shen Jing was so frightened that her face turned pale. She shouted, “Stop fighting! Stop fighting!”

None of the surrounding crowd dared to dissuade them. They all dodged into the distance. Zhao Wangsun laughed loudly and his expression became extremely wild. “Continue to fight! Fight to the death!”

Three or four servants kept on hitting each other with sticks, but this was obviously not the first time they had used their power to hit someone. They were all very accurate in their hands, and they didn’t even hit the top of their heads. They only crippled people, not killing them. They just had to compensate them later.

“Chen’er … stop fighting, stop fighting!”

Wu Niang was so anxious that her face turned deathly pale, but Yi Chen did not say a word. Her back was covered in sticks like rain, scaring the people nearby to the point that their faces turned pale. If she continued to fight like this, it was likely that a human life would be lost!

“Chen’er … How are you! Chen’er!”

Seeing that Yi Chen had suddenly closed her eyes and remained silent, Wu Niang was scared out of her wits. However, she did not know that there was a mysterious current circulating within Xiao Yichen’s body, protecting his heart meridians. Slow down with the stick, even knives and spears would not be able to hurt him at all.

Suddenly, Yi Chen opened his eyes and looked back. The four servants immediately stopped. At this moment, they saw his cold gaze. It was as if they were facing an abyss. They only felt a cold aura pressing towards them. How could a young man have such a terrifying gaze? None of the four dared to move.

“Why are you stopping?”

Zhao Wangsun shouted coldly. Seeing that the four servants were still motionless like wood, he scolded, “Useless trash!” At the end of his words, he grabbed the staff of one of the people beside him and strode forward. However, when he touched Yi Chen’s cold gaze, he couldn’t help but shiver. Then, a chill came over him, as if he had fallen into an ice-cold nightmare. He couldn’t even say anything, “You, you …”

“Die.”

Yi Chen’s eyes suddenly turned extremely cold. He punched out, and this punch seemed to have the power to open a mountain. When it approached Prince Sun Zhao’s chest, a green light suddenly appeared. It was actually the scabbard protector. However, with a “bang”, the scabbard immediately shattered and dimmed. Prince Sun Zhao also flew away, spitting out a mouthful of blood and heavily falling out.

“Young … Young Master!”

The servants were frightened out of their wits. They no longer cared about Xiao Yichen and the others. They hurriedly ran back. Prince Sun Zhao fell to the ground, blood gushing out of his mouth. He could not even speak. If the scabbard had not blocked it for him, his tendons would have been broken and he would have died on the spot.

Everyone nearby was stunned. Shen Jing came back to her senses and ran to Xiao Yichen and Wu Niang. She was about to help Wu Niang up when she saw Xiao Yichen’s gaze. She felt as if she had fallen into an icy pond. She couldn’t help but tremble, “Xiao, Xiao Chen …”

“Uh …”

Yi Chen let out a muffled snort. He felt dizzy for a while, but he quickly recovered. He looked at Prince Zhao and said in a low voice, “Let’s go!”

“Wu Niang, let’s go first.” Shen Jing supported Wu Niang and looked over. Taking advantage of the chaos, she left the town.

The three of them returned to the village and entered the house. Wu Niang sat at the table without saying a word. Yi Chen sat opposite her with his head tilted and two bruises on his forehead. He held it in for a long time before saying, “He provoked me first!” After a while, he raised his head again and said, “Ah Niang, are you alright …”

Wu Niang still looked at him and didn’t say anything. At this moment, she didn’t know what she was thinking. After a long time, she said, “Are you moving your muscles and bones?”

Yi Chen grinned and said, “My muscles and bones are moving. Can I still run back? As for Prince Sun Zhao, I don’t think he’ll be able to get out of bed for half a month. Strange, why did his strength suddenly become so strong at that time …”

Wu Niang’s eyebrows furrowed even deeper. This time, she had caused a disaster. It would be good if she could bring out money to settle this matter. She had saved up some money over the years by relying on her craftsmanship. Originally, she planned to go to Qingzhou City to settle a house so that Yi Chen could leave the village in the future. However, the Zhao Clan was very powerful and would never let it go. Silver was afraid that she would not be able to settle it.

What should we do now?

Wu Niang was worried. Chen’er had already passed the age of “child compassion”. If he wanted to ask about this, with the Zhao Clan’s methods, he would have to be locked up for ten to twenty years. When he came out again, his entire body would be ruined. Could it be that he had to invite Fairy Miao Yin this time?

Thinking of this, Wu Niang furrowed her eyebrows. She could not go. Although she was a woman in this mortal world, she knew that cultivating the Dao of Immortality was known as “crossing tribulation”. She had to be thorough, but she was still a mortal karma. Fairy Miaoyin had given the child to her for the sake of cutting down the karma of the mortal world. Now, how could she allow this child to be related to Fairy Miaoyin? Isn’t that hurting Fairy Miaoyin? But apart from Goddess Miaoyin, who else could save him …

The room fell into silence. Shen Jing found a medicine chest and looked at Xiao Yichen. “Sit still. I’ll apply medicine to you first.”

“Oh.”

Yi Chen seemed to have gotten used to it. Second Uncle Shen was a famous doctor in the village. He was no weaker than the doctor in Qingzhou City. Therefore, Shen Jing had also learned a bit about medicine since childhood. Her talent was also excellent. In the past, it was most likely because of her that she came to treat every injury Yi Chen suffered.

“Aiyo, be gentle, it hurts.”

“Sit still.”

Shen Jing gently glanced at him, her strength slightly lighter. Yi Chen grinned and said, “Sister Shen Jing, I said it would be great if you were always so gentle … Aiyo! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!”

After a while, Shen Jing finished the medicine for him. Wu Niang sighed softly and said, “Xiao Jing, you can go back first.”

“Wu Niang …”

Shen Jing frowned slightly and felt a little guilty in her heart. Speaking of which, today’s matter was still because of her. Daddy told her to go to the town to pick up some medicinal ingredients and come back. She didn’t expect to see that Prince Sun Zhao was playing a rascal on her. It just so happened that Wu Niang came over to see her again and saw what happened afterwards.

“It’s fine. You can go back.”

Wu Niang nodded her head gently. At this moment, she looked exceptionally calm. If it was an ordinary person who was doing this, she would probably be in such a hurry to jump up and down. How could she sit so calmly like her? She was not an ordinary woman.

“Then” Shen Jing hesitated for a moment before putting down the medicine chest in her hand and glaring at Xiao Yichen, “Take good care of your injuries. Don’t be naughty and make Wu Niang angry again.”

Just as he finished speaking, a movement suddenly came from outside, followed by a deep male voice, “Xiao Yichen! Get out!”

“Shit, it’s from the Zhao Clan …”

Shen Jing’s expression changed slightly. She then remembered that Prince Zhao’s grandson seemed to be seriously injured in the town. Even with the miraculous medicine, it would probably take half a month for him to get out of bed.

“Zhao Clan’s dog thief!”

Yi Chen stood up angrily. Shen Jing quickly pressed him down and glared at him, “Sit down! What do you want?”

“Xiao Yichen! Get out!”

The voice from outside was getting closer and closer. Wu Niang’s face changed slightly. She didn’t expect the Zhao Family to arrive so quickly. She looked at Shen Jing and said, “Xiao Jing, help me keep an eye on him. Don’t let him come out.” After saying that, he hurriedly left.

Outside, a middle-aged man brought a lot of people into the village. This group of people were all fierce and fierce. The dragon and tiger tattoos on their shoulders were not as simple as the Zhao family servants. That middle-aged man was Zhao Dagui, the twin brother of Minister Zhao. He had suffered a lot of human lives in the past, but he was still walking on the road. He was not a good person.

Seeing this posture, the villagers were so frightened that they hid in their houses. They didn’t know why Xiao Yichen had provoked such a great overlord like the Zhao Family.

“Second Master Zhao, the child is naughty and ignorant. Why did you bring so many people to the village? What do you have to say? You can’t say it properly …”

Wu Niang walked out of the room. Facing seven or eight fierce people at this moment, her gaze was actually calm and unhurried. It was definitely not something an ordinary village woman could display.

A man looked at her and smiled, “Second Master, I can’t see how beautiful this woman is. Why don’t we bring her back to our brothers …”

“Get lost!” Zhao Dagui was aggressive and pushed it away, pointing at Wu Niang, “Where is your son? Hand him over!”
