From Sidekick to Bigshot Novel - Chapter 1304
Chapter 1304: Admit Defeat
Jian Yiling’s soft voice pulled Jian Yiheng back to reality.
He was indeed overly excited.
After all, it had been a long time since he had met a worthy opponent and this made him very excited.
However, his sister’s words to stop were timely. If he continued to fight, his body would not be able to take many more hits.
And thus, Jian Yiheng withdrew his hand and said: “I admit defeat.”
As soon as he conceded defeat, the Jian family immediately rushed to the center of the arena to help him stand.
“I’m fine,” Jian Yiheng said to them. Even if he was covered with wounds, Jian Yiheng would not fall down in front of his own family.
“You don’t have to pretend to be strong. If you pretend to be strong, you will be left without food for days! We will eat whilst you watch!” Luo Xiuen angrily scolded.
Other than Grandma Jian, the only person who dared to reprimand the Jian brothers like that was Luo Xiuen.
Then, several people carried Jian Yiheng off the arena.
…
As Chen Lin watched this, he let out a sigh of relief.
Even though he appeared calm, his heart was beating rapidly.
Most people around him assumed Chen Lin won this martial arts contest very easily. This was just as they had anticipated.
In their eyes, Jian Yiheng was no match for Chen Lin.
Despite being anxious for moments in the fight, Chen Lin did not forget to mock Jian Yiheng: “How dare you challenge me with just that? I don’t think you’re suitable for martial arts. If you want to win against me, you need to crawl back into your mother’s womb and be born again. Maybe then, you would have a chance.”
Chen Lin wanted to break Jian Yiheng’s will. He wanted him to feel defeated so he would not continue to practice martial arts in the future. This way, he would have one less opponent.
“You talk too much!” Luo Xiuen hissed at Chen Lin. “You don’t get to speak like that just because you won! We gracefully admitted defeat!”
Jian Yiling said to Jian Yiheng: “Don’t listen to him. You’re not weak.”
Jian Yiheng was not a mentally weak individual. Naturally, he would not fall into depression just because he lost a martial arts contest.
Rather, there was now a fire burning in his heart. It was a fire that hadn’t burnt for a long time.
Before this, he felt incredibly bored. He didn’t have anyone to fight against.
However, being defeated gave him more motivation.
“Don’t forget the dinner you promised me,” Jian Yiheng said to Jian Yiling.
“Mhmm.”
If he was able to say that, it meant that he was truly fine.
The rest of the Jian family was relieved to hear this.
Then, Chen Lin’s gaze turned towards Zhai Yunsheng’s body and asked him condescendingly: “Are you still sure you want to fight with me?”
After watching that match, it was highly likely that Zhai Yusheng was scared. Therefore, it was possible for him to go back on his words.
“I’m sure,” Zhai Yunsheng replied with certainty.
“It looks like you have the same problem as your wife’s brother. You both sorely overestimate your capabilities.”
“Well, we come from the same family after all,” Zhai Yunsheng replied.
“Then you should speak to the woman in your family first. If their hearts ache because you get hurt, they might call for you to stop fighting again,” Chen Lin sneered.
“If they ask me to admit defeat, I will definitely listen,” Zhai Yunsheng replied.
“I never expected the Young Master of the Zhai family to be so submissive to a woman. I wonder if this is because you love your wife or whether it’s because you can’t offend the person who is providing you money,” Chen Lin commented sarcastically. Chen Lin implied that Zhai Yunsheng was relying on Jian Yiling for everything.
Upon hearing this comment, Zhai Yunsheng merely smiled. He did not bother to say anything.
“Do you need to take a break?” Zhai Yunsheng asked Chen Lin.
“Tch, the fight just now was nothing. It was akin to drinking a sip of water. When I exercise, I usually put in ten times the effort. That fight did not affect me in the slightest,” Chen Lin replied with disdain.

His words showed complete disregard for the fight he had with Jian Yiheng just now.
