Chapter 41: Lightly Believing Rumors

  Two men came to the courtyard for a martial arts contest.

  Yan Qingbi dismissed everyone and left only Ye Yun's people from Ling Muxuan Manor.

  Di Yuan carefully observed Ye Yun, although he didn't make any moves, but his whole body couldn't find a single flaw.

  She really has two sons? Di Yuan was secretly shocked in his heart.

  But thinking of what he had heard before, Di Yuan's disgust didn't decrease in the slightest, "Please."

  "You were the one who spoke first and hurt me, so this time you can make the first move." Ye Yun smiled coldly and made a please gesture.

  Di Yuan didn't want to waste any more words either, and with a sudden burst of speed, he charged towards Ye Yun.

  Ye Yun slightly narrowed her eyes and assumed a Tai Chi stance.

  Although she had bid farewell to her master and left the mountain early on, Ye Yun did not waste what she had learned.

  Tai Chi is what she practices most diligently.

  Retreating in order to advance, overcoming stiffness with softness, no matter what kind of kung fu is opposed to it, Tai Chi is the victorious royal road, Ye Yun has always deeply believed this.

  Di Yuan found Ye Yun's posture very strange as soon as he saw it.

  What kind of kung fu is this?

  Yeyun gently pushed out with both arms, her movements slow but extremely prepared, blocking Diyuan's attack and using the force to push him away fiercely.

  "What kind of kung fu is this?!" Yan Qing couldn't help but ask from the side.

  The four guards also shook their heads in unison.

  "You don't know either?" Yan Qing was a bit skeptical, wasn't she the mistress of Ling Muyuan Manor?

  "Mr. Yan doesn't know," said Yan Cheng, cupping his hands, "Madam has only been in the manor for a few days, and none of us have seen her use martial arts, we just know she's very strong and has some foundation in martial arts."

  A lone assassin who can kick a row of people unconscious with one leg. Even they may not be able to do it.

  "Then, you haven't seen your wife before?" Yan Qing asked again.

  "Yes," Yan Cheng nodded, "it was just a few days ago that Master Zhuang brought his wife back, and it was the first time we saw her."

  "Huh? Your master usually takes the four of you with him when he goes out, and yet this is your first time seeing her?" Yan Qing felt a faint sense of unease in his heart, but couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

  "Yes." Yan Cheng nodded.

  Yan Qing wanted to ask more questions, but suddenly heard several cries of surprise from beside him, followed by a loud crash, and turned his head to look.

  Di Yuan was suddenly slammed heavily onto the ground, and that loud noise was indeed the sound of him slamming onto the ground.

  Di Yuan originally thought that Ye Yun would just make a few poses, although somewhat skillful, but not enough to be feared. So he was slightly complacent and didn't expect that as soon as he relaxed his guard, Ye Yun suddenly made a fierce move, grabbing his arm and sending him flying out.

  And he didn't even have the chance to resist.

  Ye Yun clapped her hands and let out a breath, staring coldly at Di Yuan who had already stood up but was still a bit dizzy.

  Shoulder throw has always been Ye Yun's signature move, and her opponents would basically lose once they were thrown by her. So in previous matches, all of her opponents tried their best to prevent her from using the shoulder throw.

  Because those who were thrown by her basically had to lie on the ground for a while before they could get up. With this one throw, the match was over.

  Di Yuan surprisingly got up right away. His physical condition is quite good! Ye Yun looked at Di Yuan with a new level of respect.

  Just this fall, Ye Yun also felt a bit relieved.

  "Shall we continue?"

  Di Yuan's whole body ached, and the fall just now was quite severe.

  "What kind of move is this?" Di Yuan had never seen anyone use such a move before. Although it wasn't fatal, the damage was not small either.

  "Over-the-shoulder throw. How was that? Want to try the taste of this again?" Ye Yun struck another pose, this time in a Wing Chun stance.

  She learned this trick just for the sake of this name.

  Ye Yun was on a roll, and if Di Yuan said stop at this time, it would be very disappointing for her, so she took the initiative to attack.

  Di Yuan didn't expect Ye Yun to suddenly attack, and he was too late to defend himself, barely dodging.

  Ye Yun was about to strike again when her eyes inadvertently caught Di Yuan's pale and abnormal complexion, and she immediately withdrew her punch.

  "You..." Ye Yun was about to ask, when she suddenly saw Di Yuan's left hand, which had fresh blood dripping from his fingertips.

  "Did you have an injury from the start?!" Ye Yun furrowed her brow, wasn't this unfair to win like that?!

  "It's just a minor injury!" Di Yuan covered his left arm with one hand, apparently wounded on the upper arm. "Come again!"

  "It's off!" Ye Yun waved her hand in refusal, "You were injured to begin with, it wouldn't be a fair win for me! You should hurry up and treat your injuries instead. Let's do this again when you're healed!"

  Di Yuan's face turned red with anger, "No! I don't need your sympathy, this minor injury is nothing."

  "Don't be stubborn, if it's just a minor injury, you can't even stand steadily? Instead of being stubborn at this time, why not take good care of the wound! Once the wound is healed, we'll have another match." Ye Yun was too lazy to argue with him anymore and directly told Yan Qing beside her, "Yan Gongzi, find a doctor for him."

  Yan Qing furrowed his brow early on, "Di brother, when did you get injured? Why have I never heard you mention it?"

  "It's just a minor injury, no need to make a fuss!" Di Yuan refused to give up, grabbing Ye Yun who was about to leave, "Let's fight again!"

  Ye Yun turned back with a sullen face, "The outcome is undecided today, let's have a rematch another day! Why are you like a nagging woman, going on and on? There are witnesses here, we'll settle this when you're healed!"

  After finishing speaking, Ye Yun shook off Di Yuan's hand, regardless of Di Yuan's face turning red, and how unwilling he was.

  "Mr. Yan, due to my younger sister's matter, it has developed into this and caused trouble for your household, I really can't bear the thought of it. In the future, I will come with my husband to apologize in person. For now, I bid you farewell!" Ye Yun was polite and courteous, her words were also very proper, but instead made Yan Qing feel embarrassed.

  "Today, Di brother offended madam first, I hope madam will forgive him."

  "It doesn't matter!" Ye Yun smiled, having just let out a breath of air. Her mood had improved somewhat, and with Di Yuan's injured hand... "The innocent are innocent, I don't care what others say about me. Just now, I lost control of my temper because Mr. Di brought up my parents. It's been ages since I've seen them, and I miss them terribly. We've also been out for a while, we can't stay long. Farewell!"

  "Good! Madam Ling, I won't see you off!"

  Yan Qing watched as Ye Yun led the people away before he let out a sigh of relief, turning his head to look at Di Yuan who was standing beside him with a complex expression.

  "Di brother, you really shouldn't jump to conclusions. Look at that Ling lady, she speaks eloquently and politely, with great manners. She also handles things with great tact, if it weren't for your insults towards her, which even involved her parents, she wouldn't have had to engage in this confrontation with you!"

  Di Yuan's expression was complex, he lowered his head and looked at his injured left arm, "But... she shouldn't deceive me."

  "You can't know a person's heart by their face. You insulted her the moment you met, and she didn't let her four bodyguards take action against you, which is already quite something. How could you blindly trust that woman? Why don't you go find out what really happened before making a conclusion?" Yan Qing had always been suspicious of Di Yuan's previous description of Ye Yun.

  After seeing Ye Yun in person, he was even more convinced that Di Yuan had been misled by rumors.
