Little Yichen was required to endure and persist in a horse stance for the time it took for an incense stick to burn out.
An incense stick?!
He was required to maintain that position for the time it took to burn out an incense stick?!
A bitter expression appeared on his face. Would he still be alive at the end of it all?!
Furthermore, there was another rule. The stones were not to touch the ground. If they did, another incense stick would be burnt so that he had to start all over again. The stone was only a finger’s distance away from the ground, and it would collide with the ground at the slightest carelessness. As a result, Little Yichen spent a total of four incense sticks’ worth of time on the first day and could barely walk that night.
With this kind of training and Little Yichen’s extraordinary talent, although he was not tall, he was extremely strong!
Mu Yazhe sometimes suspected that his son had some unearthly strength. If they were to go out on a drive and the car malfunctioned, this fellow would probably be able to lift the car up with his bare hands without using a jack!
Lisa was so stunned that she could not close her mouth. Still, despite what Little Yichen said, she was worried. She swept his hand away and reached out to touch the bone in his abdomen.
These places had been struck by Han Ji earlier on. She felt around to confirm that the punches did not hurt his organs or bones.
Fortunately they didn’t.
Little Yichen was so embarrassed by her touch that he took a few steps back. He looked at her with a flushed face. “You… why are you touching me?”
Seeing that he was blushing, Lisa explained, “I’m just trying to ensure that you’re alright.” His face grew even redder. He said awkwardly, “You should be more worried if he has broken his hand when he punched me. I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about me.”
Lisa looked at him speechlessly. After a long silence, she suddenly said, “I’ll send a message to Master Jie.”
With that, she walked around him and left.
Little Yichen then realized that he had to contact his uncle as soon as possible and tell him that they were on the Gu family’s vessel. Gu Jinglian had promised him that he would take them safely back to the capital.
According to Lisa, the speed of this freighter was twice as fast as that of the yacht. They would reach the capital in about ten days. On the other end, Gong Jie received news that Little Yichen and Lisa had boarded the rescue ship and were on their way back to the capital. He finally heaved a sigh of relief.
However, upon hearing that the two of them were on Gu Jinglian’s vessel… Gong Jie was flustered!
The Hurricane Group had taken away the Gu family’s land in North Africa. Now that they had crossed paths, could it be… Gu Jinglian was making things difficult for these two little fellows!?
“Uncle, let me tell you. I defeated a super strong guy! This person is Gu Jinglian’s very capable bodyguard. He lost to me!” Little Yichen mentioned this with smugness. Gong Jie was not in the mood to listen to this. He was just glad that they were safe.
Lisa said, “We encountered pirates not long ago.”
“Pirates?”
“Yes, near the Somali waters.”
“They boarded the ship?”
“Yes.”
“Well…” Gong Jie asked worriedly, “are you guys hurt?”
“No.” The girl gave a chilling laugh. “Little Yichen and I got rid of all those who boarded the ship.”
Gong Jie was speechless. Why was he feeling a chill down his spine somehow? Aren’t these two guys… a little scary?
