Chapter 17 - No Need

Early the next morning, Ye Chenfeng received a call from his uncle Ye Dongjian, who berated him over the phone before letting Ye Chenfeng give him the address, saying he would come to pick him up and take him to the military district later.In Ye Chenfeng’s memory, his uncle Ye Dongjian was never serious, a 38-year-old man without even a girlfriend to show for it.

Back in the day, Ye Dongjian was a well-known playboy in Capital City, until the elder Mr.

Ye threw him into the military in a fit of anger, and now he seemed to be faring quite decently.

Upon learning that Ye Chenfeng was going to train in the military district for a while, Tang Xin, that girl, personally cooked breakfast for him, and Monkey rushed to the villa early in the morning, fawning over and trying to ingratiate himself with Ye Chenfeng.

“I say, boss, why on earth are you going to train in the military district?

Isn’t that godforsaken place just designed to torture people?” Monkey asked as he ate his breakfast.

“Is breakfast not enough to shut you up?” Ye Chenfeng replied irritably.

“Monkey, while I’m away, you’d better take extra care of Xin’er for me, and don’t let anyone bully her.”

Ye Chenfeng’s training stint at Tianhai military district might last for several months!

Naturally, someone needed to look after Tang Xin.

“Sure thing!

Boss, even if you didn’t ask, I would have done it.

How could I let sister-in-law be bullied?

During the three years you weren’t in Tianhai, I’ve been wholeheartedly serving you, boss!” Monkey said with a smile.

Tang Xin, listening to Monkey calling her “sister-in-law,” blushed like a red apple, bowing her head as she took small bites of her porridge, feeling blissful inside at the thought of being Ye Chenfeng’s little woman—a wish that was her sole desire nowadays.

“Shut your trap.

I remember it was I who rescued Xin’er from your clutches,” Ye Chenfeng teased.

Monkey’s face turned slightly red, and he scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, “Boss, aren’t you exposing my past faults?

It’s just that back then, I hadn’t met you yet.

Ever since you taught me a lesson that year, I’ve been enlightened like receiving the true essence, understanding the true meaning of ‘profligate.’ A person who bullies the weak isn’t a profligate.

That’s what you taught me back in the day!”

“Chenfeng brother, have you eaten enough?

Do you want me to get you some more?” Tang Xin asked softly as she noticed Ye Chenfeng’s bowl of porridge was empty.

“Alright, then please get me a little more.” Ye Chenfeng had quite the appetite, and a bowl of porridge was not nearly enough to fill his stomach.

Watching Tang Xin take Ye Chenfeng’s bowl into the kitchen, Monkey said in a half-joking tone, “Boss, sister-in-law truly is virtuous and capable, a proper lady in the hall and a cook in the kitchen!

Only a woman like that is a good match for you, boss.”

“Monkey, how come you’ve become even more of a chatterbox after three years?” Ye Chenfeng asked with a twisted mouth.

“Boss, aren’t you just giving me a hard time?

Over the past three years, my yearning for you hasn’t been any less than sister-in-law’s!” With his eyes gazing at the ceiling, Monkey let out a sigh.

“Alright, Monkey, why do I find your words so awkward?

You’re not into guys, are you?” The idea of being on a man’s mind every day gave Ye Chenfeng a strange feeling.

With tears in his eyes, Monkey said, “Boss, I’m a very normal man, you can’t be this cruel to me.”

Right after finishing breakfast, Ye Chenfeng’s uncle arrived at the villa in a military Humvee.

The sharp contours of his face made him look extraordinarily rugged, and his body was strong and forceful, clearly indicating a military background.

At this moment, Ye Dongjian was leaning against a Humvee with a cigarette hanging from his mouth.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng walk out of the villa, he punched him in the chest and said irritably, “Kid, the old man sends you here for training, and you go off and shut down your phone?

When will you ever make your uncle proud?

Look at those twiggy arms and legs of yours, you look just like a girl!”

Ye Chenfeng and his uncle, Ye Dongjian, had always gotten along well since Chenfeng’s childhood.

When they were together, it didn’t feel like a relationship between an elder and a younger family member, but more like that of close friends who could talk about anything.

Ye Chenfeng rubbed his chest and said, “Uncle, you know I’m frail and yet you hit me so hard?”

“Not only do I want to hit you, but I also want to kick you! ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴovᴇl(F)ɪre.ɴet

I heard from the old man that your illness is totally cured?

From now on, act like a man.

The Yes do not produce cowards, got it?”

Ye Chenfeng felt a mix of embarrassment and pride inside.

He was used to his uncle Ye Dongjian’s behavior and quickly replied, “I will definitely learn from you in the future.”

“Hmm.” Satisfied with Chenfeng’s response, Dongjian nodded and said, “It’s good to have this kind of spirit, but thinking you could be as tough as your uncle here?

That’s not likely.

If you had half my skills, you wouldn’t get bullied anymore.”

Ye Dongjian was rather full of himself, and Ye Chenfeng was quite speechless about his uncle.

He knew in his heart that with his Second Level Soul Force, he was already on par with his uncle in terms of skills.

If he could just enhance the quality of his body and stabilize the Second Level Soul Force, then soon Dongjian wouldn’t stand a chance against him.

“Chenfeng, is that your little girlfriend?

She really is quite attractive,” said Ye Dongjian, spotting Tang Xin and Monkey standing at the villa’s doorway.

“Uncle, have you looked long enough?

Let’s go!” Ye Chenfeng didn’t want to continue the nonsense talk with his uncle, knowing if they kept it up, there was no telling when it would end.

Tang Xin and Monkey only entered the villa after watching the Humvee drive away, the young girl’s eyes brimming with unshed tears; her love for Ye Chenfeng was unbreakable.

On the Humvee, Ye Dongjian asked, “Chenfeng, this time I’ve arranged for you to join a special force.

For most people, it’s like Human Purgatory.

How about I pull some strings for you and let you train under me for a while first?”

Could any training be more rigorous than what Ye Chenfeng endured in his previous life?

Moreover, he was here to improve his physical condition, so naturally, the more intense the training, the better for him.

“Uncle, didn’t you just tell me to act like a man?

What, you look down on me?

I don’t need any special favors,” Ye Chenfeng flatly refused.

“Good kid, I was just worried you couldn’t withstand the training and would run away.

Wouldn’t that embarrass me?” Ye Dongjian said, rolling his eyes.

“Then uncle, just wait and see!

You’ll see how I perform when the time comes,” replied Ye Chenfeng, not wanting to explain any further.

Presumably, the old Mr.

Ye had not told Ye Dongjian about his skills.

All the way there, Ye Dongjian never mentioned Ye Chenfeng’s parents.

He did this on purpose, as his own heartache was no less than Chenfeng’s; he just didn’t want Chenfeng to become even more sorrowful by bringing up the matter.
