Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 2824 Ye Guigen: A Novice Who Loves to Play

Ye Xin and Ye Hong, along with Ye Bai and Ye Guigen, are confronting several boys.

Actually, to be honest, the girls in the Ye family haven't practiced martial arts properly since Ye Rou and Ye Mei.

The main reason is that Ye Yuze spoiled his daughter from the beginning, and he spoiled her even more as she got older. She only became self-disciplined, otherwise Yang Xue wouldn't be so unwilling to endure any hardship.

Ye Guigen had always lived with his grandmother, and Yu'e, who spoiled him, couldn't bear to let him practice martial arts.

Yifei has a gentle nature, and at home, she basically does whatever Yu'e says.

The Empress Dowager was even more concerned. This great-grandson was the apple of her eye. Let alone practicing martial arts, even a slight stumble would make her heart ache for half a day.

After the children arrived, Ye Guigen was the youngest, and also a generation younger. So, which of these uncles and aunts wouldn't give way to him?

Over time, he became a little troublemaker, the kind of person who was both incompetent and loved to cause trouble.

Just because his family spoils him doesn't mean outsiders will. The boy across from him is named Qiao Chu. His father is the director of the Education Bureau of Junken City, and his mother is the principal of Experimental Middle School. She is also a troublemaker.

Speaking of which, Director Qiao is from Beijing and graduated from the Chinese Department of Peking University. As for why he came to the Military Reclamation City, that remains a mystery.

Because his wife is also from Beijing, he definitely didn't come here for love.

Although Junken City is nice, it doesn't actually hold much appeal for students from prestigious universities like Tsinghua and Peking University.

After all, the world they faced was much broader, while Junken City was just a remote industrial city.

However, Junken City has always valued talent, and Director Xiao, a talented person in his prime, was quickly promoted and became the director of the Education Bureau of Junken City in just a few years.

His wife graduated from Renmin University. The two were childhood sweethearts, so they came together and got married in the military reclamation city.

Qiao Chu not only inherited the intelligence of her academically gifted parents, but also possesses high combat skills. She has always practiced Taekwondo, making her invincible throughout her class.

He was a year ahead of Ye Guigen and his classmates, so they shouldn't have had any interaction. But Ye Guigen was a troublemaker; somehow he fell for a girl in Qiao Chu's class.

The girl's name was Tianxin. She looked like a doll and was very cute. As soon as get out of class ended, Ye Guigen would sneak into her classroom to fawn over her.

There's no such thing as love between little kids; it's just a natural attraction. After all, Ye Guigen has always liked pretty girls since he was a child.

Sweetie has no interest in Ye Guigen. She's like a delicate girl, and although she's quite cute, she's too weak.

She liked someone like Qiao Chu, a dashing and spirited young man, and also a top student. Although he was clearly not as handsome as Ye Guigen, beautiful women have always loved heroes.

There are quite a few people who like pretty boys, but they are just infatuated. Sweetie is not an infatuated girl.

When you have troubles in your heart, you will naturally want to talk to your "hero".

Qiao Chu only had a slight liking for Tian Xin. At only eight or nine years old, how could she understand anything about feelings?

However, they still have a sense of territory, which is an innate instinct of males.

He had long been unhappy that Ye Guigen, that brat, came to his class to pick up girls, but because Ye Guigen's family background was too powerful, he didn't want to have a conflict with him.

But to say that he is afraid of Ye Guigen is simply not true. At their age, their thinking is not that complicated, and they would not consider what position someone's father holds, so they would be afraid of that level.

During PE class today, he cornered Ye Guigen in the woods, but unexpectedly, Ye Guigen brought two aunts and an uncle with him.

However, Qiao Chu didn't take these few pieces of material seriously at all. Ye Hong and Ye Bai were twins with obvious Slavic blood.

However, because she hadn't fully grown in, her face was covered in freckles, making her far from pretty. She was also thin and frail, like a bean sprout.

Ye Xin, however, is not to be underestimated. Not only is she beautiful, but she also looks very strong.

Qiao Chu hesitated for a moment, not out of fear, but because she couldn't bear to do it. Although Tianxin was pretty, she was not as pretty as Ye Xin.

But since things have already come to this, Ye Guigen has to be taught a lesson.

"Leaves return to their roots! Today I'm going to show you why flowers are so red!"

Qiao Chu rolled up her sleeves, revealing the faint muscle lines on her arms; her white Taekwondo belt gleamed dazzlingly in the sunlight.

Behind him were three boys, also dressed in sportswear, all eager to get started, clearly well-prepared.

Ye Guigen peeked out from behind Ye Xin, revealing his fluffy head:
"Don't you dare do anything reckless! My aunt is on the school track and field team!"

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Hong stomped her foot in anger:
"Hey! My sister and I are on the track and field team, but we're not good at fighting!"

The girl with light brown curly hair had her freckles on her nose flushed red with excitement.

Ye Xin took half a step forward and hid Ye Guigen behind her again.

She did indeed have a robust physique beyond her years, and her fluffy ponytail swayed gently with her movements:

"Qiao Chu, what kind of skill is it to bully children?"

Her voice was gentle, but her eyes were like two small knives.

She secretly pinched the whistle hidden in her pocket—it was for Ye Fei and the others to use for self-defense; if they blew it, Ye Fei would come running.

"Who's a child!" Qiao Chu's face flushed red, and she suddenly rushed forward, heading straight for Ye Guigen.

He had studied Taekwondo for three years, and this punch was extremely fast, almost hitting Ye Guigen's collar.

At the critical moment, a small figure suddenly shot out from the side.

Ye Bai, the usually taciturn nine-year-old boy, raised his hands as if holding a ball, and slightly shifted his feet, adopting the standard Bajiquan starting stance.

He turned his body and seemingly casually blocked, but he actually caught Qiao Chu's wrist. Then, he used the inside of his forearm to pull her gently with the force of her momentum.

Qiao Chu felt a sudden, unexpected force strike her, and she was thrown forward uncontrollably, falling flat on her face.

He was stunned for a moment before he finally got up, his face covered in grass clippings, his eyes wide open:
"What kind of strange kung fu is that?"

"This is my family's Bajiquan," Ye Bai said softly, his voice carrying a composure beyond his years.

His hands hung at his sides, yet his posture exuded a subtle sense of oppression.

"Bajiquan emphasizes 'swinging the shoulders to knock down the sky, stomping the feet to shake the nine provinces.' If you rush around like this, you'll easily get hurt."

Qiao Chu was not about to give in, so she wiped her face and rushed forward again.

This time he changed his strategy, using a side kick from Taekwondo, aiming directly at Ye Bai's chest.

Ye Bai remained calm, slightly turning his body and sinking his elbow downwards, striking Qiao Chu's calf squarely. The seemingly effortless movement caused Qiao Chu to hop on one leg in pain, tears welling in her eyes.

"Fine! You're ganging up on us!"

Seeing this, Qiao Chu's followers swarmed around. Ye Hong immediately assumed a starting stance, her ponytail swaying behind her head like a blur:
"Come on! Let's see who runs the fastest!"

Although she was petite, she was the 60-meter champion at last year's school sports meet, and at this moment she deliberately made a provocative face.

Ye Xin spread her arms wide, like a mother hen protecting her chicks: "Don't move! Take another step forward, and I'll blow the whistle!"

Her imposing presence caused the boys to hesitate.

Just then, Ye Guigen suddenly appeared from behind her, hands on his hips:
"How about that? Scared now! My uncle is a master of Bajiquan, and my aunts are super skilled too! Stay away from Tianxin from now on!"

He completely forgot how scared he had been just moments before, and with his head held high, he looked just like a proud little peacock.

Qiao Chu was both embarrassed and angry. Suddenly, she pointed at Ye Guigen and shouted, "If you're so capable, don't hide behind a woman! Let's fight one-on-one!"

"One-on-one it is!" Ye Guigen pounded his chest loudly and strode forward. But when Qiao Chuzhen assumed a fighting stance, he began to retreat:

"Wait! I'm not ready yet!"

Ye Bai sighed and gently pulled him behind him:
"Go wait over there." He then beckoned to Qiao Chu, "Come on, you make three moves."

The outcome of this battle was a foregone conclusion. Qiao Chu's Taekwondo techniques were like a paper tiger compared to Ye Bai's Bajiquan.

With the third move, Ye Bai simply gave Qiao Chu a gentle push, and she landed on the ground with a thud, completely losing her temper.

"Hmph! Now you know how powerful the Ye family is!"

Ye Guigen skipped over and took a piece of fruit candy from his pocket and popped it into his mouth.

"From now on, Tianxin can only play with me!"

Qiao Chu blushed as she got up, stubbornly saying, "This time I underestimated you! Next time..."

"It won't work next time either!" Ye Hong swung her long legs and came closer.

"We, the Ye family, are not to be trifled with!"

After this battle, Ye Guigen finally "brought glory to his school".

He tells everyone he meets, "See that? My uncle is a martial arts master! My aunts are super fierce too! Anyone who dares to mess with me..."

As he spoke, he deliberately puffed out his chest, looking smug and domineering, just like a little tyrant.

Ye Bai remained as quiet as ever, only stepping forward to clean up the mess when Ye Guigen caused trouble.

Ye Xin and Ye Hong took "protecting their nephew" as their new mission. Every time Ye Guigen went out and flirted with girls, they would follow him at a distance, just like two dutiful little bodyguards.

As for Qiao Chu, although she was unconvinced, she would always subconsciously take a detour when she saw the Ye family's children.

However, children's grudges come and go quickly. Before long, they will be chasing and playing on the playground again, as if that "battle" had never happened.

After all, for these eight- or nine-year-old children, today's enemy might become tomorrow's good partner for digging earthworms together.

The incident in the grove quickly spread throughout the school, and Ye Guigen walked with a swagger, like a rooster that had just won a battle.

During breaks, he always liked to stand at the classroom door and show off to the students passing by:
"See that? My uncle's fist can send someone flying with just one punch!"

As he spoke, he imitated Ye Bai's punching motion, but he used too much force and almost fell flat on his face.

During lunch break that day, Ye Guigen thought about Tianxin again. He secretly slipped to the door of Qiao Chu's classroom, clutching a strawberry-flavored lollipop he had bought with his allowance, his eyes sparkling as he searched for Tianxin.

Just then, Tianxin was chatting with a few girls. Ye Guigen took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and was about to rush forward when a hand suddenly reached out and blocked his way.

"Hey, isn't this the great hero Ye?" Qiao Chu crossed his arms, a half-smile playing on his lips.

"Trying to curry favor again? I'm afraid of your uncle, but not of you."

Ye Guigen's heart skipped a beat, but remembering his previous victory, he mustered his courage again:

"Don't scare me! My aunt and uncle are nearby!"

Despite saying that, his eyes couldn't help but dart around, trying to find Ye Xin and the others.

Qiao Chu snorted and suddenly reached out to snatch the lollipop from Ye Guigen's hand.

Ye Gui instinctively tried to dodge backward, but in his panic, he slipped and landed on his bottom, the lollipop rolling to the side.

He blushed and tried to get up, only to find Qiao Chu looking down at him with a defiant gaze.

Just as Ye Guigen felt he was about to lose all face, a clear whistle pierced the sky.

Ye Xin rushed over like a gust of wind, her ponytail drawing a beautiful arc in the air. She pulled Ye Guigen up and shielded him behind her, her almond-shaped eyes wide open:
"Qiao Chu! You're bullying the child again!"

Immediately after, Ye Hong strode over, hands on her hips: "Didn't I teach you a lesson last time? Want to experience the power of my 100-meter sprint again?"

As he spoke, he assumed a starting stance, startling Qiao Chu's follower who took two steps back.

Qiao Chu retorted, "So what if I bullied him?"

Despite saying that, her eyes kept glancing around, clearly afraid that Ye Bai might suddenly appear.

"What? I'll show you why flowers are so red!"

Ye Bai had appeared behind Qiao Chu without her noticing. His voice was light and airy, yet it sent a shiver down Qiao Chu's spine.

He slowly turned around and saw Ye Bai with his arms crossed, his nine-year-old body standing straight, his eyes calm but carrying an undeniable sense of pressure.

Qiao Chu swallowed hard, forcing herself to remain calm: "Bring it on, who's afraid of who!"

He launched the first attack, sending a side kick at Ye Bai. Ye Bai neither dodged nor evaded, and just as the opponent's leg was about to reach him, he suddenly turned to the side, grabbing Qiao Chu's ankle with his right hand like an iron clamp, and gently pushing with his left hand.

Qiao Chu lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground.

Before he could even get up, Ye Bai had already lunged forward, his hands gripping Qiao Chu's shoulders like eagle claws. Though seemingly effortless, it rendered Qiao Chu unable to move.

“My dad said that Bajiquan emphasizes ‘striking people as if walking, and looking at people as if they were weeds.’”

Ye Bai said softly, "With your impetuousness, you'll never be a match for Bajiquan."

The students watching gasped in surprise. Taking advantage of the moment, Ye Guigen emerged from behind Ye Xin, hands on his hips, beaming with pride.
"See? I told you my uncle is the best! Qiao Chu, stay away from Tianxin from now on, or it won't be so easy next time!"

Standing in the crowd, Tianxin watched Ye Bai's fluid and graceful moves, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.

This was the first time she had discovered that this usually quiet boy was actually so capable.

She glanced at Ye Guigen and saw that the boy who always liked to hang around her was now shaking his head and showing off, just like a little megaphone. She couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The farce ended with Qiao Chu slinking away in disgrace.

Ye Guigen skipped and hopped along behind Ye Bai, muttering to himself:

"Uncle, you were so cool just now! You have to teach me more so I can protect myself and Tianxin!"

Ye Bai smiled helplessly: "Let's correct your bad habit of being both bad at games first."

Ye Xin and Ye Hong flanked Ye Guigen, with Ye Hong poking his head and saying, "If you run off again, we'll lock you up at home!"

Ye Guigen stuck out his tongue: "I know! But with my aunt and uncle around, I'm not afraid at all!"

He shook his head, pondering what gift to bring Tianxin next time, completely forgetting the embarrassing state of being almost bullied just now.

After this incident, Ye Guigen's "reputation" at the school grew even stronger.

Although everyone knows he's a troublesome little brat who's both incompetent and loves to play, with the powerful siblings of the Ye family protecting him, no one dares to provoke him easily.

Ye Bai's Bajiquan became a legend at school, and many classmates pestered him to learn kung fu, which gave the usually quiet Ye Bai a headache.

As the days went by, Ye Guigen continued to do as he pleased, pursuing Tianxin and occasionally causing minor trouble, which was always averted with the help of Ye Xin and the others.

These childhood anecdotes, like colorful candies, are sweet and fun, becoming their most precious memories on their journey of growing up.
