Chapter 590 How to deal with Yan Yu

Even Zhao Yuanzhen was defeated. Finally, no woman dared to protect Yan Jing anymore. She was caught by Yan Yu, who used his family's unique skill of breaking bones to rub her face, hit her forehead and temples, and tortured her until she screamed.

The girls knew that they could not stop the captain's violence by force, so they began to use verbal tactics to try to dissuade Yan Yu.

"A grown man is still angry with his sister, isn't that shameful!" Lin Ning used provocation and mocked him.

"Children should focus on studying, don't you understand?" Yan Yu ignored him and said to Yan Jing, "I have an article 'Encouraging Learning' to read to you..."

Lin Ning fled immediately.

"Captain, forget it. Jingjing was just joking." Su Yunjin patiently persuaded, "She came from afar as a guest."

"Guests are here, and there's not even any fruit." Yan Yu used a trick to distract the enemy, "Go wash some grapes and prunes from the refrigerator."

Su Yunjin sighed inwardly and walked to the kitchen.

Xie Ruoxi opened her mouth and spoke after a long while:

"Captain, Jingjing just said she wanted to help me draw a card, why don't you let her go first."

"What game?" Yan Yu asked with a kind smile, "I'll tell the game company and ask them to give you a higher multiplier."

Xie Ruoxi was delighted at first, but then she suddenly realized what was happening and was horrified. She quickly turned around and ran away.

"Little thief, come at me if you have the guts!" Zhao Yuanzhen climbed up from the sofa and shouted.

"The grapes Yunjin bought this morning are quite delicious. They are big, thin-skinned, juicy, and very sweet." Yan Yu responded slowly, "I'll have to eat a few more later."

"I'll come and settle the score with you after I help Yunjin wash the fruit!" Zhao Yuanzhen immediately stood up and said righteously.

"Let's see who will come to save you today!" Yan Yu continued to bully his sister with a grin.

Yan Jing was also desperate when she saw this, thinking to herself, there are so many of you, but not one of you can beat my brother, this is outrageous!
Later I will find those boxing posts on my phone and forward them to you. Read them carefully and learn them well. Don’t let your brother fool you so easily... Girls should help each other.

Yan Yu finally calmed down and turned to look at Chen Lingyun and said:
"Why don't you come and persuade me?"

"It's okay." Chen Lingyun pretended to pick up her phone and pointed the camera at Yan Yu. "I'm going to record it and send it to Jingjing's parents later."

Aren't Jingjing's parents my parents? Yan Yu frowned, feeling that it would be a bit troublesome, and immediately calmly let go of his sister and said:
"I'll teach you a lesson today. If you dare to talk nonsense to me again, I'll sew your mouth shut!"

"Hmph!" Yan Jing quickly ran behind Chen Lingyun and wrinkled her nose at her tyrant brother to show her dissatisfaction.

Yan Yu clapped his hands and walked away with a swagger. In the kitchen, Su Yunjin and Zhao Yuanzhen each brought over some fruit. The former had a whole plate of washed fruit, while the latter had a full plate, three-quarters of a plate, half a plate, a quarter of a plate... It was in a dynamic state of change, so it was difficult to accurately describe the quantity.

"Sister Lingyun," Yan Jing asked curiously, "Do you usually let my brother bully you like this?"

"There's nothing I can do." Chen Lingyun saw through her thoughts at a glance and said with a smile, "After all, he is the captain."

"Even if you're the captain, you can't do that," Yan Jing complained. "For example, in our school, there are a few boys who like to bully girls, but as soon as a girl cries, they don't dare to do it again, otherwise they'll be looked down upon by the whole class."

Su Yunjin understood the implication of her words, but she didn't feel that she was bullied by Yan Yu, so she just smiled and said nothing.

As for Zhao Yuanzhen... she was busy eating fruit and had no time to think about what Yan Jing was hinting at.

Seeing that no one spoke, Yan Jing thought that her brother was too aggressive and had tortured the girls to the point of losing their temper. She immediately felt an urge to empathize with them and stood up and said:

"I'm going to start a class! I'm going to teach you how to deal with my brother!"

When it comes to dealing with Yan Yu, the three girls' eyes all light up.

Chen Lingyun wanted to have fun with Yan Yu, Su Yunjin wanted to understand Yan Yu, and Zhao Yuanzhen naturally wanted to find out the weaknesses of the little thief, so they all became very interested.

"Go call Sister Ningning and Sister Ruoxi over here," Yan Jing said confidently, "It's time to use my knowledge!"

----------

In Chen Lingyun's room, five girls and one younger sister were sitting on the carpet, chatting and laughing.

"The cake is here!" Su Yunjin came over with a tray.

"There are other things to eat." Xie Ruoxi followed Yun Jin into the room, holding a bunch of snacks.

The girls shared food and drinks, and talked about the books they had read recently, the TV series they were watching, and the funny news on the Internet. They were all laughing and having a great time.

Yan Jing suddenly felt something was wrong. Damn, did I come here to have a girls' party with my sisters?

"Ahem!" She quickly stood up, cleared her throat, and said seriously, "I called everyone here not just to chat, but because I've noticed that my sisters seem completely helpless against my brother... Actually, it's understandable. My brother has always been very chauvinistic at home, and even my parents can't control him. But as his sister who grew up with him, I actually understand him quite well."

Speaking of Yan Yu, the girls quieted down and waited to see what martial arts secrets and brotherly manuals Yan Jing could come up with.

"First of all, if you want to deal with my brother, you can't use too strong a method." Yan Jing put on the posture of a professional female teacher, propped up the non-existent eyes on the bridge of her nose, and said with her arms crossed, "Because my brother is a male chauvinist with a very bad temper, the more aggressive you are, the tougher he will be. It's well known that us girls are inferior to boys in terms of both force and deterrence. So if you confront my brother in this regard, it's tantamount to using your own weakness to attack his strongest point."

"I want to criticize Sister Zhao by name here!"

"Ah? Me?" Zhao Yuanzhen was eating potato chips and tilted his head in confusion when he heard that.

"When Sister Zhao and my brother argue, she always subconsciously displays the most intense hostility. This is unacceptable!" Yan Jing raised her hands and crossed them, making a "forbidden" gesture. "Look, every time you confront your brother, you get bullied miserably. Have you ever had the upper hand?"

Zhao Yuanzhen put down the potato chips and thought. Maybe, it seemed, it seemed, it really hadn't happened?

Others may not remember it clearly, but she has a book of hatred in her mind after all. When she opens it carefully, it is full of humiliation and tears of blood... She has hardly ever been able to turn the tables, it is all filled with hatred.

"Isn't that right?" Lin Ning disagreed. "I've beaten him before, and he never bullied me back. The captain is pretty easy to talk to in that regard."

"Haha." Yan Jing's smile grew more confident as she pointed at Lin Ning and said, "That's because Sister Ning, you didn't really want to beat him up. You were just playing with him and giving him some benefits!"

Lin Ning's face suddenly turned red, and she looked stunned. Her eyes were wide open, and she was so embarrassed that it seemed as if steam was coming out of her ears. She stammered and said weak excuses like "No, I didn't," "It's really not," and "You made a mistake."

The other girls all frowned, feeling a little bit jealous, but soon began to ponder again.

Su Yunjin was thinking, should I give the captain some benefits? Maybe pretend to be angry and hit him, kick him, step on him, and take the opportunity to engage in some physical intimacy... But normally, even when I'm angry, I talk, not physically. Doing this suddenly would make the captain feel confused!
Xie Ruoxi pondered, isn't this the classic anime tsundere tactic for boosting affection? While the balance between tsundere and tsundere is difficult to pin down, leading to many characters becoming more arrogant than tsundere and ultimately relegated to the side, as an encyclopedia of the anime world, isn't this something I can't master? Decided, I'll learn it!
Zhao Yuanzhen was indignant. If we were going to fight, of course we had to kill him. Instead of beating him up after being bullied by him, she played with him and gave him benefits. Is Ningning crazy? She's bringing shame to us women!

Chen Lingyun didn't think, she just smiled and turned her eyes, taking in the expressions and reactions of all the girls.

"Even though my brother doesn't take any hardship, that doesn't mean pretending to be a soft girl will work for him." Yan Jing continued to explain, "Because my brother is actually a bit of a strong admirer at heart, he prefers strong women. If you are weak and pitiful, you may be liked by other men, but my brother will only think you are a complete waste, and will despise you and look down on you even more."

Xie Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly tilted her head back and fell.

That's it! I'm such a loser, I'm destined to never get the love of the overbearing captain. I might as well just die and be reborn as a powerful woman in my next life...

Lin Ning, who had finally recovered, still had a flushed face. Seeing Xie Ruoxi suddenly fall down for some reason, she hurried over to support her.

"Isn't that strange?" Su Yunjin frowned. "If I act weak, the captain will think I'm useless. If I act tough, it will only make him more confrontational. So, no matter what I do, it won't work."

"Wrong!" Yan Jing said, "To put it simply, you need to be gentle on the outside and strong on the inside!"

"Soft on the outside, strong on the inside?" The girls were puzzled.

"To put it simply, you have to submit to him on the surface, but you can't obey him completely." Yan Jing explained with an example, "For example, if your brother quarrels with you, what will you do?"

"If you forcefully fight back, he'll just suppress you with even greater force. But if you don't resist, he'll look down on you and think you're useless. So, between the two evils, choose the middle ground. First, say 'I won't argue with you,' to avoid the possibility of a direct confrontation. Then, appropriately express your objection, such as 'I'm not arguing with you not because I think you're right, but because I cherish our relationship and don't want to argue over such a trivial matter.'"

"I see!" Lin Ning suddenly realized, "Put the blame for the quarrel on him!"

"That's right." Yan Jing showed a teachable look and said approvingly, "In terms of fighting ability, we may not be able to beat the boys, but when it comes to feelings, ten boys can't beat one girl!"

"The so-called outward gentleness and inner strength means showing weakness in a difficult confrontation, avoiding conflict, and going around to a place where he can't fight back, and then severely punishing him!"

------------

Yan Yu returned to the room, took out his cell phone, and started asking Jing Ye for news.

Previously, the so-called "recruitment" of civilian monks meant, "If you've committed a crime and your identity as a monk has been exposed, I'll consider allowing you to serve in the army in exchange for a reduced sentence." This approach had a problem: if civilian monks wanted to be recruited and receive government support, they actually had to commit a major crime first, which was a bit of a joke.

Take the world of "Water Margin" that everyone is familiar with as an example. If an adult man with proficient martial arts joins the army normally, he will be a "thief in the army". Not only will he have tattoos on his face and be looked down upon by the people, but he will also have to endure the harsh exploitation of the soldiers. But if he joins the green forest as a hero, he can not only drink and eat meat in big bowls, but also be recruited and become an official. It is a much brighter path than the normal military service - with these two paths here, is there any need to choose?

From the above perspective, such a situation that undermines social stability will certainly not be allowed to occur. Therefore, Chen Tianming proposed in the cabinet that the recruitment of civilian monks should be "organized", "scaled" and "normalized".

Jing Ye commented sharply that this is Chen Tianming's greatest strength: he always manages to put forward proposals that are beneficial to him in an occasion and at a time that no one can refuse.

Folk monks are an unstable factor in social order, and recruiting them as a helpless temporary measure can indeed eliminate these risks to a certain extent - at least they are now in the system, eating public food, and being supervised by the public, which is better than them struggling at the bottom of society and killing the mortals around them one day.

But if we consider that Chen Tianming has always advocated "relaxing the control of cultivation", then normalizing the recruitment now is equivalent to telling the people all over the country that you also have the opportunity to become a cultivator. This will inevitably be extremely detrimental to the subsequent control of cultivation.

Between the current unrest and the potential for future unrest, even though everyone knew the latter would benefit Chen Tianming, they naturally had no choice but to support the Monk Competition. The overall strategy was to "maintain the current stability at all costs." As for the future...

Young Master Liu: So let me tell you, Lao Yan. That guy is not a good person. When you are with his daughter, you really have to be careful and cautious. It's so tiring.

[Conquering others with virtue]: Look at what you said. How could there be anyone in that circle who isn't smart? You make it seem like your Liu family is the good guys.

Young Master Liu: Why not? My family has been doing good deeds for generations! My father never participated in any party disputes and usually abstained from voting during factional conflicts.

[Conquer others with virtue]: Like a dogtail grass on the wall, right? Whichever way the wind blows, it leans in that direction.

[Mr. Liu]: Be prudent and protect yourself, do you understand?

[Conquer others with virtue]: I understand! Anyway, with you, the number one cultivator in the Dingbei Army, no one dares to challenge his status and power, so of course he is happy to sit on the throne.

Young Master Liu: Can you please stop talking about my dad? He's him, and I'm me! This tournament is being held in Yanjiao, and I was originally supposed to be assigned there to garrison, but there's been some trouble with the Onmyojis lately, and I have to be on standby at all times, so I'm sending Ye Jun over to help you.

[Conquering People with Virtue]: Why are you calling Ye Jun again? She hasn't even entered the Transformation Realm yet, and you're already ordering her around, preventing her from cultivating peacefully?

Young Master Liu: What? Aren't I afraid of you? If someone like Zhang Wentang or Li Wentang provokes you again, I can just swipe over with my sword and chop off his head. With Ye Jun's Xuanguang Ruler protecting me, no one will die.

【Conquer people with virtue】: So it was me who harmed Ye Jun.

[Mr. Liu]: That’s right, so you have to compensate her well.

[Conquer People with Virtue]: So what happened with the Onmyoji?
[Young Master Liu]: To explain this clearly, I have to start from the last battle in the Secret Realm of the Palace, when I killed half of the elite Onmyojis.

[Conquer People with Virtue]: Wait, how did you kill half? I killed 70%! So the Onmyoji has 120% of the manpower, right?

Young Master Liu: Come on, how can you say you killed 70% of them? Their overall losses are even less than 70%!
[Conquer people with virtue]: Who killed Sendō Kagamine?
Young Master Liu: Alas! Speaking of Sendō Kagamine's death, this incident really has something to do with you, Old Yan!

　The update was delayed due to the meeting in the morning!
