Chapter 2056 How to Tame a Naughty Boy 04

It's not like Ji Laizhi hasn't been praised for his quick comprehension, but the comments always include criticism, and it's rare to hear genuine praise.

He lowered his eyes to look at the cracks on the ground, and only stepped back impatiently after being touched on the head several times.

"Of course I am a genius, do you need me to tell you that?"

Ji Laizhi looked up at Jinchen, with her ponytail tied up high and a long sword in her arms, full of pride and ambition.

When he spoke, he still rejected it, almost stubbornly, "How can you, a teacher, supervise the practice? What does it have to do with you?"

Most of the instructors in Jianzhuang only teach lessons and social skills to avoid the students becoming illiterate martial arts masters in the future.

Jin Chen's lips curved up, "I accepted your grandfather's commission. How to teach and what to teach are my business."

Ji Laizhi can never win an argument with this guy.

He forced himself to extinguish the hope in his heart. The young man never gave up. "As long as you stay in Guanyun Court for one day, I will always make you lose."

After saying that, she turned around and wanted to leave, but Jinchen grabbed her collar from behind.

"Rest for a quarter of an hour, drink some tea, and continue practicing later."

Jinchen's tone was unquestionable, and it came from behind. The sudden feeling of being controlled made Ji Laizhi's scalp tingle, and he felt a weird and unfamiliar discomfort.

Ji Laizhi swore that he would make this man fall hard!

The next day, study.

The young man was leaning in a wooden armchair, his wrist guard banging against the table, making a loud noise, and he was not at all calm.

When seeing Jinchen sitting at the desk and opening a book, Ji Laizhi suddenly leaned on his elbow and said with a smile: "I dreamed of you falling into a cesspool last night, so today I have prepared a small gift to get rid of the bad luck."

Jinchen was not annoyed when he heard that, he looked up calmly.

Ji Laizhi slowly reached out to him, and when he was not paying attention, he suddenly opened the iron cage hidden under the table.

A small green-scaled snake jumped out of the cage, with its venomous fangs bared, and rushed towards Jinchen's neck.

This time it's safe! Ji Laizhi thought, his lips curled up maliciously to reveal his fangs, but the smile suddenly froze on his face.

Jinchen actually caught the snake with his bare hands!

Ji Laizhi didn't even see clearly what Jinchen did. In a few moments, the green-scaled poisonous snake coiled obediently in his hand, hissing and spitting out its tongue.

Ji Laizhi: “…”

Something is not going well.

Jin Chen said coldly: "The Green Scaled Viper is one of the six poisonous snakes in the Central Plains. If bitten by it, you will vomit blood and die within half an hour."

With every word he spoke, his aura grew colder, and Ji Laizhi could only feel the chill creeping up along the soles of his feet.

"Ji Laizhi, you don't have to study today."

Ji Laizhi was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

What happened next was not at all under Ji Laizhi's control.

Jin Chen grabbed Ji Laizhi's hands without saying anything, pulled out the belt from his waist despite his struggle, tied his wrists up and hung them above his head.

"Jinchen! What are you doing!?"

Ji Laizhi struggled desperately and tried to kick but was easily caught. All his martial arts skills seemed to be useless against Jinchen.

He realized the disparity in power between them, and was filled with panic.

After a moment, Ji Laizhi was hung at the door of the study, his ankles tied together, his toes just a few inches off the ground but unable to touch it, and his whole body supported only by his bound hands.

Ji Laizhi had to use his internal strength to support his core, and he was in extreme shock and confusion.

He had suffered so many injuries since he was a child, and it was common for him to have bloody heads. Later, he got into trouble everywhere and was often beaten severely.

But it has never been so humiliating!

"Jinchen! You can kill me or chop me up as you please, but why do you hang me up?"

Ji Laizhi's face was filled with rage, and the cinnabar at the corners of his eyes became even more radiant, turning his youthful appearance into that of a voluptuous ghost.

Jinchen stood in front of him with a ruler in his hand, staring at Ji Laizhi indifferently, with a feeling of oppression lingering around him the whole time.

"You deserve discipline, and now it happens to be my responsibility."

The ruler lifted Ji Laizhi's chin, and the fingers with thin calluses pressed on the birthmark on the back of Ji Laizhi's neck. From a distance, it looked like Jinchen was hugging him in his arms.

The closer the distance was, the harder it was for Ji Laizhi to breathe, and he trembled slightly unconsciously.

"I still have to recite the Jianghu Records tomorrow, so I won't fight with my hands."

Jin Chen said in a cold tone, and moved the ruler downwards, "Give me thirty strokes, and count them yourself."

Ji Laizhi was shocked: "You dare...ah!"

There was a muffled sound and then a snap.

Ji Laizhi had lived for eighteen years, and this was the first time he was punished by being spanked with a ruler!

"Jinchen! I won't let you go...ah!"

Jin Chen applied a little more force and said in a deep voice, "If you keep talking, I'll hit you fifty times."

Ji Laizhi held back his curse, just wanting to quickly end this humiliating lesson.

"Thirty... that's thirty, hurry up!"

The thin gown could not protect him from anything, and the ruler came down hard and fast, always changing direction.

Ji Laizhi could still count stubbornly at the beginning, but later his voice became hoarse and he was in great pain.

In a trance, Ji Laizhi inexplicably recalled that scene from his childhood.

There was an extremely dangerous mechanism array in Jianzhuang, and he and Ji Siyao couldn't help but go to see it. After Ji Yuanshan found out, he gave Ji Siyao a severe lesson. That day was also very tragic.

At that time, he was very young and didn't quite understand why his father only scolded his younger brother. Did he not care about him or did he spoil him too much as his uncles said?

"Sixteen... woo..."

Ji Laizhi was brought back to his senses and couldn't help but let out a cry.

When Jinchen heard the faint cry, he stopped suddenly and pressed the back of Ji Laizhi's neck again.

Ji Laizhi shrank suddenly, opened his wet eyelashes and looked at him, with a trace of panic and helplessness in his eyes.

"What else do you want to do?"

Jin Chen's tone softened, but it was still flat. "How many times did you hit me?"

Ji Laizhi wrinkled his nose for no apparent reason, feeling wronged for no reason, "Fifteen times..."

"What should I call you?" he asked again, taking out a handkerchief from his bosom.

Ji Laizhi held his breath, bit the tip of his tongue, and didn't want to shout at all.

But my butt still hurts, this guy is not someone to be trifled with.

"...Sir." Ji Laizhi squeezed out the honorific from his throat and turned his head away, refusing to look at Jinchen.

Jinchen responded softly, put the ruler aside, folded a handkerchief and wiped the moisture from the corners of Ji Laizhi's eyes.

Compared to the previous reprimand, the action was gentle and a little itchy.

Ji Laizhi stepped back uncomfortably, but since there was no force applied to his body, it was better for him to stay still.

He was silent, staring at Jinchen blankly, still very confused, "Why don't you fight?"

Jinchen lowered his eyes and took out a bottle of antidote from his messy clothes.

"You brought the antidote for the green-scaled snake venom and you are going to give it to me, right?"

Ji Laizhi: “…”

Ji Laizhi reacted for a few moments and changed the subject, "Then why did you hit me?"

Jinchen raised his hand and touched Ji Laizhi's head with a gentle tone.

"I can indulge your occasional mischief, but don't go too far. Secondly, calling in the Jade Scale Snake is not entirely the reason why you got beaten."

Ji Laizhi's eyes became even more confused, and he even forgot to resist, "Because of what?"

Jin Chen hooked the snake to show him, and held the pattern on its tail. He said in a cold voice, "This is a young Jade Scale King Cobra. It is more poisonous than the Jade Scale King Cobra, and there is almost no antidote."

"If you dare to keep it in an ordinary snake cage, you will be bitten to death if you are not careful."

Ji Laizhi was stunned. Thinking of the scene of himself catching a snake from a night stall and putting it into a cage last night, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

"That thief boss lied to me!"

Jin Chen tapped his head gently, "Distinguishing people's hearts and respecting teachers are all things you need to learn."

Ji Laizhi knew he was in the wrong, so he lowered his head and kept silent.
