Chapter: 1504

Ye Chen happened to be strolling around without a care, intending to come watch Ito Nana's competition, but he didn't expect that Ito Nana would actually lose the first round.

However, he could see that Ito Nana lost the first round because she was troubled, so she couldn't focus on the match.

Originally, he thought Ito Nana could quickly adjust her state and then start to make up for it from the second round.

But he didn't expect that Ito Nana would actually quit.

Ito Nana looked at him, thinking about her teacher who had tried to take his own life, and suddenly a wave of indignation surged through her, an intense sense of indignation!

She gazed angrily at Ye Chen, shouting loudly: "You're a bad person! Why are you step by step forcing my teacher not to back down? Do you really want him to die just because he's proud?"

Ye Chen said expressionlessly: "Miss, I can see that you have a good upbringing and a refined temperament. You shouldn't be someone who doesn't care about morals. Just now, your teacher Yamamoto Ichimon and I had a conflict, and you were watching the whole time. I hope you'll reflect on this matter - am I forcing him to do something?"

"If he wasn't so arrogant and self-confident, if he didn't think himself superior and used those four words 'East Asian patient' to insult me, then how would I even recognize him?"

"We have an old saying in China, that human nature is subtle and profound! Are you suggesting, esteemed young lady, that a teacher-student relationship is more important than human nature to you?"

Ito Nana was immediately speechless when faced with Ye Chen's questioning.

First, she looked at Ye Chen as if lost for words, and then her face turned red, filled with shame and embarrassment.

From an emotional and rational perspective, everything Ye Chen said was correct. In the end, it all boils down to seeking revenge against one's teacher, and Ye Chen didn't make any mistakes.

Ashamed and regretful, Ito Nana could only bow deeply to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, I was impulsive in the moment. Please forgive me. At the same time, please don't treat me like a normal person."

Ye Chen then nodded slightly.

To some extent, he also understood Ito Nana's feelings.

After all, if it didn't concern oneself, people could be objective and just, but once one had a direct interest in the matter, it would be hard to remain completely objective.

It's just like when someone else's child makes a mistake, one always hopes they can get enough discipline. But when your own child makes a mistake, you're always hoping everyone will forgive them and give them another chance.

Yamamoto Ichiro is Ito Nana's teacher, and as the traditional culture of Japan and China has a profound connection, both nations emphasize respect for teachers and morality. Therefore, Ito Nana's respect and protection towards Yamamoto Ichiro are understandable.

However, this is just something that can be understood.

Ye Chen can understand her emotions, but he will absolutely not change any opinions or decisions because of her.

So, he spoke in a flat tone: "Ito Nana, as you're also participating in this competition, you need to respect the rules and not have negative thoughts about quitting. Otherwise, it would be disrespecting martial arts."

Ito Nana said dejectedly: "Ye Chen, your abilities have made me realize what true martial arts are, and compared to you, my own martial arts skills are only beginner's level, even inferior to that of a beginner. I don't feel confident enough to continue participating in the competition before you..."

Ye Chen shook his head: "Martial arts is not just about competing with others. It's also a culture and spirit. Can someone who lacks abilities still learn martial arts? And because your entrance level is far lower than mine, can you really give up on this competition without regret?"

Ye Chen paused for a moment before speaking in an even more serious tone: "If that's the case, I can only say that you don't truly love martial arts. You're just after ranking! When you think you're high-ranking, you'll love martial arts; when you think you're low-ranking, you'll betray martial arts! Ultimately, you're not a true warrior!"

Ito Nana's expression turned urgent as she blurted out: "No, no, it's not like that! I love martial arts! I'm a loyal martial artist too! It's just... it's just..." JrNovels.com
