Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 257: Chapter 126 Wu Zhong: What? The hero you mentioned is named Chen 94?

”Really?”

Old Li skeptically looked at Wu Zhong. The old fellow was always very low-profile.

Wu Zhong said, ”Really, just a few encounters.”

After saying that, Wu Zhong fell silent. His heart, however, could not calm down for a long time. Even now, he couldn’t believe that the hero spoken of by others was Chen Jiusi.

Meanwhile, as he remained silent, the other people from the White Tiger Hall were discussing the battle from the day before and the achievements of Chen Jiusi in fighting Golden Saber Feng San with a spear.

Golden Saber Feng San’s strength had been acknowledged by an Energy Transformation Master. Chen Jie’s ability to challenge Feng San with a spear showed that he was also a mighty warrior in the Iron Bone Realm. Moreover, at his age, the future possibility of entering the Energy Transformation Realm wasn’t unimaginable either!

Everyone was discussing Chen Jie.

At this time, Wu Zhong listened quietly, the corners of his mouth curling up involuntarily.

It was as if he was a relative whose kin had attained great achievements. That feeling, while listening in the audience, was also one of shared glory.

Just as the crowd was engaged in heated discussions, someone outside shouted, ”Fifth Master is here!”

Instantly, everyone’s gaze converged on the door, and then they saw the Hall Master’s special carriage slowly approach.

An elder of White Tiger Hall, the Hall Master’s personal guard, Peng Fu, drove the carriage himself to the gates of the White Tiger Hall.

Seeing this scene, the disciples of White Tiger Hall discussed fervently.

”Hey, did you see? Fifth Master now uses the Hall Master’s carriage when he goes out; this is the Hall Master’s favor.”

”Not only that, look, even the driver is Uncle Fu. Even Old Master and Second Master don’t have this treatment!”

”Isn’t it? I think our future in White Tiger Hall might belong to Fifth Master. Don’t forget, the Hall Master has handed the ’Stone Breaking Hand’ over to him.”

”Exactly, the one who learns the Stone Breaking Hand will lead White Tiger Hall!”

Hearing this, everyone discussed excitedly. Just then, someone said, ”Look quickly, Fifth Master is getting off.”

Peng Fu fetched a mounting block and personally opened the carriage curtain for Chen Jie.

”Uncle Fu, you’re overdoing it.”

Peng Fu said, ”The Hall Master has instructed so. Your contributions deserve this honor; just accept it.”

Chen Jie said, ”This, my father-in-law is truly making it hard for me.”

Peng Fu smiled, ”To achieve great things, you must be able to bear the effects that come with it. The Hall Master values you.”

Saying this, Peng Fu opened the carriage curtain, and Chen Jie stepped out.

Everyone looked at Chen Jie as he greeted with a fist salute, ”Greetings, Fifth Master.”

Chen Jie still on the carriage returned the greeting, ”Greetings to all my brothers.”

Then Chen Jie alighted from the carriage and as he passed through the crowd, immediately people greeted, ”Fifth Master.”

”Fifth Master.”

”Fifth Master.”

Chen Jie nodded in response to each one.

During this time, Wu Zhong, who stood among the crowd, did not approach but watched the now seemingly transformed Chen Jie and nodded quietly to himself.

He really is a distinguished figure in the town.

At this moment, Old Li said, ”Hey, Old Wu, Fifth Master has come over. You’re from the same town, quickly go forward to greet him, strike a rapport.”

Wu Zhong, however, shook his head and even took a step back.

Nevertheless, Chen Jie caught sight of Wu Zhong at that moment, paused, and quickly walked over.

Old Li immediately greeted when he saw Chen Jie, ”Fifth Master.”

Chen Jie nodded in acknowledgment and quickly approached Wu Zhong, smiling, ”Uncle Zhong, you’re here too.”

This call of ”Uncle Zhong” left Old Li and Old Liu stunned. What was going on? Wasn’t it said that they weren’t very close?

Wu Zhong also didn’t expect that Chen Jie, reaching such a status now, would still acknowledge someone like him, a poor and useless uncle from the countryside.

But when he saw Chen Jie’s sincere smile, he laughed and said, ”Jiu Si, it’s been over a month, and you’ve gained such prestige, I almost didn’t recognize you.”

Chen Jie stepped forward, ”It’s all thanks to my brother’s support. By the way, uncle, how is my master’s health?”

”Old Master is very robust. He just always talks about you.”

”Ah, I’ve been too busy lately. I promised to visit the master when I had some free time.”

”How is my aunt?”

”She’s fine too, just more naggy. I came to town, and she told me not to waste the trip, to stop by the Yihong House, ah...”

Chen Jie smiled knowingly, then said, ”Uncle, you haven’t seen Brother Hong yet, right?”

”No, not yet.”

Hearing this, Chen Jie said, ”Don’t rush off today. After everything is done, tonight come to my house, call Brother Hong, and we can have a few drinks together. Ruirui probably misses you too.”

”Is that so? Haha, I do miss that girl a bit too.”

Wu Zhong also nodded, smiling.

The two of them chatted nonchalantly as if no one else was around. Just then, suddenly someone said, ”The Hall Master is here!”

Chen Jie said, ”Uncle, I have to go up.”

Wu Zhong said, ”Go ahead, don’t delay the important matters.”

Chen Jie turned and nodded to Old Liu and Old Li, the two Fishery Managers, before heading toward the distant platform.

At this moment, Old Liu and Old Li both looked at Wu Zhong and said, ”Old Wu, didn’t you say your relationship with him was just average?”

Wu Zhong replied, ”Yes, quite average.”

”Then why does he call you uncle and invites you to his house as a guest?”

The two gritted their teeth as they spoke.

Wu Zhong laughed, ”Ha, my fellow brothers, really, it’s quite average. It’s just that my father-in-law is his master, he calls me uncle, calls my spouse aunt, and even lived in my house for a while, eating and living together. That’s all the connection there is.”

”This... isn’t that a bit much! Isn’t that just like a nephew?”

Old Liu bit the inside of his cheek as he spoke.

Wu Zhong said, ”Better than a nephew, just a bit less than my own son.”

”I...”

Old Liu and Old Li turned away, cursing under their breath, feeling that Wu Zhong, the darn smart alec, had really fooled them.

Meanwhile, on the platform above, Peng Shizhong led the Three Great Vajra, with the Twelve Eagle Guards, Uncle Fu, and other key personnel following.

The crowd moved to the platform, with Peng Shizhong walking ahead.

Behind him stood Feng Xuan, Zheng Chuan, Lu Rong, Chen Jie, Zhou Chu.
