Chen Jie said, ”Of course I’m courteous, I, Chen Jiusi, always do what’s right. I just want to ask you, during the time I’ve been in charge, has there been a single person under the rule of White Tiger Hall whose life has become worse than before? Has anyone been oppressed by my White Tiger Hall?”

”You all ask yourselves, aren’t their lives better than before? I don’t know what the Zoroastrian Sect is like, nor do I know what Daqian is like. All I know is, whoever can bring a good life to the common Han people, that’s who I’ll help.”

”So, do you think I’m a bad guy, or a good guy?”

On hearing these words, all three black-clothed beauties were taken aback, then they all spoke up in unison, ”You’re a weirdo!”

Chen Jie said, ”Weird? In what way?”

All three answered together, ”Can’t put our finger on it, just odd, not exactly good, but not bad either, it feels like you don’t have a stance.”

Chen Jie said, ”Maybe, let’s just say I consider the lives of the common folk. Since ancient times, emperors come and go, but in the end, the people’s suffering is constant, whether an empire rises or falls.”

”Alright, enough of that, let’s get reacquainted. My name is Chen Jie, also known as Jiu Si, Hall Master of White Tiger Hall from the Fishing Guild. May I have the honor of knowing the names of you two ladies!”

The black-clothed beauty said, ”Han He!”

The white-clothed beauty said, ”Han Lian.”

”I am Sun Tiechui...”

”We weren’t asking you...”

Chen Jie said mercilessly, leaving Sun Tiechui glaring at him. Are you just focusing on flirting?

Next, Chen Jie got to know the two beauties briefly.

The black-clothed beauty, named Han He, was the elder sister, while the white-clothed beauty, named Han Lian, was the younger sister. It was Han Lian who had gone to the forest to assassinate Liu Song that day. The one adept at socializing and managing Yihong House was the elder sister, Han He.

The elder sister was fiery and proud, the younger sister quiet and icy.

The elder sister was good at socializing, charming in every way, whereas the younger sister only knew cultivation, a kind of introverted and naturally cute person.

And here, the one with the highest position was the elder sister, Han He.

She was the direct disciple of Undying Bird Han Miaozhen, one of the Four Great Dharma Kings of the Zoroastrian Sect, and so was her younger sister, Han Lian.

As for Sun Tiechui, he was a Branch Leader from Mianshui County.

However, Han He and the others were special envoys sent from above, and even with her status as a disciple of one of the Four Great Dharma Kings, Undying Bird Han Miaozhen, she ranked much higher than a county Branch Leader.

Therefore, the upcoming negotiation was primarily handled by the elder sister, Han He, because the younger sister was not skilled in conversation, while Sun Tiechui was a subordinate.

But Chen Jie took quite a liking to the younger sister.

This girl looked to be overly protected, naive to the ways of the world. Although she appeared cold, she was actually inexperienced and easily swayed, also possessing a certain natural ditziness.

What was most delightful was that she looked exactly like her sister. Chen Jie had met Red Face Han He several times and thus knew her well. But now, with Han Lian showing such a contrasting cuteness, he couldn’t help but take a few extra looks.

Thump thump thump...

Han He tapped on the table, looking at Chen Jie, ”Hey, take your eyes off my sister.”

Coming back to his senses on hearing that, Chen Jie saw that Han Lian was blushing with social anxiety, at a loss for how to interact with a stranger without resorting to violence.

Chen Jie collected himself and said, ”Heh, Miss Ah He, you misunderstand. I just find it strange that Miss Alian looks so different from the assassin in the forest that day. I certainly have no improper thoughts.”

”Hmph, you better not have any improper thoughts, or I won’t let you off easily!”

Han He glared at Chen Jie, then turned to Han Lian, ”Do you understand to never see him alone in the future?”

”Ah—Oh, okay, sister.”

Han Lian, a bit startled, immediately replied.

Chen Jie said, ”Well, Ah He, Alian, like twin lotus flowers, that’s really a nice pair of names.”

Han He replied, ”Hey, don’t be so familiar; we’re still in an adversarial position right now.”

Chen Jie said, ”Heh, Miss Ah He is right. Okay, we’ve chatted enough about personal matters, let’s talk business.”

Han He said, ”Indeed, it’s time to discuss serious matters.”

After that, Han He asked, ”Chen Jiusi, how do you plan to resolve past issues?”

Chen Jie said, ”We didn’t really have any conflicts to start with. How about we just cancel all past grievances?”

Han He said, ”Hmm, okay, it’s settled then. We’ll cancel all past grievances. Now that that’s settled, I’d like to make a deal with you.”

”A deal?”

Chen Jie looked surprised, narrowing his eyes, ”What kind of deal?”

Han He said, ”You’ve seen it yourself, we have a batch of military supplies here that need to be transported out of the city.”

Chen Jie said, ”Well, then transport them, right?”

Han He said, ”We can’t. Our transport routes have been cut off by the Mulan people, and they’ve set up many checkpoints at the city gates. We can’t get our stuff out.”

”And most importantly, we need to transport it to the Northern territory immediately once it’s out, but we don’t have a ship. And about two-thirds of our military supplies are still unfinished; we need a few more days to complete them.”

Hearing this, Chen Jie narrowed his eyes, ”So you want me to help you transport these military supplies out of the city?”

Han He confirmed, ”Exactly!”

Chen Jie frowned, ”This is very risky, you know. Helping the Zoroastrian Sect transport military supplies, if discovered, could be considered colluding with Zoroastrianism and intent to rebel. Darugachi Mansion would definitely spare no effort to annihilate me!”

”Especially now that the court is sending Inspectors; it’s a period of high pressure. One misstep, and I could lose everything. My whole family would be caught up in this. The risk is too great!”

Chen Jie looked troubled; getting caught colluding with the Zoroastrian Sect and plotting rebellion would be his end!

Han He frowned upon hearing this, while Han Lian pursed her lips, and Sun Tiechui’s brows knitted tightly. The only option they could think of was Chen Jiusi. If he refused to help, they would truly be out of options. Should they really abandon the plan?

But what about the soldiers in the North? They needed weapons.

The three of them were worried when suddenly Chen Jie opened his mouth, ”Actually, this isn’t impossible to do, but you’ll have to agree to a condition from me!”

As he spoke, Chen Jie’s eyes wandered over Han He and Han Lian, lingering particularly on Han Lian, looking at her several times.

Instantly on guard, Han He asked, ”What, what are you planning to do?”
