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

Chapter 566: Chapter 177 Chen Jie: Nan Batian didn’t expect me to sneak attack, did he? (Please subscribe)_5

Chen Jie gazed at Huang Wan’er and asked, ”Is this really that important?”

Huang Wan’er replied, ”Mr. Chen, I can become your vassal, but I absolutely cannot become your burden. I hope that having me will make things better for you, not worse. Do you understand?”

Chen Jie looked at Huang Wan’er and realized that this woman’s thinking could be quite extreme at times, while at other times it was very progressive.

The words she was saying now, if they were to come from Su Yunjin’s mouth, would never be uttered because such thoughts were too shocking and unconventional.

If Chen Jie’s thinking wasn’t influenced by modern sensibilities, he probably wouldn’t have understood what Huang Wan’er was saying.

Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, ”I have a residence in the north of the city that no one knows about. You go there first. Once I’ve dealt with Nan Batian and stabilized the situation, you can return with me to White Tiger Hall. How does that sound?”

Huang Wan’er responded, ”Really?”

Chen Jie replied, ”Really.”

Huang Wan’er said, ”Then, okay.”

Chen Jie then asked, ”Alright, do you have any gold, silver, or valuables? You don’t need to take these clothes and bedding; I’ll have someone prepare new ones there.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Wan’er said, ”Hmm, no, there is nothing but some silver notes.”

Huang Wan’er then added, ”Let’s not take them either. Leaving them here might also confuse Nan Batian.”

Chen Jie agreed, ”Alright.”

Saying that, Huang Wan’er looked at Chen Jie and said, ”Mr. Chen, you won’t turn into someone like Nan Batian in the future, will you?”

”Hmm?”

Chen Jie was baffled by her question, feeling confused. Was there any comparison between him and Nan Batian?

Huang Wan’er shook her head and said, ”Hmm, it’s just my own overthinking. Mr. Chen, I entrust myself and him to you from now on.”

Huang Wan’er touched her belly.

Chen Jie immediately scooped up Huang Wan’er in a princess carry and assured her, ”Don’t worry, I will certainly treat you well in the future.”

With that, Chen Jie carried Huang Wan’er out the door and saw Du Juan and Xiao Hu standing outside in the courtyard. Du Juan’s eyes widened when she saw Chen Jie carrying Huang Wan’er out.

She was so surprised that she couldn’t speak.

Chen Jie nodded to Xiao Hu, ”Time to go.”

After those words, Chen Jie leaped straight onto the rooftop and disappeared swiftly with a use of ”Thunder Step.”

Xiao Hu then said to Du Juan, ”Apologies, miss.”

He promptly scooped up Du Juan. Du Juan almost screamed in shock; it was the first time she had been carried by a man. The feeling made her want to cry out, and she felt her face flush with heat.

Xiao Hu, however, was unaware of all this. He didn’t place much importance on matters between men and women, otherwise he wouldn’t have been indifferent to the advances from Cuiju back at home, a girl who was very skilled in that regard.

But Xiao Hu only cared about cultivation, completely oblivious to romantic relationships.

Du Juan, however, was different. In the bloom of her youth, just having come of age, she felt completely weak when Xiao Hu picked her up.

Her face flushed, she couldn’t utter a word, while Xiao Hu, paying no heed, used his full Inner Strength and leaped with a whoosh onto the roof. After several rapid movements, he disappeared from sight, while the guards who were chatting hadn’t even realized they had just been bypassed.

Actually, it wasn’t surprising. The guards, all four of which were in the Refining Body Realm, couldn’t really hope to stop two Energy Transformation Masters — it would simply be a joke to try.

...

At the East City Gate.

Yelu, along with Qimu Ge, hurried to the East City Gate and immediately ordered a lockdown of the East City. At the same time, he dispatched people to pursue Sun Tiechui and the others. But all of Sun’s group were skilled in martial arts, lightly encumbered and left no trace behind, quickly disappearing into the wild mountains beyond the city.

Even with Yelu’s cavalry, they couldn’t catch them; it was a futile effort.

Yelu listened to the reports from various units, his face filled with rage, while Qimu Ge was questioning people at the East Gate about the situation.

How had the East Gate been breached so easily, with almost no resistance?

Nan Batian, upon receiving the message that Chen Jiusi had switched to using the South Gate, was so enraged that he led his men on a chase. Originally, the East Gate was the most heavily manned, with the formidable force of more than seven hundred men, which included Qin Ying and the three Tiger and Leopard brothers on guard. It seemed impossible for anyone to break through quickly.

However, the moment Nan Batian ordered the transfer of all his troops from the East City, the defenses there were left empty. Just then, Sun Tiechui and a masked Energy Transformation Master, leading over a hundred skilled fighters, stormed the East City Gate, utterly dumbfounding the defenders.

The ones left at the East City Gate were merely some Government Officials, whose strength was only at the Refining Body level, and who numbered no more than twenty. They faced the onslaught of two Energy Transformation leaders guiding over a hundred Great Han men, the least of which were in the Skin Refining Realm.

To resist?

The Government Officials admitted they dared not. They could only hide under tables, shivering in fear.

Luckily, Sun Tiechui and the others didn’t come to kill but merely finished off two stubborn officials before pushing open the city gate and striding away brazenly.

A Government Official was then brought before Yelu, who looked at the quivering man before him and asked, ”So you were in charge?”

”I am the Zao Ban Chief, Zhang Song, at your service, Lord!”

A Zao Ban Chief didn’t hold much presence, as the Zao Ban was meant for guard duty, which made the Zao Ban Chief not much of an imposing figure. The only notable figure in the government who had any clout was the fast class Chief, Wu Hong.

Qimu Ge said, ”Master, he watched Sun Tiechui leave the whole time, and he says Sun Tiechui left a message for you.”

Yelu, hearing this, said, ”He left me a message, huh? Such arrogance. What did he say?”

At that moment, Zhang Song trembled and stammered, ”M-my Lord, he said to thank you for all the care over the years, or else they wouldn’t have been able to deliver the Zoroastrian Sect’s weapons on time!”
