Chapter 1048: Chapter 258: Ni Wenjun’s Generous Gift (Part 3)

Whether she got married or had children, after all, it has been two years.

Chen Jie was drinking at the moment, but his eyes caught sight of Su Yunjin pulling Third Miss Hua over here and handing her a pot of wine.

The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but lift slightly.

Just then, he saw Third Miss Hua walking over nervously, while Ni Wenjun was still lost in the memories of the past, unable to extricate himself.

At this moment, Third Miss Hua came over, saw Ni Wenjun, and instantly froze.

Her eyes turned red.

Chen Jie glanced at her and said with a smirk, ”Ahem... why stand there foolishly? Go and pour Master Ni some wine.”

Third Miss Hua’s hand stiffened upon hearing this and then shot a fierce glare at Chen Jie.

Su Yunjin, seeing this from a distance, couldn’t help but laugh, ”Husband, you’re so bad.”

At this moment, Third Miss Hua dared to be angry but not speak out, and then she went to Ni Wenjun’s side, picked up the wine pot, and poured him a glass.

Ni Wenjun was initially lost in his recollections and hadn’t looked up. However, seeing someone pouring him wine, he glanced at the person’s hand.

But upon looking, Ni Wenjun immediately froze.

It was a pair of hands white as jade, but there was a faint scar in the form of a plum blossom on the tiger’s mouth of the hand.

He remembered these hands.

At that moment, he suddenly looked up, and instantly met eyes with Third Miss Hua; for a moment, both of them were stunned, unable to speak.

However, they couldn’t bear to look away as if their eyes were intertwined.

At this moment, in their eyes, besides each other, there was no one else!

Chen Jie saw this and quietly got up, then walked to a place not far away, seeing Su Yunjin watching the lively scene and laughing, ”Let’s give those two some space.”

”As the younger brother, I’m the one who has to worry about my big brother and sister-in-law’s romantic life, unbelievable.”

Su Yunjin rolled her eyes at Chen Jie and said, ”Husband~”

Chen Jie laughed, ”Haha, alright, alright, let’s go back inside. Cuiju, go and tidy up the east courtyard; it looks like Brother Ni won’t be leaving today after all, hahaha...”

...

The next day in the early morning.

Chen Jie practiced three sets of boxing in the courtyard, covered in sweat, only then saw Ni Wenjun coming out from the east courtyard, looking full of vigor.

Obviously, yesterday went very well.

Chen Jie, seeing this, said, ”Brother Ni, you really seem filled with joy today from a happy event.”

Ni Wenjun waved his hand and replied, ”Jiu Si, stop teasing your brother. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even know how to meet Third Lady; you are really my benefactor in this matter!”

Chen Jie responded with a laugh, ”Haha, you’re speaking too formally, brother. We’re brothers, after all. I already have two wives, and my child will soon be born. Seeing you always so lonely, I don’t feel quite right in my heart.”

Ni Wenjun said, ”You brat, always teasing your brother.”

Chen Jie said, ”By the way, is sister-in-law going with you to the appointment this time, or what?”

Ni Wenjun replied, ”I have to ask for your favor in this matter, brother. I’m going out for training, and life in the army is quite hard. Moreover, it’s a group of men; it’s not suitable for Third Lady to be with me. So, I’d like her to stay here with you, and it would be perfect for her to look after sister-in-law. What do you think?”

Chen Jie replied, ”That’s great! My wife said she hasn’t spent enough time with sister-in-law yet. It’s perfect for them to keep each other company.”

”Great, then I’ll leave it up to you, brother.”

”No need to be so formal, brother. What’s mine is yours, except I can’t give my wife to you. Everything else you can have!”

Ni Wenjun laughed at this, ”You rascal.”

The two joked around; actually, leaving Third Miss Hua here was beneficial for Chen Jie too. After all, with Third Miss Hua here, Ni Wenjun would have to come by often to check on things, which would certainly make his wife and family safer.

This was equivalent to buying an insurance policy for his wife and family.

Ni Wenjun said, ”Jiu Si, let’s leave the family matters at that for now. Let’s discuss serious matters. How should I go about recruiting soldiers next?”

Chen Jie replied, ”Brother Ni, isn’t it simple? But before that, I have to ask you, are you looking for a group with average combat ability but high loyalty, or do you want to recruit a group with strong combat skills, however, needing some thunderous means to subdue them?”

Ni Wenjun asked, ”What’s the difference?”

Chen Jie said, ”The first type with average combat ability and high loyalty is like a blank canvas we can paint on as we wish.”

”However, if you want those with high combat skills, they may not be loyal; they’ll only submit if you can control them.”

Ni Wenjun replied, ”Hehe, then I’ll definitely choose the second kind. What’s there that I can’t control? I want to see just how tough they are.”

Chen Jie said, ”Hehe, simple, just listen to me, big brother. Today we go to Qianjiang Prefecture, put up notices, and recruit guild disciples from Qianjiang Prefecture into the army. Grant the Energy Transformation realm the position of Hundred Households, the Holding Core realm the position of Vice Thousand Households, the Wolf Smoke realm the position of Thousand Households, and the Rainbow realm the position of Colonel!”

Ni Wenjun replied, ”Jiu Si, will there be anyone coming? After all, who doesn’t want to be free and unrestrained? Who wants to join the army and be managed?”

Chen Jie laughed, ”Hehe, don’t want to? Do they have a choice? Brother Ni, do you know how my Azure Dragon Guard was formed?”

Ni Wenjun was taken aback. He knew about Chen Jie’s Azure Dragon Guard, a three-thousand-strong elite unit. Honestly, he was somewhat jealous.

Chen Jie said, ”It consists entirely of the elites from all major sects in the Huangzhou Prefecture, including elders and vice alliance leaders, with the lowest being core disciples of various sects. With them forming an army, how could its combat power be poor if managed well?”
