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

Chapter 1519: Chapter 346: Chen Jie: Father-in-law, You’re Really Quite Good to Me

As soon as the three conditions were stated, Chen Jie agreed to them.

Including the most stringent third condition, that as long as Ruyang King is alive, Chen Jiusi will never rebel.

Chen Jie agreed to this point.

In fact, he had his own considerations. Chen Jie agreed not to rebel as long as Ruyang King was alive, but it didn’t mean he wouldn’t resist. If the court sent an army to suppress him, he couldn’t possibly not resist. Resisting doesn’t amount to rebellion.

Moreover, not rebelling is quite simple. As the saying goes, ”The bird that sticks its head out gets shot.”

Chen Jie is not very powerful right now, so his policy is to stockpile resources, build fortifications, and proclaim himself king slowly.

This policy is Chen Jie’s current basic strategy and he can take advantage of this time to improve himself and strengthen his abilities.

As for when his power grows and he has the strength to devour the world, Chen Jie would then have another talk with Ruyang King.

Some may ask, without rebelling, how to expand territory? Chen Jie has two solutions for this.

First, although Chen Jie cannot rebel, there’s no rule saying Ni Wenjun cannot. Ni Wenjun could attack cities and seize land, and as for who manages the land afterward, that’s Ni Wenjun’s business and has nothing to do with Ruyang King.

After all, it’s not Chen Jiusi who seized the land.

Then there is a second method. Chen Jie promised Ruyang King not to rebel or actively attack the court, but it doesn’t mean he can’t attack other rebels.

If other rebels occupy the court’s territory, Chen Jiusi can seize it and take it for himself. There’s nothing wrong with that.

In line with this, Chen Jie can also employ a strategy similar to nurturing bandits, like fostering two powerful bandits to attack the court, and then he can seize the land from them.

This is both feasible and actionable.

So for the condition from Ruyang King that, as long as he lives, Chen Jiusi should not rebel, Chen Jie agreed.

After all, he indeed doesn’t have the strength for an open rebellion, and this condition is a long-term one. If Chen Jie completes the first two conditions, even if this one isn’t fulfilled, he could still marry the Commandery Princess.

Thus, Chen Jie did not refuse and directly agreed.

As for the other two conditions, they actually aren’t too demanding. The first is for Chen Jie to marry in a legitimate and grand manner, with eight sedan chairs. That’s proper. Should the Commandery Princess really be sneaked in like a concubine through the back door?

Even if the Commandery Princess agreed, Chen Jiusi wouldn’t. One must have a conscience. It’s not overboard to say she is marrying beneath her status, right?

She’s making such a big sacrifice; what’s wrong with giving her a grand wedding?

Chen Jie agreed with this point and thought it should be done; it’s just a matter of spending some money and effort. Why not fulfill it?

Therefore, the first condition is basically not even a condition but an obligation that Chen Jie should fulfill, and an explanation to the Commandery Princess.

The second condition is that he must reach the Melt God Realm to qualify to marry Zhao Ya.

This condition sounds challenging, but Chen Jie is quite confident about it, primarily due to his own talent. Entering the Molten Furnace Realm means reaching the Middle Melting Furnace Realm, and as long as he doesn’t fall, he will inevitably become a master of the Melt God Realm.

Moreover, Chen Jie is quite satisfied with his progress in advancement so far, and he has his own plans for his growth, so he is confident in reaching the Melt God Realm.

Ruyang King’s intention behind this request is clear: such a man would not let his daughter marry someone without qualities. Currently, Chen Jie’s power is not strong; what he can rely on is his age and Martial Arts Cultivation.

And masters of the Melt God Realm are among the top-tier in the world. Though not as prestigious as the Emperor, it wouldn’t be considered a waste for his daughter, hence Ruyang King made such a demand.

Only the most outstanding men are worthy of his daughter; this is the thought of every father.

Moreover, Ruyang King also needs time to calmly consider these matters. Right now, it’s impossible for Chen Jiusi to take his daughter away, so he set a condition, assuming that with Chen Jiusi’s talent, entering the Melt God Realm would take five years.

Five years is enough to change a lot of things. What if, by then, Yaya doesn’t like Chen Jiusi anymore?

What if, by then, Chen Jiusi has died in battle?

Then there’s no need to marry Yaya to him.

Of course, if five years later he does reach the Melt God Realm, Ruyang King would be willing for him to marry Yaya.

After all, five years is enough time to test a person’s heart.

In general, Ruyang King intentionally set high conditions, making it so Chen Jie couldn’t just take Yaya away.

As a man, Ruyang King knew well that things obtained easily are often not cherished.

Now the Commandery Princess is deeply in love with Chen Jiusi, and breaking them up is no longer an option, but he doesn’t want Chen Jiusi to regard Zhao Ya as cheap.

While Zhao Ya is blinded by love, he isn’t.

Therefore, he must hold this line and prevent his daughter from falling into an abyss.

People say Chaghan Timur is cold-blooded and ruthless, but as a father, this is all he can do.

Perhaps Yaya doesn’t understand his painstaking efforts now, but one day, she will understand his well-intentioned heart as a father.
