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

At such a time, quite a few people know him. If he hides himself, he will be looked down upon. Chen Jie’s current strength no longer allows him to be low-key. Below the Melt God Realm, he could develop quietly, but once past the Melt God Realm, he becomes a focus of the court’s attention, and there is no possibility of developing quietly anymore.

So Chen Jie openly admitted it.

Upon hearing the name Mianshui Chen Jiusi, many in the scene exclaimed: ”He is the one who severely injured the Demon Slayer Monk, Lord Chen Jiusi!”

”So young indeed!”

Within the military formation, King Qi Li Siqi squinted as he spoke to the Ruyang King beside him: ”Cha Han, your son-in-law is quite something.”

The Ruyang King replied coldly, ”Hmph, your son-in-law.”

Li Siqi said, ”If you are willing to let go, I would gladly take him in as my son-in-law, even though my daughter is only seven!”

The Ruyang King responded coldly upon hearing this: ”Li Siqi, enough with the nonsense, are you going to fight me first?”

Li Siqi chuckled, ”You’re already injured like this, a spent strong crossbow, what’s the point in fighting me. However, Cha Han, realistically speaking, Tuotuo probably has ill intentions this time, be mindful in what you do, better to align with me.”

The Ruyang King said, ”Although Tuotuo is cunning, his heart is still with the court, why should I align with you?”

Li Siqi then said, ”Do you know Tuotuo wants to cut down the vassals?”

The Ruyang King replied, ”I know.”

”You know and yet you’re so calm. You and I are the two biggest Vassal Kings outside. If he’s cutting down vassals, isn’t it directed at us?”

The Ruyang King frowned, ”I am a Prince of the court, stationed here by command, he wouldn’t dare act too much against me, otherwise he wouldn’t get past the Emperor.”

”Don’t be naive, the Emperor can’t wait to cut down the vassals now. Besides, isn’t the Emperor already nearly rendered powerless by him? Trust me, just keep an eye out, don’t let Tuotuo play you.”

The Ruyang King heard this, looked at Li Siqi, and said nothing more.

Instead, his eyes turned to Chen Jiusi. How did this kid get involved in the dispute over Bright Peak, and mix with these three guys?

He could understand Peng Yingyu, after all, Chen Jie was originally under Peng Yingyu’s protection. But what about Liu Futong and Fang Guozhen? Judging by their expressions, they seemed quite amicable. What kind of monster is this Chen Jiusi to connect with anyone?

And before this massive army, he dared to stand out. If the army charged, what if he lost his life? When fighting breaks out, should you go easy?

Yaya is waiting for him; we can’t let Yaya become a widow!

Pah, what widow, their relationship isn’t even defined. If he dies now, it doesn’t affect Yaya remarrying, but this scoundrel has already ruined Yaya’s chances of becoming the Empress, who could she remarry?

No one from the court would dare marry Yaya.

Even if the Emperor wants to marry, she wouldn’t dare. I don’t want Yaya to suffer in the palace.

But these issues have arisen, with no one in the court daring to marry Yaya, and amongst the Jianghu people, one is worse than the other. The only ones who catch my eye are those in the Melt God Realm, but those are all fifty or sixty. Do you expect my flower-like Yaya to marry an old man?

How could that be, absolutely not.

After considering this back and forth, the Ruyang King suddenly realized the best candidate was indeed this Chen Jiusi.

If the battle rages and Chen Jiusi is killed here, what then? Besides, what did Li Siqi mean by his earlier comment, testing me or alluding to something? What did he mean by wanting to take Chen Jiusi as his son-in-law too?

Even though his own daughter is only seven and not much competition, I remember he has a goddaughter, a top beauty on the rouge list. If Li Siqi shamelessly uses her to lure Chen Jiusi, then...

The Ruyang King grew more agitated. Why is my daughter’s path to sentiment so fraught with obstacles?

The Ruyang King pondered, feeling quite troubled, completely forgetting that he is the primary reason Zhao Ya hasn’t married Chen Jie.

The Ruyang King continued to ponder, when he saw Tuotuo speaking again.

”Chen Jiusi, hahahaha, you are Chen Jiusi, indeed a young talent. At a young age, you have thwarted my two groups, saved the Little Ming King, impressive, truly impressive!”

Tuotuo praised him, but a trace of cold murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

Seeing Tuotuo like this, Peng Yingyu stepped forward to shield Chen Jie and said, ”Tuotuo, let him go.”

Tuotuo laughed aloud upon hearing this, ”Peng Yingyu, you quit your good Maitreya Sect to rebel, even founding some Tianyuan Empire, how laughable. Now, you jump out to teach me how to do things, do you really think you’re the State Preceptor?”

Peng Yingyu said nothing, Liu Futong spoke up, ”Tuotuo, we won’t engage in a war of words with you. Release the Little Ming King and state your conditions!”

Tuotuo replied, ”Release him? Haha, that’s impossible. My primary goal in this trip is him. If I release him, wouldn’t that make all my previous efforts in vain?”

”I didn’t expect that this insignificant Bright Peak wasn’t meant to be destroyed, and this Chen Jiusi appears at the crucial moment. If not for him, the Six Great Sects would have helped me bring back the Little Ming King.”

”I didn’t expect the Six Great Sects to be thwarted by him alone, and then my contingency plan, the Demon Slayer Monk, was also defeated by him, forcing me to use the secret agent hidden within your Zoroastrian Sect for twenty years. Twenty years, who knew it would be exposed today, at such a great cost to me!”
