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

Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient path, flags fluttered as loved ones were sent off.

Chen Jie stood in the front with Zhao Ya, with four people standing behind them, making up the contingent heading to the Great Capital with the two of them this time.

Standing behind Chen Jie was Du Xiong, tall with bronze skin, holding two horses.

Zhao Ya was dressed as a man, looking like a frail scholar. This time, the journey north was a secret mission, so she left her pure white horse with no blemish behind and did not ride it to the Great Capital.

Behind her also stood three people, none other than Zhao Ya’s personal guards, Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San.

Over the years, these three made significant progress. Among them, Ah Da progressed the fastest, reaching the Dragon Realm, while Ah Er and Ah San were both in the Rainbow Realm.

This is the configuration of Chen Jie’s party heading to the Great Capital.

One in the Melt God Realm, Chen Jie, one in the Molten Furnace Realm, Zhao Ya, two in the Dragon Realm, Du Xiong and Ah Da, two in the Rainbow Realm.

The line-up was luxurious; generally, small sects couldn’t easily muster so many experts.

The group stood outside the long pavilion, with civil and military officials from Huangzhou Prefecture standing behind them. The top official of Huangzhou Prefecture was departing; how could they not express their sentiments?

But those standing at the forefront were the important officials and loved ones of Huangzhou Prefecture, whom Chen Jie held in high regard.

Standing in the center, of course, was Chen Jie’s family team. Su Yunjin and Huang Wan’er were looking at Chen Jie, repeatedly urging him to prioritize safety and return early, as they would wait for him at home.

Next to them was Third Miss Hua.

Third Miss Hua was touching her belly. Ever since she became pregnant, she had the habit of keeping her hands on her belly, mainly to protect the baby, showing how much she valued the child.

At this moment, Chen Jie looked at Third Miss Hua, who said to him, ”Jiu Si, sister won’t say much, just come back early. Yunjin may be strong-mouthed, but she misses you very much. You should be aware, once things are done outside, don’t linger, return swiftly.”

Chen Jie replied to Third Miss Hua, ”Don’t worry, Sister Hua, I will surely return promptly. I’ll be the godfather to the baby in your belly by that time.”

This was a discussed agreement among them. Once the baby in Third Miss Hua’s belly was born, Su Yunjin would be the godmother, and naturally, Chen Jie would be the godfather.

Third Miss Hua said, ”Then Sister Hua is counting on it.”

Chen Jie smiled and then turned to Ni Wenjun.

Ni Wenjun looked at Chen Jie and said, ”Jiu Si, you are now a high master in the Melt God Realm. There aren’t many who can harm you outside, so I won’t tell you to be careful. But I promise you, as long as I’m here, there won’t be any trouble in Huangzhou Prefecture. Even though I’m only in the Molten Furnace Upper Realm, I can still fend off one or two from the Melt God Realm.”

This wasn’t a joke. Ni Wenjun’s Cultivation Technique, Nine-story Tower, was unique and couldn’t upgrade with elixirs, but its combat power was formidable. Unless someone from the Heavenly List came, he might not win against the average Melt God Realm, but he could definitely protect Chen Jie’s family.

And if someone from the Melt God Realm came to attack Chen Jie’s family, it would most likely be on a small scale or one person at a time. If there were many, they wouldn’t escape the detection of the secret agents placed throughout Hubei Road.

This would give Ni Wenjun advance preparation time.

After saying this, Chen Jie clasped his hands in salute, ”Everything is in your hands, big brother.”

”Between us brothers, there’s no need to say this.”

Ni Wenjun responded.

Chen Jie then approached Xiao Hu. Xiao Hu no longer appeared as the follower he used to be; he walked with an air of authority, his face showing the dignity of someone in a high position.

But in front of Chen Jie, Chen Xiaohu always maintained the demeanor of a younger brother.

Chen Jie looked at him and said, ”Hu Zi, the matters at home are entrusted to you.”

Xiao Hu said, ”Brother, rest assured, as long as I’m here, nothing will go wrong at home.”

Chen Jie replied, ”Yes, your work reassures me.”

Chen Jie moved past Xiao Hu and saw Zhou Chu. Zhou Chu was looking majestic, wearing a gilded official robe, exuding wealth.

Seeing Chen Jie’s gaze, Zhou Chu immediately said, ”Hey, Lord, this outfit of mine was bought with my own salary. Don’t think I embezzled government funds.”

Hearing this, Chen Jie glanced at him and said, ”If you dare to embezzle money, let’s see how Wu Hong deals with you.”

Chen Jie gestured for him to look at Wu Hong, who was standing behind, with a serious face and maintaining a distance from everyone around him.

In a low voice, Zhou Chu said to Chen Jie, ”My Lord, you’re tough, letting Wu Hong handle corruption. He’s genuinely iron-faced with no mercy. One of my capable lieutenants got caught embezzling a dozen acres of land by him and was demoted to an ordinary disciple.”

Hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Zhou Chu and said, ”Old guy, don’t cause trouble; remember, Wu Hong’s actions are my actions. If Wu Hong catches you, it’s like I’m catching you!”

Zhou Chu replied, ”I know, I know. During this start-up period, whoever tries to cause trouble, not only you, but I also won’t spare them.”

After hearing Zhou Chu’s words, Chen Jie smiled, helping him brush off the dust from the eye-catching official robe, ”I must admit, this outfit suits you well.”

Zhou Chu replied, ”But this was personally chosen by my wife.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Zhou Chu and said, ”So, does Lady Sun still hit you?”

”She dares!”

Zhou Chu said proudly, then looked at Chen Jie, ”Now at home, what I say goes, my position is very high.”
