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

”Pfft...”

In the darkness of night, Chen Jie set Zhang Dingbian down, only to see him spit out a mouthful of blood.

It was clear that his injuries were quite severe.

Chen Jie then took out a Tai Sui Pill from his pocket and fed it to Zhang Dingbian. Among all the healing medicines, only this Tai Sui Pill had the best effect.

After Zhang Dingbian swallowed Chen Jie’s Tai Sui Pill, he immediately fell silent, closed his eyes, and began to heal his injuries.

At this moment, Chen Jie looked into the darkness and saw no pursuers. Indeed, there were no pursuers.

Originally, Du Zundao had been chasing them. His goal was to latch onto Chen Jiusi, and then, when Dharma Ba arrived, the two would join forces to suppress Chen Jiusi on the spot.

But who would have thought that Dharma Ba didn’t plan to chase at all?

By the time he had chased for about two miles and looked back at his reinforcements, my word, there wasn’t a single person behind him, only him madly charging forward like a fool. What was this, treating someone as cannon fodder?

Du Zundao was terrified. His body was also covered in scars, and he was barely holding on. The only reason he was persisting was to eliminate Chen Jiusi and forestall any future troubles.

But who would have thought, he had caught up, but the reinforcements hadn’t. What did this mean? Without reinforcements, what’s the point? Is he supposed to engage in a life-and-death struggle with Chen Jiusi?

That would most likely mean his own death.

Understanding this, Du Zundao cursed silently in his heart, blaming Dharma Ba and Tuotuo for failing him, and then quietly withdrew, hiding in the darkness. Where was the momentum just now to kill Chen Jiusi?

Du Zundao thus retreated, and Chen Jie, carrying Zhang Dingbian to this alley, set up the opening scene where Zhang Dingbian’s injuries flared up, and Chen Jie fed him a Fourth Grade Tai Sui Pill.

After Zhang Dingbian took Chen Jie’s Fourth Grade Tai Sui Pill, the pill’s strong medicinal power transformed wildly within his body.

At this moment, Chen Jie placed his hand on Zhang Dingbian’s central back, immediately activating the Life Force. In the next moment, the terrifying Life Force quickly enveloped Zhang Dingbian’s body.

Then, his injuries visibly began to heal.

Soon, Zhang Dingbian felt his body was healed, his internal injuries mostly recovered, and his external injuries quickly mending with the help of the person behind him.

Soon, Zhang Dingbian woke up, turned around and saw Chen Jie, and without any hesitation, knelt on one knee: ”Thank you benefactor for saving my life!”

Hearing this, Chen Jie quickly helped Zhang Dingbian up, saying: ”Brother Zhang, please rise quickly.”

Zhang Dingbian replied: ”I did not know that you are the Jade-faced Little Meng Chang who shook Hubei, Chen Jiusi, Hero Chen. I am truly at fault, at fault.”

Jade-faced Little Meng Chang?

Hearing this nickname, Chen Jie was a bit surprised. After all, this name carries some historical weight. This nickname was apparently given to him by Jianghu people after he first made his name at Mianshui.

And later, as Chen Jie’s standing grew, he hadn’t expected that his Jade-faced Little Meng Chang title would spread so widely.

It’s no wonder, the ”Jade” describes Chen Jiusi’s appearance—indeed, he’s quite handsome.

As for Little Meng Chang, it describes Chen Jie’s personality, known for helping others, much like Warring States’ Meng Changjun. Indeed, looking at Chen Jie’s journey so far, it’s been a path of helping others.

Initially traveling to Five Poison Mountain in Xiangxi, he ultimately helped the Mother Gu family, preventing an internal coup in the Five Poison Sect.

Then in Longxing Prefecture, during the Ruyang King’s Treasure Book Glory Conference, not only did Chen Jiusi win first place, but crucially, he led the majority of martial arts fellows to escape Longxing Prefecture.

This great feat spread Chen Jie’s fame as Jade-faced Little Meng Chang far and wide.

Later, during the expedition to Wushan, Chen Jiusi also helped the descendants of the Feng family like Feng Hongyuan to safeguard their ancestral inheritance, avoiding the risk of extermination, and was regarded highly by the then-transient third Earthly Immortal Feng Xuewen, which became a famous tale.

This left an impressive reputation in Jianghu, with the Jade-faced Little Meng Chang title being recognized by more people.

Later on, in the battle at Bright Peak, saving the sect from downfall and helping the Zoroastrian Sect through a crisis, boosted Chen Jie’s fame further. Jade-faced Little Meng Chang became his signature.

As a result, rumors spread in Jianghu about a Ranking of Rising Stars, where the top spot is Chen Jiusi, followed by Zhu Chongba, and third, Shu’s Ming Yuzhen.

Jianghu comment: Should Jianghu have a future, it must emerge from the Rising Stars list.

Zhang Dingbian, from the Prime Minister’s Mansion people’s reactions, and Chen Jie’s Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms plus his Melt God Realm strength, quickly calculated that Chen Jiusi was likely the top of the Rising Stars list, the Jade-faced Little Meng Chang Chen Jiusi.

Since the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms had almost become one of Chen Jiusi’s signature Cultivation Techniques.

Zhang Dingbian, kneeling on one knee, expressed gratitude for Chen Jie’s lifesaving grace. Chen Jie quickly helped him up, saying: ”We are all Han Family brothers, no need for such formalities!”

Hearing Chen Jie’s words, Zhang Dingbian was very moved and said: ”If the benefactor had not saved me today, I might have already died in this Prime Minister’s Mansion. This gratitude needs to be expressed.”

Chen Jie, hearing this, looked at Zhang Dingbian and said: ”No need for that, and now with pursuers behind us, we can’t delay any longer. We must leave here immediately.”

”Where shall we go?”

Zhang Dingbian asked. Chen Jie thought for a moment and said: ”Let’s go back to the inn first.”

Hearing this, Zhang Dingbian immediately agreed. The two then circled around East City for half a circle, and only after confirming no one was following, did they finally reach the inn.
