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

Chen Jie quietly took a step back, reaching a spot not far away.

Zhao Ya stepped forward in front of Lord Wuxiang. With a glance at Zhao Ya, Lord Wuxiang said, ”Commandery Princess, I’ve fallen into your hands today. I have nothing to say. Just give me a swift death.”

Zhao Ya responded, ”Master, you’re my elder. I have no right to deal with you.”

”Then what? Are you going to leave me here like this?”

”If I don’t return soon, I’m afraid the army will revolt, making it even harder to control the situation.”

Lord Wuxiang spoke those words, to which Zhao Ya replied, ”Wait, someone will come to deal with you in a moment.”

Lord Wuxiang closed his eyes after glancing at Zhao Ya, saying, ”Fine. I’ll wait for the Young Prince.”

Indeed, Lord Wuxiang thought Zhao Ya meant the person who would deal with him was the Young Prince, Wang Baobao. At this moment, he could only stand there.

He remained motionless, facing the rising sun, which soon blinded him with its glare. Suddenly, a figure stepped in front of him, raising a hand to shield him from the sunlight.

Looking over, Lord Wuxiang saw Ah San with a somber face, not looking at him, but blocking the sun with that somber expression.

Lord Wuxiang glared at this sight and cursed, ”Get out of here. I don’t need your flattery.”

Upon hearing this, Ah San said to Lord Wuxiang, ”If you weren’t my master, I would’ve kicked you a few times just to vent.”

Lord Wuxiang could only helplessly look at his unruly disciple when he saw a squad slowly appearing in the distance.

Suddenly, Ah Da shouted, ”Commandery Princess, they’re coming, they’re coming!”

Zhao Ya froze, immediately turning to see the approaching squad, with the Ruyang King leading!

The Ruyang King rode at the front, followed by a squad, with Wang Baobao beside him. At this moment, the large troop moved swiftly.

Chen Jie, Zhao Ya, Ah Da, and Ah Er all went to meet them.

Excitedly, Ah San also approached the crowd, leaving Lord Wuxiang feeling uneasy as things didn’t seem as simple as Wang Baobao returning.

”Ah San, who’s coming, who’s coming?”

Lord Wuxiang asked Ah San, but this disobedient disciple had already run to the Commandery Princess, not responding at all.

Facing away from the crowd, Lord Wuxiang couldn’t see the situation behind him, only hear the troops approaching from behind.

”Father!”

Seeing the Ruyang King, Zhao Ya immediately cried out and rushed towards him.

That single shout of ”Father” sent a shiver through Lord Wuxiang. The Prince, the Prince had emerged?

A buzzing sound filled his mind as if it were exploding. What exactly happened? Why did the Prince return? At this moment, his heart not only surged with joy but also with sadness.

Joy because the Prince could emerge, which made him happy. Sadness because he seemed to be at odds with the Prince now. Perhaps later, the Prince might treat him as a rebel.

With this thought, Lord Wuxiang was filled with boundless anxiety.

The one feeling even more uneasy was Chen Jie.

Zhao Ya rushed into the Ruyang King’s embrace, sobbing uncontrollably. Meanwhile, the Ruyang King patted Zhao Ya’s back, his own tears flowing uncontrollably.

The trip to the Great Capital was not in vain. He had at least understood many things.

One thing was about his daughter, for whom he truly cared. Amid such danger, she risked her life to come to the Great Capital to save him, proving to be genuinely filial.

Of course, Wang Baobao also came along and was equally filial.

But at least Wang Baobao was awarded a hereditary Earl position, making the journey worthwhile.

Only his foolish daughter endured untold hardships and fears without gaining anything in the end. Thinking of her left the Ruyang King feeling distressed.

Originally having a soft spot for his daughter, the Ruyang King felt even more indebted to her.

As he thought, his eyes inevitably turned to Chen Jie standing nearby.

Chen Jie, carefully dressed by Zhao Ya today, wore a black outfit with gold embroidery, looking noble and dignified. Combining with his natural height of 1.8 meters, handsome features, and bright eyes, he seemed a promising young talent.

Yet for some reason, the Ruyang King felt he resembled a thief about to steal his daughter.

Though this young man had once saved him, he was determined to keep a watchful eye and not let him deceive his daughter.

With this thought, the Ruyang King scrutinized Chen Jie with an evaluating gaze.

Chen Jie was polite at this moment, facing the Ruyang King’s scrutinizing gaze with respectful bow, saying, ”Jiu Si, greet Your Highness.”

The Ruyang King’s gaze swept across Chen Jie with hostility as he replied, ”Hmm!”

This attitude was within Chen Jie’s expectations. The Ruyang King indeed hadn’t disappointed, considering him an enemy.

There was no choice; the tension between son-in-law and father-in-law is eternally inexplicable.

In the past, Chen Jie wasn’t bothered by it, as Su Yunjin’s father had long passed away, and the Huang Family hadn’t wielded their power against him. Huang Wan’er eyed him coldly, and not only stayed away but avoided any confrontation. Even if Wan’er remained neutral, the Huang Family understood the situation, avoiding troubling Chen Jiusi.

Only the Ruyang King remained, a commanding presence across the Five Routes of Jiangnan Eighty-One Prefectures, whose attitude towards Chen Jie was not friendly.
