Honey, you didn't really drugged me, did you?-Chapter 648 - 191 Zhao Ya: Chen 94, you wouldn’t want your secret to get out, right? (Please subscribe!)_3
In an instant, his formidable palm power shattered his head, and the Mystic Ice Power turned the spilling blood into icy slag!
At that moment, Qin Bao also fell to the ground with eyes wide open, dead beyond doubt.
Chen Jie withdrew his hand and surveyed the corpses strewn across the ground, preparing to clean up the scene when he suddenly heard the sound of clapping.
Clap clap clap...
Chen Jie was startled, realizing there was someone he had missed. He turned his head and then saw a young man dressed in white, standing on the roof behind him, holding a folding fan and clapping with a look of amusement on his face.
Zhao Ya!
Chen Jie’s gaze locked on tight—it was her!
Then, he heard the sound of whooshing as three figures landed on the walls surrounding him.
One held a sword with a cold stare.
Another crossed his arms, looking utterly bored.
And there was another with hands on her hips, appearing arrogant.
It was Zhao Ya’s three bodyguards from the Western Vajra Sect: Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San.
The four of them had completely cut off all of Chen Jie’s escape routes, looking as though they had him completely cornered.
Calming himself, Chen Jie turned to Zhao Ya, knowing she was the one in charge here, so he directly addressed Zhao Ya with a clasped fist, "Brother Zhao, I never expected to encounter you here!"
Upon hearing Chen Jie’s composed demeanor, Zhao Ya’s eyes showed a hint of admiration.
Composed even in danger, truly a noteworthy character.
Thinking this, Zhao Ya also clasped her fist and said, "Indeed, just taking a stroll at night, and to think I’d witness Brother Chen committing murder, quite the surprise indeed!"
Chen Jie gave a bitter smile and replied, "You jest, Brother Zhao."
Zhao Ya continued, "Isn’t Brother Chen a businessman? What business does a businessman have killing people in the middle of the night, unless he’s turned into a highway robber?"
Chen Jie knew Zhao Ya was teasing him and responded with a clasped fist, "Brother Zhao, I’m sorry, I deceived you before. I’m not really a businessman but rather a person of Jianghu."
"Oh, not a businessman? Then who exactly are you?"
Looking at Chen Jie with a smile, Zhao Ya listened as Chen Jie immediately clasped his fist and said, "White Tiger Hall Chen Jiusi at your service, Brother Zhao."
"Oh, White Tiger Hall Chen Jiusi! Ha ha, I never imagined you were the renowned Chen Jiusi! I’ve heard about you. Consider the last time you helped me analyze how Chen Jiusi managed to control the four streets of White Tiger Hall well. Now, it feels a bit like teaching the fish how to swim."
Chen Jie clasped his fist and said, "Brother Zhao, you flatter me."
Zhao Ya replied, "Enough about the past, let’s talk about now. Brother Chen, your wrongdoings have been caught by us; do you have anything to say?"
"Or perhaps, are you planning to kill us to silence us?"
Chen Jie gave a wry smile and said, "You jest, Brother Zhao. I killed them out of vengeance; I bear no grudge against you, Brother Zhao. I am not that kind of person."
Zhao Ya replied, "Oh, is that so? If you don’t kill us, aren’t you afraid we’ll go to Yelu Mansion to inform on you? By then, not only could you no longer be the master of White Tiger Hall, but your life might also be at risk."
"So you’re really not planning to kill us to keep us quiet?"
Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie with a playful expression.
Chen Jie replied with a wry smile, "Brother Zhao, why must you put it so bluntly? Yes, I did think about silencing you after killing my enemy, although I gained revenge, I also left behind evidence that you discovered."
"Under normal circumstances, I did consider the idea of killing you to silence you!"
"How audacious!"
Upon hearing Chen Jie’s words, Ah San immediately became furious. "You dare harbor a murderous intent towards our Lord? Do you believe that if we go down right now, we could tie you up and give you a taste of life being worse than death?"
However, Zhao Ya stretched out her hand to stop Ah San’s remarks and instead asked Chen Jie, "Why not make a move?"
"I can’t beat you!"
Chen Jie responded openly: "You must be disciples from a reputable sect, judging by your looks, and not from our small place. These three are strong and full of Gang Qi, probably masters from the Holding Core Realm!"
Hearing this, Ah San said arrogantly, "You’ve got a good eye."
Chen Jie continued, "You see, with your strength, killing me would be easier than crushing an ant."
The trio didn’t respond, but their expressions clearly said they knew he was being sensible.
Chen Jie turned and said, "As for Brother Zhao, I can’t gauge your strength, but since they follow your lead, you must be extraordinary, probably an heir to a large sect. With your status, I dare not act rashly."
"So, right now, I really am in a difficult situation with no way out."
With a helpless expression, Chen Jie then bowed to Zhao Ya and said: "Brother Zhao, now that things have come to this, your will decides my fate."
Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie and said, "You are indeed forthright."
"Let it be. I was just passing by and saw all this by chance. As for the rest, I won’t interfere. But Brother Chen, remember, you owe me a favor today, right?"
"A favor?"
Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya, who replied, "Yes, a favor, one favor, and one request. If I ever need your help in the future, you must repay this favor!"
Chen Jie said, "I hope Brother Zhao won’t ask me to commit suicide to repay this favor because I’m afraid that would be impossible."
Zhao Ya laughed, "Don’t worry, my request definitely won’t involve your life. What do you say?"
"Alright, I owe Brother Zhao a favor!"
Chen Jie said, clasping his fist.
Zhao Ya spoke upon hearing this, "Alright, with that said, Brother Chen, I’ll take my leave now."
After finishing, Zhao Ya signaled with her eyes to Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San then turned and flew away.
Chen Jie wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and thought to himself that he had to seize the time to enhance his strength, or else he wouldn’t even know when a master of the Holding Core Realm got close.
