Honey, you didn't really drugged me, did you?-Chapter 649 - 191 Zhao Ya: Chen 94, you wouldn’t want your secret to get out, right? (Please subscribe!)_4
Even more so when facing such a crisis.
Thinking this, Chen Jie glanced at the time; he had been out for a while now and needed to head back quickly.
But before that!
Chen Jie turned and walked over to where Qin Bao lay, searching the body.
To kill without searching the corpses—this was not a good habit.
Chen Jie quickly found a stack of silver notes, counted them, and found it to be about a thousand taels.
He pocketed the money directly, and then continued searching but found nothing of value.
Chen Jie entered the room, glanced at Qin Ying, and felt around on him, too.
It turns out, being the eldest brother of the three, he actually had five thousand taels in silver notes on him and even a secret manual.
[Blood Eagle Claw Skill]
Hmm!
A secret manual of the Eagle Claw Skill at the Energy Transformation Level with decent lethality. Although it didn’t measure up to top-level Energy Transformation practitioners like himself or Nan Batian, it could still rank relatively high among ordinary Energy Transformation Martial Arts.
It would be good to add it to the collection in the Hidden Skills Tower.
Thinking this, Chen Jie felt around some more and actually found a small jade bottle. He opened it and inside was an elixir.
Chen Jie took it out and smelled it; it was fragrant, but he was unsure what the medicine was precisely. It had to be valuable, though; otherwise, Qin Ying wouldn’t have carried it with him. He would ask his master when he returned.
With these thoughts, Chen Jie continued his search.
There was nothing of value left on Qin Ying’s body.
Giving up on Qin Ying, Chen Jie searched Qin Hu, feeling around and finding only five hundred taels in silver notes.
This brother seemed to be the poorest of the three.
Having finished searching, Chen Jie left immediately. As for the other various treasures like gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, and calligraphy paintings in the Qin Ying Mansion, he didn’t dare to touch them—these things were too easy to expose his identity, so Chen Jie didn’t take any.
Then Chen Jie carefully inspected the scene, leaving no traces behind except those of the Mystic Ice Power, which was a relief.
Now, the only loose end was the Commandery Princess, but since he had already promised her a favor in exchange for his life, she wouldn’t want him dead.
So, there was no need to worry about her. In other words, as long as he managed the scene well, everything should go according to his plan.
With these thoughts, Chen Jie left Eagle Hall and rushed back to the Fishing Guild.
Just as he arrived at the Fishing Guild, he saw Xiao Hu speaking with Qimu Ge: "Lord Commander Qimu Ge, my Hall Master is resting inside and should not be disturbed."
Qimu Ge frowned and said, "What do you mean? Chen Jiusi becomes the Gang Leader and now he’s too important to meet with me?"
Xiao Hu said, "How could that be, Lord Commander? You’ve misunderstood. My master is really tired, and he might have been injured in a fight."
Qimu Ge frowned at Xiao Hu: "I’ll just say hello and then leave."
Xiao Hu said, "I can pass on a message for you."
"A message? Something’s not right. Is Chen Jiusi not in the room?"
Qimu Ge suddenly seemed to have a flash of insight, narrowing his eyes at Xiao Hu, who inwardly panicked, worrying that Qimu Ge’s discovery might sabotage Jiu Si’s plan.
Thinking this, Qimu Ge said, "Chen Xiaohu, step aside. Is Chen Jiusi in the room?"
Xiao Hu said, "Yes, our Hall Master has been injured and needs to rest. Please don’t make things difficult for me!"
"That’s not right, you step aside."
"Lord!"
Qimu Ge tried to push into the room, sensing something was off.
Xiao Hu, however, spread his arms to block the doorway, refusing to let Qimu Ge in. Qimu Ge’s brow furrowed, looking at Xiao Hu: "Chen Xiaohu, move aside."
"Lord, must you insist on entering?"
Cang Lang!
Qimu Ge drew his sword, staring at Chen Xiaohu: "Will you move or not? Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite!"
Chen Xiaohu began to sweat, and with gritted teeth, his eyes wide and hands clenched into fists, he prepared for a fight. If worse came to worst, he’d take on Qimu Ge, as even if he were punished later, it was better than exposing Jiu Si right now.
"Cough cough... What’s the matter, Xiao Hu?"
Just as Qimu Ge and Chen Xiaohu were at an impasse, suddenly a coughing sound came from inside the room.
Xiao Hu rejoiced in his heart, Jiu Si Brother had returned.
Thus, he moved aside and said, "Jiu Si Brother, Commander Qimu Ge wants to come in and see you. I told him you were injured, resting, and should not be disturbed..."
"Nonsense!"
At this point, Chen Jie opened the door. He had taken off his outerwear and wore only a white undergarment; his shoes were barely on, clearly just risen from resting.
"I’m sorry, Hall Master, my bad."
Xiao Hu immediately bowed his head in apology, and Chen Jie looked towards Qimu Ge with his sword drawn: "Lord Commander Qimu Ge, what is this?" ƒrēenovelkiss.com
Qimu Ge sheathed his sword and then looked at Chen Jie: "It’s nothing. The search of Nan Batian’s house is almost finished. I just came to inform you, and we’ll withdraw."
"Oh, you’ve worked hard, Lord Commander Qimu Ge."
Chen Jie bowed respectfully. Qimu Ge glanced once more at Chen Jie, then at Xiao Hu, and said, "Additionally, your brother here is quite impressive, even daring to stop me."
Chen Jie promptly said with an apologetic smile, "Please forgive him, Lord Commander Qimu Ge. It was my order to not allow anyone in. Cough cough, I suffered some internal injuries during the fight with Nan Batian, and I am currently regulating my energy. Please, forgive me."
"Xiao Hu, come here and apologize to Lord Commander Qimu Ge."
Xiao Hu glanced at Chen Jie, then respectfully said, "Lord Commander Qimu Ge, I was wrong just now, please forgive me."
His demeanor was very respectful. Having spent much time with Chen Jiu, he knew when to yield and when to stand firm; as long as there was no actual harm done, his pride could be salvaged later.
