Honey, you didn't really drugged me, did you?-Chapter 664 - 194 Chen Jie: Eh, this Commandery Princess seems very easy to deceive (10,000 characters asking for subscription)
Zhao Ya just left gracefully, everyone present stared dumbly at Chen Jie.
Chen Jie felt helpless. The words of the Lord of the Commandery seemed ambiguous. What did she mean by "waiting for me in the back garden"? However, he was too lazy to explain, and it seemed to only benefit him without harm.
In that case, he could simply accept it calmly.
Thinking this, Chen Jie sat in his place without saying a word, while Xiao Hu looked at his Brother Jiu Si somewhat strangely.
Brother Jiu Si, when did you start mingling with the Commandery Princess? It seemed they had only met once before at the tea house.
Xiao Hu shook his head and thought to himself, "Brother Jiu Si, this damn charm of yours!"
Chen Jie handled it calmly, shocking the surrounding crowd into staring with their mouths agape.
A small sect leader from a local sect, hmm, not yet a leader, just a small hall master.
A Commandery Princess who governs the eighty-one prefectures of Jiangnan along the seven routes of the Prince of Runan. How did these two get connected? It sounded incredibly fantastical.
Elder Liu was secretly shocked at this moment. His Brother Jiu Si was indeed no ordinary person; he had managed to connect with the Inspection Envoy. His position was now secured; even Yelu couldn’t touch him.
Look, this is a true genius. When I get back, I have to properly lecture that useless fool of mine. He’s so arrogantly proud every day; he needs to clearly recognize the gap between him and Brother Jiu Si.
Wu Hong glanced at Chen Jie and couldn’t help but smile slightly. Just a moment ago, he was worried about his brother, but now, in the blink of an eye, he found such a powerful ally. This firmly secured my brother’s position.
Qiao Hongyan frowned deeply. When did Chen Jiusi start mingling with a Commandery Princess from the court? No way, I must think of something. I can’t let him be seduced by the court. If he becomes an enemy of the Zoroastrian Sect...
Qiao Hongyan, furrowing her brows, felt a sense of crisis rising. How could she get Chen Jiusi to join the Zoroastrian Sect!
And beside her, Third Miss Hua also frowned deeply. Her Brother Jiu Si was too charming. When did he start hooking up with the Commandery Princess? No way, I must talk to Sister Yunjin later. I have to keep an eye on my man, or it might be too late for regrets!
At the moment, Zhou Peng was being slapped by Ah San, his cheeks swollen and his molars shattered. He now watched Chen Jie with a twisted mouth, jealousy in his eyes.
Why does Chen Jiusi get all the good things? The Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms were discovered by Chen Jiusi, and now the Commandery Princess favors him too. Why? Why is his luck so good?
Yelu watched the Commandery Princess’s receding figure, then turned to look at Chen Jie, who sat there, silent and indifferent.
His eyes had experienced several shocks, with anger, surprise, fear, and helplessness, which finally turned into an awkward chuckle.
"Haha... Jiu Si, you know the Commandery Princess, why didn’t you tell us earlier? You see, it almost caused a big disaster."
With an awkward chuckle filled with helplessness, Yelu felt defeated. Power controls power, and compared to the Commandery Princess, his role as the local Darugachi of Mianshui County was tiny like a sesame seed.
She is the daughter of the Prince of Ruyang, who is like the emperor of Jiangnan and half the Southwest Region.
I am just a subordinate of a subordinate of... her subordinates.
It’s not a slight difference. In her eyes, she is someone who can decide my life and death.
Now that Chen Jiusi has a connection with her, no matter how dissatisfied or frustrated I am, it’s irrelevant. I must rely heavily on Chen Jie, even avoid interfering too much.
After all, a single word from her could decide if I remain the Darugachi of Mianshui!
Moreover, the rumors that the Commandery Princess, acting as the Inspection Envoy, had executed three other Darugachis were not false. If other Darugachis could be killed, what more about me, Yelu.
Although I am also from the significant roots of the Mulan Clan, I am only a minor branch of the Yelu family, not worthy of the Prince of Ruyang’s attention.
No wonder I’ve felt that Chen Jiusi has become much more assertive lately. He has climbed a high branch.
Yelu’s inner turmoil raged fiercely, eventually forcing him to concede under the overwhelming power, only able to offer an awkward smile to Chen Jie.
Chen Jie stayed indifferent all along. He now flaunted borrowed authority; saying more might expose him more, so he chose not to speak. Let them imagine what they will!
Seeing Chen Jie remain silent, Yelu cleared his throat and said, "Gentlemen, it’s getting late. Since the Qin Ying brothers have already met their untimely demise, let’s not worry about that. Let’s proceed to vote swiftly, for Jiu Si has to meet the Commandery Princess soon!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other. Was there really a need for a vote on this matter?
The answer Yelu provided was: Yes!
Even if it was just a formality, it had to be done.
So Yelu spoke, "I propose that the next leader of the Fishing Guild be Chen Jiusi. Who agrees, and who disagrees?"
Yelu scanned everyone for their reaction to this key question.
Upon hearing the question, almost everyone unanimously said, "No problem! We have no objections!"
Yelu saw this and smiled, "Good, very good. Furthermore, since Qin Ying has passed away, Eagle Hall will also merge into the Fishing Guild Headquarters. As for White Tiger Hall, Jiu Si, it’s up to you whether you keep it or not. Now, the entire Fishing Guild is under your command!"
Yelu chuckled as he spoke to Chen Jie, making his intent very clear. I’m handing over the entire Fishing Guild to you, without any constraints. Now you can do as you please. Isn’t this generous enough?
