Honey, you didn't really drugged me, did you?-Chapter 286 - 131 Madam: 94, is this Avici Hell?
"Hmm!"
Looking at the intelligence system's updates today, Chen Jie's eyes suddenly brightened.
The reason was that today's information surprisingly included the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms he had been longing for!
Moreover, the information showed that the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms were at the Jixiang Temple he had visited today.
"[Room A] sounds like the place where the top person of Jixiang Temple resides, doesn't it?"
"Is it Master Jingxiang's room?"
*Why would the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms be placed in the Jixiang Temple? Could it be that the old beggar had some illicit affair with Master Jingxiang?*
*Chen Jie thought of a possibility, but it was just a guess without solid evidence.*
*Or perhaps the old beggar had deliberately chosen a completely unrelated place to hide the secret manual, making it impossible for anyone to trace it back to Jixiang Temple.*
*If he hadn't been constantly thinking about the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms and accidentally stumbled upon the Jixiang Temple, he might not have been able to activate the intelligence system to provide the exact location.*
Chen Jie, through multiple tests, discovered that the intelligence system's information-refreshing mechanism required prior contact.
While the system had now been upgraded with the ability to lock onto information using a thought process, it seemed this function was related to contact as well.
For instance, in recent times, Chen Jie locked on to the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms and only received some trivial pieces of information. Only after visiting the Jixiang Temple did the system instantly lock onto it and provide an exact location.
Had he not encountered Jixiang Temple today, the information he might have received could have been something vague, like the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms being located thirty miles south of Mianshui City.
It wouldn't have been precise to a specific room.
Now that he had all this information, Chen Jie thought it was not suitable to go today since the city gates were already closed, and the Fishing Guild had withdrawn its forces. Going out of the city now would make him a big target, which wasn't a good idea at all.
Particularly when seeking such a peerless Divine Technique as the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, one should be more cautious.
"Tomorrow, then, I'll return and investigate Jixiang Temple by night!"
Having devised a plan in his heart, Chen Jie checked the other pieces of information.
The first piece addressed a question that had puzzled Chen Jie: why hadn't the smuggling of ironware been discovered earlier or later, but at this exact moment? It turned out Feng Xuan had been secretly pulling the strings.
He also recalled the sequences of events involving Si Xi at Wang Dafa's house.
Chen Jie obtained an answer: Zheng Chuan indeed committed the foolish act of colluding with the Zoroastrian Sect for smuggling and was the murderer of Fourth Brother.
But behind all this, there had always been a manipulator, which was Feng Xuan.
Feng Xuan had orchestrated an entire scheme targeting Zheng Chuan.
*Chen Jie suspected that from the start, Feng Xuan knew about Zheng Chuan's ironware smuggling and even created the trap for him to fall into. And Zheng Chuan was foolish enough to walk right into it.*
*He then forced Zheng Chuan step by step to this point, finally reporting him to ignite the flames with Darugachi.*
With Darugachi's position, he pressured Peng Shizhong, making it impossible for him to avoid harshly dealing with Zheng Chuan.
*Peng Shizhong's character was also something Chen Jie understood well.*
*A typical parental mindset with a touch of indulgence towards children. Without Darugachi's intervention, Peng Shizhong would never have been ruthless enough to take action.*
*And Feng Xuan clearly understood his adoptive father very well.*
*He didn't make a move often, but when he did, it was lethal.*
*His elder brother was indeed someone as venomous as a snake.*
*Chen Jie felt a sense of caution towards Feng Xuan, knowing he had to be wary of people like him to avoid facing danger.*
Moving on to the second piece of information,
it revealed that there was hidden silver, amounting to ten thousand taels, buried under the lotus pond by Zheng Chuan within the Zheng Mansion.
*Ten thousand taels, not a small sum at all. Hmm, a windfall... He would seize this silver when the opportunity arose to bolster his own stash.*
The third and fourth pieces of information, when viewed together, concerned Master Jingxiang. She surprisingly had roots in the Emei Outer Sect, even though she was a discarded disciple.
What did 'discarded disciple' mean?
A rejected disciple by the sect, no longer acknowledged as an Emei disciple. From then on, her fate in Jianghu, whether successful or impoverished, had no relation to Emei.

This was how a discarded disciple was defined, severing all ties.
While she was a discarded disciple, her keen eye power was still there. After all, she had mingled with a major sect in Jianghu.
*It seemed that when he made his night investigation of Jixiang Temple, he would have to be extra cautious.*
After reviewing all the intelligence, Chen Jie slowly got up, unexpectedly disturbing Su Yunjin.
The little young lady at this moment embraced Chen Jie and said, "Today, don't go practice shooting. Stay with me!"
"You're not asleep?"
Chen Jie then turned his head toward the little young lady, who looked at him and said, "I slept for a while. As soon as you moved, I woke up."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie stretched out his hand, wrapping it around the little young lady's slender waist, and said, "It's impossible not to practice shooting. Come now, my wife, practice with me."
"Hmm... Hmm..."
A night of endless passion, entwined together in love.
No more words through the night, and by the next morning,
Chen Jie felt refreshed, but the little young lady found it difficult to get out of bed. A night of passion outmatched countless worldly experiences, yet it still taxed her muscles and bones, leaving her body sore and numb.
Chen Jie was unaffected, with his martial arts training making his body exceptionally strong.
*She was too delicate to compete with his robust physique.*
"Ah~ Brother-in-law, where's sister?"
Ruirui came out yawning, and Chen Jie said, "Lounging in bed."
At this time, Su Yunjin in the room attempted to get up, but her waist and knees were too sore, forcing her to curl up in the blankets.
