Honey, you didn't really drugged me, did you?-Chapter 659 - 193 Zhao Ya: I Testify for Chen 94_2

Nan Batian, having escaped from Mianshui, his life or death remained unknown.

The old beggar, because of his Dragon Capturing Seventeen Palms, was killed jointly by Nan Batian and Elder Liu!

The old constable, Zhang Liye, was promoted to serve in Huangzhou Prefecture.

Ghost Hand Gu Qingfeng was killed in the forest by his own hands.

The blacksmith, the Branch Leader of the Zoroastrian Sect in Mianshui, was summoned back to the North to join the uprising.

The fisherman, Peng Shizhong, his adoptive father, died as part of a scheme devised by Feng Xuan and Nan Batian.

The blind fortune-teller—if I were to encounter the blind fortune-teller Yuan Sanjia as calculated, it meant heading far to foreign lands to lay plans, but if not, Chen Jie would have never encountered this blind fortune-teller.

As for the Eagle, Tiger, and Leopard, they were already killed by me.

Thus, the once glorious Thirteen Grand Protectors of Mianshui had mostly fallen—such is the passage of all things!

To count the charismatic figures of Mianshui, look only to today!

Chen Jie thought, sitting up straight. The old does not go, the new does not come; even though it’s emotional, these once dominant experts of Mianshui, due to various reasons, fell or departed, but their legends would remain for a long while.

Chen Jie believed, even after many years, there would still be those who remembered, there were once Thirteen Grand Protectors in Mianshui County.

But still, let bygones be bygones; the future is where Chen Jie’s battleground lies.

Chen Jie, silent and reflective, and at this moment, behind the screen, Yelu observed everything happening in the area—the frown slightly on his face.

Beside him, Qimu Ge asked, watching Yelu secretly observing, "Lord, what are you watching?"

Yelu squinted his eyes and said, "The future Jianghu of Mianshui."

Qimu Ge slightly furrowed his brows and asked, "Lord, what do you perceive?"

Yelu said, "The tail is too big to fall off; it forms a calamity!"

Qimu Ge said, "Chen Jiusi?"

Yelu replied, "That’s right, in this scene, Elder Liu has a close relationship with Chen Jie, and so does Wu Hong."

"Lord, the common tale says Chen Jiusi and Wu Hong, having divergent ideals, have already parted ways; how could their deep friendship be brought up?"

Qimu Ge looked puzzled, but Yelu said, "Parting ways and having differing ideals, that’s what they say, we have not seen it, but both of them come from the same town, and Wu Hong’s grandfather was Chen Jiusi’s master—it is an indisputable fact. Hence, this person cannot be trusted."

Qimu Ge was startled, "Lord, if Wu Hong cannot be trusted, then Elder Liu also cannot be trusted. Are we really relying on two women to check Chen Jiusi?"

Yelu shook his head and responded, "One woman, Qiao Hongyan doesn’t seem to have any interaction with Chen Jie, and during the incident at Yihong House, they rather disapproved of each other; we could utilize their relationship."

Qimu Ge asked, "What about Third Miss Hua?"

Yelu replied, "She and Chen Jiusi’s wife are closest of friends, not usable."

Hearing this, Qimu Ge remarked, "Thus it seems, the only one we can use against Chen Jiusi is Qiao Hongyan. Lord, are you intending to support Qiao Hongyan?"

Yelu shook his head and said, "No, Qiao Hongyan alone, as a woman, will likely have difficulty controlling Chen Jiusi; to control Chen Jiusi, we still need Elder Liu."

Qimu Ge said, "But Elder Liu has a good relationship with Chen Jie."

Yelu remarked, "That’s because they had a common enemy in Nan Batian; now that this common enemy is gone, just give me some time, and I can surely use benefits to turn them against each other!"

Qimu Ge said, "Lord, brilliant."

Yelu stated, "However, that’s not the focus. The focus is, we now need to introduce new forces into the field."

"The Ying San brothers?"

Qimu Ge suggested the Ying San brothers; these three could serve as leverage against Chen Jiusi.

Yelu said, "Indeed, in addition to them, there’s him too."

As Yelu finished his statement, someone casually walked into the hall, glanced around, eyes resting momentarily on Chen Jie, then directly went to sit on the right.

Suddenly, a newcomer arrived, and everyone was startled.

Who is this?

Chen Jie also looked over, his eyes narrowing because he recognized the person before him!

Iron Beggar Zhou Peng! freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

That’s right, Iron Beggar Zhou Peng, one of the two great generals under the old beggar from the Beggar Sect, the other being Golden Saber Feng San.

Golden Saber Feng San died by Chen Jie’s spear, but Zhou Peng was captured by Yelu Mansion after the old beggar’s capture and underwent brutal interrogation!

Originally thought to have died under torture, it was unexpected that he could still come out alive.

And just now, watching his dragon-like stride, he apparently was an Energy Transformation Master.

Chen Jie scrutinized Zhou Peng with narrowed eyes, and at this moment, Zhou Peng also looked up, his face full of hatred as he said, "Chen Jiusi, long time no see!"

Chen Jie, his eyes still narrowed, responded, "I remember you, Zhou Peng of the Beggar Sect!"

"Hahaha... I didn’t expect my humble name to be remembered by Master Chen. It’s indeed an honor!"

Chen Jie narrowed his eyes without a word, and Zhou Peng said, "Master Chen, I think we need to have a chat!"

"How audacious, where did this ignorant creature come from to dare to speak so insolently? Get out!"

Elder Liu, being hot-tempered and unpredictable, saw Zhou Peng, who seemingly appeared from nowhere, had a cold look on his face; he then immediately slapped the teacup on the table.

The teacup, carrying strong and dominant Gang Qi, attacked directly at Zhou Peng.

Seeing this, Zhou Peng didn’t panic, countered with a palm strike, and actually directly shattered the teacup; with a snap, the shards scattered, changing the expressions of several people nearby as they waved their hands to block the flying fragments.

They all turned to look at Zhou Peng, an Energy Transformation Master, not weaker than their own in strength—no wonder he was so bold!
