CHAPTER 1184: CHAPTER 282: CHEN JIE: YAYA, WILL YOU MARRY ME?

"But just at that moment, Chen Jiusi stepped forward and said he couldn’t let the Prince look down on the Five Poison Sect, otherwise, it would make the Prince think the Five Poison Sect was easy to bully. So he incited the demon people of the Five Poison Sect to force me to kneel and slap myself. I dared not refuse them, as the Commandery Princess was still in their hands, and I was under the Prince’s orders."

"Therefore, I endured the humiliation, taking twenty slaps. Look at my face; it was all because Chen Jiusi was advising the Five Poison Sect. If not for him, maybe I would have already returned safely with the Commandery Princess!"

Slam!

The Ruyang King, infuriated by Elder Xie’s words, smashed the cup in his hand with a slam!

"Chen Jiusi, you good-for-nothing Chen Jiusi!"

Seeing the Ruyang King in such a rage, Elder Xie immediately lowered his head. What he had said was actually true, though things were arranged by Zhang Shicheng to hide some details, making it sound like Chen Jie was helping the Five Poison Sect to oppose the Ruyang King.

In this way, Chen Jiusi became a person the Ruyang King must eliminate.

This can be considered a way to mend the fold after the sheep is lost. Zhang Shicheng’s lips slightly curved upward.

His eyes scanned around, when suddenly someone stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I think there must be some misunderstanding here. Jiusi, Chen Jiusi is not that kind of person. He was the one who asked me to find you. If he really wanted to join the Five Poison Sect, why would he call you here?"

Hearing this, Wang Baobao also frowned slightly. He knew Chen Jie and didn’t believe he would be foolish enough to join a small sect like the Five Poison Sect.

Just as he was thinking, Zhang Shicheng lightly coughed and said, "Ah San’s brother has a point. If Chen Jiusi really wanted to surrender to the Five Poison Sect, he wouldn’t have invited the Prince. But I’ve heard that the Five Poison Sect has many tricks, and if someone falls for them, they would be better off dead, and many have turned traitor because of it."

"Maybe, Chen Jiusi has fallen for one of these tricks..."

"If that’s the way, such betrayal might be somewhat understandable, right?"

The Ruyang King’s eyes narrowed as he said, "Somewhat understandable, huh, a traitor is a traitor, what’s there to forgive? This person cannot be left alive!"

The Ruyang King had already decided to kill.

Ah San wanted to persuade further, but was stopped by a glance from Lord Wuxiang, while Zhang Shicheng quietly stepped back. Although he seemed to speak for Chen Jiusi, he was actually adding fuel to the fire.

Seeing the Ruyang King determined to list Chen Jiusi as a must-kill, he felt at ease.

Whether Chen Jiusi could be killed or not was not important. Zhang Shicheng always believed that man proposes, but God disposes!

He had done it, and whether or not Chen Jiusi survived was not within his control.

Of course, even if Chen Jiusi survived, Zhang Shicheng wouldn’t lose; after all, he only said a word to exonerate Chen Jiusi, so even if Chen Jiusi turned things around, he wouldn’t be an enemy.

After all, Zhang Shicheng was surrounded by ’friends’.

This was why the Ruyang King said those words at the front today, because, in his heart, Chen Jiusi was already a traitor deserving of death.

He would never allow such a traitor near the Commandery Princess.

Mother Gu returned to the cave with a face full of doubt, and Linglong was already waiting for her mother.

Mother Gu relayed the day’s events to Linglong, asking her to pass on a message to Chen Jiusi and the Commandery Princess Zhao Ya, informing them of the Ruyang King’s attitude today so that Chen Jiusi could be prepared in advance.

Linglong said, "Got it, Mother."

Linglong then returned directly to Lord Jin’s Dragon Cave.

At that time, she saw Chen Jie and Zhao Ya watching the scenery in the sunset, holding hands.

"Ahem~"

Linglong gently coughed, startling the two of them. Zhao Ya’s face turned red instantly as she quickly withdrew her hand from Chen Jie’s.

Chen Jie, being thick-skinned, still tried to hold on, Zhao Ya said, "Let go, someone is here."

Chen Jie said, "Here, only Linglong can come in, what’s there to fear!"

"But, but still no!"

Seeing Zhao Ya like this, Chen Jie let go calmly, realizing that this Commandery Princess who seemed fearless was just a little girl after all.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie turned to Linglong and said, "Linglong, how are things?"

Linglong replied to Chen Jie, "Brother Chen, it’s been arranged. Tomorrow morning, Sister Yaya will be released, and the Ruyang King will withdraw his army."

Chen Jie nodded lightly, "Hmm, the Commandery Princess has recovered. Get a good night’s sleep, and you’ll be fine."

"But once you leave, who knows when you’ll be able to return and see you all again."

Chen Jie was somewhat moved; this was his sincere words, and also a hook he was setting in Linglong’s emotions.

The Five Poison Sect, owning the Ten Thousand Mountains, commanding a hundred thousand Miao people, with thirty thousand church soldiers, the sect was filled with masters. Although this rebellion had greatly diminished the Five Poison Sect’s strength, losing three Dragon Realm experts.

However, even so, a dying camel is still bigger than a horse, and the weakened Five Poison Sect is still beyond what Chen Jie can compare.

The sect at least still has one Earth List’s number one Molten Furnace Realm elder, and also Jin Chan, Centipede, Guardian, three Dragon Realm experts. When united, these three are a formidable force.

And before him, Little Linglong, seemingly naive, is actually the Saintess and acting Sect Hierarch of the Five Poison Sect, the future successor of the sect.
