Chapter 1566: Chapter 359: Ugly Girl: Chen 94, You Have to Come Find Me! (Part 3)

Chen Jie made a sarcastic remark and then stood up, saying, "You continue to practice your skills like this, I’m going out for breakfast."

Saying this, Chen Jie directly went out and closed the door. Not far from the street, there was a stall selling breakfast, usually for common people to eat. Those like the Prince Mansion Guards or Chang Xuzi wouldn’t come here.

At this time, Chen Jie arrived at the stall, ordered a bowl of wontons and a basket of buns, and started eating heartily.

He also informed the boss to prepare another steamer of buns for him to take away later.

The boss complied, and as Chen Jie was thoroughly enjoying his wontons and buns, he saw a group of people entering through the main door.

Chen Jie glanced over, his eyes slightly narrowing, as there were familiar faces.

Indeed, leading the group was none other than the rising star of the younger generation from Shu, the Eight-Armed Arhat, Ming Yuzhen, whom he had recently met in Wushan.

And besides him, there was an elderly man on horseback who looked quite formidable, probably with a Cultivation of the Molten Furnace Upper Realm.

Seeing this elder, Chen Jie thought, this must be the Second Master of the Shu Tang Sect, responsible for managing affairs.

Chen Jie had met the Master before, who was a powerful Melt God Realm expert, and this old man was at the Molten Furnace Upper Realm, fitting within the power range of the Six Great Sects Leader.

The Tang Sect had arrived as well.

Chen Jie thought this, taking a couple more glances, not expecting the Tang Sect people to be so vigilant, especially Ming Yuzhen, who seemed to sense something, raising his hand at that moment.

Immediately, the whole troop stopped.

The Second Master, puzzled, looked at Ming Yuzhen and asked, "Yuzhen?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Ming Yuzhen said, "Second Master, it seems someone is watching us."

The Second Master then turned and glanced around, with a gaze full of hostility that made the surrounding people lower their heads. Chen Jie also lowered his head, thinking to himself how strong Ming Yuzhen’s perception was, truly deserving of being the Tang Sect’s strongest disciple.

Thinking this way, Chen Jie felt Ming Yuzhen’s eyes scanning across the people around.

Chen Jie calmly continued to eat his buns.

Ming Yuzhen’s gaze swept over him at least twice. If he had shown even a hint of unnaturalness, it would definitely have been noticed.

Chen Jie didn’t doubt his perceptiveness, after all, not everyone had eyes with double pupils.

Chen Jie saw that Ming Yuzhen’s gaze was about to sweep over him for a third time and feared a fourth because the more glances, the greater the risk of exposure.

But just then, a voice suddenly came over.

"Is it the Tang Sect brothers?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s attention shifted in that direction, and then they saw a person hurriedly running over, who, upon reaching them, cupped his fists and said, "I am from the King Qi Residence, please follow me."

"Our Commander Qi and Kunlun’s Chang Xuzi are waiting for the esteemed predecessors of the Tang Sect."

Upon hearing this, Ming Yuzhen glanced at the person who spoke and the waist token of the Prince Mansion he produced, then looked towards his Sect Master.

The Second Master, upon hearing that Commander Qi from the Prince Mansion, namely Overlord Blade Qi Chun, and Chang Xuzi were waiting for them, felt he couldn’t delay and therefore agreed.

"Let’s go and meet Commander Qi and see if we can catch Chen Jiusi afterwards."

The Second Master spoke, and the other Tang Sect experts nodded at his words. At this moment, Ming Yuzhen once again scanned the surroundings with his eyes, always feeling someone nearby was spying on him, but unfortunately, he couldn’t find them.

Thinking this way, Ming Yuzhen said, "Alright then, let’s meet Commander Qi and Elder Chang Xuzi first."

With those words, the disciples of the Tang Sect all responded in unison, and then the guards of the Prince Mansion said, "Please follow me."

Watching the group slowly head towards a nearby tavern, Chen Jie stuffed the last bun in his mouth.

He got up, found the boss to pack the remaining buns, and then Chen Jie carried the bag of buns back to the inn.

Chen Jie undid the acupoint of the ugly girl: "Eat, finish eating so we can hurry on."

The ugly girl gave Chen Jie a resentful look upon hearing this, for anyone who had been immobilized all night and into the morning surely wouldn’t be in a good mood.

Despite this, the ugly girl glared at Chen Jie while eating the buns ravenously, and Chen Jie said, "Alright, stop glaring at me."

"The Tang Sect has entered the city."

Chen Jie mentioned, and the ugly girl was immediately startled, then quickly smirked at Chen Jie and said, "The Tang Sect has entered the city too. Let’s see what you’ll do now?"

"What else can I do? At worst, I’ll hand you over to make plea to Qi Lian."

"After all, it’s you they’re really after, and they won’t actually risk their lives with me. Plus, without you, it would be easier for me, wouldn’t it?"

The ugly girl glared at Chen Jiusi upon hearing this and said, "You bastard, selling out your friends for glory."

Chen Jie laughed upon hearing this, "Selling out friends for glory? I caught you, and you consider me a friend. You seem a bit confused between right and wrong!"

The ugly girl was left speechless by this, and after a long pause, said, "Hmph, I won’t talk to you anymore."

Chen Jie said, "Good, I don’t want to talk to you either. You eat first; I’m going out to have a look."

Saying this, Chen Jie turned and went out through the back door of the inn, blending in as he sauntered towards the city gate like a wandering vendor.

Chen Jie soon arrived at the city gate and saw a bunch of soldiers standing guard there.

Looking in that direction, Chen Jie noticed that today’s number of soldiers was several times that of yesterday, and there was a sea arrest warrant posted at the direction of the city gate.

Getting closer, Chen Jie read: [Arrest Warrant]

[There is a rebel from Jiangnan, Chen Jiusi, who has infiltrated this city and is holding a young girl; if found, report to the government for a reward of fifty taels of silver!]

Then below was a portrait of Chen Jie, which, remarkably, looked quite like him.

Unbeknownst to Chen Jie, this portrait was drawn by Elder Hua of the Kunlun Sect, thus bearing some resemblance to Chen Jiusi.

Seeing this, Chen Jie turned to check out the city wall, thinking, if I can’t go through the gate, maybe the wall?

After making a round, Chen Jie didn’t find any problems with the city wall, which was under unprecedented strict guard, with sentries every three steps and posts every five.

Moreover, there were also mobile patrols, and observing the interactions among soldiers, Chen Jie noticed that many didn’t recognize each other. It was clear that the nearby Prefecture City’s troops were dispatched by King Qi Residence to help, ready to capture him like a turtle in a jar.

With this understanding, Chen Jie realized that escaping from here without alerting the city was impossible.

This was indeed a Heaven and Earth Net.

With this thought, Chen Jie focused his gaze, realizing that the situation was unlikely to resolve easily, and he would have to make some bold moves.

After some contemplation, Chen Jie devised a plan, knowing that if wrong-footed, he could end up captured like a turtle in a jar.

With the plan in mind, Chen Jie turned and headed back, buying a candied haw on the way before returning to the inn. The ugly girl wasn’t a fool; after hearing that the Tang Sect had also arrived, she stayed put in the room without wandering.

Upon returning, Chen Jie handed the candied haw over to her. The ugly girl was surprised, "What? Are you bribing me?"

"Bribing you with a candied haw? It seems the Zoroastrian Sect isn’t doing well, and neither is the granddaughter of the Three Venerables."

The ugly girl replied, "You’re just using this candied haw to mock me, aren’t you?"

Chen Jie chuckled, "Alright, let’s head out soon and leave this place."

The ugly girl said, "You must be crazy. Now that the King Qi Residence, Kunlun Sect, and Tang Sect are here, with a bunch of Molten Furnace Realm experts, going out now would be suicide, wouldn’t it?"

Chen Jie responded, "Suicide? It’s not certain who will end up dead."

Seeing Chen Jie’s demeanor, she said, "You really aren’t afraid to die. Since you aren’t, I’ll accompany you. I’m curious to see how you escape from Lantian City."

Chen Jie said, "Then watch closely. I can perform magic."

"What’s magic?"

Curious, the ugly girl asked, and Chen Jie explained, "A trick."

With that, the two exited through the back door to the outside. The ugly girl asked Chen Jie, "How do we leave now?"

Chen Jie looked around outside and said, "You go to West City, I’ll go to East City. We’ll split up, and once East City is in chaos, leave the city."

Hearing this, the ugly girl was stunned, looking at Chen Jie in disbelief: "You want to distract the court’s pursuers for me?"

In disbelief, the ugly girl stared at Chen Jie, who said, "Don’t flatter yourself. I’m just worried you’ll slow me down, I’d run faster alone."

"Besides, I don’t want you falling into their hands since you’re my prey."

With that, Chen Jie glanced at the ugly girl and said, "Enough talk, get going."

The ugly girl hesitated briefly, still finding it hard to believe but eventually turned to leave. Chen Jie watched her silhouette fade away, just about to turn himself when she turned and said, "Travel two hundred miles west after leaving the city; there’s a dilapidated temple there, and I’ll wait for you for three hours. If you don’t come, I’ll really leave!"

Huh?

Chen Jie was momentarily stunned by her words!
