I Have Countless Past-life Identities-Chapter 146 - 84: Poverty Cannot Quench Aspiration, Even a Shoal Can Nurture a True Dragon—Outside Baoping State, Cataclysm Approaches!!

A constable, that's a lifelong career!

I've only heard of those stripped because of crimes.

Never heard of...

Someone resigning voluntarily?

This is unprecedented in the history of Black Mountain City!

...

Black Mountain Government Office, Department Head's room.

Chen Zhenwu frowned deeply, leaning against the window, watching the breeze and sunset, lost in some thoughts.

Until————

A creaking sound was heard.

Someone pushed the door open without announcing themselves.

Chen Zhenwu was about to say, 'No manners'.

But then he saw Jixia in casual clothes stepping over the threshold, holding a bundle with a constable's saber on top, causing his expression to change as he was about to speak...

But Jixia had already spoken first, placing the constable's uniform and saber on the desk beside him, saying:

"Department Head, thank you for your care these days."

Jixia nodded lightly, giving a half bow, causing Chen Zhenwu's expression to become complicated:

"Jixia, what do you mean by this?"

"I heard about today's matter."

"Your future is promising, and you are somewhat connected to Xie Wutong and Yunluan Mountain. The Guardian Mansion is reasonable and is under the Government Office; they won't make things difficult for you."

"Do you know that my surname 'Chen' is the same as the current Guardian's?"

"I can ensure you're fine."

"And now, unlike before, considering your brother's issue, I fear introducing the Clear Screen girl to you wouldn't be advisable."

"So, as compensation, you'll be the Squad Leader of Black Mountain, no need for daily roll calls. I'll speak to the elder, getting you a spot in the Wutong Prefecture Examination, how about it?"

"You know, you have spiritual-level aptitude. With proper cultivation, you might leave a mark in the examination. It's your life's only chance to be part of the Great Zhao Divine Capital's trials!"

"Perhaps the Great Innate from Yunluan Mountain, Miss Pei Lv Yi, has promised you something, but it's not that easy to join the Dao Lineage..."

"You must consider carefully!"

Chen Zhenwu advised.

But Jixia still smiled lightly and refused:

"Department Head, I appreciate your kindness."

"But ultimately, she is the Guardian Mansion's granddaughter."

"She treats my Ji Family so openly hostile."

"How can I stay here and be constrained?"

"The path is walked by oneself, chosen personally."

"With every step taken, how to take it..."

"I will never regret it."

Chen Zhenwu looked at Jixia, who seemed to be at the center of 'Qi', exuding spiritual energy, facing him, a Great Innate with Vajra Body, yet still composed...

He couldn't help but feel admiration.

And there was a hint of curiosity, suddenly he spoke:

"Jixia,"

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Even though the Xie Mansion and Yunluan Mountain protect you, the Guardian Mansion couldn't plot against you at the gate of Yunluan Daoist School." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"But now, standing before me, aren't you afraid..."

"I might act against you?"

Instantly, Chen Zhenwu's Vajra's Furious Gaze erupted, his Great Innate aura burst forth, causing the window's paper to tear from the evening wind.

He clenched his fists slightly.

Took a small step forward.

In an instant, his blood and vitality surged like a furnace, wind swirling around him like bellows, making it hard to keep one's eyes open in the heat.

But Jixia simply turned his back, left foot stepping over the threshold, gazing down the corridor towards the Zhenjin Bell standing at the main entrance of the Government Office, even with pressure at his back, responded seriously:

"Firstly, Department Head won't."

"Secondly..."

Loosening his muscles and tendons, Jixia turned to face Chen Zhenwu, meeting Vajra's Furious Gaze, he was...

Unafraid.

"Department Head, I think I can leave."

Their eyes intersected.

In those calm eyes, seemingly without ripples.

Chen Zhenwu saw a blazing, indestructible flame.

Fleeting.

Once he unclenched his fists, returning to his senses.

Jixia had already walked away.

"Phew... what was that..." Chen Zhenwu frowned, spreading his palm.

At that moment, he felt if he'd made a move, he truly couldn't have subdued Jixia.

"Absurd..."

Thinking about his martial instinct.

So bizarre, Chen Zhenwu chuckled bitterly, finding it hard to believe.

Their gap was like a Celestial Abyss.

He...

Was actually intimidated?

Strange!

But had to admit.

Jixia truly didn't seem like someone who could emerge from the muck of Black Mountain.

"Sigh..."

"Chen Qingping, oh Chen Qingping."

"That girl of yours,"

"Missed a True Dragon."

Chen Zhenwu clasped his hands behind his back, filled with regret.

At this moment, Chen Gong from the Guardian Mansion led Chen Qingping, arriving late.

Upon entering, Chen Gong with a stern face, seeing his third brother Chen Zhenwu, directly wanted to offer Jixia some benefits to forget the matter, to avoid tarnishing the Guardian Mansion's reputation.

But Chen Zhenwu, facing his elder brother, sighed lightly, receiving them in his Department Head's room, then pointed at the neatly placed constable's uniform on the desk:

"Brother, guess who left this behind?"

"Do you wish to exchange his future for his integrity, which a Martial Artist with great potential..."

"Will never accept."

"Poor does not necessarily mean lacking ambition."

"Even shallow waters can nurture a True Dragon."

Chen Zhenwu spoke in a low voice.

Chen Gong listened, somewhat silent.

Then he gently frowned:

"Then..."

"He wants to remember his brother's 'vengeance'."

"Make trouble with my Chen Family?"

Chen Zhenwu felt a bit helpless: "The karma Qingping brought unto herself needs resolution from the cause, might as well let her approach Ji Han herself, bring some resources, maybe for her brother's sake, might..."

But before he finished.

Was interrupted by Chen Gong's sleeve flick!

"No need!"

"My Black Mountain Guardian Mansion..."

"Why need to show goodwill to a person climbing out of the mud of an Outer City alley to such an extent?"

"When the time comes,"

"Black Mountain, how will they view my Chen Family!?"

Having said that, Chen Gong with a stern expression, took Chen Qingping and left decisively!

"I have my plans for this matter."

"Really think... they can soar to the heavens?"

"Hmph!"

...

Meanwhile.

Baoping State, at the northwest end, the broken half of the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall.

Cold winds and retiring snow, ancient pass towers towering, miles of red soil.

But decades ago, it was breached once, greatly diminished since.

Plus, with most of the old guards gone and the Great Zhao Empress not appearing, various factions, power struggles.

Except for the barrier laid down by Great Zhao afterwards, few were willing to come guard anymore.

Only because of that disturbance decades ago, which had extensive impact, prevented the Northwest Three Demon Dao Lineage Ancestral Court, and the Desert Group Veins, from stepping into here.

But decades later...

Because of 'reaching consensus'.

At this current moment!

There were...

Flood Dragons soaring the skies, big-winged Golden Rocs flying high!

With great powers of the Fox Race treading towering snow and wind...

Using Array Formation Technique, unexpectedly breaching the pass!

Then, unleashing a torrent across miles!

Causing the grand Baoping State, Government Office, Jianghu, Dao Lineage, noble families...

In an instant, a storm arose!
