Chapter 702: Chapter 200 Unparalleled Expert and Ni Wenjun’s Letter_3

And this, perhaps, is the shortsightedness of peasant uprisings often talked about in history.

At this moment, Han He hurried to stop Yu Mei Zi and said, "Uncle Master, please reconsider! Chen Jiusi is a righteous ally who has aided our Holy Sect. How can we treat him with violence or report his deceit to the court? Wouldn’t that make us in the Holy Sect look ungrateful?"

"Shut up, Han He! How dare you, a junior, shout at your elder like this? And even criticize your senior—have you no respect for hierarchy?"

Hearing this, Han He furrowed her brows and found herself at a loss for words.

True, Yu Mei Zi may seem like just another maid for Han Miaozhen, but while Han Miaozhen didn’t have many maids, she did have many disciples—over two hundred, even some that she couldn’t clearly recall.

But Yu Mei Zi was always beside Han Miaozhen.

Therefore, even someone like Han He had to respectfully address her as "Uncle Master."

"Uncle Master, I..."

"What about you? It seems to me you don’t understand the majesty of our Holy Sect. Such a lowly being doesn’t deserve to be called a benefactor of our Holy Sect."

After speaking, Yu Mei Zi looked at Chen Jiusi and said, "Chen Jiusi, I’m giving you one last chance. If you don’t agree to my plan, don’t blame me for not being sentimental."

"Ha ha ha..."

Hearing Yu Mei Zi’s words, Chen Jie couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Seeing Chen Jie laughing, Yu Mei Zi asked, "Why are you laughing?"

Chen Jie chuckled and said, "I’m laughing because has the Zoroastrian Sect run out of competent people? Sending someone as incapable as you, I foresee the end of the Zoroastrian Sect."

"Han He, don’t bother advising her. I would like to see if anyone believes the words of such an incompetent person!"

"What do you mean?"

Chen Jie replied, "Just what I said, literally."

"Now I am a favored person by the Commandery Princess. She even wants to recommend me to the Ruyang King, while you, a rebel from the Zoroastrian Sect, accuse me of aiding your faction by smuggling arms. Did I really? Clearly, the Zoroastrian Sect has recognized my talents and attempts to frame me to prevent me from aiding the court against you."

"You’re spouting nonsense! You clearly did it, or are my accusations false?"

Yu Mei Zi, unable to act due to Chen Jie keeping his hand on the signal arrow, didn’t believe she could handle Chen Jiusi within thirty minutes, and thus she could only try to intimidate him.

But was Chen Jie someone to be intimidated?

At that moment, Chen Jie looked at Yu Mei Zi and said, "You claim I aided your Zoroastrian Sect, but do you have any evidence?"

"Evidence?"

Yu Mei Zi turned to Han He, who said, "What evidence would there be for such a thing? Any there was would have been destroyed long ago."

"You, incompetent!"

Yu Mei Zi harshly reprimanded Han He. Biting her lip, Han He did not retort.

And Chen Jie said, "No evidence, then? Without evidence, you want to accuse me? Heh, you’re really confident. I wonder, between what you say and what I say, whose words will the Lord of the Commandery believe?"

Yu Mei Zi, gritting her teeth, said, "You, just you wait."

Hearing this, Chen Jie knew that she had given up on making a move here and turned to see Han He, who looked utterly embarrassed.

An utterly mindless one, a person who could have been won over with but a few words, and now thoroughly alienated—this trip to the Medicine King Treasure is indeed fraught with difficulties.

Thoroughly infuriated with no other option, Yu Mei Zi turned to Han He and said, "So this is the person whose heart belongs to the Holy Sect, as you said? Very well, you better explain yourself when we get back."

After saying that, Yu Mei Zi turned and left.

Leaving only Han He and Han Lian.

Han He looked at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, this..."

Chen Jie made a gesture and said, "Miss Hongyan, had I really listened to you and blindly joined your Holy Sect, today I would undoubtedly regret it deeply. Such incompetence in the head of a commandery, heh, will not go far."

Sighing, Han He responded, "Jiu Si, I won’t try to explain anymore. I’ll just say this, the Holy Sect is not just made up of her kind."

Chen Jie said, "Hmm, I understand. Please, go ahead."

With a sigh, Han He then said to Han Lian, "Alian, let’s go."

At this point, Han Lian pointed at the osmanthus cake on the table and asked, "Can I have a piece?"

Seeing this, Chen Jie couldn’t help but laugh. Amid such a tense situation, this simpleton had focused all her attention on the osmanthus cake.

Chen Jie looked at Han He and said, "Are you interested in following me? That Holy Sect of yours, I don’t think is reliable."

Han He responded with a chuckle, "Guild Leader Chen, you already have such an abundance of talents, what would I do there?"

Chen Jie said, "I’m lacking two secretaries who are in tune with my thoughts."

Looking at Han Lian, who was happily munching on the osmanthus cake, Han He momentarily puzzled, "What’s a secretary?"

"It’s someone who is always by my side, caring for my work and personal life—a close companion."

Hearing this, Han He said, "You scoundrel, still insatiable even with two wives; you really are greedy."

Chen Jie laughed and said, "Charming ladies make a gentleman’s pursuit. My simple love for beauty, when spoken by Miss Han, turns so distasteful?"

Han He retorted, "Distasteful, you big lout! Alright, enough talking. Alian, let’s go."

Alian, having eaten an osmanthus cake, then packed the rest and said, "Sister, you should have one too. They’re really sweet."

Han He glared at her. Two pieces of osmanthus cake had swayed her, and as they reached the door, Han He said, "The Medicine King Treasure..."

Chen Jie looked over, and Han He turned and said, "Take care!"

Then she walked away with Han Lian.

Watching them leave, Chen Jie fell silent, his expression flickering uncertainly.
