Chapter 165 - 110 Muscle Relaxing Pill, Enhance Willow Tendon Realm_6

But every day, it just wasn’t enough to sell; it could only be said that the beauty economy had no limits.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie returned home, where his wife and Ruirui had already woken up.

Ruirui saw the large bun and pounced on it directly. Watching Ruirui eat with such relish, Chen Jie felt very happy.

After eating his fill, Chen Jie went to the White Tiger Hall.

The White Tiger Hall was busy preparing for a feast. Chen Jie encountered Feng Xuan and said, "Big brother, is there anything I can help with?"

Feng Xuan replied, "Hmm, no worries, you get some good rest these two days. Rest assured, your and Sixth Brother’s matters, our adoptive father has arranged everything, just attend the feast on the day."

"Hmm? Sixth Brother?"

Chen Jie looked utterly confused.

"Where did this Sixth Brother come from?"

Feng Xuan replied, "You don’t know, our adoptive father is preparing to recognize two adoptive sons this time, you as one, and Sixth Brother as the other."

"Who is this Sixth Brother?"

Chen Jie asked. Feng Xuan said, "Zhou..."

"Brother Jiu Si!"

Feng Xuan was about to say Sixth Brother’s name when he saw someone greeting from afar, and then Peng Shizhong appeared, accompanied by an old man and a young man.

Seeing the young man, both Chen Jie and Xiao Hu were stunned: "Old Zhou!"

"Haha, it’s me!"

Zhou Chu was very pleased, but just then, the old man beside him gave a light cough.

Zhou Chu immediately regained a serious expression. Chen Jie looked over and quickly saluted, saying, "Greetings, Elder Sun."

Do you know who he was? This elder was none other than Elder Leader Sun Bu’er from the Shunfeng Escort Agency.

He was the one presiding over the Village Chief Grand Competition, well-connected with Du Dajin from the Jiangnan Longmen Escort Agency, Elder Leader Sun.

Sun Bu’er chuckled, "Chen Jiusi, I know you, a young hero indeed. Sect Master Peng has gotten a Qilin’er, unlike my son-in-law, Sect Master Peng will have to care more in the future."

Upon hearing this, Peng Shizhong responded, "Haha, Zhou Chu is also well-intentioned, a good seedling."

Upon hearing these words, both Chen Jie and Zhou Chu paused in their expressions. To praise someone as well-intentioned, wasn’t that like an insult?

*Did they find no other merits elsewhere, so they could only praise well-intentioned?*

However, Chen Jie never expected that Zhou Chu could also recognize Peng Shizhong as an adoptive father. More importantly, this guy’s father-in-law was actually Sun Bu’er from the Shunfeng Escort Agency.

Upon thinking further, Chen Jie understood.

He had always overlooked a fact, which was that Zhou Chu came to the fishery to gain prestige, staying for less than a year before being transferred to Mianshui County.

*It was clear that these connections were incredibly solid.*

But what Chen Jie didn’t expect was that his connections were this robust, as the son-in-law of the Shunfeng Escort Agency.

The Shunfeng Escort Agency wasn’t an ordinary family; they were a well-known force in Mianshui County, with connections to the Longmen Escort Agency in Jiangnan. This greatly elevated the prestige of Elder Leader Sun.

Elder Leader Sun had two sons and a daughter.

The old man was also very smart, understanding the principle of not putting all one’s eggs in one basket, so the two sons and a daughter were arranged thusly.

The eldest son was in the Guild Cao, currently holding a managerial position, and the eldest son-in-law was sent to the Fishing Guild as someone’s son.

The youngest son stayed at the escort agency to inherit the family business.

In this way, no matter how the leadership changed along the Mianshui River, the Shunfeng Escort Agency could definitely stand firm!

This was the old man’s way of living.

After speaking a few words with Peng Shizhong, Elder Leader Sun prepared to leave with Zhou Chu.

Zhou Chu, without a smile, showed a strict family upbringing. As Elder Leader Sun was about to leave, Zhou Chu turned his head and mouthed, "Tomorrow, tomorrow at the meeting, let’s have a drink..."

"Ahem!"

Elder Leader Sun coughed lightly again, and Zhou Chu immediately tightened his nerves and followed the old man away.

Chen Jie looked at his demeanor and couldn’t help but chuckle.

After exchanging a few words with Peng Shizhong, seeing that Peng Shizhong had no instructions for him, he left.

Returning home, Chen Jie practiced spear and hand techniques.

He practiced for an entire day, and after another night passed, Chen Jie got up to practice the spear.

The regular warm-up, holding the spear, due to the improvement in physical fitness, Chen Jie held the spear longer today.

And as Chen Jie practiced with the spear, Xiao Hu also came out and began to warm up.

After finishing his warm-up, Chen Jie placed a Muscle Relaxing Pill into his mouth, then began to practice his spear technique frantically. The spear in his hand moved as lightly as an extension of his arm, while at the same time, formidable medicinal power steamed out from Chen Jie’s body.

The muscles on his body trembled, Chen Jie felt he was about to break through, just about to step into the Willow Tendon Realm, formally entering the Dark Force Level.

At this time, in the Black Market.

Yu Biao’s manager, with a fake mustache, carrying a large bundle, walked into Room No. 1.

The withered old man was still smoking his pipe, glanced at Yu Biao’s manager, and said, "Is the money ready?"

The manager nodded slightly, and the old man said, "Verify the funds!"

The manager opened the bundle, inside was a neat stack of silver notes worth two thousand taels, alongside some scattered notes and silver.

The two thousand taels were the funds approved by Yu Biao before his death for hiring assassins to eliminate Wu Zhong.

And the remainder was the manager’s personal income. To repay Yu Biao’s kindness, he took out all of his silver, determined to kill Chen Jiusi.

The withered old man said, "Leave a deposit of fifteen hundred taels, and you can leave."

The manager said, "Wait, I have a condition."

The old man exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Speak."

"When it’s done, I want to see him die with my own eyes."

"This?"

The old man squinted his eyes and said, "It’s not easy."

"I can pay more!"

"How much more can you pay?"

The manager said, "Two hundred taels."

"Five hundred taels, deal, I’ll have someone take you; no deal, you go back and wait for news."

The manager thought for a moment and said, "Deal!"

...

Swish, swish, swish!

Chen Jie wasn’t aware that an assassination against him was underway, or rather, he wasn’t in the mood to care about anything else right now.

*He felt that his ’Thirteen Breaking Tribulation Strokes’ was about to break through.*

The spear rose like a dragon soaring, *heart calm and undisturbed!*

The spear fell like a tiger roaring, *power balanced and unbiased.*

*Every movement and stillness stirred the wind and clouds, a chilling brilliance accompanied by the roar of dragons and tigers.*

Spear—complete!

Crack

Chen Jie fiercely plunged the spear into the sycamore tree. The next moment, the tree was directly pierced through, sinking three inches into the wood.

At the same time, a wave of heat simmered over Chen Jie’s body.

He had finally broken through!

Willow Tendon Realm, achieved!
