However, this attitude, which was almost doting, made Chen Huijie feel embarrassed to ask his uncle for anything. After all, although his uncle was very powerful, he still had to repay the favor he owed to others. His uncle was so good to him, and he should not cause unnecessary trouble for him.

So Chen Huijie continued to ignore the mysterious old man until the old man found out that Chen Huijie was going to leave Dayan and study abroad. Then he took the initiative to talk to Chen Huijie and said:

"You can't leave Dayan."

Chen Huijie ignored him and continued to move towards Casimir. Then he had a violent conflict with the old man, and then...

Hey, the old man didn't expect that Chen Huijie's swordsmanship improved so quickly. He was careless and failed to defend himself, allowing Chen Huijie to jump out of the border of Dayan. In addition, Chen Huijie's lightness skills were also very good. He floated far away in the blink of an eye. The old man seemed to be restricted by something. He hesitated and did not chase him out of the border line. However, the old man's means were also very powerful. He raised his hand and pulled Chen Huijie back through the air.

Chen Huijie couldn't stand this and immediately got into a fight with the old man. Seeing Chen Huijie's expression, the old man just smiled disapprovingly and calmly accepted the challenge from the little dragon cub, but...

After fighting for five days and five nights, the old man could no longer laugh. He did not expect and could not understand how Chen Huijie still had the energy to fight him after such a long time. He originally wanted to teach this little dragon a lesson and polish his sharpness and arrogance so as to start the next teaching. But now, he is the one who is teaching him a lesson instead.

So, the old man used all his strength to suppress Chen Huijie from the border of Dayan back to the inland, and then seriously asked Chen Huijie to follow him and worship him as a teacher, and he would also teach Chen Huijie good skills.

But Chen Huijie's stubborn temper came out and had not subsided yet. In addition, the internal skills he majored in at that time were based on the principle of "eternal life". As long as he was not defeated in one go, he could fight for more than a month.

Then Chen Huijie and the old man started a long offensive and defensive battle around the border of Dayan. To be honest, if the old man could keep his mouth shut, Chen Huijie would have stopped fighting after he had enough and would have had a good talk with the old man. But the old man just cursed, "What did that evil creature Wei Yanwu teach you?" Then Chen Huijie had to fight him to the end no matter what.

Finally, the old man looked at Chen Huijie, who was about to faint from the fight, and sighed, saying that everyone should take a step back. As long as Chen Huijie did not run away from Dayan for the time being, everything would be fine.

At that time, Chen Huijie did not respond to this question. He immediately asked the old man to apologize to his uncle. If he did not apologize, he would not be able to get over it. Then, the old man's face suddenly darkened. After a long silence, the old man nodded and said through gritted teeth:

"Okay, I'll go apologize to Wei Lao Er in person. If he dares to respond, I'll do it!"

After hearing this, Chen Huijie fainted from exhaustion. When he woke up again, he was in Longmen, in his familiar room, with his uncle standing next to him. But for some reason, his uncle's expression was very strange, and his walking posture was not right, as if his butt was injured.

Then, after I woke up, my uncle gave me a book of talismans and a book of thunder magic, saying that the old gentleman saw that I was very talented in these two areas, so I should learn them first, and he would teach me later when he had free time.

However, after that, the old man appeared in front of him less often. Every time he appeared, he would stay by his side for a few days, give him some pointers, and then leave. He seemed very busy.

On the other hand, my uncle had secretly started to help me 'smuggle' myself out of the country, allowing me to study in other countries, as if he was not willing to let me stay in Da Yan any longer...

"Huh? What did you say?!"

As Chen Huijie was recalling and interrogating people, he suddenly heard something interesting. He lifted the head of the priest in front of him with his scabbard, looked down at him and said:

"You said you came to retrieve your divine child?"

"That's right!"

The priest, whose face was covered in dirt after being struck, said in an angry tone:

"Someone has kidnapped the East Country's divine child. Even if Princess Wenyue knew about our actions, she would support us. You must let us go immediately. Otherwise, if we delay the East Country's important events, you will not be able to bear the consequences... Ugh!"

Chen Huijie knocked the priest unconscious with an expressionless face and gave him a concussion package. No matter why these ninjas and priests came, illegal entry and assaulting police officers were enough to arrest them, not to mention that they had disrupted the order of Longmen and illegally detained Longmen citizens by using the barrier method in order to carry out the search mission.

But...the divine child of the East Country...

Could it be the child I knew?

043 Little Fox Lily of the Valley

In the previous world line, Chen Huijie once lived in Rhodes Island for a period of time. Although he spent most of his time there fighting, he also had time to hang out and play on Rhodes Island, such as participating in the Rhodes Island Office All-Around Competition and winning the Round Stool Sliding Competition.

It was during this kind of rest that Chen Huijie was entrusted by Amiya to pick up a couple. The couple left a deep impression on Chen Huijie, because the husband was a clergyman from the East Country, and the wife was a typical member of the Xugula gang. Considering the national conditions, cultural differences, and distance between the two countries, it was really not easy for this couple to be together and still be so loving.

The couple was in some trouble at the time and was discovered by a Rhodes Island operator who was passing by. However, the operator did not think he had the ability to solve the couple's predicament, so he rushed back to the headquarters. However, the operator wanted to find Kal'tsit to report the matter, but the lynx was in a meeting and could not come out for a while, so the operator reported to Amiya instead.

At that time, Chen Huijie was teaching Amiya the method of introspection to help her better adapt to the mental impact brought by her Originium skills. After hearing this report, Amiya immediately looked at Chen Huijie on the side. He took over the job as he had nothing to do for the time being.

Although there were many skilled fighters chasing the couple, Chen Huijie didn't even need to pull out Chi Xiao. He just threw a few talismans and no one was left standing except the couple.

Then, after meeting with Chen Huijie and exchanging information, the wife picked up a dagger and killed all the pursuers, while her husband summoned flames and burned their bodies to ashes. Chen Huijie also cooperated by slapping the air and using his true energy to raise the ashes. Then the couple followed Chen Huijie back to Rhodes Island.

However, Chen Huijie did not pay attention to what the couple wanted to do in Rhodes Island. After returning, Chen Huijie made an appointment to discuss with the old ranger he met by chance, and then continued to teach Amiya the method of Vipassana.

It's strange to say, Amiya is such a smart child, but she can never understand the method of introspection. Chen Huijie can only spend more time and patiently teach her again and again. Finally, he taught the child before leaving.

As for the matter of the couple, Chen Huijie didn't expect there would be any follow-up. After he sparred with Rhodes Island's elite operator Sharp, he returned to the dormitory to wash up and go to see if Korciel had gotten the job he wanted. Suddenly, he found a "little fox carrot" standing at the door of his room.

This was not intentional by Chen Huijie. It was just that the little girl from the Wolper (fox) tribe had nine tails, and the color of the clothes she wore that day made her look like a carrot from behind.

However, Chen Huijie did not recognize this Rhodes Island operator, at least her combat power was not very high. After discovering Chen Huijie, the little Wolper politely expressed his gratitude to him. It was not until then that Chen Huijie learned that the couple was the parents of the little Wolper. This was also the beginning of Chen Huijie and the little Wolper's acquaintance.

This little Wolper's life story happened to be related to the East Country Shrine. Therefore, when Chen Huijie heard the priest mention the 'divine child', he subconsciously thought of the little fellow. He casually sucked a ninja over, checked his equipment, and tried to find the family crest of his family.

Today, the East Country is divided into two camps, the North and the South. The two camps are hostile to each other and have been in civil war for many years. However, the military strength of the Guangyan faction in the north is stronger than that of the Guangyuan faction in the south.

Under the two major factions of the north and the south, the army also pledges allegiance to different families. Their equipment, especially armor, is painted with the family crests of their families. The East has unique soldiers - "Ninja" is no exception.

The ninjas of the Eastern Country have always been famous for their loyalty. It is said that they can climb walls, fly into the sky and hide underground, and take heads in impossible corners. They are highly praised.

While ninjas could be employed by various families or individuals to carry out a variety of secret activities, such as assassination, espionage, protection, and entertainment product smuggling, most ninjas generally remained loyal to the family that trained them. All large and small families in the East would train a group of ninjas who were loyal to them.

Therefore, Chen Huijie planned to see which family in the East Country these ninjas belonged to, but these ninjas did not carry anything related to their power.

But this is not important. Chen Huijie can also judge the ninja school these ninjas belong to from the types of ninja tools they carry. Based on this speculation, he can still determine the Dongguo family they are loyal to.

Chen Huijie's gaze roamed constantly between these ninjas and the priests. The mainstream religions of the Eastern Kingdom were Buddhism, spread by the oni-minds who migrated eastward, and the indigenous Shintoism. This formed a religious pattern of "Shrines in political and economic centers, and Buddhist temples in rural areas." Both religions maintained a stance of political neutrality. And now, the priests were openly mingling with the ninjas of the Eastern Kingdom...

Ah.

Chen Huijie was thinking while knocking on the scabbard, with a sneer on his face, and then he left here, no longer paying attention to these ninjas and priests. He stood up straight, looked around, thinking about the evacuation routes around him, then opened the sewer manhole cover on the side and disappeared into it.

A few minutes later, the police car of the Imperial Guard arrived. Xingxiong looked at the charred earth and couldn't help smacking his lips. He greeted the police officers and said:

"Brothers, be careful when torturing people. These people are well-trained ninjas. Don't get hurt. Also, pay attention to their mouths. Don't let them bite the poison sac in their mouths and commit suicide."

Then, Xingxiong noticed that Jiu beside him had a complicated expression. He nudged her curiously and said softly:

"Nine, what's wrong? Do you see any problem?"

“There’s no problem, it’s just…”

Jiu sighed and whispered:

"Mr. Chen's actions are so quick that it makes me feel like we're just getting some credit for nothing. How about Xingxiong, why don't you talk to Mr. Chen and have him take a position in the Guards Bureau? Anyway, I'm still short of an assistant..."

"Hahaha, this, you go by yourself."

Hearing this, Xingxiong quickly waved his hands and refused uncontrollably:

"Missy has also been trying to get Mr. Chen to help out recently. I won't get involved in the affairs of you two 'big shots'."

But after Xingxiong finished speaking, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. If Jiu and Missy were to fight, then... would Lao Chen also have a chance... Forget it, Lao Chen should just forget it. It would be better to say that Lao Chen went to quarrel than to rescue someone. There would be no chance that he could rescue anyone. Let Jiu and Missy quarrel.

At the same time, on the other side, a manhole cover was quietly opened...

044 The Beast Tide

The manhole cover slowly opened, and a woman who looked quite ordinary, a woman who would have made a lasting impression at first glance at the Longmen morning market, quietly slipped out, carefully surveying her surroundings.

"Don't worry, you're very good at choosing places. This place is very safe."

The sudden voice behind her made the Xugula killer's hair stand on end. She could tell that the person who spoke was waiting for her here, but she... hadn't even noticed the person's breath until now, let alone found his location.

"Don't think too much. I'm not hiding. You can see me if you turn around."

The man's voice continued to be heard. The mother of the Xugula killer slowly turned around and saw the young man with blue hair and red eyes sitting on a chair not far away, only three steps away from her, but she couldn't even hear his breathing.

Who is he? What is he doing here? What should I do?

The killer's mother was quickly thinking about how to deal with the current situation, but Chen Huijie just tapped the ground lightly with his front foot. The killer's mother felt something like a stream of water spreading along the ground. Then, accompanied by a whistling wind, the sewer manhole cover was washed open, and the surging wind pushed a small figure up from the ground.

But the killer's mother could not move. She felt a huge invisible pressure falling on her. With her own strength, she was unable to break free from this suppression.

"Don't be nervous. If I had any hostility, you and your daughter would have been captured by the ninja long ago."

Chen Huijie raised his hand and used his true energy to support the little Wolper. If he remembered correctly, the little girl was still called Lisa, and the Rhodes Island code name "Lily of the Valley" had not yet been given to her.

"But I don't understand why you came to Longmen. Shouldn't you go straight to Xugula from the East Country?"

In the previous world line, after Chen Huijie became familiar with Linglan, he also learned about the little girl's life experience. Linglan's bloodline is special, but her father does not intend to let his daughter be bound by endless priestly work.

Although the Eastern clergyman firmly believed that what he did could bring comfort to the people, he also selfishly hoped that his daughter could have a brighter future. So, Lily of the Valley was secretly taken to Syracuse by her mother.

To be honest, this couple was very bold. The husband was not a high-ranking man, and the wife was just one of the family's capable thugs. However, they were able to smuggle a Nine-tailed Wolper who was identified as the heir out of the closed East Country. Even Chen Huijie had to admire their ability after hearing this.

At the same time, after feeling the suppression on her body disappear, the killer mother immediately protected her daughter. Lisa was also very sensible. She did not make a sound from beginning to end, but just hugged the doll tightly in her arms.

When seeing this doll, Chen Huijie remembered something. He had read Linglan's plan before. The reason why she became infected was that her mother's family was involved in a civil war in the city.

It was also during this rebellion that Lisa, who was her mother's weak spot, was also harmed by the conspiracy. Lisa had just fallen asleep with the doll in her arms when a sharp pain pulled her out of her sleep. The Originium crystal hidden in the doll accurately pierced her left arm.

It can't be this doll... No, this doll shouldn't have any Originium crystals yet... After all, even Xugula hasn't arrived yet. I'm overthinking it.

However, I should also leave an insurance for this little guy.

Chen Huijie pretended to be indifferent and moved his eyes away from the doll. In fact, he was preparing to draw a talisman in the air. He looked at the killer's mother and continued:

"Why don't you answer my question? Is your way blocked by ninjas?"

"Neither. We encountered a rioting beast tide."

Although the mother did not sense any hostility from Chen Huijie, but...

He just sat there and I knew this guy was strong as hell.JPG

Therefore, she answered honestly:

"This beast tide erupted suddenly, cutting off all my previously prepared escape routes to Sygula. I had no choice but to take shelter at Longmen for now."

Beast tide?

Upon hearing this, Chen Huijie frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows. A beast tide is no small matter. It is the same as a flood, with devastating aggressiveness. But since he had no impression of it, it meant that the beast tide was not heading towards Longmen, so there was nothing to worry about.

"I see. Since you can't leave Longmen right now, why don't you consider other options? Like this."

Chen Huijie took out a notebook from his inner pocket, tore off a few sheets of paper filled with words, and handed them to the killer's mother. This was the plan to win them over that he had written based on his memory and the current situation in Dongguo and Xugula while waiting for the mother and daughter here.

At the same time, when the mother's attention was drawn away, the fingers of Chen Huijie's other hand trembled slightly, and a simple talisman was silently printed on the doll.

It was a triggered talisman, which could not be seen at ordinary times. Its power would only be revealed when external force tried to destroy it. The power of the talisman would make the doll instantly become wet, and water would continue to flow out.

I believe that no matter who sees this scene, they will think that there is something wrong with the doll and will check it out. As for Lisa, no matter how sensible this child is, she would never sleep with a doll that sprays water.

"This....You want me to stay in Longmen and work for you?"

The killer's mother's expression changed as she looked at the things on the paper. Indeed, Syracuse was not a good place, and her family had recently been in possibility of conflict with the Saluzzo Family, which was one of the most dangerous families in Syracuse.

If I go back at this point in time, I will probably be inevitably involved in the struggle between families. The struggle between families is very cruel. I have become accustomed to that kind of life, but Lisa... can I really protect her?

Thinking of this, the killer's mother's gaze returned to the paper. Although it wasn't written explicitly, she could sense that both the current undercurrents in the East Country and the current family disputes in Xugula seemed to be under the control of this young man. Moreover, this man possessed astonishing strength, but...

"Mr. Chen! Is it really you? Why are you here?"

045 The figure in my memory

The killer mother had a lot on her mind at this moment. Her husband did not want Lisa to be bound by the rigid clerical work, so he worked with her to smuggle his daughter out of the East Country. But they had to admit that Syracuse was a land full of chaos and conspiracy, and the parents were also worried about this. But if they had to make a choice, Syracuse would undoubtedly allow Lisa to embrace her future better than the East Country.

But now... another choice appeared before her, Longmen, Dayan's new mobile city, a city that is more vibrant than Dongguo and more stable than Syracuse, a city that is more suitable for children to live and grow.

The price of settling in this city was to take some risks, become the subordinate of this unknown young man, and carry out missions where life and death were uncertain. This was no different from what he had done in Syracuse, but this solicitation was too sudden. He still had no idea who this unknown young man was...

"Mr. Chen! Is it really you? Why are you here?"

At this moment, an unexpected voice sounded. The killer's mother looked up and saw a female Pero Guards officer appear at the street corner. She looked at the boy in front of her and asked in a very friendly tone:

"Can I help you with anything?"

Chen Huijie glanced at the police officer and understood what she meant. After all, the expressions of the mother and daughter in front of him were quite wrong, as if they were caught in the act. So the police officer came over to ask if she needed help to take these two suspicious mother and daughter back to the Guard Bureau.

Ok?

At this moment, Chen Huijie noticed one thing, that is, little Wolper in the killer's mother's arms was looking at him with clear eyes. The initial uneasiness and fear on her face were no longer there. She was tilting her head and looking at him cutely.

After all, he is just a child.

Chen Huijie smiled in his heart and stopped paying attention to Lisa. He looked at the police officer and said:

"Did Xingxiong find out something during the interrogation?"
