Just as the black-cloaked shadow guards on both sides were leaving, Bai Xue suddenly appeared, knelt on one knee on the ground, and reported in a serious voice:

"Miss, I want to see you for something."

"Oh? What a rare visitor! That stubborn guy actually came to me on his own initiative?"

Wei Yanwu flipped through the documents in his hand and said helplessly:

"What's going on? You can't be here to criticize me, the Governor, for doing something wrong."

"Not this time."

Bai Xue was silent for a moment. Ever since Chen Huijie joined the Imperial Guards, the relationship between her and Governor Wei had gradually become subtle and complicated. Chen Huijie always upheld her persistent pursuit of justice and fairness, especially when she believed that certain policies or decisions went against the principles in her heart, she would not hesitate to come to Governor Wei and directly express her doubts and dissatisfaction.

However, every communication often ends in a heated argument, and sometimes even turns into a bad mood. It is difficult to reach an agreement on some key issues, which casts a shadow on their relationship.

Faced with this situation, Chen Huijie gradually realized that frequent questioning and arguments would not change Governor Wei's decision, but might instead exacerbate the gap between them.

So, she began to reduce the number of visits, choosing to express her views through other channels or in more mature communication methods, trying to find a more effective communication model.

To be honest, Bai Xue didn't think this was a problem. Miss Chen was still so young, it was normal for her to have a sense of adventure, but... forget it, she should not think too much about the head of the family's affairs.

"I came to ask for swordsmanship lessons."

“Uh…oh?!”

Wei Yanwu nodded at first, then realized something, raised his head suddenly, and said unexpectedly:

"She actually came here to ask for swordsmanship lessons?! Oh, how bizarre, she actually asked that question... What has she been through recently? She came here to learn swordsmanship... What is she trying to deal with?!"

To be honest, when Wei Yanwu heard Bai Xue's words, his first reaction was indeed the "Uncle, teach me, Jiejie, Jianjian" in his dream. Although it was twenty years late, it was here after all, so there was nothing wrong with teaching him.

However, Wei Yanwu changed his mind and thought about his niece's personality. He felt that something was wrong. This was unusual, so there must be something wrong. If she was willing to bow her head and come to him, there must be something more troublesome. She bowed her head first, and it must be a relatively personal matter...

Wait, I think I understand. This unlucky girl... isn't she planning to learn swordsmanship from me so she can challenge Xiaojie to a duel?!

Chapter 140 Wen Yue: Is this called Huijie from another world?

Wei Yanwu was right. Chen Huijie, who was sitting in the living room chatting with Wen Yue, really came here with the intention of learning skills.

The experience of being 'ignored' last night made Chen Huijie so angry that she couldn't sleep the whole night when she returned home. She felt that she was no longer feeling outdone by others, but that she had gradually been ignored by that person. From a relatively well-known figure, she had become an insignificant female tourist NPC!

This cannot be tolerated no matter what. At least... at least that guy must be made to speak again and take the initiative to teach himself something!

Chen Huijie curled up on the bed, biting her nails, staring at Chi Xiao angrily, thinking seriously about countermeasures, wondering what to do. After all, there seemed to be a big gap between her and him, whether in terms of actions or brainpower.

An old thing, he must be an old thing.

Chen Huijie remembered W's words again, and while muttering to herself, she let go of her nails, then hugged her legs and continued to stare at Chi Xiao. If he was not an old man, how could he know so many things and be so capable? Could he split one day into several days?

In the end, after much thought, Chen Huijie felt that she didn't have the strength, so she could do nothing!

Facing the insurmountable peak of "Chen Huijie," Chen Huijie's heart was filled with desire and determination for the challenge. She knew that using her hands was more suitable for her than using her brain, and if she wanted to make a breakthrough in swordsmanship, she had to find a master who could guide her.

As a result, among the people Chen Huijie knew, besides Chen Huijie, she thought the person most likely to provide help was her uncle Wei Yanwu. After all, no matter how much prejudice Chen Huijie had against her uncle, she had to admit that Wei Yanwu was also a powerful swordsman.

Furthermore, Chen Huijie recently learned "sword spirit" from a dream, but this "sword spirit" is sometimes effective and sometimes not, causing Chen Huijie great distress. She believes that if she can get some guidance from her uncle and fully master this sword spirit, she can greatly improve her swordsmanship and ultimately achieve another challenge against Chen Huijie.

Therefore, Chen Huijie decided to put aside his pride temporarily and ask his uncle for help. After all, he became stronger, which was not a bad thing for his son Wei Yanwu. There was an extra capable police officer in the Guard Bureau, which was not a bad thing!

However, what Chen Huijie didn't expect was that Wei Yanwu did not come to see her. Bai Xue brought his words, saying that there was no need to discuss swordsmanship before he could draw out Chixiao. Of course, if she really had any doubts, he was busy handling official business now, and he would come and tell her in detail after he finished.

After hearing this, Chen Huijie no longer had any thoughts of staying. Wei Yanwu was busy with official business, so it would be fine if he lied to other people about this kind of thing. Anyone who had lived in the Governor's Mansion for a few years should know how lazy this Governor was. Firstly, there were no major events, and secondly, there were no foreign guests visiting. What was there for him to be busy with? He was just perfunctorily trying to please me.

In that case, why should I stay here? At worst, I can practice on my own. Anyway, I can learn the sword intent in my dreams, which shows that my talent is still very good. At worst, I can just spend more time and study it carefully!

Mrs. Wenyue watched Chen Huijie angrily depart, feeling helpless and distressed. She hesitated several times to speak, but ultimately chose not to ask for her to stay. She understood that even if she forced Chen Huijie to stay, the atmosphere would likely not become relaxed or joyful. To give both parties time to calm down, she decided to let Chen Huijie leave first, to prevent the situation from escalating and leading to a larger argument.

After Chen Huijie disappeared from view, Wen Yue fell into deep thought. She decided to go to the study to have a conversation with Wei Yanwu. She saw this as a rare opportunity to ease the tension between Chen Huijie and Wei Yanwu.

Wei Yanwu's current attitude seemed to make this opportunity seem slim. Wen Yue knew that while she couldn't interfere too much in official matters, she had the right and responsibility to express her opinions on family matters.

Wen Yue was thinking in her mind that she hoped that through communicating with Wei Yanwu, she could make him realize Chen Huijie's dedication and efforts during this period, as well as her importance as a family member. After all, they had already lost Xiaota, and they couldn't keep pushing Huijie out of the family.

Indeed, Wen Yue knew that Chen Huijie's straightforwardness and stubbornness revealed the child's immaturity, but... she was just a child after all. Huijie was only in her twenties and still a long way from thirty. How could she be measured by such high standards?

Therefore, Wen Yue still hopes that Wei Yanwu can lower his standards a little, be a little more frank, and give Chen Huijie more guidance and support. As a parent, isn't it your job to worry more about your children?

However, on the way to the secondary study, Wen Yue's heart was still full of anticipation and worry. She didn't know how many times such conversations had happened over the years. She hoped that through her own efforts, she could bring positive changes to the relationship between family members.

At the same time, she also understands that such communication requires wisdom and patience, and that it is necessary to find a balance on the basis of maintaining family harmony so that everyone can feel respected and understood.

But unfortunately, both the big and small ones in the family are stubborn.

However, when Wen Yue arrived outside the secondary study, she was stunned by the scene before her. Wei Yanwu was buried in a mountain of documents, his expression focused and serious.

Wen Yue also noticed piles of completed documents on the table, which surprised her. She hadn't seen Wei Yanwu working so diligently in a long time, and in such a short time, he had already handled so many things...

A flicker of surprise flashed across Wen Yue's eyes, and she widened them slightly, as if pondering something. She hadn't expected Wei Yanwu to have accomplished such a large amount of work during this period. This not only changed her view of Wei Yanwu, but also made her realize that perhaps some of her previous misunderstandings about him needed to be re-examined.

Wen Yue stood there, quietly watching Wei Yanwu's busy figure, a complex emotion welling up in her heart. She realized that Wei Yanwu wasn't being pretentious, but simply had too much to deal with. It seemed that during this period of relative peace, she had become somewhat dulled, a little too immersed in romantic affairs.

Now, my husband has been the first to wake up from his comfort, so I have to... No, it doesn't seem like all this is done by my husband, and his efficiency is not that fast, so what's going on?

Wen Yue, who had regained consciousness, immediately realized that something was wrong. After thinking for a moment, she moved her feet and left the secondary study. She quietly asked the black-cloaked shadow guard not far away what had happened. Then she heard the name "Chen Huijie" again.

Wen Yue was no stranger to this name. She had heard it many times over the past few days, especially in connection with the events surrounding the Eastern Kingdom's Divine Child.

It was said that the young man acted decisively and ruthlessly, adopting a zero-tolerance attitude towards any forces sent by the East Kingdom to Longmen, and all of them were sent to the Imperial Guard's iron cage without exception. This almost provocative behavior might seem bold and fearless, even reckless, to others, but to Wen Yue, it revealed an unquestionable determination and courage.

She knew very well that in the complicated situation between Dongguo and Longmen, such an action was like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake, causing ripples.

What impressed Wenyue even more was that the young man had actually left a unique mark on the wall, under the watchful eyes of the Eastern Ninja and Priests. To the Eastern Ninja and Priests, that mark was a warning, a forewarning of death, and a symbol of dignity that must not be violated.

Bai Xue's description made her feel as if she had witnessed the tension and oppression of that moment firsthand, as well as the chain reaction that would follow. She couldn't help but wonder if the East Kingdom really did send another envoy, what awaited them might truly be an unavoidable conflict and bloodshed.

Speaking of this young man's fighting prowess, Wen Yue felt a mixture of emotions. News from various sources consistently revealed his extraordinary strength, as if he could single-handedly safeguard the peace of this land.

This power made her feel both reassured and slightly uneasy. She felt reassured that having such a powerful figure standing at the side of Dragon Gate undoubtedly added a solid line of defense to the city; yet she felt uneasy because if such power were misused, the consequences would be disastrous.

Putting aside these political issues, Wen Yue personally held a certain fondness for this young man. As a princess of the Eastern Kingdom's Southern Dynasty, even though this identity had been replaced by that of the Longmen Governor's wife, she was reluctant to relinquish it lightly. However, due to her connection to the Eastern Kingdom, she was bound to encounter some unnecessary trouble.

Wen Yue was well aware of the complex interplay of forces within the Eastern Kingdom, and her status as a Southern Dynasty princess inevitably made her a target of covetousness. Therefore, she felt a certain appreciation for the young man's actions. His actions not only protected Longmen but also provided an additional layer of protection for Wen Yue, sparing her from this tangible threat. This allowed her to live in Longmen with greater peace of mind, free from the worry of potential crises from the Eastern Kingdom.

However, Wen Yue also felt that if the divine child from the East Country did not leave, she would sooner or later be implicated... But that was a story for later.

As for the identity of this 'Chen Huijie'... Wen Yue felt a headache when she recalled the scene of yesterday.

Just yesterday afternoon, her husband, who was usually calm and reserved and always able to lead the way at critical moments, revealed a shocking piece of news to her with a hint of subtle nervousness and anticipation.

He has a nephew from another world and needs her help to take care of him.

At that moment, Wen Yue's mind seemed to flash with countless fireworks, then quickly extinguished, leaving only confusion and bewilderment. Her first reaction was almost instinctive...

"A dragon cheated?"

This thought spread like wildfire, instantly occupying her mind. She couldn't believe that the man who had walked through the storms with her and guarded the Dragon Gate together would have such a secret.

However, as Wei Yanwu's words gradually unfolded, those absurd fantasies began to be shattered bit by bit by reality. His words were filled with sincerity and resignation, explaining that the appearance of this nephew from another world wasn't due to any betrayal, but rather a miracle beyond common sense, transcending time and space. Wen Yue listened intently, the turmoil in her heart gradually subsiding, replaced by a sense of wonder at the infinite possibilities of this world.

Although all this still sounded incredible, Wen Yue knew that her husband was no one who acted without purpose. Since he had made such a request, he must have had his reasons and considerations. So, through a mixture of reason and emotion, she tried to accept this fact, even though a trace of indescribable complex emotions still lingered in her heart.

only……

Why is this nephew from another world different from what I imagined?

Wen Yue was a little shocked as she calculated the number of documents, then compared it with the speed at which her husband usually handled official business. She also considered that a certain Long had drunk and slept last night, while that Xiao Chen had been working all night for Longmen. How could Wen Yue suddenly not tell who was the uncle and who was the nephew?

Also, didn't my husband say... this nephew from another world is Huijie from another world? Can Huijie handle all these things?

Wen Yue couldn't help but imagine Chen Huijie sitting at his desk, directing the black-capped shadow guards to move around.

No, this is a bit beyond the scope. I can't imagine it. Maybe I have to wait a few years until Huijie grows up a little bit, and then I can...

In that case, perhaps I have to change my attitude and thoughts towards that nephew from another world. At least the tricks I used to appease Huijie are unlikely to work on him.

Thinking of this, Wen Yue didn't say anything more and quietly returned to her room.

On the other side, after leaving the office of the Guard Bureau, Chen Huijie went to recover the five luck media. Although the spiritual energy of those media had been exhausted by the formation, they were made with his own essence and blood and were contaminated with luck. If they were left there, it might cause trouble for Longmen in the future.

After properly dealing with those media, Chen Huijie looked at the rising sun and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this should be the fourth day of his "rebirth" after traveling through time.

Then, Chen Huijie raised his hand and knocked on the door of Li's office. As soon as the door opened, he heard Ah's wailing...

Chapter 141 W, what’s wrong with you?

The warm morning light spread over Chen Huijie, dispelling the night chill that had been lingering on him. Looking at the new sun, Chen Huijie smiled slightly. As the morning light rose, his fourth day in this new world officially began. He had made good use of the first three days. Although not as good as when he was still a dragon, he had not missed any important things. So he might as well give himself a passing grade.

During this period of time, I seemed to have become the NPC that would regularly spawn at the entrance of the Li Office in the morning.

Chen Huijie looked at the familiar door, complaining about this matter in his heart while knocking on the door. Then, he heard a wailing sound from inside. Chen Huijie subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword, but he also heard Lao Li's laughter, which was full of pride. Chen Huijie thought about it, and seemed to guess what happened, so he let go of the hilt with a helpless smile.

Old Li, who had no idea that he was about to say goodbye to his front door, walked over quickly, opened the door, and smiled as he invited Chen Huijie to come in and sit down. Then, not too happy, Ah jumped down from the sofa, looked at Chen Huijie and said:

"Why do you always like to come at this time? Tell me, what's the matter with you this time? Do you want me to check your body again?"

"Forget about the physical examination. I hope Doctor Xiao A can help me analyze the ingredients of this medicine and see if I can imitate it."

Chen Huijie took out the X treasure and waved it towards Ah. Ah raised his eyebrows, took the tonic, and walked towards the laboratory while saying:

"Okay, I'll give it a try. But first, let me make it clear that most of my work here is medical equipment. I may not be able to do this kind of reverse engineering work. But regardless of success or failure, you must pay the commission fee in full."

"It's natural."

After watching Ah Guai enter the laboratory and close the door, Chen Huijie turned his head to look at Lao Li, stretched out his hand towards him, just smiling and not saying anything. Lao Li blinked and suddenly realized something. He and Ah Guai had made a bet whether Chen Huijie would come over this morning. The bet was the snacks that Ah Guai had just bought last night but was reluctant to eat and the sumptuous meal that Lao Li had cooked himself today. Obviously, Lao Li won.

"Mr. Chen, you get up so early every day, can you sleep well?"

Lao Li brought Ah's snack box and placed it on the table. He and Chen Huijie each picked up a piece of cake and sat on the sofa, chatting casually.

"You're so young, you won't grow if you don't sleep well."

"It's okay. I'm used to staying up late. Sometimes I feel uncomfortable when I sleep too much."

Chen Huijie was indeed a little hungry, so he stuffed food into his mouth without hesitation. He picked out the pastries that seemed sweeter. It was not a matter of taste, but in Chen Huijie's cognition, sweeter meant more energy.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to have a sweet tooth."

The confused old carp raised his eyebrows, smiled and said jokingly:

"It seems I have to prepare some specialties from Rutland for you."

"Forget this one. The food in Rutland is too greasy and makes my throat choke."

This is true. Chen Huijie really can't eat it. Once, because of the Archangel, he went to Lateran. The people there really love sweets. According to Lemiaoan, a qualified Lateran can make at least more than 20 kinds of desserts. Chen Huijie lived there for a while and felt that he would hurt himself if he ate too much dessert.

"Mr. Li, do you remember the apology you promised me?"

Chen Huijie stuffed some food into his stomach and felt a little better. Then he leaned back on the sofa, looked at Lao Li and said softly:

"Now I've decided what I want you to do."

"Oh, then I wonder what Mr. Chen wants me to do?"

Lao Li paused slightly when he heard this, then looked at Chen Huijie, feeling a little uneasy. He had already found out what this Mr. Chen had done through the intelligence network, or knew some of his deeds.

What shocked Lao Li the most was that his intelligence network was unable to keep up for the first time. This young man was too busy, and it seemed that only by focusing on him all the time could his intelligence network keep up with him.

"I remember there was some kind of gang ranking list in the ghetto."

Chen Huijie looked at Lao Li and said with a smile:

"Then let the top five gangs get active. There should be a lot of conflicts between them. Mr. Li, please intensify them and make them fight. It would be best if it were a melee. The bigger the melee, the better. Mr. Li, don't worry about the Rat King. The Rat King will cooperate with you, but his people won't be the first to take action."

"...Mr. Chen, you really think highly of me."

Lao Li was silent for a moment, then smiled politely and said softly:

"Let's assume I can do this. If those gangs start fighting, it won't be a good thing for this place. Mr. Chen, I know you have the ability, but given your ability, it wouldn't be difficult for you to establish your own base in the slums. Why resort to such means? Life is not easy for everyone here, so please be understanding."

"Since Mr. Li knows that I'm very capable, why do you think I shouldn't make a name for myself, but instead try to get involved here?"

Chen Huijie naturally understood what Lao Li had misunderstood, and said softly:

"It's too chaotic here, so chaotic it seems we've become accustomed to it, stuck in the old ways. Mr. Li, when did people start forgetting this is Longmen 22-29, the lower city area, and not the so-called slums? When did people start thinking that living here means misfortune? When did people start thinking that being born here means being born lowly?"

Chen Huijie looked into Lao Li's eyes, and his tone was as if he was discussing something with him, but Lao Li felt a shocking firmness and determination from it, as if as his words fell, the current situation of the lower city area of Longmen No. 22 to 29 was destined to change.
