reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

In the past, she was taught the Crimson Sky Sword Technique by Wei Yanwu.

Feeling she had achieved something, Chen Huijie wanted to show it to Wei Yanwu, but never succeeded. It wasn't until she was in a coma for five days and handed over Jueying that Wei Yanwu placed Chixiao by her bedside.

After that, they ignored it again.

"How is it now?"

For the first time in over a decade, Wei Yanwu took advantage of Bai Ye's opportunity to inquire about Chen Huijie's swordsmanship.

"The Shadowless Formation is complete, but the Cloud Split is not yet finished," Chen Huijie replied honestly.

Bai Ye was right. Her swordsmanship was not complete. If Bai Ye wanted to learn it, he could only learn the first five moves.

Although Bai Ye is very likely to deduce the subsequent sword moves, it cannot be guaranteed that they will be exactly the same as the original.

Chen Huijie's answer left Wei Yanwu speechless.

After a moment of silence, he slowly stood up.

"Bai Ye, Hui Jie, watch carefully. I will only demonstrate this Crimson Sky Sword Technique once."

For Chen Huijie, she has already mastered swordsmanship; all she needs to do is review and learn new skills.

As for Bai Ye, with his level of skill, demonstrating it once was enough.

Therefore, once is enough.

"Here you go." Chen Huijie took the Crimson Cloud Sword from behind her back, intending to hand it to Wei Yanwu.

However, Lao Wei reached out and blocked Chen Huijie.

He didn't take Chixiao, but instead extended his finger.

Immediately, Bai Ye and Chen Huijie felt an imposing and awe-inspiring aura emanating from him.

It seems that the Crimson Sky Sword Technique is not limited to weapons; it can be performed even with just one's fingers.

Chen Huijie's eyes widened. Clearly, even though she already knew that Wei Yanwu's swordsmanship was far beyond her reach, she still couldn't have imagined that this person could perform the Crimson Sky Sword Technique with just his fingers.

How could he save face after using the Sword of Tears to cut down the old tree? No wonder Wei Yanwu didn't even express his opinion back then; his words were probably not enough to refute it.

……

While Chen Huijie felt inferior, Bai Ye accelerated his thinking. He was very interested in swordsmanship that involved mindset and willpower.

His intuition told him that this was the key to further improving his swordsmanship from the expert level.

Bai Ye's skill level has been stuck at [Cold Weapon - Swordsmanship (Expert)] for a long time, although with the mastery of his powers, the actual destructive power he can cause has long exceeded this level.

However, increased destructive power does not mean that the essence has changed.

In the past, he believed that all the outcomes of a battle could be reduced to data calculations and predictions. However, swordsmanship, which involves will and mind, is indeed a huge variable that he cannot predict.

Or rather, it is indeed possible to perform the calculations, but the computational load is far too large, and the amount of data that needs to be collected far exceeds its capacity.

Therefore, Bai Ye's intuition told him that the opportunity to further improve his swordsmanship lay in this.

Although my current strength is more than enough, as a player, the pursuit of higher-dimensional power has long been an instinct.

He watched Wei Yanwu's movements intently, sensing the will contained within them.

Although this person's destructive power and combat strength were indeed inferior to his own, in some aspects, he was still ahead of Bai Ye—

"...How many moves did you see?"

Wei Yanwu lowered his fingers.

Bai Ye did not answer, but closed his eyes and pondered. After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "I saw the Seven Forms, but now, I have forgotten them all."

Bai Ye's swordsmanship does not require specific moves; everything about Chi Xiao has been integrated into his own database.

The rest is about digesting it and making it your own.

“That’s right, it’s the seventh form.” Wei Yanwu nodded. He was very satisfied with this young man. “The Crimson Sky Sword Technique has seven forms: Draw Sword, Tearful Edge, Running Night, Raise Eyebrows, Shadowless, Cloud Crack, and Sky Gaze.”

"Hui Jie is already able to use Jue Ying, Yun Lie is not yet fully developed, and Tian Cheng is completely clueless."

He paused, then suddenly smiled: "Forgetting the sword techniques is a good thing, you've already learned them."

Clearly, Bai Ye had grasped the essence of Chi Xiao.

'Not enough...'

Bai Ye could sense the progress of his skill level improvement. Trying to fill this huge gap with experience points was a pipe dream, but learning a few more martial arts similar to Chi Xiao would probably be enough.

It seems that agreeing to go to Da Yan together with Nian was the right thing to do.

Bai Ye's agreement to help Wei Yanwu deal with the Great Yan's inspection team also stemmed from his desire to make contact with the Yan Kingdom.

Just then, the screen in Wei Yanwu's reception room cracked with a loud crack.

Bai Ye and Chen Huijie then realized that the screen had been cut open at some point.

“Oh no—” Wei Yanwu’s expression changed.

Ultimately, he was a bit rusty and couldn't fully control the sharpness of his sword moves.

Now, he's going to get scolded by the lady, after all, this screen is Lady Wenyue's beloved possession.

However, Wei Yanwu did not panic. Instead, he waved for Bai Ye and Chen Huijie to leave, then got up and closed the door.

Bai Ye walked out of the reception room, and soon after, he suddenly heard a faint sound of ears being pulled coming from inside the room.

Bai Ye couldn't help but smile. He quickly realized what had happened in the room.

It seems the ninjas of the Eastern Kingdom are indeed loyal to the princess of the Eastern Kingdom; it was probably she who informed Wen Yue. Otherwise, the lady wouldn't have known so quickly that Wei Yanwu had done something wrong.

Bai Ye snapped out of his daze and then saw Chen Huijie staring at him with dead fish eyes.

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Dragon Gate Profanities

Actually, compared to the beginning, this Chen Sir from the Lungmen Guard Bureau has changed quite a bit.

In the past, Chen Huijie always gave acquaintances a feeling of being burdened with a heavy burden, as if she was always moving forward with something on her back; while to strangers, she was a terrible, strict, and somewhat difficult boss.

The entire police force of the Lungmen Guard Bureau is actually quite afraid of her. On the contrary, the head of the Guard Bureau doesn't have such a strong presence.

Incidentally, there are also factional struggles within the Guard Bureau. The current head of the Guard Bureau is a member of "Adams-Swire".

Yes, that is, Miss Swire's grandfather.

Although Adams himself maintained a good relationship with Wei Yanwu, and had even fought alongside him against Duke Koschlä, the Swire family's business in Lungmen was growing, and their commercial alliance was expanding, inevitably leading to conflicts and friction with the Lungmen government.

Especially after Adams, known as the "Sick Tiger," had been bedridden for 14 years, his subordinates inevitably engaged in chaotic, foolish, and self-righteous behavior in carrying out his will.

The relationship between the Adams family and Wei Yanwu gradually became distant.

Chen Huijie's past wasn't easy either. Although she never admitted it, in the eyes of others, she was Wei Yanwu's person, representing the interests of Longmen and even the nobles of the Great Yan.

Therefore, even the sharp exchanges between Chen Huijie and Swire can be interpreted as an exchange of opinions between two factions, and they were probably instructed by their elders.

However, in Chen Huijie's view, this struggle is meaningless, since not everyone has such lofty awareness and such a strong desire to find her sister.

The vast majority of people in this world are ordinary people who don't stand that high; they only care about the small part that they can reach.

……

Of course, Chen Huijie has changed a lot now, even if she herself has not realized it yet, but this change is so great that everyone in the Guard Bureau is wondering if this fierce boss has encountered something good.

Some people even say that Chen Huijie is already married, and there are many different opinions about her partner. Some people guess that it is Bai Ye, and some people even guess that it is Swire.

I wonder which brilliant person came up with this idea. If the people involved knew, their expressions would probably be priceless.

Chen Huijie naturally wouldn't pay attention to so many trivial matters. She just felt more comfortable than before, and the negative emotions that had been accumulating in her heart for too long were finally released.

However, Chen Huijie was now staring at Bai Ye with a fierce look on her face, full of resentment.

"What's wrong?" Bai Ye turned around and was startled by her appearance.

"I feel a little resentful... no, this is a matter of dignity." Chen Huijie gritted her teeth.

Bai Ye still didn't quite understand.

“I’ve practiced swordsmanship for over a decade, and you learned it in just one look. I feel a sense of defeat.” Chen Huijie looked at the Crimson Sky swordsmanship behind her.

Byakuya shrugged.

Chen Huijie continued, "Don't tell Swire about this. I don't want her to laugh at me."

"What? What? Chen, what are you hiding from me?" Swire's voice suddenly rang out behind the two of them, which startled Chen Huijie.

"You...you rascal, how come you appear and disappear like a ghost?" Chen Huijie glared at the little tiger with annoyance.

"You guys were too engrossed in your conversation to notice. By the way, Bai Ye, is there anything interesting that Chen is hiding from me?" Swire rolled her eyes, ignoring Chen Huijie, who was now clenching her fists.

"Oh, Old Chen bought a martial arts novel in the core city before." Bai Ye made up a reason on the spot.

That's true; some books really can only be bought in the core cities. This is because these books are produced by players who don't want to participate in combat.

They find great fun in other ways, such as culturally invading other worlds.

This includes some martial arts novels, which is the type of novel Chen Huijie likes to read.

"Haha, Ah Chen, it turns out you haven't changed at all." Sure enough, the little tiger was easily fooled by Bai Ye.

She looked at Chen Huijie and laughed.

"None of your business!" Chen Huijie breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed this guy knew nothing.

"By the way, Lao Chen, when did you get back?" Bai Ye finally had a chance to ask.

“There was a natural disaster in Lungmen before. After the disturbance subsided, I returned with Lady Wenyue.”

Bai Ye fell silent; it turned out this was also his fault...

“It’s been a long time since the three of us have seen each other.” Swire was happy to see Bai Ye and Chen Huijie.

“You might be assigned to the special inspection team of the Guard Bureau in the future,” Chen Huijie said suddenly, looking at Shi Huaiya.

"Huh?!" Swire was taken aback after hearing this, as if she doubted that she had heard clearly.

Chen Huijie repeated, "I said, from now on, I will no longer be the head of the Special Inspection Team of the Guard Bureau. This position will be handed over to you."

"Why!" Swire's voice suddenly rose an octave, and Bai Ye, who was standing next to her, immediately covered his ears—the cat's meow was too loud.

Chen Huijie tilted her head: "What, you're not happy? Haven't you always wanted to replace me in this position?"

“I…” Swire choked.

"Work hard from now on," Chen Huijie patted Swire on the shoulder.

The little tiger asked in a low voice, "Where are you going in the future? I don't want to take your place in this way."

"Me? In the future, I'm going to—pfft… I'm going to be the director of the Guard Bureau." Chen Huijie couldn't hold back her laughter any longer and burst out laughing.

"Of course I won't leave so easily. How do you feel now? Aren't you much happier?" After Chen Huijie finished speaking, she began to observe Swire's expression.

"??"

Swire's expression froze, revealing an expression as if he knew the world was about to be destroyed.

A moment later, she let out a roar and lunged at Chen Huijie—

-------------------------------------

"So sudden? The former bureau chief is retiring?" Bai Ye asked curiously.

On the other side, Chen Huijie and Shi Huaiya were panting heavily, their clothes disheveled.

Bai Ye didn't look away.

Chen Huijie took a breath and then shrugged: "Yeah. That person is getting old and will be retiring soon, so he was transferred to another position."

“To take your place in this way is even worse… *Lungmen curse*” Swire also gritted her teeth.

However, at this moment, the factions within the Lungmen Guard Bureau are still in balance. The director is Chen Huijie, but the head of the Major Crimes Unit is Swire, so it can be considered that the situation is fairly balanced.

Chapter 100 Cloud Crack

Chen Huijie was not joking.

Normally, personnel changes at this level involve many aspects, but this time, the changes were completed in a short period of time.

It seems that Wei Yanwu had already discussed and arranged this matter with Chen Huijie before meeting Bai Ye.
