Chapter 109: Chapter 84 Dual Cultivation Secret Technique! Soft Little Brain Axe~ (6K)
Chen Mo had heard of the renowned Earth Master Thousand Households, Ye Zi’e.
Despite her delicate and ethereal appearance, she behaved perversely, a true wildcard.
Dual Cultivation?
Could it be an attempt to cultivate using deceitful means?
Chen Mo inwardly scoffed at the idea, but didn’t take it too seriously, excusing himself by saying, "Honored by Mr. Ye’s recognition, however, I am just a humble officer at the Ding Fire Department, preoccupied with mundane duties..."
Ye Zi’e waved her hand dismissively, and said, "That old fellow Bai Lingchuan doesn’t have many years left, staying at the Ding Fire Department has no future. If there’s a chance, I’ll find a way to pull you out."
While speaking, she pulled out a book from her sleeve and handed it to Chen Mo.
"Practice well, and when you reach fourth-rank, I will come to assess your progress."
"Hm?"
Chen Mo looked down and saw several large characters on the blue cover: "Dong Xuanzi Yin Yang Thirty-Six Skills."
(⊙ˍ⊙)?
Is this for real?
Busy when there’s work, idle when there’s none?
Lifting his head again, he saw the purple-clad figure had already vanished without a trace.
Chen Mo was momentarily silent.
Before he could fully process it, a looming shadow fell over him. It was Li Kui approaching, his dark eyes scrutinizing him with curiosity.
Chen Mo greeted: "Mr. Li."
He had never met this Deputy Thousand Households before, yet the man had clearly shown him favor just now.
To go against the well-established Jian Yinsan for a new Hundred Households’ sake must have a reason. Surely it wasn’t just because he was handsome.
"No wonder you’re so bold, having the backing of two Thousand Households?"
"Lord Shen asked me to take good care of you. It seems unnecessary now... Still, different government departments traditionally do not interfere with each other. Even if you have strong backers, in the Fire Department, you must still follow the rules. After all, Mr. Yun is not always so timely."
Li Kui was tall and mighty, but he spoke in a surprisingly soft, childish voice, which was quite dissonant.
"So it was Lord Shen giving unseen support?"
A warm feeling surged in Chen Mo’s heart.
It seemed this generous acting uncle cared quite a bit about him.
Regarding today’s matter, he gambled on Jian Yinsan having skeletons in the closet, making them fear escalating the issue.
Certain issues could be deemed big or small, but digging further might reveal substantial hidden implications.
Chen Mo, with much on his plate, was indifferently unaffected, but Jian Yinsan could not afford to gamble.
However, Li Kui meant well, and Chen Mo didn’t say much, simply bowing again: "Thanks for the advice, Mr. Li."
Li Kui poked his shoulder approvingly, "Not bad, robust muscles and bones, full of vitality, great material for body refinement. It’s just... a bit too frail."
"If you have time, you’re welcome to train with me at the Heavenly Martial Arena."
?
Chen Mo’s eyebrows twitched, it was his first time being called "frail."
But glancing at Li Kui’s arms, which were nearly as thick as his own thighs... he bowed his head silently, saying, "Thank you for your concern."
"Be careful, Jian Yinsan is not the type to suffer losses."
Li Kui said in his soft voice, then turned and left.
Watching his broad and bear-like back, Chen Mo shook his head with a smile. This Deputy Thousand Households, though physically bulky, had a nuanced mind.
"Chen Mo, are you alright?"
At this moment, Li Yuan strode over, not bothering to keep her distance, grabbed his wrist, and channeled her True Qi to thoroughly check on him.
Chen Mo seemed to have the upper hand just now, but the difference in their cultivation realms was significant; who knew if he had sustained any hidden injuries?
After examining, she found his meridians stable, his True Yuan pure, and incredibly, his cultivation had advanced another level.
"You, you’ve made a breakthrough?" Li Yuan blinked, unbelieving.
Chen Mo nodded, "I had some insights previously in Linglan County. The confrontation earlier clarified my thoughts, and I naturally broke through."
...
Hearing his casual explanation, Li Yuan took a sharp breath.
Hadn’t he just advanced to Sixth-Rank not long ago?
Less than two months, and yet another breakthrough?
This pace...
Then again, it made sense, Chen Mo had bested her upon entering Sixth-Rank, not even old fifth-grade Chu Zhuo was his match, probably a sudden burst after a realization.
She had once boasted about keeping Chen Mo under pressure; now, it seemed she might be pressed down by this rascal forever...
Then, Li Yuan thought of something, curiously asking, "By the way, what’s your Martial Spirit? It must be a sabre, right?"
Typically, a Martial Artist’s Martial Spirit would be the weapon they were most proficient with.
Chen Mo’s expression was peculiar as he vaguely replied, "Uh, something like that."
Businesses and conversations at the training ground gradually dispersed.
Qiu Longgang arranged for people to take Jian Yinsan for treatment; after all, his injuries were severe, and
he shouldn’t be left uncared for.
But the cost of healing, that was for Lord Jian to figure out himself.
"Mr. Chen is truly fierce, a Sixth-Rank overpowering a Fifth-Rank!"
"What’s new? You should have seen Hundred Households Chen fighting the Blood Flood Dragon. That was genuine bravery!"
"Back then, Hundred Households Chu was executed by Mr. Chen, and now Lord Jian too...always chopping higher-ups? Never seen such audacity."
"Hmph, as I see it, it’s Jian’s own fault..."
The Fire Department Constables quietly discussed.
Jian Yinsan’s past deeds had upset them, but with a big gap in status and cultivation realm, they could only bite the bullet.
Today’s scene of Chen Mo defeating Jian Yinsan was indeed a vent of pent-up frustrations for them!
"Cough, cough!"
Qiu Longgang walked over, gave them a stern look, and said softly, "What are you muttering about? Go about your duties!"
"Yes!"
The crowd dispersed like birds and beasts.
Watching the lingering bloodstains on the ground, a gleam of satisfaction flickered in Qiu Longgang’s eyes.
