Chapter 666 -194 Chen Jie: Eh, this Commandery Princess seems very easy to deceive (10,000 characters asking for subscription)_3

Chen Jie hastily clasped his fists after hearing these words and said, “Thank you, Lord.”

Yelu nodded, his face filled with a harmless and kindly smile, until Chen Jie moved out of his sight.

The moment he was gone, Yelu’s expression soured at once. Qimu Ge, standing beside him, looked at Yelu and said, “Master!”

Yelu responded, “It’s nothing.”

“Master, no wonder Chen Jiusi is so brazen, to think he has found himself a new backer, and about Qin Ying’s death, do you really believe it has nothing to do with Chen Jiusi?”

Qimu Ge said angrily, and Yelu replied, “It’s no longer important. How Qin Ying died doesn’t matter anymore. Chen Jiusi has managed to forge ties with the Commandery Princess. All these little tricks are unimportant now.”

Upon hearing this, Qimu Ge asked, “Master, what shall we do then?”

Yelu said, “From now on, we cannot confront Chen Jiusi openly. However, we can still trip him up in the shadows. Since we can’t split the Fishing Guild, we should consider supporting the Beggar Sect, to help them establish themselves and become like the White Tiger Hall, thereby restraining Chen Jiusi.”

Qimu Ge asked, “Master, isn’t that too much effort?”

A trace of helplessness appeared on Yelu’s face as he said, “There’s no helping it, Chen Jiusi has brought in someone I cannot afford to provoke.”

“Remember, don’t do anything against Chen Jiusi for the time being. If necessary, even lend him a hand. We can’t afford to snub the Lord of the Commandery.”

After hearing this, Qimu Ge frowned slightly but still bowed and said, “Yes, I understand.”

Yelu was silent for a moment before saying, “Send the word, prepare the banquet. This noon, I want to host the Imperial Princess Mansion.”

Upon hearing this, Qimu Ge immediately asked, “Lord, what cuisine, are we having sashimi again?”

Yelu replied, “Prepare an assortment. The Commandery Princess may not necessarily fancy sashimi, but prepare a serving for me.”

“Yes.”

Qimu Ge immediately acknowledged the order.

Yelu had two great passions, fishing and sashimi, with sashimi being a particular favorite, to the extent that he couldn’t do without it for a single meal. He would even try some poisonous fish, such as fugu.

For a connoisseur like Yelu, the delicacy of fugu was not to be missed.

As for the slight poison, Yelu had enough strength to resist the fugu toxins, and secondly, it was simply too delicious to resist.

When humans become addicted to a certain food, they will risk their lives for a taste. This is true for fugu; every year, many lose their lives eating fugu, yet it never deters true sashimi aficionados.

Yelu was one such individual.

Meanwhile, in Yelu’s backyard garden, Chen Jie had arrived and saw Zhao Ya holding a fishing rod by the lakeside, with the Ah Brothers standing by.

Ah San, watching the fishing hook in the pond, said, “Commandery Princess, what’s so fun about fishing? If you want to eat fish, I’ll cast a net, and that’ll be that. Why bother like you do, not catching a single fish all day? It’s so frustrating.”

“Third Brother, you’re clueless. Fishing is enjoyable. Net fishing can’t compare to the pleasure of angling. If you don’t understand, then keep quiet,” Ah Da rebuked him from the side.

Ah Er added, “Ah San, you’re really too noisy. You’ll scare the fish away from the Commandery Princess’ hook. Fishing requires patience.”

Ah San retorted, “So annoying!”

Just then, turning around, he saw Chen Jie and called out, “Hey, Chen Jiusi is here. Commandery Princess, Chen Jiusi has arrived.”

Hearing this, the Commandery Princess smiled and said, “Brother Chen, care to join me in fishing for a while?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie stepped forward to the lake’s edge, clasped his fists, and said, “Humble citizen Chen Jiusi at your service, Lord of the Commandery.”

Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie and said, “Brother Chen, it seems like you are quite mindful of my status, aren’t you?”

Who wouldn’t be conscious of your status?

Yet Chen Jie responded with a forced smile, “It’s not that I’m mindful of the Commandery Princess’ status, but rather I’m overwhelmed by it. It’s also a matter of my own lack of confidence. After all, who would have thought that someone I got to know casually would turn out to be a celestial being like the Commandery Princess?”

“I used to call you Brother Zhao, and now thinking about it, I do feel quite ashamed!”

Chen Jie bowed his head, his face a picture of embarrassment. Zhao Ya glanced at him, the corner of her mouth curling up slightly.

She enjoyed seeing Chen Jie like this. Chen Jiusi, always so full of big talk, was a bit too arrogant. She wanted to sand down Chen Jie’s edges.

Only then could he be of use to her.

Besides that, she harbored an indescribable sentiment, feeling it was rather amusing to see Chen Jie so flustered.

Zhao Ya then handed the fishing rod to Ah Da, “Fish for me for a while.”

Ah Da got up and took the rod. Zhao Ya stood up, dusted off her hands, and looked at Chen Jie.

Ah Er and Ah San stared intensely at Chen Jie.

Zhao Ya said to the two killjoys, “The two of you stay here with Ah Da. If you can’t catch any fish, don’t come looking for me.”

“Brother Chen, walk with me.”

Chen Jie immediately replied, “It would be my pleasure.”

Upon hearing this, Ah Er and Ah San glared at Chen Jie, their expressions warning, “Kid, you better be careful.”

Chen Jie pretended not to see them and followed Zhao Ya, one leading and the other trailing, into the deeper parts of the garden.

Yelu’s garden was indeed vast, filled with many prized flowers. As the two walked, admiring the beauty of Yelu Mansion’s grounds.

After a while, Zhao Ya said, “You owe me two favors now.”

Chen Jie was taken aback, and Zhao Ya asked, “Not acknowledging it?”

Chen Jie replied, “No, no, the Commandery Princess aiding me today has been a tremendous help. I should indeed thank the Commandery Princess.”

“However, I’ve always been puzzled as to why the Commandery Princess would help me!”

Chen Jie looked towards Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie and said, “Because you’re different from the rest!”
