"Alright, inform your father about this matter, tonight I will wait for him at Jiujiang Tower."
Chen Yuan waved his hand casually.
"Th...thank you, Divine Envoy, thank you, Miss."
Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment, unexpectedly passing through so easily. It seems the rumors were wrong; the renowned Chen, the Green Envoy, is still very amicable, not as ferocious as the rumors suggest.
As for the maid's fate...
She brought it upon herself; even he, the master, didn't dare to say much. She just had to cause trouble. Even if Chen Yuan didn't kill her, upon returning, she would be expelled from the residence.
Such a wicked servant simply invites trouble and calamity.
After speaking, he immediately bowed and retreated, drawing comments from the people around.
Chen Yuan watched the other party leave, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes.
The trace of primordial energy he had just injected would, over a hundred years, gradually erode Jiang Yun's vitality, and... it would be silent, without anyone noticing.
There were too many people here, and Chen Yuan did not want to make too much of a scene, but letting him go unpunished was impossible.
Although the other party was not overly arrogant, it was all based on Zhang Wanshu's already extraordinary aura; Jiang Yun did not dare to regard her as an ordinary person.
If it were another woman without background and power, it probably wouldn't be so simple.
This could be seen by the maid he kept by his side.
It could also be considered that he was eradicating harm for the people.
Zhang Wanshu neither knew nor cared about Chen Yuan's methods. At this moment, she was just clinging to Chen Yuan's arm, seemingly finding some sense of security, softly asking:
"What did you buy just now?"
Chen Yuan's eyes shifted, a flash in his hand revealing two green tangerines.
These were a few he had casually bought at noon, just right to disguise as now.
"How did you know I love eating tangerines?"
Zhang Wanshu's eyes narrowed into slits, her face full of joy.
"I heard Brother Zhang say it."
Chen Yuan fabricated on the spot without blushing.
"I see."
Zhang Wanshu smiled, suddenly discovering another side of Chen Yuan.
The side that lies without blushing.
She had deliberately said it like that, yet the other party cooperated so well. In reality, as long as it was something Chen Yuan bought, she liked to eat it, regardless of what it was.
Thus, she did not expose him.
This was quite nice.
Little did one know, Chen Yuan also discovered another side of Second Sister Zhang, somewhat tactful and cunning...
After driving away Jiang Yun, Dragon Gate Crossing could no longer be stayed at. The people around looked at them with strange glances, seeming to guess what kind of people they were.
Amazingly, another group of people was so frightened that they kneeled down to beg for mercy.
"Shall we go?"
Chen Yuan looked at Second Sister Zhang and asked.
"Um, I'll follow your lead."
Second Sister Zhang nodded with a smile.
Chen Yuan had already examined the riverbed of Dragon Gate Crossing once, finding nothing at the moment, unable to locate the Flood Dragon's Divine Pearl indicated by the opportunity, he needed to wait until tomorrow night.
Fortunately, his time was relatively abundant, allowing him to wait.
...
...
That night.
In an upscale guest room within Jiujiang Tower.
Chen Yuan sat cross-legged, refining the primordial energy into his body.
A sudden gust of chilly wind arose, and a humble voice was heard outside the window:
"At your service, Lin'an Prefecture's Heavenly Patrol Green Envoy Jiang Xiong, greetings, Divine Envoy Lord."
"Come in."
Chen Yuan opened his eyes, gazing straight ahead.
In the next moment, the cold wind blew open the closed window, and a middle-aged man in the attire of a Heavenly Patrol Green Envoy knelt on one knee before Chen Yuan:
"My Lord."
Lin'an Prefecture is different from ordinary places; although it is a prefecture-level government, it stands one level higher than ordinary prefectures, only this way it can match the status of a great prefecture guarding the Capital.
Jiang Xiong was a genuine Dan Realm Master!
According to common sense, even if Chen Yuan was a Heavenly Divine Envoy of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, his direct superior, there was no need to be so humble; a salute would suffice.
However, he couldn't be different; his son Jiang Yun recklessly offended the well-known Marquis Anwu in the Capital.
And although the Jiang family had some power in Lin'an Prefecture, the family didn't even have a single True Master, unable to compare with someone like Chen Yuan. They could only submit, seeking to resolve the feud.
Again, the figure of a person, the reputation of a tree.
Chen Yuan's renown was too weighty, his character widely known, few dared to offend him.
"Jiang, the Green Envoy, rise."
Without visible movement from Chen Yuan, an invisible force of heaven and earth enveloped Jiang Xiong, and his body stood up involuntarily, yet he dared not relax, for he suddenly realized he could not mobilize the force within his Dantian's Void Core!
Direct suppression!
"Thank you, my Lord."
Jiang Xiong bowed his head, clasping his fists in respect.
"Do you know why I had you come over this time?"
"It is because my son offended the Lord, I am terrified. Today I've already disciplined the boy, forbidding him from leaving home for half a year and severely punishing him according to the laws of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau..."
As he spoke, Jiang Xiong glanced at Chen Yuan, seemingly afraid of his dissatisfaction.
"Jiang, the Green Envoy, is indeed upright and just."
"I do not dare to accept such praise, I have neglected the discipline of that child over these years."
"Alright, since you have already punished him, let this matter pass for now. Chen has always been broad-minded and never keeps small matters in my heart."
"Thank you, Divine Envoy Lord!"
Jiang Xiong breathed a sigh of relief, slowly relaxing his tense heart.
As long as this matter was settled, he wouldn't worry. He feared that it would not be settled, as Chen Yuan's decisive personality might execute first, report later, with imperial power permission.
After all, as a Shangguan, it was within Chen Yuan's jurisdiction to discipline subordinate officials.
