Chen Jie turned to look, and his face instantly darkened.
He saw that from the corpse of Yu Feng, the son of Yu Zhongfu, a ball of light had also flown out and was rapidly moving away.
By then, it was too late for Chen Jie to stop it.
Because the ball of light from Yu Feng's body was getting faster and faster, even if he flew on his sword, he couldn't catch up.
"Chen Jie, is that the consciousness you mentioned?" Lin Shuang asked.
Chen Jie responded with an awkward silence.
"You're really unreliable, how could such a mistake happen? Now you're in trouble, the sect will definitely not let you off." Lin Shuang said speechlessly.
Chen Jie had not expected this scene to unfold, but with things as they were, regret was useless.
However, it was perfect timing.
He wanted to witness the strength of a sect firsthand.
"Chen Jie, this..." Jiang Xue came up to Chen Jie, her face filled with worry.
"It's nothing. We'll deal with whatever comes our way," Chen Jie said calmly.
The mysterious tree in his hand was still continuously releasing spiritual energy for him to absorb.
He felt that his cultivation was about to break through again.
He hadn't used his immortal cultivation abilities despite the great upheaval in Peaceful Villa. If the Qingcheng Sect came looking for him, it would be a good opportunity to test them.
"If there's nothing else, I'm leaving!" Lin Shuang yawned, preparing to depart.
He Yufei also came to Chen Jie's side and said, "Chen Jie, I'm leaving too. I have a lot of work to do at the company."
Now, only Jiang Xue, Wang Xiaoyan, Xiao Ding, and the Martial Arts Association members remained.
"Mr. Chen, I've already arranged for cleaning staff. This villa will probably need to be rebuilt."
Lu Changbu came up to Chen Jie.
Previously, Yu Zhongfu had used his 'Tai Xu Finger' to create many holes in the villa, and some load-bearing pillars had broken.
It was likely to become a dangerous structure soon.
Lu Changbu was efficient. Once the cleaning staff arrived, he paid a gold coin to clean up all the bloodstains and corpses.
He then had the construction team cordon off the area.
Xiao Ding found Chen Jie and said, "Master Chen, please let me cover all the renovation costs for this villa!"
He had made a fortune this time. The auction's turnover had exceeded trillions, and as an auction house, they had commission.
Even if it was only ten percent, he would have at least a hundred billion!
"No need. This is a matter for Peaceful Villa. It's not easy for you to earn money," Chen Jie said.
Xiao Ding looked ashamed.
Lu Changbu laughed heartily, "It really isn't easy. Brother Xiao Ding is risking his life! If Mr. Chen hadn't managed to control the situation today, I fear we would all be dead!"
After Lu Changbu finished speaking, Chen Jie suggested, "Everyone, let's go to my villa to rest."
Villa Number Ten needed to be rebuilt and was no longer suitable for habitation.
It would take at least a month to complete the renovations.
Upon arriving at Villa Number One, Lu Changbu and Xiao Ding chatted with Chen Jie for a while before leaving.
Their conversation mainly revolved around the future development of Peaceful Villa.
They decided to release some information to promote Peaceful Villa.
"Master, when I was pursuing the man in black earlier, I learned from him that he was from the Shadow Gate. Their main objective this time was actually to eliminate you using the major ancient families!" After the outsiders left, Lin Mengjiao told Chen Jie the information she had obtained from the man in black.
"Shadow Gate?"
Chen Jie's eyes showed a murderous glint.
These people from the Shadow Gate were truly persistent.
At this moment, Lin Mengjiao's spiritual power was completely depleted from chasing the man in black.
Her clothes were also somewhat disheveled.
Her fair skin was exposed to Chen Jie, and she didn't seem to have the mood to tidy herself up.
Chen Jie glanced at her, feeling a flicker of desire, but then he suppressed the thought.
He said to her, "Change your clothes and go rest!"
Lin Mengjiao looked down at herself, and her pretty face turned red.
However, she was incredibly excited inside. https:/
"Okay, Master, I'm leaving then."
Lin Mengjiao nodded and looked at Jiang Xue and Wang Xiaoyan.
She now referred to Wang Xiaoyan as her sister, and her relationship with Jiang Xue was fairly good.
After all, they saw each other often.
Wang Xiaoyan remained silent, while Jiang Xue looked at her and said, "Xiaoyan, let's go."
Wang Xiaoyan was taken aback and said to the two of them, "Jiang Xue, Mengjiao, you guys go ahead. I have something to discuss with Chen Jie."
Her expression was complicated and nervous, as if she were lost in thought.
Jiang Xue was surprised. She actually wanted to stay and accompany Chen Jie, but her identity was complicated.
Furthermore, Wang Xiaoyan was Chen Jie's official girlfriend.
If she let Wang Xiaoyan and Lin Mengjiao leave first and stayed behind to accompany Chen Jie, it would be rather impolite.
After some thought, she could only suppress her feelings and forced a smile, "He's not going to die anyway. Why would you stay with such a scumbag! Never mind, I won't bother with you. Mengjiao, let's go!"
Lin Mengjiao nodded, and the two quickly left.
"Chen Jie..."
Only Wang Xiaoyan and Chen Jie remained in the villa.
Wang Xiaoyan came up to Chen Jie and leaned into his arms, a faint, refreshing scent filling Chen Jie's nose.
At that moment, Chen Jie's phone chimed. He opened it and saw a message from Jiang Xue.
The content was simple, consisting only of two bloody cleaver emojis.
"Chen Jie, seeing you get bullied today made me so angry and helpless. I was so angry I wanted to strangle everyone with my own hands!" Wang Xiaoyan said indignantly.
"Don't worry about me. My strength is immense. Back then, I was just pretending to be outmatched to lure Yu Zhongfu and his son into attacking. Otherwise, I could have easily defeated Gu Chong and Gu Bao with a flick of my hand," Chen Jie comforted her.
"But I'm worried! I'm not a martial artist, I have no idea how strong you truly are!" Wang Xiaoyan said.
"You just need to know that I'm invincible," Chen Jie said with a smile.
"You're bragging, I don't believe you!" Wang Xiaoyan chuckled. "If you say so, then I want to see how invincible you really are!"
"Uh? How do you want to see?"
Wang Xiaoyan, with a blushing face, said, "Does our marriage certificate have a secret to increasing strength?"
"How did you know?" Chen Jie was startled, and then he quickly realized that she must have learned it from Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang actually told Wang Xiaoyan something like this. This...
"Xiaoyan, let me explain..."
As Chen Jie was about to explain, Wang Xiaoyan suddenly covered his mouth. "No need to explain. I understand. It was normal for you to do that to save your lives!"
"Chen Jie, I also want to become a master like Lin Shuang. I want to know how strong you are, so that in the future, when you encounter danger, I'll have a general sense of security in my heart!"
"So, do you understand why I stayed behind alone today?"
Wang Xiaoyan said shyly.
"Xiaoyan, you..." Chen Jie's expression changed slightly.
"Yes, I want to activate the marriage certificate with you to help you improve your strength!"
"Now, let's activate it together!"
