Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1784 - 414: Gains and the Mad Little Ming King (Part 4)

At this moment, the true Little Ming King, who held the esteemed position of Sect Master of the Zoroastrian Sect, was practically consumed by incandescent fury. He questioned his own standing among these so-called cult members, wondering if they still perceived him as a leader at all.

His eyes blazed with raw anger, but Han Ling’er’s hand clamped over his mouth, silencing him. In his unbridled rage, he retaliated by sinking his teeth deep into her hand.

"Ah!"

Han Ling’er snatched her hand back with a cry of pain, revealing a bleeding palm where he had bitten her.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

With bloodshot eyes, Han Lin'er glared at Han Ling'er and retorted, "Shut your mouth! I am not your brother. Han Ling’er, you dare to speak up for that villain? From this day forward, we are no longer siblings!"

"Ah!"

Han Ling’er stood utterly bewildered, her gaze fixed on Han Lin’er in stunned silence. She simply could not grasp how her once-kind brother had transformed into someone so unrecognizable.

"What did you say, Brother?"

Han Lin’er declared, "I said we are no longer siblings from this moment on. I do not have a sister like you, and you certainly do not have a brother like me!"

"Brother, how could you possibly do this!"

Han Lin'er shot back, "What do you mean 'how could I'? You are actively assisting him in harming me! What do you expect me to do? You are all his accomplices, every last one of you!"

Han Lin’er’s hysterical outburst left everyone present in a state of shock. They found it difficult to fathom how their Sect Master had descended into such a state of apparent madness. It was truly beyond belief!

As these thoughts circulated among the onlookers, tears began to stream down Han Ling’er’s face uncontrollably. She pleaded, "Brother, how can you utter such heartless words?"

Han Lin’er demanded, "You want me to stop being heartless? Then help me! Help me expose his vile true nature!"

Han Lin’er pointed accusingly at Chen Jie.

Witnessing this unfolding scene, Du Xiong, standing beside Chen Jie, interjected with visible irritation, "Has this useless fellow lost his mind, unable to discern right from wrong? You aided him, and he still harbors such animosity towards you!"

Upon hearing Du Xiong’s words, a subtle smile graced Chen Jie’s lips. He chuckled softly, stating, "Hehe, it’s quite understandable. Living under constant fear, every action dictated by others’ schemes, naturally breeds frustration, inner insecurity, and heightened sensitivity. He’s like a powder keg, waiting for the slightest spark to ignite his rage!"

Chen Jie continued, his voice tinged with a hint of melancholy, "Honestly, it’s rather pathetic. Possessing the status of a powerful individual without the corresponding strength; good virtue mismatched with excessive power inevitably leads to ruin. He is destined for a tragic end, regardless of who holds sway over him."

"Therefore, do not stoop to his level; simply let him vent his frustrations."

Chen Jie spoke with an expression full of pity, viewing the young man as truly pitiable.

With this in mind, Chen Jie turned his gaze to Du Xiong and remarked, "You are different from him. A far broader future awaits you."

Hearing this, Du Xiong looked towards Chen Jie and inquired, "Follow you?"

Chen Jie affirmed, "Yes, follow me."

A look of mutual understanding passed between them, followed by Du Xiong’s statement, "Who knows when this conflict will finally cease!"

Chen Jie replied confidently, "Very soon!"

Indeed, the ongoing conflict could not persist indefinitely. Once they navigated this crucial juncture, the path ahead would be considerably less perilous, with only the court’s eventual withdrawal of its forces remaining.

Upon hearing this, Du Xiong queried, "You mean the court will cease their attacks?"

Chen Jie responded, "Not necessarily, but whether they press the attack or not holds little significance for us. As long as we remain concealed within the secret passage, those unaware of the Qiankun Great Method will stand no chance of breaching it unless an Earthly Immortal intervenes."

"The secret passage is amply provisioned with food and water. Even if the conflict drags on, we possess the means to outlast them. They can remain hidden in the passage for a year or even longer, whereas the court’s army cannot sustain such a prolonged engagement."

"Considering the gains and losses, I cannot fathom the court opting against a strategic withdrawal. Consequently, victory in this battle is assured."

A flicker of surprise registered in Du Xiong’s eyes upon hearing Chen Jie’s analysis, and he remarked, "So, you had this entire contingency already meticulously planned out."

Sister Chen offered a subtle, knowing smile without uttering a word. Just then, Han Ling’er approached, guiding the Little Ming King, her face etched with profound apology.
