Chapter 1783: Chapter 414: Harvest and the Deranged Little Ming King (3)
Han Lin’er was stunned upon hearing this and looked at Han Ling’er, saying, "Sister, why are you speaking for them too?"
Han Ling’er replied, "Brother, it’s not that I’m speaking for them, it’s..."
"What is it?"
Han Lin’er said coldly. Hearing this, Liu Caidie also stepped forward and said, "Brother Lin’er, stop making trouble, hurry and let everyone seek refuge."
"Caidie, you, you’re saying this too!"
"All of you are saying this, do you all think I’m just a vase, that I’m useless?"
"Unable to do anything right, whatever I do, you have to watch me, oppose me—do you despise me from the bottom of your hearts?"
At this moment, Little Ming King erupted completely, his emotions surging directly to the surface.
He released all the grievances he had suffered since taking office.
Once he took office, Du Zundao and Mr. Guan oppressed him, even rebelled against him. Was he just their puppet, a pawn in the game of various forces?
Now, barely achieving a brief success, yet even a simple sentence from him gets oppressed by this group.
Chen Jiusi!
Little Ming King looked at Chen Jiusi, his eyes filled with anger.
Chen Jie also looked at him then, his gaze extremely calm.
But Little Ming King was provoked by Chen Jie’s gaze, he felt Chen Jiusi was like the second Du Zundao, he also wanted to control him, treat him like a puppet.
At this moment, Little Ming King stared at Chen Jie and shouted, "Chen Jiusi, you helped our Holy Sect, but you are not the Sect Hierarch, you have no right to interfere in matters between me and the cult members, do you hear me?"
Upon hearing Little Ming King’s shout, Han Ling’er grabbed him tightly and said, "Brother, you’re insane, Chen Shaohua is helping us. Without him, you would’ve been captured by the Six Great Sects or the court by now!"
"If I have to be under his command, I’d rather be caught by the court, be beheaded or flayed, I’m fed up, I’ve had enough!"
Little Ming King screamed hysterically.
Liu Caidie wrapped her arms around him at this point and said, "Brother Lin’er, don’t go crazy; you’ve lost your sense of right and wrong now. Wake up!"
Han Ling’er also anxiously covered Han Lin’er’s mouth, worriedly glanced in Chen Jie’s direction, then shouted to the people below, "All cult members, the Sect Hierarch suffered a severe head injury during the attack by the Six Great Sects; he must be having a hysteria episode. Everyone, stop worrying about him, quickly enter the secret passage to evade crisis."
The cult members had long since lost interest in listening to Little Ming King’s lengthy speeches. They all heard the artillery booming down the mountain; who had the mind to listen to Little Ming King’s pompous rhetoric in such dangerous times? The interactions seemed orderly, but these cult members were already impatient inside, yet when the Sect Hierarch wanted to speak, they could only listen.
Now hearing the Saintess telling everyone to hide quickly, they immediately began to crowd into the secret chamber.
Seeing this scene, Chen Jie spoke up, "Everyone, don’t be hasty; there’s still time. Chen Long, Mei Tu, Monkey, elders, manage different sections, guide and evacuate orderly; let the old and young go first, others follow later."
"Yes!"
Listening to Chen Jie’s words, Chen Long, Mei Tu, and Monkey, the three elders, simultaneously cupped their hands in agreement.
Seeing them agreeing like this, many people became a bit dazed, as if Chen Jiusi was indeed the Sect Hierarch of the Zoroastrian Sect.
At this moment, a curious cult member asked, "Who is he? I’ve never seen him before."
Upon hearing this, someone replied, "You don’t know him? This is Chen Jiusi, Chen Shaohua. I heard from my child who’s a guard, that this time on the Bright Peak was dangerous, Tiger King rebelled and alongside Han Dharma King imprisoned the Master, and they plan to seize the Qiankun Great Method in the Ruins..."
This person recounted everything his child, the guard, had said, and the next moment, the tales of Chen Jie’s deeds on the Bright Peak spread.
Someone might wonder, how did the guard’s child know everything? There’s no need to ask, surely someone was pushing the momentum behind the scenes; certainly, Chen Jiusi wouldn’t shy away from such promotional work.
At this moment, Mei Tu glanced at Chen Jie with a smile, as if seeking credit, while a slight smile appeared on Chen Jie’s face as well—Mei Tu had done well!
Chen Jie thought this, meanwhile discussions about him started among the cult members.
"This time, we’re able to escape danger thanks to Chen Shaohua, even though he isn’t of our Holy Sect, he did so much for us. If it wasn’t for his risks, Little Ming King would’ve been captured, and we would’ve become the ghosts under the Six Great Sects and the court’s knives."
"Yes, indeed, Chen Shaohua saved us from dire straits, but the words Little Ming King said just now were too hurtful, he should be grateful!"
"Absolutely, absolutely, could Tiger King’s rebellion cause Little Ming King to lose his sense of right and wrong? The man helped him, yet suffered such scolding from Little Ming King—it shouldn’t be. Being Sect Hierarch doesn’t mean ignoring right and wrong."
"That’s right, furthermore, I understood his intention; he meant for us to hide in the secret passage to avoid the court’s army slaughtering us, while Little Ming King wanted to show off regardless of our safety. How did we end up with such a foolish Ming King?"
"Indeed, indeed, he’s such a tiger father dog son. How could he compare to Lord Ming King?"
"Yes, yes..."
The cult members whispered among themselves, but no matter how small the voices, with so many people discussing, some words inevitably reached Little Ming King’s ears.
