Chapter 579 -179 Chen Jie: You’re looking for the lady in my bed? (10,000 characters for subscription)_6
The melee was brutal, even though it was between brothers of the Fishing Guild and they hadn’t used knives or guns, having switched to sticks and clubs. Disobedience was met with a flurry of blows, leaving people with swollen faces and bruised noses.
The scene was very chaotic at one point.
Just then, the sound of horse hooves suddenly broke out, followed by a loud voice, “Everyone, stop!”
Upon hearing this shout, Lord Yelu was seen standing there with a face full of uncontainable anger.
“Everyone, stop!”
Qimu Ge then roared as well, seeing Chen Jie and Elder Liu tangled in battle on the other side. With a shout of Cang Lang, Qimu Ge’s treasured blade was unsheathed and fiercely struck at the four, and a peerless slash of the blade inserted itself into the midst of the battle.
Chen Jie, Nan Batian, and Elder Liu immediately stopped fighting. Qimu Ge’s strength was one thing, but with Lord Yelu’s arrival, there was no way the situation could escalate further.
Plus, Chen Jie hadn’t planned on confronting Nan Batian in a life-or-death struggle here.
Through the earlier fight, Chen Jie had gained a deep understanding of Nan Batian’s strength. His prowess wasn’t just ordinary Energy Transformation; he had even touched upon the edge of the Qi Blood Holding Core Realm.
And there was a gap between his own strength and that of Nan Batian. Even by teaming up with Elder Liu could they suppress him. Indeed, as the leading martial proponent of Mianshui, there was no discredit to be found in his martial arts aptitude, which truly had substance.
Even though Chen Jie had grasped the flow of Nan Batian’s Mystic Ice Power cultivation technique, during the fight, he was still caught off guard by several of Nan Batian’s unexpected moves, nearly falling into a trap. Chen Jie felt this was due to his insufficient understanding of the technique, having only glanced over it briefly.
Once this matter was settled, he vowed to thoroughly study the Mystic Ice Power, to ensure that in knowing both himself and the enemy, he would never be endangered in battle.
Everyone, stop fighting!
Chen Jie and Nan Batian were halted, and at the shout of Lord Yelu’s guards, the two sides split apart, then lined up, each with faces beaten to a pulp.
Seeing this, Lord Yelu was infuriated and scolded, “What are you all trying to do? Rebel? Engaging in a massive brawl within the city, do you all not have Darugachi Mansion in your eyes?”
“Speak, who instigated today’s battle?”
Hearing this, Liu Laoguai spoke up, “Nan Batian, it was him who started it. Lord Yelu, you must seek justice for Jiu Si. That Nan Batian has gone mad. His wife is gone, claiming she was kidnapped by Chen Jiusi. I’d like to ask him—has he looked under Jiu Si’s bedding for her?”
Lord Yelu glanced at Nan Batian, who said, “Lord Yelu, you must seek justice for me! It was Chen Jiusi, he’s the one who took my wife, it was him!”
Lord Yelu frowned and looked at Chen Jie, “What do you have to say about this?”
Chen Jie replied with a fist salute, “Lord Yelu, I, I don’t know anything about it. Today I was having tea with Guild Leader Liu when Guild Leader Nan arrived. Without a word, he demanded I hand over his wife. I was completely baffled. Then he attacked people. Guild Leader Liu stepped in, fearing I might get hurt, and when I saw Guild Leader Liu at a disadvantage, I intervened to stop the two of them, and that’s when it turned into a melee. As for the matter of someone’s wife, I know nothing!”
“Chen Jiusi, you don’t know? It must have been you who hid my wife. Hand her over quickly!”
Chen Jie, dumbfounded, said, “Lord Yelu, he’s being unreasonable! When have I ever kidnapped his wife? He’s slandering me!”
As he spoke, Chen Jie looked at Nan Batian, “Do you have any evidence?”
Nan Batian replied, “Evidence, why would I need evidence? I don’t have any, but Chen Jiusi, it was definitely you who took my wife.”
“Why would it be?”
Chen Jie asked.
“Now, the only ones who want me dead are you and Elder Liu. Elder Liu would never do such a thing as abducting women, so that leaves only you!”
“Me? Lord Yelu, I’ve been wronged!”

Chen Jie looked at Lord Yelu, who upon hearing this, turned to Nan Batian and said, “Is this all just your speculation?”
“I, I won’t guess wrong!” Nan Batian asserted.
Lord Yelu burst out in anger, “Nonsense, all of you are causing trouble. Nan Batian, your wife is missing, and you should be searching for her instead of accusing Jiu Si. You are clearly looking for trouble. I’m telling you, without evidence, you dare initiate a battle of hundreds of men. Do you even regard Darugachi Mansion?”
“This is utterly outrageous, just outrageous!”
Lord Yelu reprimanded Nan Batian, who looked a bit aggrieved and dared not talk back. Then Lord Yelu pointed at Nan Batian and ordered, “Immediately take your men and leave; stop causing trouble.”
“The rest of you disperse, go!”
“My lord, this…”
Nan Batian began to retort after hearing this but was then interrupted by Tang Ziyue, who pulled him aside and said, “Guild Leader, don’t startle the snake in the grass. Let’s have our spies in the White Tiger Hall investigate—better than us being reckless.”
“Me, well… Alright then.”
Tang Ziyue finally breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what she said earlier, it was no use persuading Nan Batian, who sometimes acted recklessly beyond reason. Now that he finally listened, it was a relief indeed.
Things had become much simpler.
With that, the crowd gradually dispersed.
Chen Jie was also heading towards his own White Tiger Hall when Si Xi came over and said, “Hall Master, Nan Batian may use the spies they have inside our mansion. Should we control them?”
Chen Jie replied, “No need, let them investigate openly. Since the lady isn’t here with us, what do we have to fear? Also, send that message through these spies’ mouths to Nan Batian.”
“Yes, understood.”
As they were speaking, Chen Xiaohu said, “Fourth Brother, Red Face is here.”
“Oh? Where?”
“In the study waiting with tea.”
“Got it. Go on with your tasks.”
Thinking, Chen Jie hurried towards the study. Red Face must have come to deliver the “Holding Core Realm Pill Recipe.”
