Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 557 - 176 Chen Jie: Nan Batian, you look like a dog!

This is a very strange psychology: when a person wears a weird outfit, they feel as if all eyes are upon them. But when everyone wears the sa strange outfit, the sensation of standing out uncomfortably diminishes. This is the herd ntality of humans.

Guild Leader Nan performing a kowtow alone would feel like a maddening humiliation, but with all the guild mbers doing it with him, the sense of sha lessens quite a bit.

But no matter how much it decreased, Guild Leader Nan had utterly lost face. For Mianshui County’s number one man to be pushed to such a state by Chen Jiusi was indeed disgraceful.

Thinking this, Guild Leader Nan gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground. As he did, the earth felt as hot as a burning iron against his knees—no, it was his entire body that felt uncomfortable.

At the sa ti, the murmuring of the onlookers reached his ears.

"Look, look, haha... he’s really kneeling. He’s actually kneeling."

"Good grief, Guild Leader Nan is really bowing down. That’s so embarrassing."

"It’s disgraceful, truly disgraceful, haha..."

"Yes, from now on, whenever Guild Leader Nan is ntioned in Mianshui County, it will inevitably be associated with this humiliating event, haha..."

...

The hushed whispers of the crowd assaulted Guild Leader Nan’s ears, making his face burn with sha, and a feeling of humiliation welled up within him. It was the kind of disgrace that could drive a man mad. At that mont, Guild Leader Nan, grinding his teeth, probably ca close to crushing his back molars to dust.

He had co to hate Chen Jiusi down to his very bones and wished he could reduce Chen Jiusi to ashes!

He didn’t dare to even lift his head to look at Chen Jie; he knew that Chen Jie’s glance must be filled with scorn. He could only lower his head, avoiding Chen Jie’s gaze, thus accomplishing the purpose of self-deception.

That’s right, self-deception!

He wished to beco an ostrich and bury his head in the feathers to see nothing.

But while he wanted to play ostrich, so people did not wish to let him. Indeed, Liu Laoguai was one of them.

This old rogue was cunning and hated Guild Leader Nan to the core. When Guild Leader Nan had hard his son, Liu Laoguai was already prepared to go to the mat with Guild Leader Nan but was restrained due to the presence of Yelu above him, preventing imdiate conflict.

But now that Guild Leader Nan had co to such a sorry state, how could he miss the chance to kick a man when he was down? He’d be letting down Chen Jiusi’s hard work if he didn’t seize this opportunity!

So thinking, he ca beside Chen Jie and said with a raised voice, "Jiu Si, look at our Guild Leader Nan. Usually so awe-inspiring, but now kneeling down like a sniveling dog, hahaha..."

Hmm!

Guild Leader Nan, upon hearing this, was imdiately enraged, glaring at Elder Liu with a gaze filled with murderous intent.

You dare to insult , calling a dog; I’ll kill you!

Chen Jie knew that Elder Liu was deliberately humiliating Guild Leader Nan and also said, "Guild Leader Liu, you do have quite the imagination. Now that you ntion it, it really does resemble that!"

"Are you two trying to annoy to death?"

Guild Leader Nan could no longer contain himself. Chen Jie looked at Guild Leader Nan and said, "What, you can’t take it? If you disagree, then stand up and Elder Liu and I would be very willing to spar with you."

Guild Leader Nan fell silent upon hearing this. He was very arrogant, but without playing his trump card, he knew he couldn’t beat Chen Jie and Elder Liu together. As for the trump card, he was not yet willing to use it, for it was reserved for saving his life.

At this point, he endured the mockery behind him, suppressing all his anger, ignoring Elder Liu’s taunts.

He then straightened his body, put his hands together in a formal gesture and said, "Brothers, may you have a safe journey. Today, it is I, Guild Leader Nan, who has wronged you all. However, I did it to relieve the burden of the court. I hope you brothers can find peace in the underworld and not bla . As I lead seven hundred brothers to kowtow to send you off, may you all have a safe journey!"

Then he bumped his head against the coffin three tis with a bang, and Qin Ying and others behind him also shouted, "Have a safe journey," and followed Guild Leader Nan in kowtowing three tis.

Suddenly, he managed to recover so reputation points, at least earning so respect for daring to own up to his actions.

Chen Jie, watching all this, narrowed his eyes with a hint of solemnity. This Guild Leader Nan was indeed a tough character. Being able to mix in Mianshui County for so many years was definitely not sothing that could be accomplished by a fool, as evidenced by those few words he had just spoken, clearly showing his shrewdness.

While reflecting on this, Chen Jie turned his head to look at the twenty-eight large coffins and thought silently, ’Brothers, have a safe journey. Guild Leader Nan has kowtowed to you all, and I will avenge you bit by bit.’

Thinking of this, Chen Jie waved his hand to Xiao Hu and said, "Xiao Hu, get the brothers to refasten the nails and set our brothers off on their journey."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hu imdiately had the coffins fixed up and nailed the lids shut.

At this mont, Chen Jie greeted Yelu with a bow and asked, "Lord, is there anything else?"

Yelu replied, "No, that’s all. Please proceed."

Chen Jie expressed his gratitude to Yelu once again and then waved to the brothers of White Tiger Hall and commanded, "Lift the coffins, let’s go!"

With those words, Si Xi shouted, "Strike up the music, let’s move out."

Hearing this, the musicians started playing somber music, and the procession headed towards Qingshan Pass, with coins being scattered along the way.

[With money paving the way, all spirits, great and small, do not trouble my brothers!]

...

Watching the people grow distant, Guild Leader Nan stood up from the ground, and at that mont, Yelu rode up beside him and said, "Guild Leader Nan, is this the great success you so confidently promised? Where are the weapons? Where are the demon people of the Zoroastrian Sect?"

Filled with rage that had no outlet, Guild Leader Nan furiously looked up upon hearing Yelu’s words, ready to retort, but the stern look in Yelu’s eyes terrified him into backing down. He quickly regained his senses, for his reason told him that Yelu was soone he could not afford to provoke.
