Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

As they spoke, the group headed directly to the magistrate’s government office, and soon they arrived there.

At this moment, having learned of the Commandery Princess’s arrival, Chu Tian immediately came out with a middle-aged man. The man had a long sword hanging from his waist, bore a stern demeanor, and exuded authority without anger.

Following him was someone Chen Jie actually recognized.

Indeed, it was Zhong Liang from the Hongjian Sect, whom Chen Jie had met not long ago at the Medicine King Treasure.

The magistrate, along with the two men, stepped out of the government office and clasped his hands respectfully towards Zhao Ya: "Subordinate greets the Lord of the Commandery."

Zhao Ya immediately responded: "There’s no need for such formality, Lord Magistrate. You are a guest of the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister is a lifelong friend of my father. Thus, we are like family, truly, like family."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tian smiled and said: "How dare I claim kinship with the Commandery Princess? I am merely a house slave of the Prime Minister’s Mansion. If according to the Commandery Princess’s words, I too am a house slave of the Ruyang Royal Mansion, a house slave of yours as well."

Hearing this, Zhao Ya laughed heartily: "Haha, Lord Chu, you’re really too kind. By the way, who is this gentleman?"

Zhao Ya looked towards the man who exuded authority without anger. Seeing this, the man immediately clasped his fists and said: "I am Zhong Guang, Sect Leader of Hongjian Sect, paying respects to the Jianghu Chief of Hubei Road."

The man performed the Jianghu salute, giving Zhao Ya due respect as the Jianghu Chief.

Chen Jie glanced at the man, taking a closer look. This Zhong Guang, Sect Leader of the Hongjian Sect, was also famed in Huangzhou Prefecture as one of the Four Dragons and Eight Tigers, known as Sword Tiger Zhong Guang.

He also served as the leader of the Jianghu sect supported by Chu Tian.
