Chapter 167 - 123, Mr. Feng
Chen Liqin coldly observed from the sidelines, but Lord Jin Zhu refused to let the matter go, "Mr. Chen, quelling the civil unrest is indeed a matter for your Luocheng City Government. Since you arrived here, I have yet to hear a single word of gratitude from you."
Chen Liqin snorted coldly and remained silent.
Lord Jin Zhu laughed in anger, then turned his head to address Chen Ji loudly, "I told you earlier not to meddle in this affair, but you insisted on getting involved. Look now, they don’t even appreciate it. Let’s go. If I ever meddle in the affairs of the civil servants again, it’s because I haven’t learned my lesson!"
Chen Ji shook his head, "My lord, we can’t leave yet; there are still things to be done."
Lord Jin Zhu spoke urgently, "You managed to topple Liu Mingxian and capture the Jing Dynasty Cao. That’s already a great achievement. If things go as expected, the Cultivation Path will soon be delivered to Luocheng City. At this point, if you withdraw, you will not be held responsible if they mess up their affairs in the future. If you keep staying here though, who knows what kind of nonsense these civil servants will dump on your head!"
Chen Ji did not respond.
With a cold laugh, Lord Jin Zhu said, "Enough, I won’t bother with your life or death anymore. If you wish to stay, then stay. Just don’t come to me with your grievances if things go awry later."
Saying this, Lord Jin Zhu actually turned and walked away with Heavenly Horse, West Wind looked back several times wanting to persuade Chen Ji, but finally decided against it.
Zhang Zhuo put down the Execution Stick in his hand and advised Chen Ji, "He’s also doing this for your sake."
Chen Ji responded with a sound of acknowledgment, "I understand."
The congee gradually thickened, and Zhang Zhuo ordered someone to extinguish the stove fire below.
