NOVEL WEB Chapter 236
Chapter 236: The True Top Level, Always The
“If I don’t accept the plot, does that mean it won’t unfold?” Extinguishing the cigarette in his hand, Jiang Che curiously communicated with the system in his mind.
“Even if the host doesn’t accept the plot, the protagonist will still find the host, just like the protagonists you encounter in daily life.”
Hearing the system’s explanation, Jiang Che felt a bit speechless. So, no matter what he did, he couldn’t avoid the protagonist.
“Accept it then…”
“Ding, plot transmission in progress…”
…
Three minutes later, after roughly going through the plot in his mind, Jiang Che’s expression turned a bit strange.
“The War God of the Country!”
This plot began with Ji Qingwan.
When Ji Qingwan was five years old, the Ji family was annihilated, but not all the Ji family members were killed.
Ji Qingwan’s brother, Ji Chen, survived and escaped from the Ji family. Ji Chen was only ten years old then and lived a life of hiding for the next six years.
At sixteen, he met his lifelong benefactor in the imperial capital. That person had him enlist in the army, leading to his current status as the Northern Border War God!
That’s right, Ji Chen was the War God of the Northern Border, Chen Feng’s boss!
Ji Chen enlisted at sixteen, and in just eight years, he went from a soldier to the War God of the Northern Border. Though he had help, Ji Chen’s own merits were still highly convincing.
Otherwise, he couldn’t have commanded a million troops in the Northern Border at the age of twenty-four.
With a mid-stage Unity Man and Heaven Realm cultivation, he suppressed the world! Even some veteran martial artists felt inferior to him. Ji Chen was truly someone who could take an enemy’s head among thousands.
After returning to Linjiang City, he found his long-lost sister, Ji Qingwan. Then he began his path of revenge, showing off and defeating opponents while attracting various beauties.
In the middle of the story, Ji Chen also destroyed the force called Tianji Pavilion, avenging his family. Most importantly, this was a “bone-setting” story…
“System, when will Ji Chen return?” Jiang Che asked curiously. He was quite interested in meeting this protagonist.
Being able to rise from a soldier to the War God of the Northern Border, Jiang Che wanted to know what kind of person Ji Chen was.
This guy must be different from the protagonists he had encountered before. Age-wise, Ji Chen was also the oldest.
Moreover, his life could be written into a book; he was the true protagonist. This guy must have something special about him to advance so rapidly, unlike those protagonists who got lucky.
“Ji Chen will return to Linjiang City in a month. The host can make adequate preparations.”
“Friendly reminder, this protagonist is different from the previous ones. Please take him seriously and do not underestimate him.”
“I understand.” Jiang Che nodded silently. Accepting Ji Chen’s plot, he knew this guy wouldn’t be easy to deal with.
The previous protagonists he encountered were nothing compared to Ji Chen. This guy, young as he was, had experienced countless battles, held a high position, and commanded a million soldiers in the Northern Border. His mind and strategy were beyond ordinary people’s grasp.
To be honest, Jiang Che didn’t want to be enemies with such a person. Ji Chen seemed more suitable as an ally. Ji Chen’s rise from humble beginnings was different from the people in Jiang Che’s circle. He wasn’t someone to be trifled with.
But because of their differing stances, Jiang Che had to oppose him. After all, Ji Qingwan was the woman he fancied! Since she was his, no one else could covet her!
Moreover, Jiang Che wasn’t afraid of Ji Chen. The Jiang family’s background was solid. Ji Chen was the only protagonist worth his full effort and the only one whose status wasn’t far from his own. At least Ji Chen had the qualifications to negotiate with him.
“System, open the mysterious treasure chest.” Jiang Che didn’t dwell on the matter. He wasn’t afraid of Ji Chen.
Let him come; after all, Linjiang City was his territory. No matter how powerful a dragon, it wouldn’t overpower a local snake, even if Ji Chen was a dragon crossing the river!
“Opening the mysterious treasure chest…”
“Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20,000 villain points.”
“Not bad.”
Looking at the reward, Jiang Che nodded in satisfaction. At least it wasn’t some useless item. He took out a bag of corpse-dissolving powder from the system space and threw it to the bodyguard, instructing him to dispose of Li Tian’s body.
Jiang Che then sat back in his Maybach…
…
After returning to Crouching Dragon Villa, Jiang Che packed his luggage. There wasn’t much to pack, just a few clothes. Whether he brought them or not didn’t matter; he could buy new ones in Linjiang City.
In the living room on the first floor, Jiang Che called Ah Qing and Ji Menglan to his side, briefly explaining his trip.
“Young Master, you’re going to Tianhai City? When will you be back?” Hearing Jiang Che’s words, Ah Qing, who had been smiling, instantly deflated.
“About ten days. I’ll be back soon.”
“Can I go with you, Young Master?” Ah Qing asked expectantly, finding it torturous to not see Jiang Che for ten days.
Only those who had experienced such longing would understand…
Last time, when Jiang Che went to the imperial capital for half a month, she almost withered away waiting at home…
“Not this time, maybe next time.” Jiang Che shook his head seriously, rejecting Ah Qing’s request. He would be very busy during this trip, and having Jiang Yun’er with him was enough.
Too many people would be hard to manage.
“Alright~” Ah Qing pouted reluctantly, knowing from Jiang Che’s expression that the matter was settled. She didn’t make a fuss, just felt a bit disappointed.
“Do you need me to protect you?” Ji Menglan looked at Jiang Che and asked. She didn’t ask what Jiang Che was going to do; it wasn’t her concern. She was only worried about his safety.
“Don’t worry, my cultivation is higher than yours. What could happen?”
“Besides… Are you worried about me?” Jiang Che looked at Ji Menglan teasingly. She had changed a lot recently.
He remembered a philosopher’s words from his previous life: the quickest way to a woman’s heart…
Ji Menglan nodded, not refuting Jiang Che’s words.
She had to admit that her feelings for Jiang Che had changed, from initial hostility to dependence and care.
“Don’t worry, don’t overthink it. This young master isn’t someone just anyone can kill.”
“Alright, go to sleep.” Yawning, Jiang Che stood up, turned, and went upstairs to his bedroom to sleep.
