hahahahaha well said, well said!
Then, turning to Chen Hong, he said seriously, "I've always said your nephew is an exceptional talent. Being a mere constable is a waste. Give him the slightest opportunity, and he would rise up immediately. Tomorrow, you take some pork, some cartilage, and I will accompany you to pay a visit and offer congratulations."

good! very good prefecture Chief Min! well calculated indeed.
It seemed like he had just gained a two-courtyard compound, but in reality, it was a favor from Min Baoyi. In the future, if Min Baoyi asked him for anything, it would be hard for him to refuse. This Prefecture Chief, as genial as he might seem, was also a man of subtle calculation.

Yes! among major accomplished you're probably at the top in comparison to other practitioners.
As Chen Mu was thinking back on the dangerous encounter in the alley, he touched the blade of his Servant's Knife and murmured, "I indeed possess some strength now. That Branch Leader of the Black Snake Gang was considered skillful, and yet he didn't last many rounds against me. Granted, he was severely wounded and his Blade Technique was scattered and weak, but it was also due to the power and refinement of my Raging Wind Blade Technique. The 'Major Achievement' forcibly boosted by the system is, in a sense, perhaps purer than the Major Achievement recognized by the outside world."

I wonder what your expression will be like when he becomes head constable in a little while hahaha
The constables in the yard didn't dwell much on the brief exchange between Chen Mu and Ren Yan, each only offering a smile. Only some younger constables glanced at Chen Mu, thinking he didn't understand the opportunity at hand, not taking the chance to get in Ren Yan's good graces now. When Ren Yan later rose to power and became a true Head Constable, where would he have the time for them?

Well he didn't end up in your position did he?
Zhang Hai was left lying there, listlessly muttering, 'What use was sending them all that rice and flour, what use is it being a poor officer these days...'

Well officer is the official name while they're really just public servants of the higher ranked people
Of course, the truth was that none of them wanted to linger outside the city. Inside, their status as servants still held some weight, but once they stepped outside, where chaos reigned, no one cared who was who. Staying any longer than necessary only increased the danger.

wrong, instead that's extremely unlikely! Chen is invincible in a war of attrition!
The upcoming battle was likely to be difficult. If it turned into a war of attrition, Shen Yongding and Rong Zhongrui would likely have the upper hand.

You think Chen would have spared him if it was private? you think you'd still be alive if it was private!? you're a joke
In a private life-and-death duel, all tactics might be used, but this was a match, with tens of thousands of Sun Moon Realm spectators watching. Such actions were clearly out of place.

trade injuries!?🤣 this never worked on Chen Fei since he started cultivating!
Du Quanzhi had hoped to trade injuries to give Shen Yongding and Rong Zhongrui a chance to severely injure Chen Fei.

I didn't expect trouble to come so soon! how is he going to survive this reasonably? interesting, now I'm either gonna read this to the end or giving it up considering how this will unfold!
In these two years, Xu Hongyu had offended many. He needed only to leak some information about Chen Mu, then sit back and drink tea. In a few days, naturally, someone would do what he wanted done, and even if it caused Xu Hongyu great anger afterward, it would not be traced back to him.
