Jing Yan could tell that Jing Qingyan was extremely anxious at this moment.
Jing Qingyan had always been very steady in character, but now he was being forced to lose his composure. This showed how urgent the matter was.
If it were not urgent, Jing Qingyan would never have acted like this.
"Master Jing Yan, my father... didn't want me to come find you. But I really had no other choice; they were too unreasonable. I begged them to give my father and me some time, but they refused." Jing Qingyan's lips were bleeding from biting them, and his body was trembling slightly.
Clearly, he was extremely angry.
"Brother Qingyan, don't worry, just tell me what's going on." A chill gradually spread through Jing Yan's heart.
"It's the Market Management Office!"
"Those people want to reclaim my father's shop in the market. They say my father doesn't have the right to use that weapon shop."
"When I came, those people were already clearing out the shop. I told them to give us two days to move out ourselves, but they wouldn't listen."
"I couldn't even talk to the clan leader or the elders. Master Jing Yan, I hope you can help me convey a message." Jing Qingyan's expression was bitter.
"Damn! They're all damn scoundrels!"
Jing Yan, of course, knew about Jing Chenxing's brilliant weapon shop.
"I want to see what they're up to!" Jing Yan took a deep breath.
His anger was almost about to explode in his chest.
In the dozen or so years he had lived, Jing Yan had almost never been so angry.
Jing Chenxing could be said to be the closest person to Jing Yan within the Jing family. His closeness even surpassed that of the Fourth Elder, Jing Tianying.
Now, they were bullying Jing Chenxing like this. How could Jing Yan stand by and do nothing?
Jing Yan was still thinking of buying healing elixirs for Jing Chenxing in the future, to help him regrow his lost leg.
"Let's go! To the market!" Jing Yan said in a low voice.
"Huh?" Jing Qingyan was slightly taken aback.
He had come to find Jing Yan to ask him to speak on his behalf. After all, Jing Yan was the grandson of the old clan leader of the Jing family and could still talk to the upper echelons of the family.
But now, it seemed that Jing Yan intended to handle the matter directly.
How could that be?
"Master Jing Yan, this matter... is related to the Elder's daughter, Jing Yujin." Jing Qingyan's tone changed slightly.
This implied that the matter was not easy to handle.
Who was Jing Yujin?
She was the daughter of the Elder.
"Hmph, it's Jing Yujin again! I think if I don't give her a lesson, she'll think I, Jing Yan, am a pushover." Jing Yan had already suspected that it might be related to Jing Yujin.
Ever since she lost face at the Ruyi Pavilion in the West District Market controlled by the family, she had been harboring a grudge.
"Brother Qingyan, let's go. Don't worry, I'll handle this matter properly." Jing Yan's eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed in them.
West District Market, Brilliant Weapon Shop.
"Slam!"
"Bang! Bang!"
Several guards were taking out various mineral materials from the weapon shop and carelessly throwing them onto the street.
More and more people were gathering around, pointing and discussing.
"What's going on?"
"Isn't that person from the Jing family? Why is he being driven out by the Market Management Office?"
"Did he do something wrong? Is he being punished by the Jing family?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. Let me tell you, that woman is Jing Yujin from the Jing family. She is the daughter of the Elder, and her status is not simple. I think the people in the weapon shop must have offended Jing Yujin, so they are being driven out."
"..."
The onlookers whispered to each other.
Jing Chenxing stood to the side, his face expressionless as he watched the guards.
His arm was trembling slightly. Although his face showed no expression, the subtle movements of his body revealed that he was not calm at all.
"Jing Chenxing, you dare to oppose Aunt Yujin?"
"Hmph, remember this, this is the consequence of opposing Aunt Yujin."
"You old fool, I think you're just wasting resources by living. You might as well find a place to die."
A despicable voice rang out sharply nearby.
The speaker was Jing Chuanling. He and Jing Yujin were standing not far away, their faces filled with extreme satisfaction, and their proud eyes staring at Jing Chenxing.
Ever since Jing Tianlong's challenge to Jing Yan, Jing Chuanling had been hanging around with Jing Yujin and others. Now, it seemed that Jing Chuanling had become Jing Yujin's lackey.
"Jing Chenxing, you won't let me live in peace, so I won't let you live in peace either. You made me lose my job at the Ruyi Pavilion, so I'll make you unable to stay in the market. Hmph, no one can save you!" Jing Yujin's eyes, filled with venom, swept over Jing Chenxing like a poisonous snake.
Just yesterday, the Ruyi Pavilion had given her a notice, firing her from her job there.
When she received this news, the suppressed anger in Jing Yujin's heart finally erupted.
She blamed Jing Yan and Jing Chenxing for this.
Now, she had no good way to deal with Jing Yan, but dealing with a crippled Jing Chenxing was a piece of cake.
So, early this morning, she brought people from the Market Management Office to deal with Jing Chenxing.
"Aunt Yujin, I think we should just drive this old fool out of Donglin City. He has a son, right? He's in some town outside. Just let him go there." Jing Chuanling said to Jing Yujin with a smug and cruel voice.
"That's a good idea!"
"Hmm? Where's his son, Jing Qingyan? Wasn't he here just now?" Jing Yujin looked around but didn't see Jing Qingyan.
"Haha, he was probably scared off? He even abandoned his own father." Jing Chuanling laughed.
"Stop!"
At this moment, a loud voice came from behind the crowd.
The onlookers naturally turned to look.
"Who is that?"
"He seems to want to intervene! How dare he, even in Jing Yujin's matter?"
"That's Jing Yan from the Jing family! Not long ago, he defeated Li Tianfu at the Extreme Combat Association!" Someone recognized Jing Yan.
Jing Yan had always been famous, and many people knew him. It was normal for him to be recognized in the market.
The crowd naturally parted, making a path for Jing Yan and Jing Qingyan to walk through.
When Jing Yujin, Jing Chuanling, and others saw Jing Yan, their faces turned cold, and their eyes flashed with angry flames.
"Jing Yan... how did you come here?" Jing Chenxing's eyebrows furrowed slightly when he saw Jing Yan.
