Chapter 75

After listening to Jing Yujin's account, Jing Chunyu felt a surge of anger in his chest, as if it were about to explode.

"Jing Yan, I'll rely on you, you celestial board!" Jing Chunyu was so angry that he ignored his status and cursed in front of his daughter and the guards.

"Whoosh!"

Without saying much to Jing Yujin, Jing Chunyu flashed out of his courtyard.

"Tiānlóng! Tiānlóng!" Outside the courtyard where Jing Tianlong lived, Jing Chunyu shouted loudly.

Although Jing Tianlong had entered one of the three major academies for cultivation, he still had a courtyard reserved for him in the family. He could return to the family from the Red Lotus Academy and stay there at any time.

With his eyes closed, Jing Tianlong was circulating his primordial energy when he heard his grandfather Jing Chunyu's angry voice from outside.

Frowning slightly, he flashed out.

"Grandfather, what's wrong with you?"

Even a fool could sense Jing Chunyu's anger. His old eyes seemed to be burning with flames.

"Tiānlóng, you must give Jing Yan a severe lesson for me! That damned little brat, that damned little brat!" Jing Chunyu's whole body trembled.

"Grandfather, why have you changed your mind? Not long ago, you advised me to give up and spare Jing Yan, and even if I really had to fight him, not to use heavy hands. Now, why..." Jing Tianlong was somewhat puzzled.

Not long ago, the family patriarch Jing Chengye and others had discussed with Jing Chunyu, hoping he could restrain Jing Tianlong, as he was his direct grandson.

After some consideration, Jing Chunyu had talked to Jing Tianlong about this matter.

"That little brat, he's too hateful! Too hateful!" Jing Chunyu said repeatedly, "Tiānlóng, you don't know, just recently, that little brat beat your aunt! The damned scoundrel, in the Western Market, in front of countless outsiders! It's really infuriating."

Jing Chunyu's face was thoroughly disgraced.

His daughter was beaten into a pig's head on the street. Now, people outside were probably gossiping about it.

Thinking of this, Jing Chunyu's old face felt hot and burning, as if Jing Yan had not beaten Jing Yujin but him, Jing Chunyu himself. Jing Yan simply did not take him seriously.

"What? Is that true?"

"Jing Yan, he's asking for death!" Jing Tianlong's breath also tightened, his eyes flashing with intense light, "I'll go see Aunt!"

In the Jing family square!

On the fifty platforms, as time passed, the number of battles increased.

After all, this challenge phase only lasted three hours. As long as one had some strength and confidence, they would try.

Anyway, if one failed once, they could try again. If they failed twice, they could challenge three or four times. Everyone had many chances.

However, on the platform where Jing Yan was, no one had come to challenge him so far.

Jing Yan was also happy to relax, slightly closing his eyes and resting.

At this point, the challenge phase had already lasted more than an hour. In another hour, he could enter the finals.

On the high platform in the square, the patriarch Jing Chengye and others were all thinking.

"What's wrong with the Great Elder?"

"Since he came back a while ago, his face has been terrifying, as if he wants to eat someone."

"What happened?"

Jing Chengye and others were all guessing what had happened to make Jing Chunyu so angry.

Not only the Jing family members, but even the outsiders showed meaningful expressions.

"Great Elder, what happened?"

Elder Five, Jing Yuxiang, quietly walked to Jing Chunyu's side and asked in a low voice.

Among the Jing family elders, Jing Yuxiang and Jing Chunyu had a very close relationship. These two always acted together in the council meetings, and Jing Yuxiang always followed Jing Chunyu's lead.

Seeing Jing Chunyu's unpleasant expression, Jing Yuxiang naturally had to ask with concern.

Jing Chunyu looked at Jing Yuxiang and pondered for a moment. He really did not want to talk about this matter, but he knew that it would not be long before the patriarch and others would know, not just the patriarch, but even the ordinary family members would know. It was impossible to keep it a secret.

The reason the news had not spread in the Jing family yet was that there were not many Jing family members in the market this morning, as most had come to the square. Only the market manager and a few guards were present.

But, this matter could not be hidden, as too many outsiders had seen it. Now, the news had not spread in the Jing family, but it had definitely spread outside.

"Yujin was beaten by Jing Yan!" After a moment of silence, Jing Chunyu finally said.

"What?" Jing Yuxiang was stunned.

When Jing Chengye and others heard this, their eyes also narrowed.

Earlier, when Jing Chunyu's personal guard said that Jing Yujin was humiliated by Jing Yan, they had suspected something else, but they did not expect that Jing Yan had actually beaten Jing Yujin.

"That damned little brat, disrespectful to elders, he's simply lawless!" Jing Yuxiang immediately expressed his anger, shouting loudly.

Jing Tianying and others frowned but did not speak.

"There might be some misunderstanding. Jing Yan wouldn't be so rash." As the patriarch, Jing Chengye had to speak.

"Hmph, misunderstanding? Haha, misunderstanding!" Jing Chunyu sneered repeatedly.

Seeing this situation, Jing Yuxiang felt he needed to show some support. Since he followed Jing Chunyu's lead, if he did nothing now, would Jing Chunyu be dissatisfied with him?

He thought for a moment.

"This Jing Yan is too arrogant!" Jing Yuxiang said, then leaped off the high platform.

Among the more than a thousand Jing family members participating in the challenge phase in the square, one person had not made any move since the challenge phase began. He stood there, exuding a strong aura, and the surrounding Jing family members did not dare to approach him.

This Jing family member was named Jing Shuhe, one of the most outstanding young members of the Jing family. He was also the grandson of Elder Five, Jing Yuxiang.

Jing Shuhe had a very proud and arrogant personality, and he was extremely self-important. Of course, his strength was also very strong, making him one of the ten Ninth Heaven Martial Artists among the young members participating in the competition.

"Shuhe!"

Jing Yuxiang came down from the high platform and approached Jing Shuhe.

"Grandfather, is there something?" Jing Shuhe's eyes moved, looking at Jing Yuxiang and asked.

He generally ignored ordinary Jing family members, which is why no one was around him. However, he could not ignore his grandfather.

"Yes, there's something!" Jing Yuxiang nodded, "This morning, the Great Elder's daughter, Jing Yujin, was beaten by Jing Yan. You know my relationship with the Great Elder, so I must do something."

"Grandfather, you mean you want me to teach Jing Yan a lesson?" Jing Shuhe's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the platform where Jing Yan was.
