Chapter 441: Chapter 441: Worldly Affairs are Impermanent
After learning that the entire Chen Family had been annihilated, Chang Jing demanded in disbelief, "The Chen Family... they’re all dead?"The news was too horrifying. Even the Direct Disciple who came to report it hadn’t believed it at first. Seeing Chang Jing’s agitated state, the man was momentarily too stunned to reply.
"I’m asking you, are all the members of the Chen Family dead?" When he received no answer, Chang Jing demanded furiously.
"They’re... they’re all dead, Senior Brother Chang. It’s the absolute truth. From Patriarch Chen down to the servants, not a single person from the Chen Family was spared," the Direct Disciple stammered in reply.
"What about the men I sent?" Chang Jing asked next.
"They’ve vanished. It’s like they evaporated into thin air. We can’t find their bodies or any sign of them..." the man replied.
Hearing this news, Chang Jing collapsed limply into his chair. He waved a hand, dismissing the man.
’Chang Jing had never imagined Lin Yun would be so decisive. An entire family... wiped out just like that. In his mind, he had always thought Lin Yun was just using the Chen Family to threaten the girl. He never dreamed Lin Yun would directly slaughter them all.’
Although there was no evidence to prove Lin Yun was responsible, anyone who wasn’t a fool could guess that this was his doing, given the timing.
Only Chang Jing remained in the room. Just then, a figure appeared bizarrely in his room. It was a woman—none other than Guang Xuanji, one of Gong Lingqi’s attendants.
"What are you doing here?" Seeing Guang Xuanji, Chang Jing wasn’t flustered. They seemed to have known each other for a long time. He simply asked in a flat tone.
Hearing this, Guang Xuanji smiled faintly. "I came to tell you that you probably can’t stay in Flawless Palace any longer. Your only option now is to return to the organization."
"Why? Just because Lin Yun slaughtered the Chen Family?" Hearing Guang Xuanji’s words, Chang Jing asked, confused.
"It’s simple. Because all the evidence now points to you as the one who massacred the Chen Family. You think that girl won’t betray you? After a blood feud like this, do you really think she’ll remain loyal?" Guang Xuanji said coolly.
Hearing this, Chang Jing said in disbelief, "Impossible! What evidence could Lin Yun have? I haven’t left Flawless Palace at all. Everyone knows that. What could he possibly use to prove I was the one who massacred the Chen Family?"
"I am here only to relay the Young Mistress’s instructions. Whether you believe it or act on it is entirely up to you." Ignoring Chang Jing’s outburst, Guang Xuanji finished speaking and once again bizarrely vanished on the spot.
