Chapter 170: Gloom
Great Elder Jing Chunyu and Fifth Elder Jing Yuxiang, these two people, had never shown any respect for Jing Yan within the family. Since the great competition of the Jing Family, both of them considered Jing Yan a thorn in their side, a nail in their eye, eager to remove him and feel relief.
When Jing Yuxiang spoke those words, the Clan Leader and the other elders present showed a subtle change in their expressions.
Even Fourth Elder Jing Tianying fell silent.
Jing Yan furrowed his brow, he vaguely felt that matters were perhaps not as simple as he had imagined.
On the surface, Suo Wen was a disciple of the Outer Court Deacon, Cang Long, of the Divine Wind Academy and was also a student at the academy. In killing Suo Wen, he had certainly offended Deacon Cang Long, which indeed had a certain impact on the Jing Family. However, was it serious enough to cause the Clan Leader and all the elders to look so worried, as if a disaster that could wipe out the Jing Family was imminent?
Suo Wen had come to the Jing Family Mansion and had set up a challenge stage. By doing so, he was essentially challenging the Jing Family and tarnishing the family’s face. In the end, a teenage martial artist from the Jing Family had killed him. Even the Divine Wind Academy wouldn’t find an excuse to criticise Jing Yan for this, so why were the Jing Family members so somber?
"Ah..."
Clan Leader Jing Chengye sighed deeply, his gaze turning toward Jing Yan.
"Jing Yan, by killing Suo Wen, you have truly caused trouble," Jing Chengye’s voice was somewhat hoarse.
"Jing Yan, you might not know who Cang Long’s brother is," Jing Chengye stood up and paced as he spoke, "His brother is Cang Yu!"
"Cang Yu?" Jing Yan was slightly taken aback.
The name was unfamiliar to him.
