Chapter 176: Trial
Jing Family, a total of four people arrived at the City Lord Mansion, namely the Clan Leader Jing Chengye, Great Elder Jing Chunyu, Fourth Elder Jing Tianying, and Jing Yan.
If a real conflict were to arise, having more people would be just as useless!
"Jing Clan Patriarch!"
Outside the main gate of the City Lord Mansion, a housekeeper from the City Lord Mansion was waiting there.
"How are things?" Jing Chengye asked the housekeeper in a lowered voice.
"Not good! Jing Clan Patriarch, you have to be careful. Follow me!" The housekeeper warned Jing Chengye. He had a close relationship with the Jing Family, which is why he took the initiative to caution Jing Chengye. Of course, to win him over, the Jing Family had also expended a considerable amount of resources.
In the front yard of the City Lord Mansion, atop the square.
Deputy City Lord Chen Bing and Divine Wind Academy’s Outer Court Deacon Cang Long were seated. Behind them, a large number of armored guards from the City Lord Mansion emitted a chilling aura, clearly the elite troops of Donglin City Lord’s Mansion.
Apart from Chen Bing and Cang Long, guests from the Red Lotus Academy and Dao Yi Academy were also present here, probably just to relieve boredom and watch the excitement.
When Jing Chengye reached the square, despite his mental preparation, he still felt his heart ’thud’. This scene was not for discussions but seemed more like a trial for the Jing Family. It looked like the City Lord Mansion was planning to sacrifice the Jing Family, or at least Jing Yan, to preserve the relationship with Cang Long.
