Chapter 182 Jing Family’s Quota
The entire square underwent a sudden change in atmosphere.
"City Lord, what do you mean by this?" Cang Long asked with furrowed brows.
"Mr. Cang Long, I too deeply regret the death of your disciple. However, your disciple Suo Wen challenged the Jing Family by setting up a duel arena and was ultimately slain by the Jing Family Disciples; the process conformed to duel rules, and Jing Yan is clearly innocent. Suo Wen set up the duel, so he should have been prepared to die. If Suo Wen had succeeded in killing Jing Yan, I wouldn’t have blamed him either," Huo Chunyang’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Indeed, he did not want to offend someone like Cang Long.
But if he had to choose between Jing Yan and Cang Long, he would certainly choose to offend Cang Long. No matter how significant Cang Long’s background might be, could it be more considerable than that of Lord Bai Xue? Or more than the Prince?
It wasn’t just that Jing Yan was faultless; even if Jing Yan truly were at fault, he would still protect him.
"Heh, City Lord, you mean to say that my disciple Suo Wen died in vain?" Cang Long’s expression also grew dark.
He wasn’t from Donglin City, so he dared to show his displeasure to Huo Chunyang. Huo Chunyang might be powerful, but would he dare to strike at him, Cang Long? He wasn’t planning to stay long in Donglin City. Once he returned to Divine Wind Academy, he would have no further dealings with Huo Chunyang.
"Yes, your disciple Suo Wen simply died in vain. What, should I perhaps compensate you for your loss?" The look in Huo Chunyang’s eyes hardened slightly as he spoke in a cold, stern voice.
"City Lord, you may not be aware of Mr. Cang Long’s identity, but Mr. Cang Long’s brother, Cang Yu, is a disciple of Pill Master Liu Zhaohai of Lanqu County City," Zhao Dangyuan, who had been silent until then, couldn’t help speaking up now.
The development of the situation was completely beyond his control.
Jing Yan, who was supposed to have a definite death, seemed to have a twist of fate. How could he readily accept this?
