Chapter 266: Please Let Jing Yan Speak
Not long ago, Steward Cang Long had taken his disciples to Donglin City to oversee the selection process for the assessments at the Three Major Academies.
Because Jing Yan had killed his disciple Suo Wen, Steward Cang Long was furious, wanting to kill Jing Yan to vent his anger. Fortunately, the Lord of Donglin City, Huo Chunyang, returned in time to save Jing Yan’s life. If it were not for Huo Chunyang’s return, Jing Yan might indeed have been killed by Steward Cang Long at that time.
It could be said that the enmity between Jing Yan and Cang Long was profound.
As Jing Yan’s gaze fixed on Cang Long, Cang Long also noticed Jing Yan. Although there were many martial artists present in the square, from his elevated position on the high platform, he could almost clearly see the face of every martial artist. Cang Long harbored a deep-rooted hatred for Jing Yan; he had been searching for him among the crowd when Jing Yan and Jing Luoyu arrived, and he almost immediately noticed them.
"Dean, that young man in green clothes with a handsome face is Jing Yan!"
Steward Cang Long, with a cold smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, stared at Jing Yan for a moment before turning to an old man standing beside him.
The "Dean" mentioned by Cang Long was the Outer Court Director of the Divine Wind Academy. Within the academy, in the Outer Court, the Outer Court Director wielded the most authority.
This Outer Court Director was named Shang Qu.
"Oh? This person is Jing Yan?" Shang Qu followed the direction pointed by Cang Long’s hand and looked over, his gaze settling on Jing Yan.
"Yes, he is Jing Yan from Donglin City! Dean, this boy is young and arrogant, extremely haughty. When I went to Donglin City to oversee the selections, he didn’t even regard me at all," said Cang Long with a grave voice, gritting his teeth.
"Dean, this boy does not understand the immensity of heaven and earth, he is disrespectful of seniority. Even if his talent is high, our Divine Wind Academy cannot allow him entry," Steward Cang Long continued.
The reason he brought this matter up with Shang Qu was twofold: first, to prevent Jing Yan from entering the Divine Wind Academy; second, to slander Jing Yan, creating a negative impression of him in Shang Qu’s mind.
