Chapter 372: Slapped to Death with One Palm
Jing Yan stood on reason with his words, firmly grounded in logic.
"You, the Xu Family, and others claim to be families within the Jing Family Camp, yet when the Jing Family fought a pitched battle against the Zhao Family, every one of you turned into cowering turtles. Do you still have the face to say you’re of the Jing Family Camp?"
"The Shui Family and other families were originally part of the Zhao Family Camp, but they did not support the Zhao Family during the war. This counts as a merit for the Jing Family."
Upon hearing Jing Yan’s words, the higher-ups of the Shui Family and other families secretly nodded their heads in agreement. They were also very grateful in their hearts. They had originally thought that the Jing Family would settle scores with them for being part of the Zhao Family Camp. However, they had not expected that, not only did the Jing Family not settle accounts, they even gave out rewards, which made them feel truly grateful from the bottom of their hearts.
"Young Master Jing Yan! Jing Clan Patriarch!"
"On behalf of the Shui Family, I wish to say something. From this day forth, my Shui Family is willing to share the Jing Family’s fate. If I break this oath, may my Shui Family be exterminated!" The Shui Family Patriarch made a poisonous oath on the spot.
Although an oath may not have binding force in reality, for the Shui Family Patriarch to make such an oath before so many people sufficed to prove his and the Shui Family’s determination.
"I, the Qian Family..."
One by one, the other families followed suit with oaths of their own. Perhaps some did not wish to swear such oaths, but there was no alternative; circumstances compelled them. Others had sworn, and if they did not, what would the Jing Family think of them?
Clan Leader Xu was left speechless at this moment; he had nothing to say. How could they not understand the logic in Jing Yan’s words?
"Young Master Jing Yan, it was shortsighted of me; you are correct. My Xu Family indeed does not deserve more rewards. However, today, here, I also swear an oath. From now on, whatever orders the Jing Family has for my Xu Family, we will strive to fulfill them to the utmost," Clan Leader Xu declared loudly.
"Mm!" Jing Yan nodded.
