Chapter 264 - 264 264 That Dog

Chapter 264: Chapter 264: That Dog Chapter 264: Chapter 264: That Dog Jing Yan not attending the Green Jade Auction wasn’t an issue.

His elixirs were also entrusted to Jing Qingzhu to auction off.

After the auction ended, the Spirit Stones obtained would be taken by Jing Qingzhu from the Alchemist Association and given to Jing Yan.

Jing Qingzhu and Jing Yan returned to Juhua Restaurant and chatted for a while before Jing Qingzhu left.

The Green Jade Auction was to start the next day, and she had to make the final preparations.

Time flew by in the blink of an eye, and half a month passed.

That evening, there was a sudden buzz of excitement within Juhua Restaurant.

Jing Yan also received the news.

The next day would be the start of the Three Major Academies’ exams.

As in the past, the examination venue was located inside the Commandery Prince’s Manor.

“Finally, it’s starting,” Jing Yan narrowed his eyes.

By now, calculating the time, Jing Yan had been in Lanqu County City for over a month.

The next morning, the golden dawn light bathed the earth.

A vast crowd surged towards the Commandery Prince’s Manor.

From the three nearby restaurants, a large number of young martial artists left and headed toward the Commandery Prince’s Manor, some faster than others.

Jing Yan and Jing Luoyu were also among the crowd.

“There really are a lot of people,” Jing Yan remarked as he looked around at the figures, though he wasn’t surprised.

After all, this wasn’t the first time he was participating in the Three Major Academies’ exams.

The last time, there were just as many people.

Jing Luoyu, by Jing Yan’s side, was noticeably more nervous.

“Luoyu, there’s no need to be so tense,” Jing Yan looked at her.

“Brother Jing Yan, I haven’t broken through to the Innate Realm yet,” Jing Luoyu said somewhat despondently.

Although Jing Yan had given her some guidance in martial arts, and she had tried hard to improve, advancing to the Innate was truly too difficult.

Among those flocking to the Commandery Prince’s Manor, the majority were also not martial artists of the Innate Realm.

“Even if you’re not at the Innate Realm, it doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t pass the exam,” Jing Yan said.

In every exam held by the Three Major Academies, quite a few martial artists at the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven Realm managed to pass.

“I heard that among those martial artists participating in the exam, only about twenty to thirty percent actually pass,” Jing Luoyu sighed.

“Yes, that’s true.

But Luoyu, even if you fail the exam this time, you’ll still have chances in the future.

If not this time, by the next exam, you will surely be at the Innate level,” Jing Yan said.

Jing Yan was aware that with Jing Luoyu’s current level of cultivation, it would indeed be tough to pass the exam, or rather, the hopes weren’t very high.

However, a few years later for the next exam, it was very likely that Jing Luoyu would reach the Innate.

And for Innate martial artists, passing the exam was almost guaranteed without any unexpected circumstances.

Jing Luoyu was just twenty years old, and she would be fully eligible to participate in the next exam held by the Three Major Academies.

Jing Yan’s thoughts stirred.

Perhaps when leaving Donglin City, he should have kept a bottle of Holy Spirit Potion with him.

If Jing Luoyu had the Holy Spirit Potion, she might have advanced to Innate by now.

Regrettably, Jing Yan hadn’t thought that far ahead.

He had left all eight bottles of Holy Spirit Potion in the Splendid Pill Tower.

“Mm.” Jing Luoyu nodded firmly.

Outside the Commandery Prince’s Manor, a team of armored guards were checking the exam tokens of every martial artist.

Many martial artists were lining up to enter the Commandery Prince’s Manor.

After waiting for about half an hour, Jing Yan and Jing Luoyu entered the Prince Manor as well.

“The Prince Manor is really huge, isn’t it?

It must be ten times bigger than our Jing Family Mansion, right?” Jing Luoyu spoke with a sense of wonder, looking around.

Jing Yan smiled, “Indeed, it’s dozens of times larger than our family mansion.

However, compared to those Great Families, the Prince Manor doesn’t really count as big.

The mansions of the Great Families in Lanqu County City are even larger than this.”

Jing Yan had received his training for a while at Divine Wind Academy and naturally knew much more about Lanqu County City than Jing Luoyu.

“Country bumpkin!”

“Just look at them, country bumpkins from a small city!”

As Jing Yan and Jing Luoyu were conversing, a piercing voice came from behind them.

Jing Yan frowned and looked back to see a young martial artist dressed in a golden robe, looking at them disdainfully.

Behind this golden-robed youth were four or five other martial artists.

“Which city are you two bumpkins from?” one of the martial artists behind the golden-robed youth asked arrogantly, pointing at Jing Yan and Jing Luoyu.

“Where we come from is none of your business,” Jing Yan coldly chuckled.

“Oh, look at this kid acting all tough!”

“You little wretch, do you know who I am?

I am Chen Ruojie from the Chen Family!” the martial artist in the golden robe exaggerated his expression as he spoke.

“Little wretch, do you know about the Chen Family in Lanqu County City?”

“Heh, heh, it’s normal for these bumpkins not to know about the Chen Family.

How could they comprehend the power of the Chen Family?”

“It’s just filthy here.

As far as I’m concerned, these bumpkins from small cities shouldn’t be allowed to enter Prince Manor for the examination of the Three Major Academies.

Just seeing them puts me in a bad mood.”

“Exactly, the Three Major Academies should only admit members from our prestigious families.

Why let these bumpkins take the exam?

It’s a complete waste of resources for them to enter!”

A few people conversed back and forth, spewing a continuous stream of insulting remarks.

Around them, quite a few martial artists overheard what Chen Ruojie and his companions were saying, and some showed angry expressions.

However, they clearly didn’t dare to speak up.

The members of the great families of Lanqu County City were not the kind that they could afford to provoke.

So even if they were humiliated, they could only bear it.

Otherwise, offending these people could bring consequences they couldn’t handle.

These men, calling everyone ‘country bumpkins’ and ‘lowlifes,’ made Jing Yan furious.

Indeed, not many in the great families of Lanqu County City regarded martial artists from the smaller cities with any respect.

In their eyes, these warriors from the cities below were like locusts, competing with them for cultivation resources.

The Chen Family?

Jing Yan’s anger surged, and his gaze sharpened slightly.

“Chen Family, are you one of the Chens?” Jing Yan looked at Chen Ruojie.

In Lanqu County City, among the great families, there was only one Chen Family, which Chen Yan, whom Jing Yan had previously slapped, belonged to.

First Chen Yan, and now Chen Ruojie had emerged; it seemed that the Chen Family’s youths were indeed habitually arrogant.

“Oh?

You know of my Chen Family?”

“Haha, since you know the Chen Family, then you should know what to do, right?

Just now, you little brat, you offended me, and I am very angry.

I’m giving you a chance to apologize.

If you satisfy me, I’ll let you two off.

Otherwise, heh heh…” Chen Ruojie sneered at Jing Yan.

“Heh, is the Chen Family that impressive?” Jing Yan scoffed.

Even the elders like Chen Tan and stewards like Chen Yibing from the Chen Family had come to apologize to Jing Yan.

How could he possibly take a Chen Family brat seriously?

A warrior like Chen Ruojie could be slapped to death by Jing Yan with a single palm.

And now, Chen Ruojie was demanding an apology.

“Bastard!”

“What are you saying, kid?

Huh?

Do you know the phrase ‘disaster comes from the mouth’?

Right now, I can consider that you’re insulting the Chen Family.

Perhaps you still don’t understand the consequences of insulting the Chen Family.

Let me tell you, even if I kill you right here, your death would be in vain.

Don’t think that within Prince Manor, I wouldn’t dare to kill you.” Chen Ruojie’s expression changed.

He had thought that once Jing Yan knew of the Chen Family, he would definitely be scared witless and immediately kneel down and beg for mercy.

However, Jing Yan instead retorted with “Is the Chen Family that impressive?”

This was nothing short of the utmost insult to the Chen Family and to Chen Ruojie himself.

“Haha, Chen Ruojie, it seems that this kid really doesn’t take the Chen Family seriously at all!

The prestige of the Chen Family can’t even scare off this bumpkin,” a person beside Chen Ruojie said with a laugh, obviously mocking.

Clearly, this person was also a descendent of the great families of Lanqu County City; otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to speak like that.

Upon hearing those words, Chen Ruojie’s expression turned even colder.

It was humiliating!

“Kill me?

You can try!” Jing Yan said in a contemptuous tone.

“Who is that martial artist in green robes?”

“He dares to speak to the Chen Family like that and, from his words, he seems to be aware that the Chen Family is one of the great families in Lanqu County City!”

“Isn’t he afraid of death?

Offending the Chen Family won’t end well for him.”

Some martial artists around, seeing that a conflict was taking place, stopped to watch.

They didn’t dare to come closer but stood at a distance.

They could still clearly hear Jing Yan and Chen Ruojie’s conversation.

After hearing Jing Yan’s words, they all widened their eyes and stared at him in amazement.

“Brother Chen, this kid is telling you to give it a try.

What do you say?” The same martial artist who had ridiculed Chen Ruojie earlier spoke again, his gaze flickering.

This person was obviously up to no good, deliberately provoking Chen Ruojie.

“You little bastard, you’re asking for this, don’t blame me…” Chen Ruojie, triggered by those provocative words, was truly unable to control his rage and was about to make a move on Jing Yan.

“Hold on!” Jing Yan shouted as he raised his arm.

“Huh?

Kid, are you scared?

Hmph, it’s too late to be scared now.

You insulted my Chen Family, and today will be the day you die!” A smug look appeared on Chen Ruojie’s face as he glanced at the person who had been goading him on.

The implication was clear: see, after all, this kid still fears the Chen Family, fears me, Chen Ruojie.

He was tough talking just a moment ago, but now that he sees I’m about to take action, he’s immediately caving in.

“It’s not fear, but rather I want to know where this dog at your side came from,” Jing Yan looked at the martial artist who had been egging on Chen Ruojie.

Chen Ruojie and that martial artist both were momentarily stunned.

That dog?

“Haha, Wen Duan, this kid is calling you a dog!” Chen Ruojie burst into laughter.

Chen Ruojie was not stupid; he understood that Wen Duan had goaded him twice, and of course, he could tell.

But since Wen Duan was a talented relative of the Wen Family, although not directly from the main line, he was still someone from the Wen Family.

Chen Ruojie was reluctant to turn against Wen Duan, so he could only direct his anger towards Jing Yan.

When he heard Jing Yan calling Wen Duan a dog, he couldn’t have been happier.
