Chapter 265 - 265 265 Bringing Disgrace Upon Oneself

Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Bringing Disgrace Upon Oneself Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Bringing Disgrace Upon Oneself Wen Duan’s face suddenly turned as an ominous glare with a terrible chill swept toward Jing Yan.

His body simultaneously emanated a piercing murderous intent!

This kid, he actually dared to call him a dog?

A bumpkin from a small country town, he dared to publicly insult him as a dog?

Despicable!

Damned!

Ridiculous thing!

“Beast, you dare to insult me?” Wen Duan’s sinister face twisted grotesquely!

“Insult you?”

“You’re giving yourself too much credit.

Just you, you’re truly not worth my time to insult.

What I said earlier was merely stating a fact.

You, indeed, are nothing but a dog.

Don’t glare at me like that, now tell me, when I was speaking to Chen Ruojie of the Chen Family, you kept barking incessantly by the side, cheering for Chen Ruojie—aren’t you shameless?

Actually, I also wanted to say, you as a dog are not even competent at it.

Your name is Wen Duan, right?

Seems like you should be of the Wen Family from Lanqu County City, but while being a member of the Wen Family, you cheer for someone from the Chen Family, tsk tsk…

truly shameless!” Jing Yan shook his head slightly.

Hearing these words, Wen Duan felt like he was going crazy.

He felt as if a breath was stuck in his chest, almost as if it would burst his lungs.

He was cheering for Chen Ruojie?

When had he ever cheered for Chen Ruojie?

His words were aimed at goading Chen Ruojie, hoping to make Chen Ruojie feel humiliated and enraged, so that Chen Ruojie would kill Jing Yan on the spot and he could enjoy the show.

Moreover, this was within the Prince Manor, so if Chen Ruojie killed someone on the spot, it might bring some trouble to Chen Ruojie, which he would be glad to see.

Yet, in Jing Yan’s mouth, he had become a dog cheering for Chen Ruojie.

“You…

you…” Wen Duan trembled with fury.

“Chen Ruojie, better control your dog, don’t let him bite people at random.

If someone gets bitten, it can be very troublesome.

As the master, you can’t escape responsibility!” Jing Yan left Wen Duan behind, turning instead to Chen Ruojie.

When Chen Ruojie first heard Jing Yan call Wen Duan a dog, he was quite pleased.

But now, he couldn’t laugh anymore.

Jing Yan’s ability to stir up trouble was too strong.

After his words, Wen Duan would obviously start to hate him, Chen Ruojie.

Although he wasn’t afraid of Wen Duan, he did not want to make an enemy of Wen Duan, at least he didn’t want to have an openly hostile relationship.

Meanwhile, the onlookers from afar were stunned.

Their incredulous gazes fell on Jing Yan.

“Who is that guy?”

“He’s utterly lawless!”

“He’s now offended not only the Chen Family but also the Wen Family, does he really have no fear of death?”

“Maybe he thinks that within the Prince Manor, neither the Chen Family nor the Wen Family would dare touch him!”

“He’s wrong on that, given the influence of both the Chen Family and the Wen Family, even if they killed that guy, there probably wouldn’t be any trouble.”

“Ha ha…

But it’s indeed satisfying to hear him call the Wen Family a dog, it feels so refreshing!

I have to say, well insulted!”

There were also people secretly cheering for Jing Yan.

“Wen Duan, this kid has no restraint.

I’ll kill him by hand now, so you needn’t be angry.

For such a bumpkin, it’s not worth getting serious!” Chen Ruojie looked at Wen Duan and spoke out.

If he personally finished off Jing Yan, perhaps Wen Duan wouldn’t transfer his hatred onto him.

“Brother Chen, make your move!” Wen Duan, suppressing his anger, urged Chen Ruojie after giving him a look.

“Chen Ruojie, does your Chen Family have someone named Chen Yan?” Jian Yan suddenly turned to ask.

“Hm?” Chen Ruojie was just about to take action when he paused upon hearing this.

“Do you recognize my Chen Family’s Chen Yan?” Chen Ruojie’s gaze flickered.

Chen Yan, of course, he knew her—she was the daughter of the Chief Supervisor of the Chen Family, and her status was much higher than his.

If Jing Yan knew Chen Yan or had some connection with her, then he really wouldn’t dare to just kill Jing Yan on a whim.

“I guess I know her,” Jing Yan nodded.

“Chen Yan was also supposed to participate in the assessment of the Three Major Academies this time, right?

However, not long ago, she gave up.

Am I right?”

“Hm?” Chen Ruojie looked at Jing Yan in surprise.

Not many people knew about this matter.

Even within the Chen Family, most were not aware.

And Chen Ruojie did indeed know because he participated in the assessment of the Three Major Academies.

Chen Yan was supposed to take part in the assessment with him; now that she suddenly gave up, naturally, he knew about it.

But how did this kid know about it?

Could it be that he truly had some relationship with Chen Yan?

Chen Ruojie, suspiciously looking at Jing Yan, began to feel uncertain.

“Do you know the reason why Chen Yan gave up the assessment?”

“You probably really don’t know, do you want to know?

I can tell you!”

“The reason Chen Yan gave up on the assessment of the Three Major Academies is that she was hit by me—I slapped her face.

She probably felt too ashamed to show her face, right?

During this period, you probably haven’t seen her around, have you?”

“Chen Ruojie, the reason I’m telling you all this nonsense is because I don’t want you to make a mistake!

If you stubbornly proceed, then I believe your end result will also be dropping out from the assessment of the Three Major Academies.

Of course, you might also get killed by me.”

Jing Yan spoke slowly.

The entire place was stunned.

Jing Yan’s words were almost earth-shattering.

Even Wen Duan couldn’t believe what he was hearing as he turned to look at Jing Yan.

In terms of family status, the Wen Family indeed surpassed the Chen Family, but on a personal level, Wen Duan’s status was far inferior to that of Chen Yan.

After all, he was just a proficient branch member of the Wen Family, not even of the direct lineage.

Moreover, even among the direct descendants of the Wen Family, few could compare to Chen Yan.

This woman, Chen Yan, had quite a reputation within Lanqu County City.

Many people knew of her as someone truly of the young master and young miss caliber.

And now, this youth before them was claiming that Chen Yan had forfeited the assessment of the Three Major Academies because he had slapped her.

How could that be possible?

“Brother Chen?” Wen Duan took a deep breath and looked towards Chen Ruojie as if seeking confirmation.

Chen Ruojie, on the other hand, had a troubled heart and didn’t believe Jing Yan’s words.

However, the information provided by Jing Yan completely matched what he knew.

He indeed hadn’t seen Chen Yan in public for a while.

Although he was unaware of the reason Chen Yan had given up on the assessment, there had been rumors within his family, suggesting that Chen Yan had offended someone and had been taught a lesson.

At first, Chen Ruojie didn’t think much of it, but now, after hearing what Jing Yan said, he grew anxious.

Just who was this young man?

Chen Ruojie stood there, dazed for a moment before taking a shallow breath.

The intent to start a fight also vanished without a trace.

Wen Duan’s heart sank as he noticed Chen Ruojie’s expression.

If what this youth said was true, and he was someone who dared to hit Chen Yan, then he definitely wasn’t simple.

Besides, his strength must be formidable, at least stronger than Wen Duan himself.

“What are you all doing?”

At this moment, a harmonious voice came from afar.

A troop of Armored Guards from the City Lord Mansion quickly approached.

“Disperse immediately!”

“The Commandery Prince Manor is a place of significance, no disturbances allowed!”

“Scatter now, or we will arrest everyone!”

The captain of the Armored Guard, with a stern face, shouted authoritatively.

“Are you going to fight or not?

If not, I’ll be leaving,” said Jing Yan, a taunting smile on his face as he looked at Chen Ruojie and the others.

“Hmph, let’s let you gloat for a moment, kid, but this isn’t over!” Chen Ruojie shouted.

“Oh no, I don’t want to gloat just for a moment.

If you guys feel it’s not over yet, we can continue,” Jing Yan responded with a grin.

“You…”

“Hmph!”

“Let’s go!” Chen Ruojie, Wen Duan, and the others’ bodies shuddered.

They left in a sorry state.

Many of the Martial Artists watching let out snickers.

These sounds of scorn reached the ears of Chen Ruojie and the others, sounding exceptionally piercing.

They had lost face today; indeed, it was a great embarrassment.

If word got out, who knew how many people would laugh at them?

When had they ever been humiliated like this?

When had anyone dared to insult them so openly?

At this moment, they also somewhat regretted provoking Jing Yan.

If they had not started by mocking Jing Yan and his companion as country bumpkins, none of this would have followed.

“Luoyu, let’s go too,” Jing Yan said with a smile as he watched the backs of Chen Ruojie and the others walk away.

He then spoke to Jing Luoyu.

“Brother Jing Yan, you’re really impressive!

In front of you, these prominent family members of Lanqu County City are just like kittens and puppies,” Jing Luoyu said, his face full of excitement.

The two talked as they walked.

Upon a vast square, Martial Artists continued to pour in from all directions.

After arriving, Jing Yan and Jing Luoyu were directed by an Armored Guard into a designated area.

From what could be seen, those waiting for the assessment had been divided into ten areas.

Jing Yan and Jing Luoyu, after entering one of these areas, waited for the official start of the assessment along with everyone else.

Jing Yan also surveyed the surrounding environment.

Directly in front of the enormous plaza was an equally large platform.

At this moment, numerous figures were already visible on that stage.

“The people from Divine Wind Academy!” Jing Yan’s gaze became intense as he focused on several figures.

A faint cold smile crossed his lips.

Having trained at Divine Wind Academy for some time, he naturally recognized many of the Outer Court Deacons.

And right there on the platform was Steward Cang Long among them.

Seeing Cang Long, Jing Yan’s eyes flashed with anger, which he then quickly repressed.

Back then, it was this bastard who had presided over Jing Yan’s expulsion from Divine Wind Academy.

Moreover, he had gone to great lengths to humiliate Jing Yan, rebuking him in front of others as the worst student Divine Wind Academy had recruited in a hundred years.
