The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Disappointed Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Disappointed “Dad, I know!” Liu Xiaoyue’s pretty face was like two red apples.

At the street corner, Jing Yan was being led by several low-level martial artists towards the Liu Family Mansion.

“What’s going on here?” Hearing the sound of various musical instruments and seeing the neat formation, Jing Yan couldn’t help but bite his teeth in secret.

“Mr.

Jing Yan, the master is up ahead to welcome you,” said the martial artist beside Jing Yan, who bowed respectfully without daring to straighten his back.

Hearing what the martial artist said, Jing Yan could confirm that this musical band was indeed there to welcome him.

Jing Yan rolled his eyes, really wanting to turn around and leave, but since he had already arrived, he could only continue walking forward.

Finally, the two groups were in close contact.

“Hmm?

Where are the people?

Where are they?”

Liu Daquan looked around, mumbling under his breath.

He, of course, saw Jing Yan, but automatically ignored him.

In his subconscious, he always thought that Mr.

Jing Yan of the Jing Family would be at least forty or fifty years old, if not older.

Jing Yan was too young.

The Fourth Elder of the Jing Family certainly would not send such a young martial artist to Black Wind Town.

In the reply letter from Jing Tianying, Jing Tianying didn’t describe Jing Yan much, only stating that a martial artist from the Jing Family would come to Black Wind Town and that Liu Daquan should host him.

Liu Daquan had no idea of Jing Yan’s age or his martial arts cultivation.

Jing Yan stood still, frowning.

Seeing the fat man at the front of the crowd, he guessed that this person must be a distant relative of Fourth Elder Jing Tianying.

“Master, this is Mr.

Jing Yan!”

The guard who had seen Jing Yan earlier at the entrance of the town and immediately came back to report, saw the expression on Liu Daquan’s face and hurriedly whispered a reminder.

“Ah?”

“What?” Liu Daquan was stunned, his eyes rolling before settling back on Jing Yan.

This is the Mr.

Jing Yan sent by the Fourth Elder of the Jing Family?

How could that be, how could he be so young?

Such martial artists are commonplace in Black Wind Town!

Liu Daquan’s expression was uncontrollably stiff.

Because Black Wind Town was close to Moonlight Forest, the town was visited daily by martial artists from various places, their destination being Moonlight Forest.

Young martial artists like Jing Yan were far too numerous.

Liu Daquan, having seen many people, didn’t see anything remarkable about Jing Yan.

However, Liu Daquan’s reaction was extremely quick; he chuckled ‘haha’ to mask his embarrassment, his face swiftly regaining a warm smile.

In his heart, he was actually very disappointed.

He had originally thought that the arrival of someone from the Jing Family would completely resolve the current troubles faced by the Liu Family.

Now, it seemed unlikely.

Nonetheless, since the visitor was from the Jing Family, he couldn’t afford to treat him poorly.

“Mr.

Jing Yan, hello, hello!” Liu Daquan greeted with a big smile.

“Family Head Liu, hello,” Jing Yan casually nodded his head.

Jing Yan didn’t need to think much to guess Liu Daquan’s thoughts, but he didn’t care and was too lazy to explain much.

“Mr.

Jing Yan, did you come alone from Donglin City?” Liu Daquan hadn’t completely given up hope, considering another possibility that Jing Yan might be a young member of the Jing Family out on a training expedition.

Therefore, he occasionally glanced towards the street entrance, hoping to see another elder member of the Jing Family.

“I came alone,” Jing Yan casually nodded again.

“Oh, ok, ok!” Liu Daquan mechanically nodded, his eyes filled with even greater disappointment.

He said, “Please, come inside and have a seat!”

As he spoke, Liu Daquan stepped aside to let Jing Yan go first.

“Haha, Liu Daquan spoke of a formidable person, and it turns out to be just a young man?

Hahaha, I thought it was some terrifying figure!”

“Tsk, tsk, his appearance is indeed quite good.

Look at that skin, it’s really radiant.” A female warrior in her thirties stared at Jing Yan.

“Black Widow, are you sizing up another pretty boy?

You could actually talk to Liu Daquan about this, and ask him to introduce you,” joked a middle-aged warrior beside her.

“Scram, scram, scram!

When have I ever lacked men?” Black Widow laughed and cursed.

These people could never imagine that Jing Yan was at the Half-step Innate Realm of cultivation, let alone that he had the strength of an Early Stage Innate Realm warrior.

If they knew this, they definitely wouldn’t have the nerve to mock Jing Yan.

Liu Daquan, heavy-hearted, led Jing Yan inside, trying his best not to show it on his face, only sighing in his heart, “This is tough, truly tough!

Now that tough words have been spoken, what should the Liu Family do?

Better pack up and flee?”

Liu Daquan was well aware of the methods of his adversary.

Because a person from the Jing Family was coming, he had boldly spoken out, but he hadn’t expected that the Jing Family would send just a young lad…

“Mr.

Jing Yan, this is my daughter, Liu Xiaoyue!” Though Liu Daquan was preoccupied, he didn’t forget to introduce his daughter to Jing Yan.

After all, Jing Yan was a young member from the large Jing Family and was sent by the Jing Family’s Fourth Elder, which meant that his relationship with the Fourth Elder couldn’t be bad.

It wouldn’t be bad for his daughter if she could enter the Jing Family through this connection.

“Mr.

Jing Yan!” Liu Xiaoyue squatted slightly, a bit awkwardly.

“No need for formalities!” Jing Yan glanced at Liu Xiaoyue and casually smiled.

Liu Xiaoyue was indeed a beauty, but in Donglin City, what kind of women had Jing Yan not seen?

Naturally, his gaze wouldn’t linger on Liu Xiaoyue.

“Mr.

Jing Yan, please rest a while, I’ll have someone prepare dinner.

You must be tired after your long journey,” Liu Daquan politely said to Jing Yan.

His mind whirled, thinking perhaps the situation wasn’t so bad after all.

Though Black Wind Town was no longer viable, perhaps he could go to Donglin City with Jing Yan.

With the Jing Family as a backing, his life in Donglin City wouldn’t be too bad.

Hence, matchmaking his daughter with Jing Yan seemed even more necessary.

If Jing Yan and his daughter really hit it off, wouldn’t he be practically a member of the Jing Family?

In Donglin City, surely ordinary people wouldn’t dare to trouble him.

“Family Head Liu, let’s first talk about the important matters.

I’m here for another reason, so I don’t have much time,” Jing Yan frowned.

His trip to Black Wind Town was merely a side trip.

His real destination was Moonlight Forest, and in Black Wind Town, it was best not to waste too much time.

“Oh, that’s fine!” Liu Daquan nodded and led Jing Yan into an exquisitely prepared room.

The room, of course, was specially arranged, and all the furnishings were extremely luxurious.
