Chapter 1032: Chapter 1032: I Know What to Do

Jing Yan shook his head at Bi Fang.

”Earlier, we could have left directly, but now we can’t; we’ll have to wait until this issue is resolved,” Jing Yan said with a smile.

”Brother Jing Yan, that Ren Qian has significant backing. Didn’t you see even Dong Laifu is being courteous to him? I heard, Ren Qian has an extraordinary relationship with the Deputy Master of the Management Office!” Bi Fang said anxiously.

The leadership of the Medicine Field Management Office typically consists of one Master and two Deputy Masters. Below the Master and Deputy Masters are many Managers. Under the Managers are the likes of Dong Laifu, a Manager. A Manager usually oversees medicine fields spanning about one million acres; of course, some Managers may manage fields that are larger, possibly two or three million acres.

Jade Bay is an enormous low-level medicine field, with a total area exceeding ten million acres.

If Ren Qian has a close relationship with the Deputy Master of the Management Office, it’s no wonder Dong Laifu wouldn’t dare to offend him.

Upon hearing Bi Fang’s words, Jing Yan merely frowned. The Deputy Master of the Jade Bay Medicine Field, in the First Palace, undoubtedly holds a position not lower than the Director of the Qingmu Department, more accurately higher than most First Palace Directors. But so what?

”Kid, just await your judgment!”

”You can’t go anywhere, even if you escape back to the Qingmu Department it’s useless. The First Palace Qingmu Department can’t protect you. You’ve committed a heinous crime, and no one can save you,” Dong Laifu said after sending a message and putting away the Communication Crystal Stone, staring at Jing Yan.

Jing Yan remaining here still means there’s room for negotiation for him. If Jing Yan were to leave, his end would be tragic. That big figure might demand his life in anger before seeking out Jing Yan for reckoning. As long as Jing Yan, the mastermind, is still here, his life should be spared.

Jing Yan looked at Dong Fulai and sneered.

And around them, the Medicine Farmers Team whispered among themselves, discussing nothing but the certainty of Jing Yan’s doom.

Killing Ren Qian, that really is tearing the heavens apart!

”Brother Bi Fang, you don’t need to worry about Lord Jing Yan. With Lord Jing Yan’s status within the First Palace, who would dare to disrespect him?” Xia Yu also approached near Jing Yan and Bi Fang, smiling as he spoke to Bi Fang.

”What?” Bi Fang stared blankly at Xia Yu, momentarily unable to comprehend Xia Yu’s meaning.

Lord Jing Yan?

Isn’t Xia Yu a Steward of the Qingmu Department? How could he address Jing Yan as ’Lord’?

”Brother Bi Fang, Lord Jing Yan’s strength and status are beyond your imagination. Rest assured, we’ll just wait here for the important figures from Jade Bay Medicine Field Management Office to come,” Xia Yu smiled widely.

Bi Fang’s eyes appeared vacant as he looked at Xia Yu, then at Jing Yan.

”Brother Jing Yan, when did you ascend the God Realm?” Bi Fang raised his eyebrows and asked.

”A bit over two years, not yet three,” Jing Yan responded.

Bi Fang became even more puzzled in his heart.

Jing Yan had only just entered Luo Jiu Divine Palace, so why would Steward Xia Yu from the Qingmu Department call Jing Yan ’Lord’? In just two or three years, how could Jing Yan climb to a position higher than the First Palace Qingmu Department Steward?

...

Jade Bay Medicine Field Management Office.

Previously, Jing Yan and Xia Yu had visited the Management Office to inquire about the medicine field area where Bi Fang was located. At that time, the one who helped was a Manager from the office. Initially, this Manager was reluctant to help Xia Yu. The Managers at the Management Office, in terms of strength and status, were generally a notch higher than Xia Yu, barely reaching the level of Directors in various departments of the First Palace.

But once Xia Yu revealed Jing Yan’s identity, that Manager, who knew of Jing Yan, immediately assisted politely.

After Jing Yan and Xia Yu left, the Manager felt the matter was somewhat significant, so he immediately reported it to the Master and Deputy Masters. The three, upon knowing this, immediately discussed the matter and decided to lower their stance to meet Jing Yan together.

If Jing Yan were just an ordinary Martial Artist from the Third Palace, the Master and Deputy Masters might show Jing Yan some face, but definitely would not have personally received him. Ordinary Martial Artists from the Third Palace are mostly just Five-star Void Gods, not worth the attention of the Jade Bay Management Office’s Master.

But Jing Yan, naturally, is extraordinary, with limitless potential. While Jing Yan is still growing, associating with him is certainly a rare great opportunity.

The three Masters and Deputy Masters also gathered several Managers from the Management Office to meet Jing Yan together, their purpose being to let Jing Yan feel honored and remember them.

On the way, however, one Deputy Master received a message from Dong Laifu. Seeing the content, that Deputy Master’s expression immediately changed.

This Deputy Master was Ren Qian’s backing, having a close relationship with him. Ren Qian was his own nephew.

”Damn it!” Deputy Master Ren Bao cursed under his breath.

”What’s wrong?” The Master frowned, looking at Ren Bao.

”Trouble has arisen; my nephew had a conflict with Jing Yan, and there was a fight. Dong Laifu’s message said Ren Qian was killed by Jing Yan in the Medicine Field,” Ren Bao said with a darkened expression.

In his heart, he was full of rage. He had cherished this nephew quite a bit. Ren Qian was his sister’s son, and since his sister passed away early, Ren Bao poured much of his feelings for his sister onto Ren Qian. Ren Qian’s entry into Luo Jiu Divine Palace was significantly aided by Ren Bao, and without Ren Bao as his uncle, Ren Qian probably wouldn’t have reached the level of a Three-star Void God.

”How could such a thing happen?” The Master knitted his brows tightly.

”Deputy Master Ren Bao, this matter is serious, you must not act impulsively. That Jing Yan is currently a member of the Third Palace Qingmu Department, with extremely strong capabilities, likely to ascend to the Fourth Palace soon. I’ve received some information suggesting that important figures from the Jidao Palace are paying attention to him,” the Master said slowly.

The implication being a warning to Ren Bao not to offend Jing Yan.

”Lord Master, but he’s my own nephew!” Ren Bao was somewhat unwilling.

”A nephew is not a son. If you were to have a conflict with Jing Yan, it would bring no benefits to you. Think carefully. I’ll lay it straight for you, if you truly want to have a conflict with Jing Yan, I won’t be siding with you to help,” the Master pressured Ren Bao with his gaze.

”Brother Ren, think thrice,” the other Deputy Master advised, ”Jing Yan has limitless potential. He has ascended the Third Palace at less than two hundred years old. If you become hostile to him, it’s unlikely you’d gain any advantage. And his ranking on the Sky Blossom List is as high as ninety-nine! If he doesn’t perish prematurely, he’s bound to be a True God!”

”Sigh...” Ren Bao’s eyes flickered for quite a while before finally letting out a sigh.

”I know what to do. That fool Ren Qian, why did he have to take action against Jing Yan!? That fool!” Ren Bao gritted his teeth and said.
