The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Dealing with Chen Yan Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Dealing with Chen Yan Wei Youming’s face turned ashen when he heard the voices of disarray around him, but in the presence of Mu Liantian, he didn’t dare to utter any reprimands at the martial artists nearby.

No matter how unwilling he was to listen, he had to listen obediently.

“It appears the course of events has unfolded in this manner,” Mu Liantian nodded.

“Jing Yan, my young friend, Wei Youming is my subordinate, and his behavior has indeed been terribly disappointing.

In this matter, I also bear responsibility.

I’m truly sorry,” Mu Liantian said to Jing Yan with an apologetic tone.

“Wei Youming’s actions are utterly despicable!

As he is my subordinate, Jing Yan, my young friend, how would you find it if I personally saw to his punishment?” Mu Liantian asked for Jing Yan’s opinion.

“Of course, that would be acceptable.

Thank you, Chief Mu,” Jing Yan quickly expressed his gratitude.

Jing Yan certainly harbored hatred for Wei Youming.

If it hadn’t been for Mu Liantian’s presence, Wei Youming would have intended to kill Jing Yan.

For someone who wanted to kill him, Jing Yan was never one to be soft-hearted.

However, since Wei Youming was under Mu Liantian, directly handing him over to Jing Yan for punishment was indeed unlikely.

But surely, Mu Liantian also wouldn’t let Wei Youming off easily.

At the very least, Wei Youming would definitely not be able to continue as the Building Owner of Juhua Restaurant.

“Wei Youming, come to the Manager’s Mansion to see me later!

For now, leave this place at once,” Mu Liantian instructed after seeing Jing Yan agree to let him deal with Wei Youming and looked towards Wei Youming with disdain.

Wei Youming’s actions made even Mu Liantian feel ashamed.

At this moment, Wei Youming likely regretted his actions deeply.

He glanced at Jing Yan, then at Mu Liantian, wanting to offer some words of explanation.

But seeing Mu Liantian’s dark expression, he decided it was better not to say anything at all.

Now, whatever he said could not change the facts or alter Mu Liantian’s poor impression of him.

Wei Youming, full of regret, silently left the Juhua Restaurant.

“Now, let’s talk about Chen Yan’s issue,” Mu Liantian said, turning his gaze to Chen Yan who was shrinking in the corner.

Mu Liantian did not know Chen Yan personally, but he still spotted her immediately, her whole cheek swollen.

The swelling made it instantly clear to him that she was the Chen Yan who had conflicted with Jing Luoyu and been slapped by Jing Yan.

For someone like Chen Yan from a Great Family, accustomed to bullying others on the strength of her status, Mu Liantian had no good feelings either.

“Jing Luoyu, how do you plan to deal with Chen Yan?” Mu Liantian looked towards Jing Luoyu standing by Jing Yan’s side.

At these words, Jing Luoyu’s body trembled slightly.

He obviously hadn’t anticipated that Lord Chief would seek his opinion.

While still pondering how Jing Yan knew this Lord Chief, he heard the Lord ask him how he wished to deal with Chen Yan.

Jing Luoyu was somewhat dazed, staring blankly at Mu Liantian.

“Hehe, don’t be nervous.

As for the conflict between you and Chen Yan, she’s entirely at fault.

Now, how do you want to deal with her?” Mu Liantian asked Jing Luoyu with a smile.

It was only right and proper for Mu Liantian to ask Jing Luoyu, as he was the one assaulted in the conflict.

Of course, this was all for Jing Yan’s sake.

Had it not been for Jing Yan, Mu Liantian, with his position as the Chief Manager of Prince Manor, might not have intervened in such a trivial matter.

If he had to handle every small issue like this, he, even with the strength of three men, would never be able to get it all done.

“Lord Chief, Lord…

My matters, Brother Jing Yan will decide,” Jing Luoyu said, even though Mu Liantian had gently spoken to him and asked him to not be nervous, he still couldn’t help but feel incredibly anxious.

“Um,” Mu Liantian nodded.

“Jing Yan, what do you think?” he then asked.

“Chief Mu, this Chen Yan intended to kill us.

She’s too malicious.

However, now Jing Luoyu has only been injured and there are no concerns for his life; let’s just have her compensate for the medical expenses,” Jing Yan pondered for a moment before speaking.

Jing Yan, too, wanted to tell Mu Liantian directly – to kill Chen Yan.

But after consideration, Jing Yan thought it better not to kill Chen Yan.

There were two main reasons for this: firstly, Chen Yan was an important member of the Chen Family, and while killing her might mean the Chen Family wouldn’t dare to criticize Mu Liantian, they would definitely hold a grudge against him, Jing Yan.

The second reason was that Jing Yan could not be entirely sure of Mu Liantian’s stance, but it was very likely that Mu Liantian did not wish for Chen Yan to die.

Had Mu Liantian wished for Chen Yan’s death, he would not have inquired as to how Jing Luoyu wished to deal with her but would have directly executed her himself.

If Mu Liantian didn’t want Chen Yan to die, but Jing Yan were to express a desire for her death, then Mu Liantian might truly execute her; this would clearly go against Mu Liantian’s intention.

To Jing Yan, killing Chen Yan but upsetting Mu Liantian in the process was not worth it.

Besides, although Chen Yan was despicable, she posed no significant threat to Jing Yan.

Mu Liantian, upon hearing Jing Yan’s words, looked at him deeply.

His gaze was full of approval.

He felt that this young man, Jing Yan, indeed possessed a level of composure far beyond his years.

In this situation, had it been another young person of Jing Yan’s age, they likely would have acted out of anger and demanded Chen Yan’s death.

Emotion is the hardest thing to control.

If a person can freely control their emotions, then that person is destined to be extraordinary.

“Good, let’s do it that way!”

Mu Liantian smiled at Jing Yan before speaking.

“Chen Yan, you should compensate Jing Luoyu one hundred thousand Spirit Stones,” Mu Liantian spoke to the swelling-cheeked Chen Yan.

“”

Chen Yan’s gaze flickered fearfully towards Mu Liantian.

At this moment, her pride had already disappeared without a trace.

She knew all too well how high the standing of the Lord Chief from Prince Manor was.

Even the Family Head of her own Chen Family would have to be respectfully respectful in front of this Chief Manager.

His status was no less than those of the Family Heads from the Great Families that had entered the city.

And the Chen Family had yet to reach the level of a Great Family.

“Chen Yan, spare me the unnecessary words.

Compensate one hundred thousand Spirit Stones and then leave.

If you still harbor any resentment, you can have your Family Head visit the Manager’s Mansion to find me,” Mu Liantian commanded with authority.

“Yes…

Yes!” Chen Yan nodded.

She withdrew a Spirit Stone Gold Card with a one hundred thousand limit from her Space Ring and handed it to Mu Liantian.

“These Spirit Stones aren’t for me, they are for the person you harmed,” Mu Liantian frowned slightly.

“Oh…” Chen Yan trembled slightly and reluctantly turned to look at Jing Luoyu.

The sense of humiliation in her heart caused tears to finally slide down from her eyes.

Just a short while ago, the likes of Jing Luoyu were nothing more than ants in her eyes, to be killed at will.

But in this brief moment of time, she had to hand over one hundred thousand Spirit Stones to them in such a humiliating manner.

Watching Chen Yan hand over the Spirit Stone Gold Card, Jing Luoyu subconsciously glanced at Jing Yan.

Jing Yan, in turn, smiled and nodded at Jing Luoyu.

Jing Yan also felt somewhat emotional.

It really is different from person to person!

A direct descendant like Chen Yan from a large family could casually take out one hundred thousand Spirit Stones in cash, something that definitely wouldn’t be possible within the small city families of Donglin City.

Not to mention, even the Innate Realm elders of the Jing Family couldn’t produce one hundred thousand Spirit Stones in cash all at once.

Seeing Jing Yan nod, Jing Luoyu accepted the Spirit Stone Gold Card from Chen Yan.

“Hold on!

Chen Yan, you haven’t apologized to the person you bullied,” said Mu Liantian as Chen Yan was about to turn around and leave.

“I’m…

sorry!” Despite her swollen cheeks, it was still apparent how stiff her expression was.

In all likelihood, Chen Yan had never said sorry to anyone in her life.

But now, she was forced to utter those words to someone she utterly looked down upon.

And worse, someone who wasn’t even at the Innate Realm.

For her, this must have been extremely difficult.

But at this moment, no matter how hard it was, she had to do it.

“Now you may leave,” Mu Liantian dismissed her with a wave of his hand.

Chen Yan, covering her face, quickly walked away, her mind a blank slate from the endless humiliation.

She didn’t even think about seeking revenge.

Perhaps it was also because, subconsciously, she knew she couldn’t get revenge.

Jing Yan and his two companions seemed to be quite close to Mu Liantian, and she knew that the Chen Family definitely wouldn’t allow her to exact revenge, at least not publicly against Jing Yan’s group.

“Jing Yan, my young friend, let us find a quiet place to talk,” Mu Liantian said with a smile.

“Sure!” Jing Yan nodded, “The room I’m staying in is just upstairs, we can go there.”

“Good,” Mu Liantian agreed.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I, Jing Yan, am very grateful for your help in bearing witness just now,” Jing Yan bowed to the surrounding martial artists.

Mu Liantian and Jing Yan left the great hall with others, and it was only then that the many martial artists in the hall truly began to buzz with speculation.

“What exactly is Jing Yan’s identity?”

“Why is the Lord Chief of the Prince Manor so polite to him?

Calling him ‘young friend Jing Yan’ over and over, tsk tsk…”

“It is indeed strange.

Aren’t those three martial artists from Donglin City?

How do they know the Lord Chief of the Prince Manor?

They must belong to a family from Donglin City since they all share the same surname.

Does Donglin City have a Jing Family?

Could it be that someone high-ranking from the Jing Family is acquainted with the Lord Chief?”

“That’s unlikely!

Even if someone high-ranking from the Jing Family did exist, it’s improbable they could have any interaction with the Lord Chief, they wouldn’t qualify!” Some shook their heads.

The voices of discussion spread throughout the hall, but no one could guess the true reason why Mu Liantian was so courteous to Jing Yan.

Inside Jing Yan’s room.

Jing Yan, Jing Ziqi, Jing Luoyu, and Mu Liantian, all four sat down.

“Jing Yan, the way you handled Chen Yan just now was commendable,” Mu Liantian said with a smile.

“You could have killed that Chen Yan, and it wouldn’t have been impossible.

But, it wouldn’t be worth it.

So many people were watching; if you killed her, it would definitely be swiftly reported to the Chen Family.

Offending the entire Chen Family for the sake of one non-essential woman, it’s not worth it.”
