Chapter 74 -74 Ashamed to Meet People

Jing Chunyu was burning with anger, but a few elders felt a sense of sour satisfaction in their hearts.

Despite the facade of harmony among the Jing Family elders, behind closed doors, there was competition.

Everyone wanted their own descendants to outshine the others and garner more family resources for cultivation.

Jing Luoying, who had just been severely injured by Jing Yan, belonged to Jing Chunyu’s lineage.

Under normal circumstances, with Jing Luoying’s strength, he would have claimed a spot in the final.

Now, however, he was unable to continue in the competition, freeing up a spot and giving the other elders’ protégés another opportunity.

Seeing Jing Chunyu’s gloomy expression, several elders rejoiced inwardly.

Of course, they showed none of it on their faces.

“Jing Yan defeats Jing Luoying to become the new Challenger!” Jing Shiyu announced loudly from the edge of the arena.

At that moment, two guards came over and carried the severely wounded Jing Luoying away.

In family competitions, fierce contention was the norm, and injuries were commonplace.

Generally speaking, as long as there weren’t any deaths, it wasn’t a big deal.

The family’s higher-ups wouldn’t dwell on it.

But if there was a death, it needed to be taken seriously.

If someone was killed maliciously, the family would mete out appropriate punishment to the murderer.

However, if it was a critical situation where not fighting back could lead to serious injury or even death, then killing would be deemed self-defense.

On the arena, Jing Yan squinted his eyes slightly, waiting for challenges from others.

Given the current situation, most people probably lacked the courage to take on Jing Yan.

Being simply defeated was one thing, as there would still be chances to challenge others.

But to be injured like Jing Luoying was truly tragic.

It was clear to everyone that Jing Yan was perfectly capable of just defeating Jing Luoying without causing serious harm.

Jing Luoying’s injury was undoubtedly intentional.

On the high platform of the square!

A guard hurriedly approached with a slightly panicked look on his face.

“Clan Leader, elders!” the guard saluted and spoke softly.

This guard was a personal guard of Great Elder Jing Chunyu. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

“Is there a problem?” Clan Leader Jing Chengye frowned and asked.

With the family competition in full swing, and many guests present, the guard definitely shouldn’t be appearing on the high platform without good reason.

“It’s…

It’s something important!

Great Elder…” the guard hesitated, his complexion fluctuating.

“What is it?” The Great Elder’s voice was deep and stern.

This guard was his personal guard.

Seeing him, Jing Chunyu surmised that there must be something concerning him.

“That…

Great Elder…” the guard hesitated, not daring to whisper in the Great Elder’s ear with so many people around.

“Speak up if there’s a problem.

Is there anything you can’t say in front of everyone?” the Great Elder glared.

Because Jing Yan had injured Jing Luoying, his rage hadn’t subsided, and he obviously wasn’t going to give the guard a friendly look.

“Yes, sir!” the guard trembled.

“It’s about the young miss; she…

she has been humiliated by Jing Yan!” the guard said, bowing his head.

You wanted me to speak, so I did, the guard thought to himself.

“What?” Jing Chunyu’s face twitched.

The young miss the guard spoke of had to be his daughter, Jing Yuqin—he only had one daughter.

Jing Chengye and the others also directed their gaze over, having heard what the guard said.

They all knew that he was referring to Jing Yuqin.

What’s the situation?

How did Jing Yan humiliate Jing Yuqin?

Although Jing Yuqin had her charms, she was rather old—surely Jing Yan wouldn’t…?

“Cough, cough!

Is there…

perhaps a misunderstanding here?” Jing Chengye coughed, speaking with a peculiar expression.

Those among the gathered who shared his thoughts were certainly not in short supply.

It was the very first thing that Great Elder Jing Chunyu had thought of when he heard the guard’s words.

“The Great Elder, the young miss asks for your presence,” the guard continued.

“Damnation!

If she has business, why can’t she come here?

Why must I go to her?” Jing Chunyu bellowed in anger.

He was the Jing Family Great Elder, a dignitary of considerable stature.

At the moment, he was presiding over the clan’s major competition.

And yet, his own daughter was requesting him to leave that place to meet her.

This was, without a doubt, a loss of face in front of the Clan Leader and all the elders.

Of course, it would be no issue if this were in private.

“Great Elder, the young miss is…

somewhat unable to come here,” the guard said with a furrowed brow.

Truthfully, he was reluctant to be the bearer of this message, but he had no choice.

As Jing Chunyu’s personal guard, if he offended Jing Chunyu’s daughter, what kind of life would he have in the future?

Thus, he had no option but to come, despite his reluctance.

“Hmph!”

“Clan Leader, I’ll be back in no time; this girl is getting out of hand,” Jing Chunyu said helplessly to Jing Chengye.

He himself was beginning to worry, uncertain what was going on with Jing Yuqin and why she said she had been humiliated by Jing Yan.

“That damned brat Jing Yan!” Jing Chunyu cursed to himself, following the guard, leaving the plaza’s high stage.

“What exactly happened?”

Once they had left, Jing Chunyu immediately asked the guard.

“I…I really can’t explain it,” the guard admitted, truly at a loss.

How could he explain?

Was he supposed to say that the young miss had been beaten by Jing Yan into a pig’s head?

Seeing the guard’s expression, Jing Chunyu quickened his pace significantly.

At that moment, Jing Yuqin was at his residence.

“Whoosh, whoosh!” Jing Chunyu hurried so quickly that the wind stirred under his feet, soon arriving at his private courtyard before rushing in.

Of course, he was worried about his one and only precious daughter.

“Yuqin?

Where is Yuqin?”

As the Great Elder entered his courtyard, his eyes swept around, and he called out loudly.

“Father!

Father!” A woman with a pig’s head protruding from her neck, weeping, burst out of one of the rooms.

Jing Chunyu’s features hardened when he saw the woman.

“Good heavens, you scared me to death!” Jing Chunyu roared inwardly upon recognizing the person’s face.

“You dolt, where’s my daughter?” Seeing the pig-headed figure lunge towards him, Jing Chunyu agilely sidestepped and angrily demanded an explanation from the guard who had followed him inside.

“Father, I am Yuqin!” the pig-headed woman said in shock, looking at Jing Chunyu.

“What?” Jing Chunyu was taken aback again.

At this point, he recognized the voice.

Wasn’t it indeed that of his daughter Yuqin?

Moreover, the clothes on the person appeared to be those frequently worn by his daughter.

“Great Elder, this is the young miss,” whispered the guard like a mosquito.

Jing Chunyu took a step closer to Jing Yuqin, staring intently at her for a good while.

“Yuqin, what happened to you?

What’s with your face, huh?” Jing Chunyu inhaled sharply, his whole body trembling, as he asked in disbelief.

What had happened to his daughter?

What had transpired?

“Father!

You…you must avenge me!

I’m…

I’m too ashamed to be seen!” Jing Yuqin covered her face and began to cry.
