Chapter 2548: Jing Yaorong Questions Jing Jining

“Alright, I’ll be right back.” Jing Jining answered. He had no intention of leaving the cultivation world, so he didn’t care whether it was an excuse.

“Well, Senior Shangguan, please forgive me. I’ll visit you when I can go out again,” Jing Jining said to Shangguan Yang.

“Sure, see you,” said Shangguan Yang. Jing Jining just told Shangguan Yang why he couldn’t go out, so Shangguan Yang understood his situation. He agreed that Jing Jining shouldn’t go out now.

Since they were aware of the situation Jing Jining was in, they would tell Jing Yunyao about it. If she could take revenge earlier, they would do so. In that case, Jing Jining would be free earlier too. After all, Jing Jining was being kept in the cultivation world because of Jing Yunyao.

Jing Jining then left Shangguan Yang and went back to the Jing family’s house with his father’s subordinate. Shangguan Yang and Gu Ning walked away as well.

“I wonder what will happen to Uncle Jing after he gets back home.” Gu Ning was slightly worried.

Actually, Tiandaozong wouldn’t let Jing Yaorong get away with it if he dared to hurt Jing Jining. Besides, at that time, the fact that Jing Yaorong had tried to kill Jing Yunyao would be completely exposed too.

Therefore, Gu Ning believed that Jing Yaorong wouldn’t hurt Jing Jining as long as he still had his reason. However, it was possible that Jing Yaorong would become impulsive.

Even though Jing Yaorong would pay for his behavior, Gu Ning still didn’t want anything bad to happen. It would cause a great loss if they couldn’t salvage the situation.

If Jing Jining was really injured, it would become Jing Yunyao’s fault, because it happened because of her. Therefore, Jing Yunyao would be overwhelmed by guilt.

“He should be fine, unless Jing Yaorong wants to ruin himself too, but we need to let Yunyao know about it once we’re back. They must advance their plan if it’s possible,” said Shangguan Yang. He didn’t think that Jing Yaorong would make up his mind to hurt Jing Jining’s family, but it might happen, so he was still worried.

“Sure.” Gu Ning nodded. Given the current situation, there was nothing for Jing Yunyao and Leng Shaoting to think too much about. They were strong enough to defeat the Jing family. Moreover, she wouldn’t stand on the sidelines. Even if she couldn’t defeat an elder, she could deal with some of the weaker ones.

…

Once Jing Jining got back to the Jing family’s house with his father’s subordinate, he was asked to go to Jing Yaorong’s study.

At the same time, Jing Yanhua’s subordinate went to call him over.

Jing Jining understood what Jing Yaorong wanted to know from him. He thought it was unnecessary, but he still obeyed the order.

He couldn’t help disdaining Jing Yaorong in his heart, because Jing Yaorong paid too much attention to him. It seemed that Jing Yaorong didn’t realize it wouldn’t make any difference even if Jing Yunyao found out that they already knew she was still alive.

To be honest, Jing Jining played an important role in this event. After all, he could gain the most from their battle. If Jing Yaorong was unseated, he could become the new patriarch of the Jing family.

Jing Jining would accept the result if it really happened. If Jing Yunyan was able to seize the position, he should deal with Jing Yunyao first, but Jing Jining didn’t think it was possible.

When Jing Jining walked into the study, he saw Jing Yaorong’s angry face. Jing Yaorong stared at him coldly, but he stayed calm.

Although he felt stressed under the pressure released by Jing Yaorong because Jing Yaorong’s level was much higher than his, Jing Jining composed himself.

Anyway, they had already argued a few times, so Jing Jining didn’t bother to be polite to Jing Yaorong now. He decided to be threatening too!

“Patriarch, what happened?” Jing Jining asked purposefully. It sounded as if Jing Yaorong asked to see him for something good.

Jing Yaorong clearly knew that Jing Jining deliberately did that, but he got angrier. “Jing Jining, stop playing dumb with me,” he said coldly.

“What? Patriarch, I don’t understand what you’re talking about. How could I know what has happened if you don’t tell me? Please be straightforward. I’m so tired of guessing,” said Jing Jining. He was blaming Jing Yaorong for wasting time.

“You…” Jing Yaorong was mad. Although he knew that Jing Jining did that on purpose, he had to admit that it wasn’t wrong, so he suddenly didn’t know what to say.

As a result, Jing Yaorong fell into silence, coldly staring at Jing Jining.

Seeing Jing Yaorong remaining silent, Jing Jining said nothing. Because Jing Yaorong didn’t tell him to sit, he stood there still.

Before long, Jing Yanhua came.

“Hi, Yaorong.” Once Jing Yanhua came in, he called Jing Yaorong, but he noticed Jing Yaorong’s angry expression the next moment, and immediately realized that Jing Yaorong must be very mad at Jing Jining.

Jing Yanhua felt resigned, but he could understand it. Ever since Jing Jining learned about what Jing Yaorong had done to Jing Yunyao, he refused to have a good attitude towards Jing Yaorong again, but he would stay respectful at least on the surface.

However, after the fact that Jing Yunyao wasn’t dead was exposed, Jing Jining became aggressive, especially before Jing Yaorong.

“Yeah,” said Jing Yaorong in a flat voice.

“Jing Jining, why did Shangguan Yang want to see you?” Jing Yaorong didn’t ask that until Jing Yanhua came.

“Senior Shangguan came to see his residence. I’m responsible for building his house. Why do you think he wants to see me?” Jing Jining asked, implying that Shangguan Yang came to see him because of the house.

“Jing Jining, stop it now! You better be honest with me!” said Jing Yaorong angrily.

“Then why do you think Senior Shangguan wants to see me? Because of Yunyao?” Jing Jining continued. He actually already had the answer, because Jing Yaorong believed that Shangguan Yang came to see him for Jing Yunyao.

“Isn’t that the real reason?” Jing Yaorong asked coldly. “Why was Yunyan chased away after he went there with you? Tell me, was it your idea?”
