Chapter 2135: What Share Does My Ying Family Get?
Yingzhu Lord Mansion.
Lord Ying Zhu and Chunyu Qing sat within the reception room of the mansion, their postures were subtly intricate.
If it were in the past, a meeting between Lord Ying Zhu and this powerful dominion lord Chunyu Qing would certainly have Lord Ying Zhu be cautious or even ingratiating, while Chunyu Qing might not even bother to pay attention. Yet now, in the reception room of Lord Ying Zhu, it was Chunyu Qing who proactively sought to form a rapport with Lord Ying Zhu, his face always maintaining a smile, vaguely exuding a subservient vibe.
To tell the truth, Lord Ying Zhu was not used to this. His heart was surely somewhat angry towards Chunyu Qing; it was the Chunyu Family who disrupted the rules, indirectly causing Zu Ming to declare war on the Ying Family. Were it not for Mr. Jing Yan, the Ying Family would surely have been razed to the ground by now.
Yet facing Chunyu Qing, someone nearing the Immortal Rhythm Level as a strong person, Ying Zhu truly lacked much confidence.
But he could not show himself as overly friendly either, as he was unsure of Mr. Jing Yan’s attitude towards the Chunyu Family. Before knowing Jing Yan’s intentions, Lord Ying Zhu felt he couldn’t make any guarantees towards Chunyu Qing.
With both harboring their own concerns, speaking sporadically between, Jing Yan arrived.
As Jing Yan entered the reception room, Lord Ying Zhu and Lord Chunyu Qing immediately stood up; Chunyu Qing’s body slightly trembled, although the movement was tiny, it still caught Jing Yan’s eye.
It was evident that Chunyu Qing, this assertive lord, was inwardly very nervous.
Understandably nervous too, as he was facing someone who could defeat the Immortal Rhythmic Strong People, a terrifying individual. Should the other party make a move, he feared a single encounter would be difficult to withstand.
"Greetings, Mr. Jing Yan!" Chunyu Qing was the first to speak, his expression filled with respect.
Though it was his first time meeting Jing Yan personally, he had already seen Jing Yan’s massacre back in Divine Martial City while in his Radiant City residence.
"And who might this be?" Jing Yan’s mouth curled into a cold smile.
He knew this person should be Chunyu Bo’s father Chunyu Qing, the lord of the Chunyu Family, but he intentionally asked this way.
"Mr. Jing Yan, this is Lord Chunyu Qing." Lord Ying Zhu promptly introduced.
"Oh." Jing Yan’s tone was indifferent.
Chunyu Qing’s heart skipped a beat; he sensed that Jing Yan’s attitude towards him was somewhat cold, and his inner panic intensified.
"Mr. Jing Yan!" Chunyu Qing realized he must seize this opportunity.
"Ji Bian personally came to Radiant City, inquiring about the auction details of the Immortal Rhythm Treasure, and I was helpless, thus had to let Chunyu Bo convey the information to Ji Bian. I did not expect Ji Bian would hence cause Zu Ming to attack the Ying Family territory."
"This matter is my fault, it’s the Chunyu Family’s fault. At this moment, I’ve realized the error. I understand, due to the Chunyu Family, the Ying Family territory and Mr. Jing Yan have suffered immense losses. I came this time to try to compensate for Mr. Jing Yan’s and the Ying Family’s losses as much as possible."
"Mr. Jing Yan, the richness of the Chunyu Family territory is far inferior to the Zu Family territory, so within a few days, I could only gather ten billion Black Crystal Stones, which I have brought all here."
As Chunyu Qing finished speaking, he immediately took out a Storage Magical Treasure, lowering his head to present it to Jing Yan with both hands.
Earlier, there had been a hint of thought in his mind, wondering if he could offer slightly fewer Black Crystal Stones. But upon meeting Jing Yan, that small thought vanished; despite Jing Yan appearing quite young, standing before him felt an overwhelming pressure. If unaware of Jing Yan’s true power, perhaps this pressure wouldn’t be so clear, but now he truly only wished for Jing Yan to not continue holding the Chunyu Family accountable.
Upon hearing Chunyu Qing’s words, Jing Yan’s face finally exhibited a slight smile.
"Chunyu Qing, you’re fairly astute, knowing to proactively come." Jing Yan took the Storage Magical Treasure.
Ten billion Black Crystal Stones should be quite a lot for the Chunyu Family. Chunyu Qing showed a certain level of sincerity.
"If you hadn’t come, I would certainly have gone to Radiant City to find you, and of course, your second son Chunyu Bo." Jing Yan added.
Chunyu Qing’s body shuddered again, showing an awkward smile. He also felt fortunate inwardly; if he hadn’t been proactive, waiting for Jing Yan to come to Radiant City, then perhaps the matter wouldn’t be solvable with just ten billion Black Crystal Stones.
"Thank you, Mr. Jing Yan, for your generosity." Chunyu Qing trembled as he expressed gratitude.
Having given away ten billion Black Crystal Stones, he still had to show gratitude, feeling utterly helpless internally.
"Alright, you may leave now. This matter is settled; I won’t trouble the Chunyu Family further. Also, interact more closely with Lord Ying Zhu in the future." Jing Yan waved his hand.
"Mr. Jing Yan, rest assured! In future, if Lord Ying Zhu needs any help from the Chunyu Family, the Chunyu Family will certainly exert our utmost effort. The Ying Family’s affairs are the Chunyu Family’s affairs." Chunyu Qing promised.
"Well then... Mr. Jing Yan, Lord Ying Zhu, I shall not disturb you any longer. Lord Ying Zhu, when you get to Radiant City, you must come visit me!" Chunyu Qing bowed to Jing Yan and Ying Zhu.
"Alright... sure, then I’ll see Lord Chunyu off." Ying Zhu replied.
After sending Chunyu Qing out, Ying Zhu quickly returned.
In the reception room, Jing Yan and Ying Zhu Lord chatted leisurely for a while and then left the Lord Mansion, returning to Seventh Young Master Ying Zuo’s residence to continue absorbing the Black Crystal Stones and enhancing the storage intensity of Divine Power.
About an hour after Jing Yan left the Yingzhu Lord Mansion, the Second Young Master hurriedly entered the mansion, meeting his father, Lord Ying Zhu.
"Father!"
"Father, I’ve heard that Lord Chunyu Qing was here?" The Second Young Master asked, his face somewhat flushed.
"Indeed!" Lord Ying Zhu nodded.
"Father, did Lord Chunyu Qing compensate with ten billion Black Crystal Stones?" The Second Young Master asked again, his tone excited.
Ten billion Black Crystal Stones!
To the Ying Family, this was an astronomical figure. It should be known that an Immortal Rhythm Treasure is only worth a few million Black Crystal Stones; some stronger Immortal Rhythm Treasures can fetch close to a billion Black Crystal Stones at auction. As a lord, Ying Zhu had only one Immortal Rhythm Treasure that wasn’t considered very strong either.
Ten billion Black Crystal Stones, how many Immortal Rhythm Treasures and Immortal Rhythm Techniques could be purchased?
"Yes, it was ten billion Black Crystal Stones as compensation to Mr. Jing Yan." Lord Ying Zhu nodded again, frowned, and said, "Why are you asking about this? It doesn’t concern you!"
"Father!" The Second Young Master hesitated but still continued, "Father, Lord Chunyu Qing compensated ten billion Black Crystal Stones; how much of it did the Ying Family receive?"
Ying Zhu’s expression changed, lowering his voice and his gaze turned severe: "What are you babbling about? Those Crystal Stones were compensated to Mr. Jing Yan!"
