64. Compensation Part 2
Jing Yunxi lowered her head. Her hands unconsciously gripped the edge of her red sash. The girl felt deeply guilty about the whole situation. After all, it was her guards who had killed all the snakes belonging to Jing Ling and Hua Fei. “I’m actually the one at fault for this. I’m the reason they failed to qualify for the poison class advancement.” Jing Yunxi bowed her head even lower. Jing Yanxi glanced sideways at his sister, feeling annoyed. Even though he had intercepted Jing Ling and Hua Fei, he hadn’t killed a single snake. “That foolish girl is nothing but trouble!” Jing Yanxi cursed inwardly. Fortunately, Elder Luo spoke up immediately. “Madam Yue, on behalf of the entire Jing Family, I sincerely apologize for everything that has happened. Master Jing Cheng didn’t intend to avoid coming himself, but he had something urgent that needed his attention. Therefore, he asked me to come in his place.” Jing Yue folded her arms across her chest. “Oh, so you’re saying the matter wi
63. Compensation
Jing Yanxi clenched the fabric covering his knees. The young man felt completely torn and furious when he recalled the incident. He was utterly powerless against the threat posed by his father, Jing Cheng. “If that damn old man hadn't threatened me with the most terrifying thing, there's no way I would have apologized to that traitorous brat Jing Ling,” Jing Yanxi grumbled inwardly in frustration. "Now, let's take a look at the belongings you've brought!" Jing Yue’s voice snapped Jing Yanxi out of his daze. Startled, Jing Yanxi’s body jolted slightly, causing a sudden disarray in his chest. "Oh, of course, Aunt!" he responded quickly, his heart still pounding. The young man then waved at the guards. "Bring all the items here!" "Yes, Young Master!" six guards of the Jing Family responded in unison. They immediately followed their young master's command, opening the lids of the wooden boxes one by one, each revealing rather valuable items. "Please inspect them, Aunt Yue." Jing Y

Jing Cheng didn’t answer. Instead, he simply put down the tea cup he had just sipped a few times. The man took something out from inside the wide sleeve of his hanfu robe and tossed it directly toward Jing Yanxi. Jing Yanxi swiftly caught the item his father had thrown and immediately unrolled the pale yellow paper scroll, reading the contents that made his chest feel like it was about to explode. “Declaration Letter,” Jing Yanxi began reading. “I, as the head of the Jing Family, with full authority over all family decisions, hereby declare that I will send my firstborn son to serve under the Zhao Family as a young hostage for ten years. I relinquish all responsibility over Jing Yanxi, my son, to the aforementioned family and will not interfere in any matter concerning the young hostage for the next ten years.” “Father, what is this? This isn’t right! How could you do this to me?” Jing Yanxi immediately threw the paper onto the table, then began pacing back and forth, confused, ang
61. Jing Yanxi’s Powerlessness
Jing Yunxi was utterly shocked by Jing Yanxi’s behavior. She even turned her head instinctively, her eyes wide with disbelief. The girl hoped that her ears weren’t playing tricks on her or that she wasn’t mishearing things—but this was far too impossible to believe. “Brother, did I mishear you? Weren’t you just angry and saying you didn’t want to go in?” Jing Yunxi turned around and looked at Jing Yanxi in disbelief. Elder Luo was so confused he didn’t know what to say. “This is...” Silently, Jing Yanxi cursed his clueless younger sister in his heart. What a foolish girl! If he acted rudely toward Jing Yue, did she think anyone would dare go against that woman? “Aunt Yue, please ignore what she said. I am truly sincere in apologizing for all my mistakes three days ago. In addition to compensation for the snakes, we also brought many gifts as a form of our apology.” Jing Yanxi pointed toward all the items they had brought for Hua Yan’s residence. “Yanxi hopes Aunt will be willin
60. Delivering the Goods Part 2
“From what I heard, yes, that’s him. He’s also the one who caused injuries to our young masters and made them lose many of their Blood Ring Serpents, which were supposed to be used as prerequisites for the poison class exam by Young Master Ling and Young Master Fei,” the disciple answered in a hushed voice. “And because of that incident, they had to pay double compensation for the snakes they lost.”“Oh, I see. That’s outrageous—those people from the Jing Family. No wonder Lady Yue refused to return to her original clan. Their attitudes are just so unpleasant,” another disciple grumbled angrily.The disciple beside him added with emotion, “It really is disgraceful. Hopefully this time they won’t cause more trouble for our young masters. If they do, I’m ready to beat them up myself.”“Yes, I hope so too,” a female disciple chimed in. “But that young man’s attitude is so arrogant and prideful. No wonder the others seem to act just like their leader.”“Just like the saying goes: when the
59. Delivering the Goods
Hua Fei, who had just finished straightening Hua Yan’s clothes, immediately turned his face toward his uncle. There was a flicker of anxiety in his eyes that could not be hidden. Hua Yan smiled and gently patted Hua Fei's shoulder. The man then said as he walked toward the exit, "Let us leave everything to fate." Hua Fei felt a deep sadness and dissatisfaction with Hua Yan's answer. He then followed the man who was his greatest protector. If even Hua Yan said such a thing, didn’t it mean that the poison was actually not something easy to handle? Hua Fei hoped for nothing more than his uncle’s health—the only younger brother of his late father. “It seems Uncle is trying to reassure me. But that only makes my heart more restless. After this, I will look into the poison in his body myself,” Hua Fei muttered inwardly as he continued to follow Hua Yan. They left the library room and proceeded to another location, where rows of disciples from the Misty Valley Sect were already lined up
