The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2549 - 2538: Execution
Previously on The Strongest Dandy in the City...
Jia Mengqing never anticipated that things would develop in this direction.
Her original plan was that today would be the day Du Zishi, the young master of the Blood Origin Sect, would come to marry her. She only needed to disrupt the event publicly, but who knew the Jia family anticipated her causing trouble and postponed the wedding by a day?
Under the threat of Jia Xiaowen.
She could only temporarily return to the Jia family, whispering softly in Ye Chenfeng’s ear, "Don’t worry, I’ll make sure nothing happens to you."
Ye Chenfeng merely nodded silently.
Once the group entered Frost Heaven City, they returned to the Jia family residence.
The two ancestors of the Jia family and all the Great Elders were gathered in the council hall.
When Jia Xiaowen brought Jia Mengqing and the others into the hall, all eyes were immediately on Jia Mengqing.
The news that Jia Mengqing claimed to be Ye Chenfeng’s woman at the city gate had already spread back; everyone present was aware of it.
At the chief position in the hall sat two old men, Jia Nianshan and Jia Lizhong, the ancestors of the Jia family at the Divine Emperor Realm Initial Stage. Jia Nianshan was the direct ancestor of Jia Mengqing.
Jia Lizhong admonished, "Outrageous, utterly outrageous."
The momentum of his Divine Emperor Realm Initial Stage surged toward Ye Chenfeng. Only Jia Kun, with his barely peak strength, stood in front of Ye Chenfeng without hesitation, blocking the brunt of the impact.
With a "bang!"
Jia Lizhong’s momentum struck Jia Kun’s chest.
Jia Kun’s body involuntarily softened, and he fell to his knees, blood continuously spilling from his mouth.
Seeing this, Jia Mengqing shouted, "Grandpa Kun, are you okay?"
She helped Jia Kun up from the ground, standing in front of Ye Chenfeng alongside him.
Ye Chenfeng slightly frowned; for Jia Kun kneeling, he would ensure he repaid this in due time.
"Jia Kun, do you intend to rebel? You’re merely a steward of the Jia family, and we haven’t yet held you accountable for helping Jia Mengqing leave. How dare you obstruct me?" Jia Lizhong roared angrily.
Jia Nianshan finally spoke, "Mengqing, you are so thoughtless; don’t you know the Emperor’s Fruit is crucial to your father? The Blood Origin Sect and our Jia family are well-matched, and Du Zishi is a genius—how is he unworthy of you?"
"The matter is settled; no one can change it. Even if you die, as long as Du Zishi is willing to marry you, our Jia family will still give your body to the Blood Origin Sect."
Jia Nianshan was Jia Mengqing’s direct ancestor! For him to say such a ruthless thing displayed genuinely hardened resolve.
Jia Kun, with blood continuously spilling from his mouth, was filled with helplessness. He wanted to help Jia Mengqing, but with his strength, he was truly powerless.
Jia Mengqing looked at Jia Kun and Ye Chenfeng, saying, "This matter has nothing to do with others. I’m willing to marry Du Zishi, so don’t trouble anyone else. This is my only request; if you don’t agree, then let Du Zishi marry my corpse!"
Jia Nianshan frowned, "Fine, as long as you’re willing to marry, I’ll agree to this request."
"Alright, go prepare for Du Zishi to marry you tomorrow!"
Jia Nianshan waved his hand.
Jia Mengqing, Ye Chenfeng, and Jia Kun were taken away, and eventually, Ye Chenfeng was placed in a courtyard.
At the gate of the courtyard, two people from the Jia family at the Divine King Realm Initial Stage were guarding.
And Jia Mengqing and Jia Kun’s freedom was also restricted.
Ye Chenfeng was not at all worried about his current situation. He even hoped the Blood Origin Sect would come quickly, as he was eager to seize the Emperor’s Fruit.
After all, he felt no goodwill toward the Jia family or the Blood Origin Sect; stealing the Blood Origin Sect’s betrothal gifts for the Jia family came with no burden.
While Ye Chenfeng and the others were restricted in their freedom.
No one had yet left the council hall of the Jia family.
Jia Xiaowen said, "Ancestor, can we really let that unknown boy off?"
Jia Lizhong chuckled coldly, shaking his head, "What happened before the city gate will soon reach the ears of the Blood Origin Sect’s Du Zishi. That kid is petty and won’t let it slide. We must give the Blood Origin Sect an explanation."
"After all, the Blood Origin Sect is slightly stronger than our Jia family, and this time we agreed to the alliance, we’re in the wrong."
Jia Nianshan also said, "Indeed, when Du Zishi comes to marry Mengqing tomorrow, we’ll give him a satisfactory explanation. That kid being Mengqing’s man? Utterly baseless, you know Mengqing’s nature."
"So how do we give the Blood Origin Sect a satisfactory explanation tomorrow?" Jia Xiaowen asked again.
Jia Nianshan’s killing intent was apparent, "Simple, execute that kid publicly. Not only that, but we can’t keep Jia Kun either; he’s just a dog of our Jia family. When a dog no longer listens to its master, what’s the use of keeping it?"
Jia Lizhong nodded, "Right, Jia Kun can’t be kept. Does he think he’s someone important? He can’t even recognize his master anymore. However, given how long he’s been with our Jia family, we’ll give him a quick end, consider it a mercy."
Jia Xiaowen didn’t oppose Jia Nianshan and Jia Lizhong’s arrangements. Currently, he was eager to obtain the Emperor’s Fruit, having been at the Extreme Peak for many years. Securing the Emperor’s Fruit would significantly increase his chances of entering the Divine Emperor Realm Initial Stage.
After all, the Extreme Peak and Divine Emperor Realm are incomparable, so even at the cost of his daughter’s happiness, he sought the Emperor’s Fruit.
"Ancestor, but if we publicly execute Jia Kun and that kid, Mengqing’s emotions will surely spiral out of control," Jia Xiaowen worriedly mentioned.
Jia Nianshan laughed, "Just seal Mengqing’s acupoints in advance, and she won’t even have the chance to commit suicide. Once she’s become Du Zishi’s woman, she’ll likely accept this reality."
Since the Family Head and Ancestors decided, the other Great Elders of the Jia family naturally had no objections.
Completely devoid of kinship.
The Jia family brought cold-blooded ruthlessness to its extreme, perhaps seeing Ye Chenfeng as no more than an ant they could crush at any moment, not taking him seriously at all.
They meticulously schemed, planning everything for the morrow.
But they might find themselves losing instead of gaining.
A trifling Jia family.
A trifling Blood Origin Sect.
Does Ye Chenfeng need to concern himself with them?
He likely won’t linger long in the Lower Realm and will soon head to the Middle Realm.
