Jia Tianshou had a face full of anger, and slapped Jia Lin's face hard.
If not for Lin Chen's generosity, not bearing a grudge and stepping in, he would have been killed by Jia Lin just now.
Jia Tianshou snorted coldly: "Jia Lin, back then I kept you in the Jia family because you were distant kin, but now you're becoming more and more excessive. Pack your things quickly and return to the old ho."
Upon hearing Jia Tianshou's words, Jia Lin's expression suddenly changed.
The "old ho" Jia Tianshou ntioned was a poverty-stricken village where not even dogs shat or chickens laid eggs, a world apart from the bustling city life.
"Master, I was wrong, please don't make
leave." Jia Lin's face turned pale and he knelt on the ground, "I've been diligent in Jia's family for these years, even if I haven't achieved anything remarkable, I've worked hard!"
Jia Tianshou snorted coldly: "Jia Lin, do you really think I don't know about the things you've done using the Jia family's reputation over the years? Because we are relatives, I didn't hold it against you, and now you're daring to talk to
about achievents or hardships?"
Upon hearing Jia Tianshou's words, Jia Lin knew that he had offended soone he couldn't afford to offend, and he sat on the ground with a thud.
Jia Tianshou ordered the bodyguards beside him: "You throw this guy out, I don't want to see him again."
The two bodyguards directly lifted Jia Lin off the ground and dragged him outside.
Jia Lin kept struggling and wailing: "Master Jia, Mr. Lin, I know I was wrong..."
Seeing this scene, those around were shocked at how much Jia Tianshou valued Lin Chen, to the point of directly expelling a long-ti steward to appease him.
Jia Tianshou no longer paid attention to Jia Lin and shouted at his two sons: "You two rebellious ones, co over and apologize to Mr. Lin."
Jia Yun and Jia Kun hurriedly ca over and bowed to Lin Chen: "Mr. Lin, it was our fault for not recognizing you. Please forgive us."
Lin Chen saw that the other party had already admitted their wrongs, and as he had no enmity with Jia Kun, he fully understood that Jia Kun had targeted him because of Yao Hui, so Lin Chen wasn't bothered.
"Forget it, let the past be the past," Lin Chen waved his hand and said.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin." Both brothers breathed a sigh of relief.
At this mont, Li Wei ca forward to Lin Chen with an embarrassed look, and deeply bowed: "Mr. Lin, I always believed that Chinese dicine was rely an empty na, but today I finally realized its power. I have offended you earlier, please forgive ."
Seeing Li Wei bowing to Lin Chen, the old Chinese dicine doctors rebuked by Li Wei earlier were secretly pleased.
After all, Chinese dicine is increasingly disregarded nowadays, and today Lin Chen can be said to have restored face for Chinese dicine.
Lin Chen was first taken aback, then smiled lightly: "In fact, both Chinese and Western dicine have their strengths and should mutually respect each other. We must not forget or insult the things handed down by our ancestors."
Li Wei continuously nodded: "Mr. Lin, your words are wise. From now on, I will never underestimate Chinese dicine."
Jia Tianshou's illness was cured, and those doctors left one after another.
A few people followed Jia Tianshou into a secret room, and after sitting down, Yu Feifei said: "Mr. Jia, we've co this ti on the orders of the Sect Master to obtain the treasure you ntioned."
Jia Tianshou nodded: "The treasure is not here; I will take you there now."
Jia Tianshou soon arranged vehicles, and the group headed towards a mountain range.
"The place we're going to this ti is called Rock City, which is at the junction of three countries, thus becoming a lawless zone, very chaotic with many international fugitives, even so ruthless gangsters frequently operating there," said Jia Tianshou grimly.
"Hmph, we're people from the dicine Sect, who would dare offend us?" Yao Hui snorted.
Jia Tianshou smiled bitterly: "Young Master Yao, there are many ruthless people in Rock City. It's best not to cause more trouble as those guys don't care what sect you belong to; they even dare challenge the king of the gods."
Yu Feifei also said in a somber tone: "Rock City is a mixed bag; we need to be very careful and must act with discretion, not causing trouble."
Yao Hui snorted again, clearly not fond of Feifei's words.
Jia Tianshou continued: "Our Jia family has a mine there; the workers found a stone coffin while mining. The corpse inside has decayed and there was no treasure, but we did find this."
Saying this, Jia Tianshou took out his phone: "This is a photo sent by the person in charge there; tell
what this crystal stone looks like to you."
"Heaven Source Crystal!"
Lin Chen couldn't help feeling delighted upon seeing the crystal.
The others also recognized the crystal as the extrely precious Heaven Source Crystal found in the ancient martial world.
"Mr. Jia, you haven't let the workers spread this news, have you?" Yu Feifei asked worriedly.
After all, if the Heaven Source Crystal is genuine, it will surely attract disciples and forces from various sects competing for it.
Mr. Jia nodded: "Miss Yu, don't worry, I've made the workers keep it a strict secret and won't leak the news."
Yao Hui said confidently: "Feifei, don't worry, let's consider this a pasti; I've heard the black market trading in Rock City is quite good, one can find lots of treasures, and as for safety, don't worry, with
here no one dares to snatch our things."
Hearing Yao Hui's words, Mr. Jia furrowed his brows but said nothing.
Although Mr. Jia could see that their strength was formidable, Rock City also contained undiscovered talents.
The Land Rover drove for a day and a night; in the morning, Lin Chen woke from sleep and found the car was already on a winding road.
Due to the very steep slope, the car moved slowly, and a small town looming not far away appeared.
"Is that Rock City?"
As the car entered Rock City, Lin Chen felt waves of formidable auras coming from surroundings.
Occasionally, he could see pools of blood and corpses in street corners.
In so dark corners, there were constant fierce gazes scanning the slowly moving Land Rover.
Indeed, this place was sinister.
"Is this Rock City? So chaotic..." Yu Feifei yawned and looked out the window.
"Let's find a restaurant first to rest and eat sothing," Jia Tianshou said.
Yu Feifei shook her head: "Let's go to the mine first; I'll feel at ease only after securing the crystal."
"Alright!" Jia Tianshou nodded as well.
Although he employed a considerable ard force to guard the mine, they could resist ordinary bandits, but encountering powerful martial artists would be futile.
Soon, the car passed through Rock City and drove for half an hour, arriving at a mining hill.
As soon as the car stopped, over ten ard n led by a petite woman ca toward the car.
"Dad, why did you co personally?"
The petite woman wore leather clothing, her appearance not as beautiful as Yu Feifei, but she had a rare boldness among girls.
"I'm here with people from the dicine Sect, let
introduce you: this is the Sect Master's daughter Yu Feifei, this is Lin Chen, the top disciple of the Human Hall, and this is Yao Hui, the top disciple of the Heaven Hall," Mr. Jia introduced.
"Hello everyone, I am Jia Xiaoling, just call
Xiaoling. You've had a long journey, let's go inside to rest and have sothing to eat first."
The group followed Jia Xiaoling toward the mining site.
anwhile, behind a pile of stones in the distance, a man in black watched their backs through binoculars, with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.
