Chapter 38: Exhausted

The main store of the Jing family covers an area of ​​nearly six acres and is a large house divided into four courtyards.

Among the 24 main stores in Hunzhou Hai City, its area ranks among the top ten.

Jing Qian walked all the way and headed towards the interior. Just as he entered the first courtyard, he met a middle-aged man.

Without even looking up, he walked past the man and continued forward.

When the man saw the familiar masked figure, he froze for a moment, then shouted:

"Master Qian! You're back!"

Then he turned and ran into the backyard, shouting as he ran:
"Master Qian has returned from the sea!"

Then more people rushed out, men and women, old and young.

Although Jing Qian had confirmed the layout of the Jing's main store in detail with Abao, he knew where he was going.

But he couldn't match any of the people in the store.

Therefore, he remained indifferent and kept walking forward as if these onlookers did not exist.

He didn't stop until he walked into the backyard and came to the fourth courtyard where Jing Ran, Jing Qian and the nanny lived together.

According to Abao, this place should be a restricted area for others, and it is a place where only the Jing siblings can move around.

But wherever Jingqian looked, he saw a group of people messing around in the room.

They moved all the daily necessities in the room, including clothes and furniture, to the courtyard and piled them up, as if they were going to clear the room.

But when these people saw Jing Qian walking in, they were suddenly stunned and stopped what they were doing.

Before anyone could speak, a high-pitched female voice rang out from within the room:

"Why did you stop? Move quickly?"

"The furniture I ordered from Luo Jiazheng Store will be delivered soon. How can I not clear out these things?"

As he was speaking, a beautiful woman walked out of the house and also saw Jing Qian wearing a mask.

She was also taken aback, her tone stiffened a little, and she said:
"Master Qian?"

"How could you possibly come back?"

"Where are the others? Where is Brother Wu Yan?"

Jing Qian did not answer the other party's question, but instead asked:

"Where's Granny Qin?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, then replied:

"Grandma Qin...Grandma Qin is dead!"

While she was speaking, another large group of people followed her into the fourth courtyard.

The area that was usually restricted to strangers now seemed like a vegetable market, and anyone could dare to enter.

But Jing Qian had no reaction at all, and just asked again:
"How did Granny Qin die?"

His tone was harsh and emotionless as he pressed the issue directly.

But in the eyes of the young woman, his tone seemed offensive.

Her expression turned cold, and she replied:

"How did he die? He starved to death!"

"With you two aunts and nieces gone, that old blind woman can't even get out of the door. What else can she do except starve to death?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Qian stopped talking and looked around, scanning everyone.

Only a few people avoided his gaze and did not dare to look him in the eye.

But most people looked at him with wolves-like eyes, showing no respect for him, the young master of the main store! Jing Qian asked again:
"Do you have anything to say?"

An old man spoke on behalf of the rest of the people and answered:
"Master, don't listen to Xi girl's nonsense!"

"Sister Qin was old and in poor health. She was also worried about your safety after you two went out to sea. She was overly anxious and sad, which is why she unfortunately passed away."

Jing Qian glanced at the kind-looking old man, and a word emerged in his mind: "old dog who betrays his master"!
Then, he no longer paid attention to the rotten fish and shrimp in front of him, turned around and walked out the door.

Seeing this, the old man hurriedly asked:
"Master, where are you going?"

"Did your aunt come back with you?"

"Where are the others who sailed with you?"

Jing Qian turned a deaf ear and pretended the other party didn't exist.

"Go and stop the young master!"

"Young Master, you have returned from your long voyage. You must rest at home for a while!"

Following the old man's instructions, two strong men walked out of the crowd and headed towards Jing Qian.

These two men are strong and powerful, and at first glance they are strong people who are close to perfection in Yang Yuan. If the real Jing Qian was here, he would probably be caught.

But at this moment, inside Jing Qian's frail body, was a murderous beast!
"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

His figure flashed and he broke in front of the two men. He started to slap the two strong men left and right, giving each of them a slap.

The two men had no time to react and were knocked to the ground by him, unable to get up again!
After standing in the [Fulong Posture] for such a long time, Jing Qian's physical strength has been greatly improved due to the luxurious nourishment of vital energy.

He did not use any supernatural powers, but easily achieved the following results with his physical body.

Then he took a big step and left quickly.

The onlookers were also frightened by his sharp attack and did not take any further action. Some knowledgeable people could not help but screamed:
"The young master had an adventure at sea, and he has achieved great success in raising his Yuan!"

"He has condensed at least two [Life Essences], we must not let him succeed in [Determining Destiny]!"

The old man's face turned pale, and he gave another order:
"Hurry up and send someone to inform each family that the Jing family kid is about to be [destined], and tell them to find a solution quickly!"

"Xi girl, go home quickly and ask the Qian family for instructions on what to do next."

The young woman named Qian Xi naturally knew the urgency of the matter and immediately took the two people away.

After Jing Qian left the Jing family's main store, he did not stop at all and walked towards the outside of Hunzhou Hai City.

He ran quickly towards the main island, exerting his physical strength to the maximum, and his whole body was as fast as a galloping horse.

The situation of the Jing family is even worse than he expected. This group of traitorous jackals are too lazy to even put on an act!

He couldn't help but recall what A-Bao had said after he had pushed him to the limit:

"The Jing family is finished, it's really finished!"

"The Qian family has been working hard for so many years to get the main store location. There's no way they'll give up."

"[The Hunling] will definitely receive compensation, and the Zhou and Xu families are also involved. The Maritime Affairs Bureau only has these three managers, and they all want to make things difficult for the Jing family. Who can resist this?"

"Once the Jing family falls, all of us, the independent cultivators and mortals who followed them, will be finished!"

"After being driven out of Hai City, I can only miserable myself feeding dragons in the forest. There is no hope in this life anymore. There is nothing we can do!"

"Without the suppression of the [Dragon Elephant] and the loss of the core inheritance, the Jing family occupies this main store. Even if a child is carrying gold in the market, this result is inevitable!"

"Whenever a store changes hands, isn't it always this chaotic?"

After coming to this Hunzhou Sea City, Jing Qian had a deeper understanding of what Abao said!
Looking around, there are only wolves, tigers and leopards, not a single good person!
The Jing family was hunted here. If it were someone else, they would never wade into this muddy water.

But Jing Qian just didn't believe it. He wanted to see for himself who could eat up his entire family!
