Chapter 2549: It Isn’t Wrong

“Well.” Jing Jining sneered. “Patriarch, you thought too much. Actually, it’s Senior Shangguan who wanted me to have a tour in his house. Yunyan asked to go with us, and annoyed Senior Shangguan. After all, Yunyan wasn’t invited. For my sake, Senior Shangguan didn’t chase Yunyan away at the beginning.”

After a pause, Jing Jining continued. “It’s Senior Shangguan’s residence, and Yunyan is an outsider. Without Senior Shangguan’s invitation, he shouldn’t go inside. It’s very understandable that Senior Shangguan was unhappy. That’s the reason why Yunyan was chased away. It has nothing to do with me.”

“Didn’t you give Shangguan Yang any hints that made him chase Yunyan away?” Jing Yaorong didn’t believe it.

“Patriarch, Senior Shangguan is a lot more important than me. I don’t think he would do that for me. I’m not influential enough. Anyway, if you refuse to believe me, I can do nothing. It’ll be meaningless no matter how I explain since there is no trust between us. I think you should stop questioning me about that!” Jing Jining lost his patience.

“Mind your attitude!” Jing Yaorong felt embarrassed by Jing Jining, so he got angry. “Jing Jining, how could you talk to me like that?”

He was the Jing family’s patriarch, and except for Jing Jining, no one dared to be so rude to him in the Jing family. Jing Jining always behaved against him and even appeared aggressive.

“Then how should I talk to you? You’re the patriarch, but I’m not a servant. Do I have to listen to you no matter what?” Jing Jining felt that Jing Yaorong was ridiculous. He told the truth, but Jing Yaorong refused to believe it. Their communication was totally meaningless!

“You…” Jing Yaorong was mad. Although he wouldn’t force Jing Jining to listen to him, he wouldn’t allow him to go against or even fool him. He still believed that Jing Jining didn’t tell him the truth.

“Let me ask you, did you talk about Jing Yunyao with Shangguan Yang?” Jing Yaorong asked.

“Yes, Yunyao is my cousin. I care about her. When I met Senior Shangguan, shouldn’t I ask him about her condition?” Jing Jining replied.

It wasn’t wrong, but Jing Yaorong wanted to know something other than that. “Did you tell Shangguan Yang that the Jing family is aware that Yunyao isn’t dead?”

“No,” said Jing Jining, lying. However, he didn’t look guilty at all.

As usual, Jing Yaorong refused to believe him and continued to question him. “Did you or did you not?”

“I didn’t! I already told you the answer. Patriarch, if you still refuse to believe me, I think we should stop. My answer won’t change. I told you I didn’t,” said Jing Jining.

Jing Yaorong didn’t say anything, but focused on Jing Jining, trying to find out whether he was guilty.

Unfortunately, after watching Jing Jining for a long while, he still couldn’t see anything wrong with him. “Fine, if so, can you promise on your parents’ lives? If you told Shangguan Yang that we already found out that Jing Yunyao isn’t dead, your…”

“Patriarch.” Jing Jining stopped him right away before Jing Yaorong could finish. At this moment, Jing Jining was furious. Jing Yanhua was also extremely displeased. What Jing Yaorong wanted was unacceptable!

Although his parents wouldn’t really be in trouble because of his promise, it hurt deeply that Jing Yaorong asked him to do that.

“Believe it or not, but don’t force me to do such an evil thing. My parents are as important as my life. I won’t risk their lives to make a stupid promise. I have no intention of interfering in your grudge against Yunyao. However, Patriarch, if you continue to cause me trouble and force me to listen to you, I might change my mind.” Jing Jining threatened.

He had told Shangguan Yang that Jing Yaorong was already aware that Jing Yunyao wasn’t dead. However, he still wouldn’t risk his parents’ safety to make such a promise, even if he hadn’t. Whether he had or not, he wouldn’t put his parents in danger.

Although in his parents’ eyes, he had done many wrong things. He would never hurt his parents. He would risk his own life instead of his parents’.

“You…” Jing Yaorong realized that he shouldn’t have said that, but he was really not convinced by Jing Jining’s reply. Anyway, he was very mad at Jing Jining’s threat.

“Yaorong, Jining listened to you and never left the cultivation world. You also sent someone to spy on him. Did you catch him doing anything wrong? Senior Shangguan came today, and wanted to see him. Would you stop him from going? If you aim to do that, go tell Senior Shangguan not to see Jining again. You don’t think Senior Shangguan deserves your respect, but we do. Jining also told you that he didn’t tell Senior Shangguan that you already know that Yunyao isn’t dead. Why won’t you believe him? Do you have to force Jining to say that he told Senior Shangguan? If he did, what will you do? Kill him?” Jing Yanhua was extremely angry.

Even though he thought that Jing Jining might have told Shangguan Yang about it, he didn’t think it was a big deal. Since Jing Jining denied it, as Jing Jining’s father, he would defend Jing Jining.

Jing Yaorong was embarrassed, because he didn’t dare to tell Shangguan Yang not to see Jing Jining again.

What would he do if Jing Jining admitted that he had told Shangguan Yang he knew that Jing Yunyao was still alive? It was impossible for him to kill Jing Jining, but it was unavoidable that he would injure him. He wouldn’t allow any member of the Jing family to betray him.

The moment Jing Yanhua finished speaking, Jing Jining added. “Patriarch, do you really think it’ll help you if Yunyao doesn’t know that you already found out that she’s still alive? It won’t change the result whether she knows about it or not. You should know Yunyao’s level is extremely high by now, so…”
