Jing Yan’s gaze coldly swept over the fat man.
From a distance, he had already heard soone angrily declare that Bi Fang was dood to die. Now, up close, he heard this fat man inquiring about his identity, so Jing Yan naturally knew that this person was Dong Laifu, the Manager in charge of overseeing this one million mu of the dicine Field ntioned by Bi Fang.
"Who is Brother Bi Fang?" Jing Yan asked.
At this mont, Bi Fang was also sizing up Jing Yan and Xia Yu, but of course, he didn’t recognize the two of them.
Upon hearing Jing Yan speak, Bi Fang was taken aback. Could it be that these two were here specifically to find him? But he had never even seen these two people before!
"I am Bi Fang, may I ask who you are?" Bi Fang stepped forward, cupped his hands towards Jing Yan, and asked with a look of confusion in his eyes.
"Brother Bi Fang, I am Jing Yan." Jing Yan also cupped his hands towards Bi Fang, his expression softened significantly.
Upon hearing Jing Yan announce his na, Bi Fang was even more puzzled. The na sounded completely unfamiliar.
Jing Yan’s fa within the Luo Jiu Divine Palace was naturally quite significant, with many prominent figures being aware of him. However, how many Martial Artists were there in the First Palace of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace? They were practically innurable. Among these people, probably only a very few had heard of Jing Yan.
A Martial Artist like Bi Fang, who rarely left the Jade Bay dicine Field, would have even less chance of hearing about Jing Yan. Besides, even if he had happened to hear the na Jing Yan sowhere, he probably wouldn’t associate the dazzlingly talented newcor with the Jing Yan standing before him.
"Brother Bi Fang, are you in trouble?" Jing Yan continued when he saw that Bi Fang was unresponsive.
"Boy, didn’t you hear ?" Dong Laifu was losing his patience.
Earlier, he had asked the two who they were, but these two strangers completely ignored him, making him lose face. His expression turned even more sinister as he angrily questioned them.
"How dare you!" Xia Yu admonished Dong Laifu in a low voice.
"I am Xia Yu, Steward of the First Palace Qingmu Departnt." Xia Yu announced his identity.
Qingmu Departnt? Steward?
The surrounding crowd stirred slightly. Everyone was aware of the Ninety-nine Departnts, including the Qingmu Departnt. As ordinary Martial Artists of the First Palace, who wouldn’t want to enter the Ninety-nine Departnts and beco a mber?
However, recruiting mbers into the Ninety-nine Departnts was extrely strict, and not just any Martial Artist could get in. To join, one’s Martial Arts Cultivation had to be high, and one had to be young. If you were over ten thousand years old, no matter how strong you were, the Ninety-nine Departnts would not take you in.
Knowing that Xia Yu was a steward of the Qingmu Departnt, it was unavoidable that the people around felt a bit moved.
Upon hearing Xia Yu claim to be a steward of the Qingmu Departnt, Dong Laifu’s eyes flickered slightly. The identity of a Qingmu Departnt steward was not so simple. Although he wasn’t afraid of a steward from the Qingmu Departnt, he naturally wouldn’t want to offend one if unnecessary.
"So, you’re a steward from the Qingmu Departnt." Dong Laifu forced a smile on his chubby face and cupped his hands towards Xia Yu.
Xia Yu glanced at Dong Laifu but did not return the gesture.
Dong Laifu imdiately felt awkward, his anger rising once again.
"Steward Xia Yu, I wonder what brings you to my dicine Field? Could it be that you are here to recruit Martial Artists for the Qingmu Departnt?" Seeing Xia Yu not giving him face, Dong Laifu’s tone beca significantly firr.
In his view, if Xia Yu didn’t give him face, why should he give Xia Yu face? Xia Yu was rely a steward of the Qingmu Departnt, and in terms of rank and status, he was at most on par with himself. Even if the Chief of the Qingmu Departnt ca, it wouldn’t affect the dicine Field Manager’s authority.
"Manager Dong Laifu, why did you say that Martial Artist Bi Fang was dood to die just now? Did he make so grave error?" Xia Yu’s eyes glead as he grinned.
"He certainly made a mistake, Steward Xia Yu, you can see the situation in the dicine Field. An entire ten thousand mu of near-harvest Spirit Grass is gone, just like that. And this part of the dicine Field was directly under Bi Fang’s managent. Such a huge loss, he cannot evade the bla!" Dong Laifu chuckled lightly.
Jing Yan glanced again at the dicine Field. When he ca over earlier, he noticed the condition of the dicine Field; it seed to have been destroyed by human intervention.
"Brother Bi Fang, what’s going on?" Jing Yan asked.
Jing Yan had only caught the last few lines of the exchange between Bi Fang and Dong Laifu, so he wasn’t clear about the whole situation. If it was Bi Fang’s fault, Jing Yan couldn’t just take him and leave like that; at the very least, they needed to compensate for the loss of the dicine Field.
Bi Fang looked at Jing Yan, then at Xia Yu.
With Xia Yu being a steward of the Qingmu Departnt, it seed likely that Jing Yan was not an ordinary person either, possibly a mber of the Qingmu Departnt.
His original intention was to escalate the matter, and with soone from the Qingmu Departnt present, it was unlikely that Dong Laifu could cover it up.
After a mont’s consideration, Bi Fang summarized the events.
After listening to Bi Fang’s account, Jing Yan fully understood. Evidently, the fault did not lie with Bi Fang, and responsibility should fall entirely on the person called Ren Qian.
"Brother Bi Fang, does it still make sense for you to stay at this dicine Field? Why not leave?" Jing Yan suggested to Bi Fang.
"Ah?" Bi Fang was montarily stunned, not understanding Jing Yan’s suggestion.
Leave?
At this mont, he indeed wanted to leave, but the question was, even if he wanted to, would Dong Laifu let him? Would the Jade Bay dicine Field’s managent allow him to just walk away? And what about his subordinates, the other three with Ran Hou?
Ren Qian wanted Ran Hou dead, and he absolutely couldn’t abandon Ran Hou.
"Leave?"
"Where did this reckless kid co from? Who do you think you are? You think you can tell Bi Fang to leave just like that? How laughable!" Ren Qian sneered, casting his eyes over Jing Yan, speaking with a sarcastic tone.
"You must be Ren Qian?" Jing Yan looked towards Ren Qian.
"That’s right, I am Ren Qian, so what?" Ren Qian, known for his roughness, wouldn’t be intimidated by Jing Yan.
Even if Jing Yan was really a mber of the Qingmu Departnt, so what? His backer was a prominent figure within the entire First Palace.
Jing Yan smiled at Ren Qian.
He turned his gaze towards Dong Laifu, "Manager Dong Laifu, just now Brother Bi Fang recounted the events. If what Brother Bi Fang said is true, shouldn’t the bla for this incident not fall on Brother Bi Fang or his dicine Farrs Team? Shouldn’t you hold Ren Qian accountable for the destruction of the dicine Field?"
"Heh..."
"Do you think you need to teach how to handle this?" Dong Laifu said with a sinister smile.
"I am naturally not here to teach you how to determine responsibility. Enough, I don’t want to waste more ti on this. I am taking the Bi Fang Team out of the dicine Field now. Whatever procedures are necessary, report them to the managent quickly." Jing Yan said, waving his hand.
