Chapter 877: After Modification: Chapter 877 Disciplining on Your Behalf

Chu Lianxing stopped and looked at Jing Yan.

”It’s not a big deal! Recently, our Chu Family discovered a new mineral source in the gathering place, but the news leaked out before we could secure it, and another Second Grade force, the Jade Book Sect, found out. Now, the Jade Book Sect wants to compete with our Chu Family for this mineral source.”

”To avoid large-scale conflict, the Netherworld Sect is stepping in. The Jade Book Sect and the Chu Family will have a contest, and the winner will obtain the mining rights!” Chu Lianxing briefly explained the situation to Jing Yan.

”The Commander just sent someone to find me for a meeting in the Council Hall to finalize the participants for the contest. It happened that you and Ruoyu came by, so I got delayed a bit,” Chu Lianxing added.

”Then I’ll go with my mother and take a look!” Jing Yan thought for a moment and said.

”Alright, it’s good for you to come along!” Chu Lianxing nodded.

Jing Yan followed Chu Lianxing, with Fang Ruoyu joining them, as they headed towards the Council Hall.

Although the Chu Family Camp was somewhat rudimentary, the Council Hall was specifically established. After all, major events frequently occurred in this Chaotic Land, requiring a dedicated place for discussions.

Jing Yan and Chu Lianxing entered the Council Hall, while Fang Ruoyu waited outside. At that moment, there were dozens of people already waiting inside the hall.

Upon seeing Chu Lianxing and Jing Yan walk in, everyone’s eyes immediately turned towards them, scanning Chu Lianxing first, then stopping on Jing Yan.

A stranger entering the Council Hall with Chu Lianxing naturally drew attention.

”Lord Commander!” Chu Lianxing slightly bowed to the elderly man sitting at the head of the table.

”Vice Commander Lianxing is here, take your seat!” The elderly man nodded at Chu Lianxing, pointing to a seat below him, and spoke.

”Vice Commander Lianxing, who is this young man? Why did you bring him in?” A middle-aged man frowned at Jing Yan and asked Chu Lianxing.

”I heard from the guard earlier that a stranger came to our Chu Family Camp looking for Vice Commander Lianxing. It must be this young man, right?” Another person spoke.

”This man looks very unfamiliar, he shouldn’t be a prominent member of our Chu Family, right?” An elderly man in black armor scrutinized Jing Yan with a half-smile.

The people speaking were all Deputy Commanders in the camp, having the same status as Chu Lianxing.

The Council Hall was a crucial place within the camp.

Ordinary people, even members of the Chu Family, usually had no right to enter. So, their inquiries upon Jing Yan’s entrance were understandable.

”Jing Yan is indeed a member of the Chu Family!” Chu Lianxing frowned and said.

”Oh? That’s strange. The Chu Family has many members, but I’m sure I’ve seen all the excellent young masters of the Chu Family. Yet, I have no impression of him. Wait, this young man is called Jing Yan? He doesn’t even share the Chu surname. How could he be a Chu Family’s young master?” The elderly man in black armor’s face darkened.

”Jing Yan is my son!” Chu Lianxing’s aura suddenly tensed.

She didn’t intend to hide Jing Yan’s identity.

If Jing Yan’s cultivation was low, she might have considered if revealing his identity would cause trouble for him. But now that Jing Yan was in the Third Realm of Holy, did she still need to hide it?

She was determined to say it!

Even if these people didn’t ask, she would find an opportunity to reveal Jing Yan’s identity. Jing Yan was her son.

As soon as Chu Lianxing said this, everyone present instantly fell silent. For a moment, all their gazes conveyed a hint of surprise.

They truly hadn’t expected that this young stranger would be Chu Lianxing’s son.

They all knew that Chu Lianxing had a child outside. This matter might not be known to ordinary Chu Family members, but all these high-ranking figures were aware. The incident back then was quite significant. The Chu Family had sent numerous experts to the Buffer Zone of Despair Abyss to bring Chu Lianxing back, so even the Chu Family Patriarch couldn’t hide it.

Everyone knew Chu Lianxing had a child in the Human Territory of the Heavenly Origin Continent. The surprise now was mainly about how this child had traveled from the Heavenly Origin Continent to Despair Abyss and even made it to the Chu Family Camp in the Chaotic Land.

”Vice Commander Lianxing, your son was in the Heavenly Origin Continent. How did he come here?” someone asked.

”Exactly! Even if he couldn’t make it in the Heavenly Origin Continent and wanted to come to the Chu Family for resources, he should have gone to the main base in Feiyu City! This Chaotic Land is extremely dangerous,” a somewhat sharp voice sounded.

This person believed that Jing Yan had come to the Chu Family in Despair Abyss to obtain cultivation resources.

Since Jing Yan was Chu Lianxing’s son and Chu Lianxing was the daughter of the Chu Family Patriarch, once Jing Yan entered the Chu Family, obtaining some resources would definitely be an easy task.

Many people present shared the same thoughts as the Deputy Commander who spoke.

Jing Yan looked very ordinary, showing no notable qualities. And considering his young age, they deduced his cultivation wasn’t high.

As for how Jing Yan got here from the Heavenly Origin Continent, it was probably orchestrated by Chu Lianxing, secretly arranging for someone to bring Jing Yan over.

On hearing these words, Chu Lianxing’s face immediately showed a hint of anger.

”Deputy Commander Chu Zhen, what do you mean by that?” Chu Lianxing asked sharply.

”Vice Commander Lianxing, don’t get mad. I meant no harm. Besides, this... Jing Yan, right? Since Jing Yan is your son, there’s no problem with him joining the Chu Family. As a Chu Family young master, it’s only natural for him to obtain some resources.” Deputy Commander Chu Zhen chuckled.

The Chu Family Camp had one Commander and four Deputy Commanders. The Commander was in the Second Realm of Holy, while the four Deputy Commanders were all in the First Stage of Holy. These Deputy Commanders were deeply rooted members of the Chu Family. Therefore, even though Chu Lianxing was the Patriarch’s daughter, they weren’t overly cautious around her.

Moreover, Chu Lianxing was a woman.

Whether in the Heavenly Origin Continent or Despair Abyss, female martial artists generally had a lower status compared to male martial artists. Unless the female’s strength was overwhelming enough to suppress the male members completely, gaining true respect was challenging.

”Chu Zhen, right?” Jing Yan spoke up at this moment.

He fully realized that these people weren’t very courteous to his mother.

Since they were targeting his mother Chu Lianxing, as a son, when would he stand up if not now?

”One should be careful not to be too arrogant! Keeping a low profile won’t harm you!” Jing Yan narrowed his eyes and smiled as he looked at Deputy Commander Chu Zhen.

”Boy, what did you say?” Chu Zhen immediately stood up, glaring at Jing Yan.

”Chu Lianxing, you better discipline your son well, or I’ll discipline him for you!” Chu Zhen looked at Chu Lianxing again.
