Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After a while.

When Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were getting impatient from waiting, Hong Wentao and the others finally arrived.

Shen Bohong and Shen Feiyan immediately told Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan everything that had happened.

When the two of them heard this, their eyes flickered.

Hong Wentao suddenly smiled at Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Shen, I’m really sorry. The Pure Treasure Pavilion was really busy just now, so we came a little late. I hope you don’t take offense.”

Hearing Hong Wentao’s words, a smile appeared on Jiang Chengxuan’s face. He nodded and said,

“That’s understandable, but…”

At this point, the smile on Jiang Chengxuan’s face suddenly disappeared. He turned to look at the cultivators behind the Pure Treasure Pavilion and said coldly,

“Those from the Blessed Immortal Restaurant and Knowledge Jade Pavillion, did you also run late because you were busy?”

The two shops that Jiang Chengxuan pointed out were a restaurant and a shop selling talismans and Dharma artifacts in the White Jade Market. They were considered Hong Wentao’s lackeys.

Now that they were suddenly called out by Jiang Chengxuan in public, the expressions of the shopkeeper of the Blessed Immortal Restaurant and the shopkeeper of the Knowledge Jade Pavilion immediately changed, and panic appeared on their faces.

They knew very well that Jiang Chengxua wouldn’t let this matter rest easily.

Iln the worst scenario, they might be punished as a warning to others.

A playful smile appeared on Jiang Chengxuan’s face.

It was true that he could not touch the Pure Treasure Pavilion for the time being, but punishing the other two shops was not a problem.

He knew very well that he and Shen Ruyan had completely offended Hong Wentao today.

If possible, he really wanted to make a move on Hong Wentao.

Unfortunately, the one behind the Pure Treasure Pavillion was too powerful.

Since that was the case, he might as well punish those lackeys.

“Senior Hong…”

The shopkeeper of Blessed Immortal Restaurant and the shopkeeper of Knowledge Jade Pavilion immediately looked to Hong Wentao for help.

Both of them looked a little pale.

Hong Wentao’s expression darkened.

He did not expect Jiang Chengxuan to do this.

A trace of killing intent flashed across his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. He turned to look at Jiang Chengxuan apologetically and said,

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, I’m really sorry. The shopkeeper of Blessed Immortal Restaurant and Knowledge Jade Pavilion were also helping me earlier, so they came with me a little late. Do you think we can let this matter go? I’ll definitely ask them to apologize to you later.”

These words sounded humble, but anyone present with a brain knew that they were fake.

Everyone looked at Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, wanting to see what they would do in the end.

Jiang Chengxuan clearly knew that the way he dealt with this matter was very important. If he did not handle it well, it might greatly damage the prestige of the Shen Immortal Family.

Therefore, at this moment, after receiving Hong Wentao’s apology, the cold expression on his face did not fade at all.

On the contrary, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a dangerous aura was spreading out.

“Fellow Daoist Hong, are you sure you’re not joking with me?

Do you think I don’t know what they were doing?

Or are you deliberately speaking up for them and going against the Shen Immortal Family?”

The last sentence finally made Hong Wentao unable to maintain his calmness. His face darkened.

“Jiang Chengxuan, are you sure you don’t want to give me face?”

Then, he turned to Shen Ruyan and said coldly,

“Fellow Daoist Shen, as the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, don’t you plan to discipline your husband?

If this continues, it’s very likely that he’ll bring calamity to your Shen Immortal Family.”

“Calamity? Brought by whom? You?”

A sneer appeared on the corner of Shen Ruyan’s mouth.

“Hong Wentao, aren’t you overestimating yourself?

Do you believe that even if I kill you here, the Hong family won’t do anything to us?”

“You…”

Hong Wentao’s face immediately turned ashen.

However, Shen Ruyan interrupted, “What my husband does is his own freedom. I won’t interfere, let alone stop him. Instead, I will support him unconditionally.

If I hear such provocative words like yours again in the future, I will cut off your tongue and feed it to the dogs.”

At this point, Shen Ruyan took a step back and stood behind Jiang Chengxuan.

Jiang Chengxuan looked at Hong Wentao, whose face was ashen, and couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

If only Hong Wentao couldn’t hold back his anger and attacked just now.

That way, he would have a legitimate reason to take him down.

On the contrary, the fact that Hong Wentao could stay calm made Jiang Chengxuan a little wary of him.

Enemies who couldn’t control their emotions weren’t scary. The scary ones were like Hong Wentao, who wouldn’t let anger get the better of themselves.

Such people must not be offended, but once you offended them, you had to try every way to kill them.

This was also Jiang Chengxuan’s usual way of doing things.

He tried his best to befriend others instead of making enemies.

However, once he confirmed that the other party was his enemy, he had to do everything he could to kill the other party and completely eliminate any possible threat.

However, for now, he could only target his lackeys.

Jiang Chengxuan ignored Hong Wentao and the cultivators from the Pure Treasure Pavilion present. Instead, he turned his gaze to the shopkeeper of the Blessed Immortal Restaurant and the shopkeeper of the Knowledge Jade Pavillion. His eyes immediately turned cold.

“It seems like the two of you have nothing else to say.

In the White Jade Market, you openly violated the rules. In that case, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Boom!

As soon as Jiang Chengxuan finished speaking, the two shopkeepers immediately knelt down and said with a terrified expression,

“Elder Jiang, please spare us! We didn’t mean it. We really didn’t mean it!”

Jiang Chengxuan glanced at Hong Wentao, who had completely restrained his anger. He thought to himself that the lackeys Hong Wentao had found were really tight-lipped and did not betray him.

They probably knew that if they did not betray him, they might have a way to get away with it. However, if they did, they would definitely be dead for sure.

Unfortunately, they had no clue how ruthless these large families were. Did they really think that they could survive just because they kept their mouths shut?

They were too naive.

At the thought of this, Jiang Chengxuan ignored the begging of these two people. He made a move and destroyed their cultivation on the spot in front of everyone. Then, he got someone to throw them out of the White Jade Market and confiscated all their businesses in the White Jade Market..
