Chapter 7 (1/2)

Next to the Jing mansion lies a market, the market is called West Market, and is controlled by the Jings. It is basically the Jings’ entire fortune.

East City has a total of 4 market, East, West, South and North Market. The 4 markets are controlled by 4 different clans, these 4 clans are nicknamed East City’s 4 great clans, and The Jing Clan is one of the 4 great clan.

Jing Yan left the Jing Mansion, hurriedly went to the market, and tried not to draw attention. Whats more, with the numerous martial artists in the market, even Jing clansmen wouldn’t be able to immediately recognize Jing Yan.

“Glory Weapons Store!”

Jing Yan stopped at a weapons store, the name might be filled with power, but in the market , it was just a small, c.r.a.ppy, and a virtually unnoticeable weapons store. What’s more, the store is located in a remote area, so very few martial artist would actually come.

The weapon store’s business was also unwell, this was easily seen by Jing Yan when he noticed that not a single customer was there.

Behind the counter stood a middle age man with a think beard and a strong body.

“Uncle ChenXing!”

Jing Yan smiled and greeted the middle aged man behind the counter.

Of course, Jing Yan know this man. In fact, Jing Yan is very familiar with him.

This middle aged man was named Jing ChenXing and is also a Jing clan member. Jing Yan remembered when he was little, Jing ChenXing would always hug him. Jing Yan’s memory of his father mostly came from the mouth of Jing ChenXing. According to Jing ChenXing, he and Jing Yan’s dad’s relations.h.i.+p was very good.

Jing Yan’s memory of his father was very blurry, afterall when Jing Yan was young, his father mysteriously disappeared. The whole clan spent a long time investigating, but at last no one found a single trace of his father. After the disappearance of his father, Jing Yan was basically taken care of by Jing ChenXing.

Jing ChenXing was also a talented martial artist, but several years ago, Jing ChenXing suffered a bad injury.He managed to survive but lost his leg.

From then on, Jing ChenXing opened a weapon store, and became a black smith.

“Jing Yan, what bring you here?” Jing ChenXing looked at Jing Yan with a warm smile and eyes filled with joy.

Seeing Jing ChenXing’s expression, Jing Yan can’t help but hold a bitter smile. Because back then, his talent was recognized, he became the s.h.i.+ning star, numerous people surrounded him. However, that resulted him forgetting about his uncle ChenXing.

Now that he thought about it, Jing Yan felt like a sc.u.mbag.

With a soft sigh, Jing Yan’s eyes s.h.i.+fted started to get moist.

“Brat, hurry and let your uncle see how much you’ve grown.” Jing ChenXing walked out the counter with crutches.

Jing ChenXing also knew about Jing Yan’s dropping cultivation. From a former genius to absolute trash, but his att.i.tude towards Jing Yan didn’t change the slightest.

“Uncle ChenXing, is your business unwell?” Jing Yan walked towards Jing ChenXing.

“Ha, ha, it’s indeed not going great, but I still make enough to have a decent living. Besides if my business was good, then I won’t be able to come over here and greet you.” Jing ChenXing waved it off.

“Jing Yan, did you come here for something? Right you need spirit stones to cultivate. Wait a second, I’ll grab some.” Jing ChenXing said and headed towards the counter.
