Chapter 397: Visiting Jia Yijie
After leaving the patriarch's mountain, Tang Yin sent Ding Yun to another place and walked through the long courtyards of the Central Sect.
The Central Sect is no different from the Inner Sect in terms of construction. It's just that the courtyards are several times larger, and the spiritual energy here is even more concentrated.
In addition, the spiritual river crossed this place, and the central disciples, from time to time, could bathe in it.
They enjoyed many privileges here. Pills, cultivation techniques, spiritual baths, all these and more were at hand, ready for use at any time.
Even so, there were not many central disciples, so no people were walking around this place, but it was a beautiful place.
Tang Yin walked leisurely on the side of the spiritual river while gazing at the beautiful scenery. It went without saying, but he didn't expect this place to be so beautiful.
Spirit herbs were growing from side to side, and there were even spirit fish in the river that were constantly jumping.
'They look delicious...' Tang Yin thought after seeing them, but he just kept walking.
Towards the place where the 5 Greatest Courtyards of this place were.
The 5 Kings were there.
During these past few days, all of them were silent, as their greatest backer had been arrested.
Elder Ding had fallen, and Shi Yue's appearance left them stunned by his immense power.
Therefore, lately, they simply behaved like little central disciples, not showing themselves much.
'They may live in such good places and be treated this way, but they still have ideas against the sect. Certainly, the ungrateful one does not learn by words.' Tang Yin thought, and at that moment, he finally arrived at the 5 greatest courtyards.
Each one had the name 'King' on the entrance, which meant that this place was where the Sect Kings, the most powerful disciples currently resided.
This place was silent, and only the sound of Tang Yin's footsteps could be heard lightly around the area until Tang Yin arrived at the courtyard he was looking for.
From the entrance, it could be seen that this courtyard did not belong to a man, for the decorations they had and the scent it gave off belonged to a woman.
Therefore, he smiled and entered, but just then, a voice reached his ears.
"Little Sister Jia, do you want to go hunting? Lately, I need to clear my mind and that's why I came to look for you." Ding Chun said as he spoke to a beautiful woman who was elegantly watering the flowers in the garden.
Jia Yijie smiled at this but shook her head without stopping what she was doing.
"Big Brother, to clear your mind you don't need to go out hunting. Just say your true intentions why you came, and I'll listen to you." She said calmly, and Ding Chun then sighed.
"My family wants to see you." He said without hiding anything from her, and Jia Yijie nodded.
"Things are better when spoken face to face, you see?" she replied, and he nodded at her.
"So, are you coming?" He asked, but Jia Yijie sighed.
"The Ding Family is in big trouble right now and I'm not against helping you, since you have helped me in the past, even if your intentions were otherwise." Jia Yijie said and then looked at him.
"Therefore, tell me your intentions and those of your family. Then I will consider helping you. Just by saying that, I won't risk going to a place that doesn't suit me." She replied, putting Ding Chun on the spot.
Still, he nodded.
"I want you to marry me. My family wants it too, so they are inviting you to hear your answer." He said firmly.
Jia Yijie frowned for a moment but then relaxed.
"Since when did you change from a Wu to a Jia?" she asked mockingly, and Ding Chun's face tightened when he heard this.
Still, as he prepared to speak, Jia Yijie spoke up.
"Marrying a Ding, eh... Certainly, they have a good status, even if Elder Ding is no longer there.
But you are the one who knows the most about my fame and on many occasions, you said among your friends, that you only saw me as just another opportunist that you gained benefits from for your own sake." She said and glared at him, "Do you still think I would agree to marry someone who speaks ill of me, behind my back?" she asked smiling.
Ding Chun frowned as he heard this and then realized that many of the things he had said in secret didn't seem to be a secret to her.
This bothered him a little, and he began to think about who the hell it was that had betrayed him like that.
Jia Yijie smiled at seeing him like that and started walking the other way.
"Big Brother Ding, my answer is simple. I will not oppose Young Master Tang Yin. Tell your family that even if they give me all the wealth they have, I would not. As you know, I am an opportunist. I want to reap tangible benefits from every action I take and opposing a person of such status does me no good to reap benefits.
Good luck finding what you want." She said smiling as she started to walk inside her house.
Ding Chun frowned as he heard this, but he couldn't help but be annoyed.
"Bitch, I still have your secret, do you think I can't make you!?" he shouted angrily, causing Jia Yijie to stop in her tracks after hearing this.
It was at that moment that Tang Yin, who had been watching this exchange of words from the side, came up behind Ding Chun and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Little Disciple, you would do well not to meddle where it does not suit you. Life is short." Tang Yin said, glaring at him.
Ding Chun was scared to death as soon as he saw him and jumped aside, "Tang Yin!" he shouted in surprise.
'How the hell did he get behind me without me noticing?' He thought in shock.
His shout caused Jia Yijie to quickly turn around and feel stunned as soon as she saw Tang Yin standing there.
Tang Yin didn't see her though, and simply looked at Ding Chun.
"Elder Ding was released, he's waiting for you in your courtyard. Good luck." He said, surprising Ding Chun again.
Still, he just threw a snort with his mouth and said nothing of what he wanted to say.
He turned around and walked away. At this moment, there was nothing he could do against a Tang Yin who had Legendary Shi Yue as his backup. Therefore, he walked away, leaving Tang Yin and Jia Yijie alone.
She looked at him for a moment and after a few small thoughts, she smiled.
"I didn't expect the Grand Young Master and Heir of the Northwest to visit me personally." She spoke.
Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders.
"I didn't want to visit you either, but I need a favor. I'll pay you back in spades." Tang Yin said.
***
Hello, in the past chapters I made a mistake calling Elder Ding (Ding Yun) by the name 'Ding Chun'. So I already corrected them. The one who became Tang Yin's slave is Ding Yun (Elder Ding, Spiritual Supreme), the father of Ding Chun (Disciple 'King' Spiritual Saint).
Sorry for the mistakes.
