Chapter 567: Shut Up!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Seeing Xu Que accidently get himself into trouble again, Liu Jingning frowned and looked at the stone quarry.

There were many cultivators coming from influential Families and Factions, most of them in the Original Infant Stage, while the six old men who were guarding the stone quarry were all in the Infant Transformation Stage, and most of them were from the Jiang family.

Meanwhile, these people were all staring at Xu Que and criticizing him.

Xu Que was wearing a rather indifferent look, a look that made Liu Jingning worried. The next minute, Liu Jingning quickly moved in front of Xu Que, trying to prevent Xu Que from getting himself into trouble again.

“Everyone, this is just a misunderstanding!” Liu Jingning’s voice echoed in the air.

People in the stone quarry immediately felt her powerful energy and realized Liu Jingning was in the Void Training Stage.

“The Void Training Stage?”

Everyone was shocked and quickly backed off.

A man who recognized Liu Jingning exclaimed, “My goodness! She’s the Saint of the Utmost Happiness Faction!”

“Why is she here?”

The old men of the Jiang Family frowned.

“I think she came with that young man!”

“She’s backing that young man up?”

...

In fact, the Utmost Happiness Faction’s reputation wasn’t as good here in the Eastern Continent. It was a rather big faction, but honestly speaking, it was an evil one.

An old man from the Jiang family walked out and said in a low voice, “I’m Jiang Tianhai. It’s really nice for you to pay us a visit! I’m wondering, why have you come here?”

The old man wasn’t very happy, but still, he didn’t dare to offend Liu Jingning.

Xu Que never knew Liu Jingning was so famous here in the Eastern Continent, and he immediately knew the so-called Saint of the Utmost Happiness Faction was a virtuous title simply by the sound of it.

Liu Jingning said, “Everyone, there’s really no need to be so nervous. We come with no bad intentions at all. This young man is just a friend of mine, and we happened to end up here. We were a bit curious earlier seeing you chipping the stone. We don’t mean to take anything away from you, you’ve misunderstood us.”

“Misunderstood?!”

Hearing this, several old men of the Jiang family were unhappy, and everyone else, including the stone-chipping man who had come from the Heaven Secret Pavilion, frowned.

One old man from the Jiang family walked forward and said in a low voice, “Saint Liu, if you call this a misunderstanding, does it mean that anyone else can take our things at his own will? If what happened today is heard by others, the reputation we established so far would be tarnished!”

Liu Jingning smiled. “I told you, this is simply a misunderstanding! This young man is still very inexperienced. Earlier, that thing came out from the stone and flew directly at him, so he caught it as anyone would in that situation. He didn’t mean to take it away from you!”

No one in the stone quarry made a sound.

In fact, there was a rule in the stone quarry, which was that no one should ever touch anything that came out of the stone, and anyone who did it would be considered a robber!

Normally, anyone who broke this rule would be punished, but after hearing Liu Jingning’s defense, the old men were hesitant.

After all, Liu Jingning was in the Void Training Stage and as the saint of the Utmost Happiness Faction, they knew that it wouldn’t do them any good to offend her.

An old man of the Jiang Family broke the silence with a low voice, “Well, I believe that what you said is true, this is indeed a mistake! But... this young man has still broken the rules. Please ask him to hand the object in his hand back to us and make an apology to the Jiang family, as well as the owner of the stone, otherwise, we cannot possibly let him go.”

Hearing this, the rest of people nodded, as did Liu Jingning.

In her view, what the old man had said was quite reasonable, and she didn’t want Xu Que to get himself into trouble again.

“Little Que Que, give it back to them and make an apology, there’s no need to make this business more serious than it should be,” Liu Jingning smiled at Xu Que.

“Give it back to them and make an apology?” Xu Que sneered, “Why I have to do that?”

Hearing this, Liu Jingning’s smile froze.

Oh man! He’s angry now!

Xu Que turned around and sneered at the people on the ground.

“Yes, I can give it back to you, but why should I make an apology?! Earlier, I was flying and it almost hit me, so don’t you think it’s you who should really make an apology to me?”

Everyone was shocked.

This young man is insane, far too arrogant!

Does he really want to make himself an enemy of the Jiang family?!

Liu Jingning hurriedly said, “Xu Que, calm down! If you hadn’t caught that thing, they couldn’t possibly have accused of you breaking their rules...”

“F*ck the rules!” Xu Que rolled his eyes. He glared at the several old men and sneered, “Let me tell you! I also have rules! You almost hurt me earlier, and if you don’t apologize to me, I won’t give it back to you!”

“How dare you!” the men said altogether.

Their faces were rather gloomy, and they were furious at Xu Que’s words. Clearly, Xu Que was challenging the authority of the Jiang family.

If we can’t sort this business out, once people from other families hear about this, the Jiang family will become a laughing stock, and we’ll surely be punished severely by the Jiang family!

“Saint Liu, is this how you call a ‘misunderstanding’?!”

“I know you come from the Utmost Happiness Faction, but even so, you couldn’t possibly humiliate us like this! Do you really think we’re all Mr. Soft?!”

“Let me tell you two, we aren’t done yet!” the old men said angrily.

Liu Jingning was terribly upset and said to Xu Que, “Xu Que, don’t talk to them that way! Now apologize to them!”

Hearing this, Xu Que instantly became furious.

I’ve never ever been treated so unfairly! F*ck the Jiang Family! I’m not afraid of them at all!

“Liu Jingning, shut up! This has nothing to do with you. I never want anything to do with the Utmost Happiness Faction!” Xu Que shouted.

The people present were stunned.

My goodness! How dare he talk to her like this?! She’s the saint of the Utmost Happiness Faction, a powerful woman in the Void Training Stage!

The saint of the Utmost Happiness Faction has always been a tough figure. How dare you, a young man in the Infant Transformation Stage, talk to her like that?!
