Chen Jingcai immediately recognized that those people were wearing the disciple robes of the Spirit Sword Sect, and immediately ordered the Chen family members to stop fighting.
He scrutinized the person in front of him, cursing inwardly.
This person was actually from the Spirit Sword Sect, and he didn't even say a word.
If they had known earlier, they would never have clashed with him.
Shen Qing led a group of Lingjian Sect disciples over, and one of them stepped forward to help Ning Yi.
Are you alright?
Ning Yi forcefully suppressed the metallic taste that was about to rise in his throat and shook his head at him.
"It's alright."
The man didn't take Ning Yi's words seriously.
After all, their Spirit Sword Sect was a poor sect. As long as it wasn't fatal, they considered it a minor injury, and minor injuries were usually just something they would endure.
When Chen Jincai saw how polite the people from the Spirit Sword Sect were to Ning Yi, his expression immediately changed.
"Senior Brother Shen, is this a disciple of your Spirit Sword Sect? If only I had known earlier..."
Before Chen Jingcai could finish speaking, he was slapped by Shen Qing.
"He is not."
Shen Qing was not a talkative person to begin with, and Chen Jin was completely dumbfounded, not knowing what kind of disciple he was.
He was wondering why someone who wasn't a disciple of their Spirit Sword Sect would interfere.
Just as he was about to take a breath and ask a question, he heard Shen Qing speak again.
"They are distinguished guests."
Chen Jin finally understood that this person was not a disciple of their sect, but a distinguished guest.
Chen Jingcai's face turned even greener. If even the Spirit Sword Sect had to respect someone like him, what kind of power must he possess?
Suddenly, a possibility occurred to Chen Jingcai, and his face turned deathly pale.
Could this be someone from above?
If that's the case, then if the Chen family has offended someone like that, is there any point in their existence?
Chen Jingcai was already covered in cold sweat, and he gritted his teeth and said.
"What happened just now was an impolite act by our Chen family. Please forgive us, esteemed guest. Our Chen family is willing to compensate you with three high-grade magic artifacts."
Ning Yi hadn't expected things to take such a turn, but he was now clear about the Chen family's status in the cultivation world.
Chen Jiaojiao was initially a little unconvinced, but when she looked at the senior brother of the Spirit Sword Sect, her eyes were fixed on him.
With her cheeks flushed and her eyes sparkling with infatuation, she naturally agreed to whatever her brother said.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qing immediately reached out his hand. The Spirit Sword Sect was used to being poor, and when they heard that someone wanted to give them something, they instinctively reached out to accept it.
After confirming that the three magical artifacts were indeed of superior quality, he turned around and handed them to Ning Yi.
"Junior Brother Ning, please accept this."
Ning Yi hadn't expected this unexpected surprise, but after looking at the three items, he could only say that he had mixed feelings.
He had assumed their so-called superior magical artifacts would be of high quality, but the moment he picked them up, he realized they were inferior to even the toys that Sister Lin, a mere toddler, used to play with her dog.
However, seeing the pained expressions on the faces of the Chen family members, it seemed that they must have considered it a valuable item, and they accepted it out of respect for Shen Qing.
When Chen Jincai saw that Ning Yi had accepted the gifts, he knew that today's matter was considered settled.
Not daring to linger, he picked up his companion's body from the ground, grabbed his younger sister, and headed in another direction.
Chen Jiaojiao's eyes were fixed on Shen Qing. She even asked if she could travel with the people from the Spirit Sword Sect, but Chen Jincai covered her mouth and took her away.
He knew his younger sister better than anyone; she was the most willful and capricious.
He knew perfectly well what had just happened; it was her sister who had made things difficult for them. But so what? In this world, the law of the jungle prevails.
He thought that the man was just an ordinary rogue cultivator, and that it wouldn't matter if he stole his things.
Little did they expect to encounter such a tough opponent. Not only did they fail to seize the goods, but they also lost their junior brother's life.
In the end, we still have to compensate them.
But if this is something that can't be helped, compared to the Spirit Sword Sect, their Chen family is like an ant trying to shake a tree—overestimating their own strength.
If you want people not to pursue the matter afterward and not to involve your family, you have to know when to back down.
Chen Jiaojiao was dragged a long way by her brother, and she still looked indignant.
"Brother, why are you dragging me along? Can't we go with the senior brothers from the Spirit Sword Sect?"
Chen Jin rolled his eyes at her.
"You want to go with Shen Qing, don't you? Haven't you even looked at him properly? Stop daydreaming."
Chen Jiaojiao stomped her foot indignantly, "How can you talk about your own sister like that? Besides, I'm only doing this for the good of the family, aren't I?"
Chen Jingcai didn't believe her nonsense and pulled her along as they continued on their way. He dared not let her run around in this secret realm any longer.
If they happen to provoke someone they shouldn't, the Chen family doesn't have enough high-grade magic artifacts to compensate them.
Once the Chen family members had all disappeared, Ning Yi took out a pill from his spatial ring and swallowed it.
The strong medicinal aroma immediately attracted the attention of the Lingjian Sect disciples.
"Junior Brother Ning, is this a top-grade pill?"
Although they were poor, they were not unfamiliar with good things, so it was not surprising that they recognized it at a glance.
Ning Yi stuffed the bottle of Guiyuan Pills, which he had only taken one of, into the hand of the senior brother who had asked the question.
"My sister gave it to me, so I'm giving it to you."
The senior brother's hands were trembling as he held the Rejuvenation Pill. This was a Rejuvenation Pill, and a top-grade one at that. There was a whole bottle of it, and he was just giving it away like that?
That's a bit too extravagant, isn't it?
The senior brother holding the pill looked incredulous.
Turning to look at his senior brother, he saw that his senior brother had a serious expression on his face.
"Return it to Junior Brother Ning. You can't accept something you haven't done right?"
