Chapter 18 - He is Just a Twenty-year-old Child!
Chapter 18 — He is Just a Twenty-year-old Child!
This?
Yang Chen was dumbfounded. He didn’t expect such a situation to arise.
To be honest, Yang Chen didn’t quite believe that Lin Yan would use his status as a stepson to extort wealth from someone. After all, Lin Yan was the Son of Destiny, with his own pride. The original work clearly described his character. Even if he were to directly kill and rob, he wouldn’t admit to being his stepson!
Heh heh.
But it didn’t matter.
Since the matter has come up, I, as the stepfather, should deal with it properly.
He should try to solidify the relationship between him and Lin Yan as stepfather and stepson.
“Yan’er, is what Li Junfeng said true?” Yang Chen asked in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yan’s gaze once again locked onto Yang Chen. There was a surge of killing intent in his eyes. How much he wanted to rush up and slap Yang Chen to death!
However, his master refused to intervene in this matter. And he himself did not have the strength.
Damn it! The damn bastard!
Lin Yan gritted his teeth.
Then he turned his head and glared fiercely at Li Junfeng.
This bastard is really good at twisting the truth. Clearly, he took the initiative to bribe me, wanting me to help him become a core disciple. Now, he’s turning the tables. Bastard. This Xuantian Sect is really rotten to the core. I will destroy this damn sect sooner or later.
Lin Yan wanted to explain.
But when he saw Yang Chen standing with his mother, taking on the role of an elder and talking to him in an inquiring manner. He was immediately furious.
Apart from cursing Yang Chen’s entire family, he didn’t want to say a word to Yang Chen. Moreover, Lin Yan felt that Li Junfeng was likely sent by Yang Chen to deliberately provoke him! Just to create such a scene.
To make him answer questions obediently as a stepson!
She had long been familiar with the rules of the Xuantian Sect. During this period of time, as the wife of the Holy Son, thinking about being the virtuous helper of her husband in the future, she long studied it.
While fighting among the nine major peaks was a serious offense, the punishment could be light or severe, and the sentencing was quite flexible. However, extorting wealth from fellow disciples was a serious crime. It seriously tarnished the sect’s reputation. It needed to be dealt with seriously.
Light punishment could lead to ten years of imprisonment!
Heavy punishment could lead to the destruction of cultivation and expulsion from the sect!
Thinking of the consequences, Lin Xilan quickly touched Yang Chen’s arm.
Yang Chen turned his head.
Seeing Lin Xilan’s hopeful and worried look, he comforted her: “Wife, rest assured, I know what to do!”
Yang Chen gently patted her soft hand. Signaling her to relax.
“Everyone, Yan’er is my stepson. He has made a mistake, and I, as the Holy Son, will naturally not cover for him! However, Yan’er has been stuck at the Fourth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm recently, so his temperament is a bit restless. He acted impulsively and made such a mistake! Let’s do this, Li Junfeng!”
Yang Chen looked at Li Junfeng, who was wiping away tears.
“Holy Son, I’m here!”
Li Junfeng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
Yang Chen looked at him, with a hint of a smile at the corner of his lips.
He could tell at a glance that Li Junfeng was pretending. This guy was definitely an old hand in the inner sect.
“Li Junfeng, it was wrong of Lin Yan to demand ten thousand spirit stones from you and even to attack you. As his stepfather, I apologize to you on behalf of Lin Yan! So, I will compensate you with thirty thousand spirit stones! Just consider it as you giving me face, and let’s not pursue this matter, okay?”
“What!?”
Upon hearing this, everyone widened their eyes.
The Holy Son, was trying to settle things with money! Isn’t this still covering for Lin Yan, his stepson?
“Holy Son, this is inappropriate! Issues regarding principles and rules cannot be compromised. No matter what the reason, Lin Yan cannot extort wealth from fellow disciples! By doing this, you are clearly covering up for him!” An elder stood up and spoke.
Yang Chen looked embarrassed: “Elder Zhao, can you consider this as giving me face? Just this once, it won’t happen again! If he commits such an offense again in the future, as his stepfather, I will definitely not spare him! Just this once! After all, he is just a twenty-year-old child!”
