The Sword God of the Universe - Chapter 59

Chapter 59: Are You People Blind?

The Tianqing Fruit was a Second-grade spirit herb which warriors could eat directly or have made into potions by potion makers.

The fruit was known to boost the Vital Qi of High-ranking warriors. Furthermore, Vital Qi that was enhanced through the use of the Tianqing Fruit was milder, and it felt more comfortable than absorbing Vital Qi through Spiritual Stones.

Because of that, the prices of such fruits were rather high. One fruit would cost about 300 Spiritual Stones.

At that price, the fruit wasn’t an item that most High-ranking warriors could afford.

“Jing Yan?”

Jing Mingzhu caught sight of Jing Yan when he turned around, and she shuddered slightly at the sight of him.

In a moment, her previously happy expression became rather glum.

She had deliberately gotten close to Jing Yan in the past, and her main objective for doing so was simply to get cultivation resources from the number one genius of the Jing Clan.

She began distancing herself from Jing Yan once he fell from grace. Because Jing Yan was no longer of use to her, she didn’t want to waste her time.

If Jing Yan had still been at the Third Heaven, she would have pretended not to have even seen him if she ran into him. However, the entire city was filled with rumors about Jing Yan right then.

Jing Mingzhu had heard of the news saying he beat Li Tianfu in the Extreme Combat Association.

When she saw him again, she felt a lot of conflicting emotions. If she had known when Jing Yan fell that he would one day recover his power, she probably wouldn’t have treated him so coldly.

However, if she were to get chummy with him at the moment, it would make the scene very embarrassing.

But then again, she didn’t even realize that Jing Yan wouldn’t have let her do so anyway.

Lin Ya saw Jing Yan as well, and his expression turned cold.

“No problem, Mingzhu, I did promise to buy you Tianqing Fruit, and I’m a man of my word. Come on, let’s head into the House of the Precious. I’ll buy you at least three fruits,” Lin Ya said in a haughty manner.

He had even emphasized the part where he said he was about to buy her three, as if he was afraid that Jing Yan might not have heard him.

Three Tianqing Fruit would have cost about 1000 Spiritual Stones.

“I, Lin Ya, am just as extravagant as I look,” he seemed to be saying. “My girl says she wants Tianqing Fruits, and I’m gonna make sure she gets them.”

Jing Mingzhu blushed a little when she heard what Lin Ya said and continued, “That’s so nice of you.”

Jing Yan simply smirked. He saw no need to bother himself with those two.

“Hey, isn’t this Young Master Jing? So, you’re here to make purchases as well, I take it?” Lin Ya asked in an exaggerated manner, acting as if he had only just seen Jing Yan.

Lin Ya was quite a genius himself, and he resented Jing Yan. He had lived under Jing Yan’s shadow for a long time.

“Yeah, I am.” Jing Yan nodded plainly.

“Heh… well, Young Master Jing here is someone important after all. If you see anything you like and don’t have enough Spiritual Stones to pay for it, tell me and I’ll help you the best I can.” Lin Ya chuckled scathingly and pulled Jing Mingzhu’s hand, walking toward the shop as if he owned the place.

“Please present your VIP Pass.” The guards of the House of the Precious were still being diligent with their duties.

“D*mn you people, can’t you recognize me?” Lin Ya’s face turned gloomy as he berated the guards.

However, he fished out a blue card from the inside of his shirt. He knew that was just how the rules of the shop worked.

Jing Mingzhu then glanced at Jing Yan at the moment.

“Jing Yan, come with us if you don’t have a VIP Pass.” Jing Mingzhu seemed to be showing off her influence, and at the same time, gauging Jing Yan’s attitude toward her.

Jing Yan shot a flat look at Jing Mingzhu and didn’t bother saying anything.

A tinge of anger flashed in her eyes when she saw that Jing Yan didn’t even bother to acknowledge her. She snorted lightly at him.

Jing Yan began walking to the door of the House of the Precious.

One step, two steps.

Jing Yan walked straight into the shop, just like that.

“What?”

Jing Mingzhu and Lin Ya were rather stunned when they saw Jing Yan just walk into the place unimpeded.

What the hell was happening?

How could Jing Yan just walk right in like that?

Even if he had a VIP Pass, he should have shown it, no?

“My gosh, are you two b*stards blind? Someone just walked straight in, and you’re just going to let him?” Lin Ya demanded angrily.

“Didn’t you two just see someone walk right into the place?” Lin Ya glared at the guards as well.

“We saw. It was Mr. Jing Yan,” one of the guards in black answered in a deadpan manner.

He responded as if Lin Ya was asking a dumb question.

There was no way they wouldn’t have seen Jing Yan walking into the shop.

“So you b*stards saw him walk right in, and you just let him? What do you two mean by that? So I need to show my pass and that guy doesn’t?” Lin Ya felt as if his face was being dragged through the mud, and he let his frustration out without a second thought.

In a different situation, it wouldn’t have bothered him that much.

However, this had happened right in front of Jing Mingzhu, his woman. There was no way he could just let himself be insulted like that.

“Apologies, but Mr. Jing Yan doesn’t need to present a VIP Pass,” a guard said, shooting a look at Lin Ya.

Those two guards were the two who had stood in Jing Yan’s way when he came to buy his Nine Yin Fruit.

What happened that day would stay in their memories for good.

Even the manager of the First Tower, Qin Yu, had stood up for Jing Yan.

The two of them were scolded harshly by the manager of the House of the Precious after Jing Yan left, and they almost lost their jobs for what happened. The manager of the House of the Precious then made it very clear to them that Jing Yan no longer needed to show a VIP Pass if he came again.

The manager took that stance not only because Jing Yan had purchased 55,000 Spiritual Stones’ worth of Nine Yin Fruit, but also because he had defeated Li Tianfu in the Extreme Combat Association.

The manager of the House of the Precious knew what such feats indicated.

Those two guards dared not ask Jing Yan to show his VIP Pass after having gone through all that.

“Godd*mnit! Sh*t!”

Lin Ya was feeling extremely pissed by then. He cursed repeatedly as he pulled Jing Mingzhu inside. His expression remained vexed.

Jing Mingzhu sported a very glum expression as well. She was puzzled as to why Jing Yan had been afforded such privileges, allowing him to enter a place like the House of the Precious as he pleased. According to her knowledge, even the Patriarchs of lesser clans would have needed to present their VIP Passes before being permitted entry.

She had no idea what had allowed Jing Yan to do what he just did.

“Mr. Jing Yan!”

Several receptionists locked their gazes on him as soon as he entered, and their eyes glittered.

They walked straight up to him after saying his name.

They had missed a great opportunity back when Jing Yan had been there to buy the Nine Yin Fruit. Jing Yan was like a god of wealth to them at that moment, and while he was around, they would be as friendly and helpful as humanly possible.

If they hadn’t thought Jing Yan to be a pauper, Su Zixuan wouldn’t have been the one to earn that commission of more than 1500 Spiritual Stones.
