Chapter 1326: Compensation (5)
“Shen Jing, we must have a talk,” Duan Yuan stared at Shen Jing and said.
Overwhelmed by the unexpected favor, Shen Jing looked at Duan Yuan. Didn’t this’ future father-in-law ‘dislike’ him? Why did he suddenly want to talk to him?
Shen Jing oddly felt horrified.
Two hours later, Shen Jing walked out of the dungeon in high spirits while Duan Yuan’s expression was extremely ugly.
Duan Yuan had given Shen Yanxiao numerous gems and crystal coins as compensation.
Crystal coins were from his own pockets, while the jewels…
Looking at Shen Jing who regained his freedom at the side, she naturally knew the source.
Shen Yanxiao perfunctorily counted the number of gems before keeping them in her interspatial ring. However, she immediately gave Vermilion Bird a look, and at the sight of it, he jumped out to state his terms again.
“Let’s forget about this for the time being. However, you have to issue an announcement and inform all the elves in Jadeite City that the Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe is innocent. We still have to sell these gems in the Moons.h.i.+ne Trading House. If this incident affects the business of the Moons.h.i.+ne Trading House, then we won’t be able to do any business here.”
Duan Yuan nodded readily. How could he have the strength to resist when he had lost all his money? He only thought of ending the matter as soon as possible so that he could hug his deflated wallet and cry for a while.
Duan Yuan promised to issue a notice the next morning to clear the name of the Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe.
Only then did Shen Yanxiao withdraw her troops and leave the mansion with the Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe elves and Shen Jing in tow.
“Thank you.” An older elf from the Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe looked at Shen Yanxiao gratefully. The last condition that the Vermilion Bird proposed was too precious for them.
The Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe was carrying too much infamy and right now, they were trying their best to wash away their humiliation. If they were to bear another crime, it would only make things worse.
“You’re welcome. This is all because of the trouble I’ve brought you, so naturally, it has to be resolved.” Shen Yanxiao nodded with a smile. Everything that happened today was part of her plan.
Vermilion Bird’s clamor, her persuasion, cleaning Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe’s reputation, the lost jewels and crystal coins… and to save Shen Jing, this dishonest uncle of hers.
Shen Yanxiao had already planned everything in her mind. The effect was merely the result of her planning.
Never in his wildest dreams would Duan Yuan expect that he would be thoroughly scammed by this little girl.
Not only did he not know of Shen Yanxiao’s plan, but he even had a high evaluation of her due to her ‘good temper’.
The ignorant are so fortunate!
“I wonder if the two of you are willing to come to our tribe and have a seat? We would also like to thank you.” A Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe elf proposed.
Shen Yanxiao did not refuse. She wanted to go there anyway.
Shen Yanxiao and Vermilion Bird accepted the Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe’s invitation. As for Shen Jing, an existence that was neglected by all elves, he came out in silence and said with a smile, “Then… can you count me in as well? I lost most of my belongings when I was detained. Please take me in for a day.”
The days of finally regaining freedom were wonderful, but he had mortgaged all the gems to Duan Yuan, so now he did not even have a single crystal coin on him. He was on the verge of starvation!
The Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe elves looked at Shen Jing with a complex expression. However, after hesitating for a moment, they still agreed to Shen Jing’s request.
