Chapter 1326 – Compensation (5)
“Shen Jing, we must talk about something.” Duan Yuan stared at Shen Jing and said.
Shen Jing was quite flattered and honored as he looked at Duan Yuan. Wasn’t this “future father-in-law” of his
always viewing him as someone unpleasing to the eyes? Why did he want to talk to him so suddenly?
Shen Jing felt quite horrified.
Two hours later, Shen Jing came out of the dungeon with a refreshed aura, on his side was Duan Yuan who had a
very unsightly expression on his face.
Duan Yuan’s compensation for Shen Yanxiao’s gemstones and crystal coins should be given in the same exact
amount.
The crystal coins came from his own pockets, while the gemstones…
Just by looking at Shen Jing who was standing on the side after regaining his freedom, one would naturally know
the mystery.
Shen Yanxiao perfunctorily spoke out a number of gemstones, and then put the things inside her storage ring after
receiving them. At the same time, she also quickly gave Vermillion Bird a meaningful glance, after which
Vermillion Bird jumped out again to raise another condition.
“Then we’ll let this matter pass with this for now. However, you have to issue a notice to tell all the elves in the
Jadeite City that the Moonshine Tribe is not guilty. We still have to sell these gems in the Moonshine Trading House
after all. If such a thing affects the business of the Moonshine Trading House, the money you have given will not be
counted.”
Duan Yuan nodded very readily. Anyway, he had already fallen into a pit, losing both blood and money, where could
he still get the strength to resist? He only wanted to finish the matter early, so that he could go to hug his own purse
and cry for a while.
Duan Yuan promised that he would issue a notice first thing tomorrow morning, announcing that Moonshine Tribe
was innocent.
Only then did Shen Yanxiao call it a day. She then returned in a rewarding journey with the elves of the Moonshine
Tribe. Shen Jing also left from the City Lord Residence with them.
“Thank you.” The slightly older elf of the Moonshine Tribe looked gratefully at Shen Yanxiao, for the last condition
that Vermillion Bird mentioned was too precious for them.
The Moonshine Tribe had already carried too many blackened names, and was still trying hard to wash away the
humiliation suffered until now. If they were to shoulder another accusation, they would be in an even worse
situation.
“Don’t mention it, this is after all the trouble I have brought you. Naturally, it is necessary to completely get rid of
it.” Shen Yanxiao nodded with a smile. Everything that happened today was all in her plan.
Vermillion Bird’s clamoring, her afterward mediation, washing off the crime of the Moonshine Tribe elves, the
disappearance of the gemstones and crystal coins… and rescuing Shen Jing, this dishonest Third Uncle of hers.
Shen Yanxiao had already planned everything beforehand in her heart. The outcome today was no more than the
result of her overall plan.
Duan Yuan would never think even in his dreams that the reason he had fallen into a pit and ended with cuts and
bruises all over was such a little fellow.
Not only would he never know that everything was planned by Shen Yanxiao, instead, he would even always hold a
high evaluation of Shen Yanxiao due to her “good temper”.
The ignorant one was truly the happy one! !
“I wonder if the two of you are willing to stay in our tribe for a visit? We would like to express our gratitude.” One
of the Moonshine Tribe elves proposed.
Shen Yanxiao did not decline; she had been wanting to go to their tribe.
Shen Yanxiao and Vermillion Bird accepted the invitation of the Moonshine Tribe elves. Meanwhile, Shen Jing,
whose existence had been ignored by all the elves, came out silently and laughingly said, “What? Can you count me
in? I lost everything I had when I was locked up; I also want to stay for a day.”
Regaining the days of freedom was indeed wonderful, but he pledged all the gemstones in his possession to Duan
Yuan in exchange. Right now, there was not a single crystal coin on his body. This rhythm would lead him to starve
to death!
The Moonshine Tribe elves looked at Shen Jing; the expressions in their eyes were a bit tangled, but after hesitating
for a moment, they also agreed to Shen Jing’s request.
