Liu Wen had only seen Jing Yan once during his time in Donglin City and had a brief encounter with him. To tell the truth, he didn't know Jing Yan's character well and only knew a little about him from the Donglin City Lord, Huo Chunyang.
So now, he couldn't determine whether Jing Yan was just talking nonsense, trying to bluff his way through; he was somewhat concerned.
Because the words Jing Yan spoke could likely escalate the situation. Previously, even though Xu Dong was persistent, if Liu Wen decided to protect both Jing Yan and Jing Qingzhu, the Vice President would not be able to harm them with the current excuse. But now, the situation was tricky. If Jing Yan was indeed bluffing to Vice President Xu Dong, it would be a grave mistake, so grave that even Liu Wen might not be able to protect Jing Yan fully unless he gave up competing for the President position of the Alchemist Association and compromised with Xu Dong.
Right!
