Chapter 113
“Second brother, third brother, do you want to go out for a walk?” After dinner, Xiao Qingyan walked over and asked.
Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng looked at each other with some surprise, both seeing the same shock from each other’s eyes.
They didn’t know if Xiao Linfeng had a guilty conscience or what, but after knowing that his two youngest sons were both at the sixth level of qi practice, he gave them each 100,000 taels of silver, which made Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng much richer.
“Allright.” Xiao Jinfeng nodded.
Although Xiao Jinfeng had some prejudice against Xiao Qingyan in his heart, he was still his brother after all. They shared the same blood, so Xiao Jinfeng didn’t want to refuse him.
“Fine!” Xiao Jingting nodded. The Marquis’ realm was so prosperous, so he also wanted to go out and have a look.
“Let’s go.” Xiao Qingyan said with a smile.
Xiao Qingyan smiled and went out with Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng.
“Jingting, that spirit bead, you traded it for only two Harvest Sparrow Orchids.” Xiao Qingyan couldn’t help asking.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes! It was already not easy to trade two Harvest Sparrow Orchids with only one Spirit Bead.”
In fact, the Spirit Bead helped a lot. With its help, not only the quality of the Spiritual Spring had changed dramatically but also many other spirit plants by the Spiritual Spring had emerged one after another.
Xiao Qingyan didn’t have a good temper. “One can tell that you’re an amateur. Third brother, the Spirit Bead is an existence that can help a person at the seventh level of Qi Practice advance to the eighth level of Qi practice. Using it to exchange for two Harvest Sparrow Orchids is simply like throwing away watermelons and picking up some sesame seeds.” If he took Spirit Bead to the Academy himself, he would definitely be able to exchange it for quite a few good things! What a pity! Xiao Jingting, this shallow-eyed thing, had actually traded out such a precious thing.
These two younger brothers of his were really lucky recently! They ran into so many good things, how come he didn’t have their luck?
“It has already been exchanged so there is nothing I can do,” Xiao Jingting calmly said.
Xiao Qingyan was enraged by Xiao Jingting’s calm and relaxed appearance.
…………
The three of them chatted as they walked into a large merchant shop. It was around the time of the big competition, so there were many youngsters like them who came treasure hunting.
The shop had talismans and magic tools that were very popular.
Xiao Jingting took a look. The prices of magic tools and talismans were similar to those of the large merchant houses in Desert City, but they had a greater variety of styles.
People came and went from the shop, some who knew Xiao Qingyan came up to say hello. Many of the students of Bifeng Academy would participate in this competition, so Xiao Qingyan met many acquaintances.
“Student Qingyan, you are here too!” A young man dressed in white came up to them.
Xiao Qingyan nodded and said, “Yes! I am going to participate in the competition with my brothers.”
“Your brothers came here to compete?! Will they be able to stay alive?” The tone of the young man dressed in white was very rude.
Xiao Jingting was embarrassed. The white-clothed teenager’s cultivation was only at the fifth level of Qi Practice, one level below him. However, this guy was worried about whether he and Xiao Jinfeng would live or not. Xiao Jingting looked at the young man’s face and guessed that it was probably because Xiao Qingyan had spared no efforts to slander him and Xiao Jinfeng in front of this guy. Making this young man seems so dismissive.
“Who knows?” Xiao Jingting said lightly.
The woman next to the white-clothed teenager, who knew roughly what was going on, sized up Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng before leaning to mutter a few words into the young man’s ear.
The white-clothed teenager’s gaze shifted to Xiao Jingting, his eyes contracted sharply. “You… are at the sixth level of Qi Practice.”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes!”
The white-clothed teenager’s face twisted for a moment as he looked oddly at Xiao Qingyan before turning around and walking away, full of shame and indignation.
Xiao Jingting looked at the leaving teenager and thought: The youth at the age of being foolish and proud, couldn’t afford to be hurt!
…………
“Brother Mo, thank you so much.” A good-looking woman, full of affection, addressed the person beside her.
“It’s nothing, the competition is around the corner. How could you do without a self-defense magic weapon, Senior Sister?”
“Senior brother is so good to me.”
“If I am not good to you, who can I be good to?”
“Senior brother is so powerful that he will definitely win the top ten rank and Ice Heart Pill in the competition. I have no doubt that senior brother could even win the top three.” Ouyang Jing complimented.
“This competition is full of geniuses. There are quite a few seventh level Qi Practitioners who have the same level as this senior brother. Senior sister is too hasty to say that.” What Mo Bei said might be modest but there was some pride in his eyes.
……
When Xiao Qingyan heard the voices of these two people, his expression suddenly became distorted.
Xiao Jinfeng glanced at Xiao Qingyan’s face and looked towards the woman who just came down from upstairs.
Xiao Jingting looked at Xiao Qingyan’s sullen face somewhat strangely, and Xiao Jinfeng signaled with his eyes, mouthing Ouyang Jing to Xiao Jingting.
Xiao Jingting instantly understood the reason for Xiao Qingyan’s abnormal behavior.
This girl, Ouyang Jing, had an affair with Xiao Qingyan before! It was just that later, when something happened to the Xiao family, this girl and Xiao Qingyan naturally separated.
Ouyang Jing was talking and laughing with Mo Bei at first, but when she saw Xiao Qingyan, she suddenly stopped.
Mo Bei looked in the direction of Xiao Qingyan, his eyes filled with contempt. “Isn’t this Brother Qingyan? It has been a long time since we met last time.”
Xiao Qingyan’s face tensed as he said indifferently, “Long time no see.”
“Student Qingyan, you’re here for this competition too! Younger martial brother Qingyan, you advanced to sixth level of Qi Practice by relying on a pill, which makes it more unsteady compared to others. You must be careful during the competition!” Mo Bei patted Xiao Qingyan’s shoulder with great emphasis.
Xiao Qingyan’s face suddenly became red as he tried to suppress the shame and anger in his heart and said, “I’m grateful for the senior’s advice.”
“Are these two your brothers?” Mo Bei asked.
Xiao Qingyan nodded and said, “Yes!”
“Qingyan, come on! Don’t let your brothers catch up and lose the reputation of our academy.” Mo Bei said. Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng hid their cultivation level so Mo Bei only thought that they were at the fifth level of Qi Practice, so he told Xiao Qingyan to do so.
Xiao Qingyan who listened to Mo Bei’s words was so ashamed that he wanted to faint.
Xiao Jingting looked at Xiao Qingyan’s face and secretly gave Xiao Qingyan a tear of sympathy, but, at most, that was all.
