Chapter 122
In this competition, the younger generation of the four major families lost many geniuses, causing the people of Desert City to sigh.
The news that Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng had advanced to the seventh level of Qi Practice caused another uproar in the Desert City.
Desert city was just a small city with few talents. Originally, Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng were not the most outstanding youths of Desert City, so them surpassing the early starters caused a lot of discussion in the streets.
Sun Qi listened to the discussions in the streets, with a sullen face. “Brother Zheng, do you think what they said is true?”
“The news is all over the place, so naturally it can’t be fake.” Zheng Liming said.
From the people Zheng family sent this time, only one came back alive. The people who entered the competition were too fierce and families that sent out geniuses like the Zheng family were almost wiped clean.
The Xiao family originally had the momentum of being the number one of the four big families due to the return of Xiao Linfeng and Wang Lu. Now with Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng who were rising stars, their position became even more secure.
Sun Qi shook his head and said, “I didn’t expect that Xiao Jingting would actually make it this far.”
No matter how you looked at it, it was like a joke. What kind of person was Xiao Jingting? Walking around the streets all day long, only knowing how to act foolishly and be coaxed by a few words. As a result, this guy became the rising star of the younger generation of Desert City and the model for the young people of Desert City.
Zheng Liming nodded and said, “Yes!” People always said that things were unpredictable, now he really learned his lesson.
“Xiao Muhong is dead and Miss Miaomiao has returned to the Sun family. Elder Sun was always famous for his brilliant judgement in personalities. All the husbands he chooses for his firstborn and concubine daughters are second to none. Unfortunately, this time he made a mistake.” Sun Qi shook his head.
If Sun Miaomiao married Xiao Jingting, how glorious would it be now?!
Unfortunately, Sun Miaomiao was married to Xiao Muhong, so after a while, the beautiful scenery took a turn for the worse.
Zheng Liming frowned. How long had it been?! The man who had flattered him openly and despised him behind his back had become an existence beyond his reach. He heard that Xiao Jingting got a lot of precious pills this time! It was a pity that Xiao Jingting gained so many benefits, but he couldn’t get anything good. If they were still friends…
Zheng Liming shook his head. The elders of his family had called him several times to ask him to go visit Xiao Jingting and get close to him. But now, how could Xiao Jingting be so easy to bond with?!
…………
Xiao family.
“Third brother is here, don’t you want to go out and see?” Zheng Pei’er asked Xiao Qingyan.
“What’s the big deal. Why would I need to go out and take a look?” Xiao Qingyan lazily said.
When Zheng Pei’er looked at Xiao Qingyan’s dispirited appearance, her heart choked up. After Xiao Qingyan came back, he turned a bit self-destructive. Zheng Pei’er would rather have Xiao Qingyan be as unbearable as before than to have Xiao Qingyan as he was now, without the slightest bit of fighting spirit.
Zheng Pei’er hesitated for a moment and said, “I heard that Xiao Jingting exchanged for two Ice Heart Pills this time.”
Xiao Qingyan had taken the pill so his body had developed resistance. However, if he had the Ice Heart Pill, he would be able to advance one level if he tried hard enough. Although cultivation at the sixth level of Qi Practice was not bad, it was still safer to have the seventh level of Qi Practice if he wanted to establish his footing in the family.
Xiao Qingyan gritted his teeth. Ever since he was a child, the best things in the family had always been provided to him. If it was in the past, he wouldn’t even need to open his mouth to ask for himself. His father would have already asked for the Ice Heart Pill from his third brother, but unfortunately, he heard no news from his father.
Both Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng had already advanced to the seventh level of Qi Practice, so what was the use of Xiao Jingting asking for two Ice Heart Pills? Xiao Qingyan originally thought that at least one of the two Ice Heart Pills was prepared for him, but there was no movement from Xiao Jingting’s side. Xiao Qingyan realized that he had thought too simply.
That pill might have simply been prepared for Xu Muan and Mu Shuyu. Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng were always together, so they might have totally forgotten their big brother.
Before the competition, he was so smug and didn’t care about his two younger brothers. But now it seemed like a joke.
………
“You’re leaving?” Wang Lu looked at Xiao Jingting, full of doubts.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes.”
“Why are you in such a hurry?” Wang Lu asked.
“Time waits for no one! This time when I went outside, I deeply realized the vastness of the world and wants to go out to explore it,” Xiao Jingting said.
Xiao Jingting profoundly understood why the higher the cultivation was, the more one wanted to go out. The outside world was too big, it was easy to sit at home and watch the world go by. It was certainly safer to practice in a down-to-earth manner, but if you wanted to soar in the sky, you needed to go out and look for the opportunities.
Xiao Linfeng looked at Xiao Jingting, sighted and said, “This, it’s up to you.”
In the barbaric continent, strength meant respect. In a family where the son’s cultivation exceeded his father’s, the son would often become more authoritative than his father. Although Xiao Jingting’s cultivation was still a little short of Xiao Linfeng’s, it was only one level away, thus Xiao Linfeng’s attitude towards Xiao Jingting had quietly changed.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Thank you, father.”
Xiao Linfeng shook his head and said, “Between father and son, what is there to thank for?”
A burst of crying reached Xiao Jingting’s ears.
“Who is crying?” Xiao Jingting frowned.
“Who else could it be? Your great aunt! Xiao Muhong died and Sun Miaomiao returned to Sun family. Your great aunt had no hope left and became crazy,” Wang Lu said.
Xiao Jingting took a deep breath. Back then when Xiao Linfeng and Wang Lu disappeared, Liu Xian became unbelievably arrogant, but as a result, she had now ended up in this situation.
Xiao Jingting packed up his things, returned the fields in his hands to Xiao father and mother and bid farewell to Xiao Jinfeng before he left.
Outside the city, Mu Shuyu shook his head and said, “Third brother is really quick and resolute, he just said he was leaving and he already left.”
Xiao Jinfeng smiled and said, “Third brother is not a frog in the well. Sooner or later, he will fly to the sky. When the third younger brother comes back, I am afraid his cultivation would have caught up with father’s.”
Mu Shuyu nodded and said, “I feel the same way.”
