Chapter 149
After Xiao Jingting and the others left the Ouyang family’s convoy, they went to find a place to settle down first. Not knowing if they were lucky or unlucky, they arrived in the Star City at the time when the Green Cloud Immortal Sect was selecting disciples which attracted more people to Star City all of a sudden. The places they could live in Star City were also much more expensive than before.
“Three pieces of top-grade spiritual jade a day for one person?” Xiao Jingting was filled with amazement.
The steward in charge of renting and selling the cave nodded as he said,”That’s right.”
Xiao Jingting stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiao Xiaofan’s head as he said,”For such a small and short kid?”
The steward nodded and said,”Of course, children are also human beings.”
“Are there any discounts?” Xiao Jingting asked. You know, children in his previous life would only be charged the half price.
“No. Dear guest, you brought your son here to participate in the test of the Green Cloud Immortal Sect. If your son succeeds in entering the Green Cloud Immortal Sect, will such a little accommodation fee matter for you?” The guard said.
Xiao Jingting,”…” Actually, he didn’t bring his son for the test, and he just wanted the boy to learn more about the world.
The guard looked at the little child held by Xu Muan and said,”By the way, the Green Cloud Immortal Sect only accepts children between four and eight years old. How can you bring such a small one here?”
Xiao Jingting,”…”
Xiao Jingting spent three hundred pieces of top grade spiritual jade renting a humble cave residence.
Although the cave residence was very humble, Xiao Jingting was still somewhat happy that the entrance of the cave residence had its own isolation array, which could block the detection of other people.
The rapidly shrinking wealth made Xiao Jingting feel a sense of crisis.
Xiao Jingting took Xiao Xiaofan’s hand and soon found several gambling stone shops in Star City.
“Son, it’s up to you if we can get rich in Star City.” Xiao Jingting patted Xiao Xiaofan’s shoulder with a serious look.
Xiao Xiaofan nodded and said,”Don’t worry, dad. If you can’t support our family anymore, I will help you. I am a good boy.”
Xiao Jingting,”… ” This boy! What did he mean by saying that he couldn’t support his family anymore?
Xiao Jingting took Xiao Xiaofan to several gambling stone stores in Star City. Xiao Xiaofan was very excited when he arrived at the stores and picked several stones in a row, but unfortunately, the original stones were too expensive so Xiao Jingting could only ask Xiao Xiaofan to find some cheap ones to buy.
Xiao Xiaofan reluctantly chose some cheaper ones.
Xiao Xiaofan’s eyesight was naturally was extraordinary, and there were spirit stones, spirit pearls and other rare objects in each stone.
“The quality of the stones in the Star City is much better than the ones outside!” After opening a few of these raw stones, Xiao Jingting exclaimed.
After opening these few stones, Xiao Jingting felt that he didn’t come here in vain.
Xu Muan nodded and said,”Surely. I heard that some of the original stones from the gambling stone stores in Star City were actually transported from the Green Cloud Immortal Sect Realm.”
“So that’s how it is! Anything that involves the Green Cloud Immortal Sect is always extraordinary.” Xiao Jingting said.
Xiao Jingting took the spirit stones that Xiao Xiaofan gambled out as his capital and brought Xiao Xiaofan to several other gambling stone stores in Star City, making a fortune.
In order to reward Xiao Xiaofan, Xiao Jingting took Xiao Xiaofan to a restaurant in Star City to have a good meal.
…
Xiao Jingting saw Xiao Xiaofan’s starving look and thought:‘My son is a fool but he is always lucky. With his ability to search for treasure, he could eat well and never die of hunger.’
Xiao Jingting was eating when a noise came from the stairs.
Xiao Jingting turned his head and saw the two sisters of the Ouyang family.
“Miss Ouyang?” Xiao Jingting was stunned for a moment. Since he last parted from two Ouyang family sisters, Xiao Jingting had been busy taking his son to ‘support the family’ and had rarely seen the people of the Ouyang family.
“Young Master Xiao, it looks like you’re doing well.” Ouyang Mingyue said.
The prices in Star City were high, and Xiao Jingting brought his sons and wife to a restaurant to eat and drink together. Ouyang Mingyue felt a little strange.
Xiao Jingting smiled and made an understatement,”Recently I had good luck and earned some money, so we came to have a meal and celebrate.”
Ouyang Jinyue was a little surprised,”Uncle Xiao, you can really make money!”
Xiao Jingting,”…”
Ouyang Jinyue smiled faintly and said,”Little Fatty, what have you been doing lately?”
“I’m making money to support my family.” Xiao Xiaofan said triumphantly.
Ouyang Jinyue said suspiciously,”You, make money to support your family? What nonsense!”
Xiao Xiaofan shook his head and said,”No nonsense, I’m serious.”
“If you make money to support your family, what would you need your father for?” Ouyang Jinyue said.
Xiao Jingting,”…”
Xiao Xiaofan glanced at Xiao Jingting and patted his chest saying,”Dad can’t afford to feed the family, so Xiaofan supports his family and father cooks the food.”
Xiao Jingting,”…” His son believed that he could do nothing for the family now.
Xiao Xiaodong took a steamed bun and stuffed it into Xiao Xiaofan’s mouth. Then he said “Eat quickly, eat quickly.”
“I heard that during this period of time, the selection has already started. How is the result of selection?” Xu Muan changed the subject.
Ouyang Mingyue smiled and said,”Not bad, Jinyue has been selected. The envoys of Green Cloud Immortal Sect are very pleased with Jinyue.”
“Congratulations, Miss Jinyue.” Xiao Jingting looked at Ouyang Jinyue.
Ouyang Mingyue smiled and felt very relieved in her heart. When Jinyue was selected, the Li City Lord residence finally felt at ease and family elders were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. However, being selected into the Green Cloud Immortal Sect was only the first step. She had heard that the competition within the Green Cloud Immortal Sect was very fierce.
“Little sister, when are you going to the Immortal Sect?” Xiao Xiaofan asked.
“I am getting ready. I still have ten days left before I will go.” Ouyang Jinyue said.
“There is just ten days before doing the ass, you are so pitiful.” Xiao Xiaofan was full of sympathy.
“It’s abstaining from eating!” Ouyang Jinyue was full of disgust.
Xiao Xiaofan nodded and said,”Well, I remember it’s abstaining from eating, little sister. Hurry up and eat quickly, you will have nothing more to eat in future.”
