Chapter 199
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Chen Xu, deliberated for a moment and said, “Young Master Chen, I heard that you have an old ancestor at the Nascent Soul realm. Maybe if you talk to the people of Devil Blood Sect, they will let you go. But I can’t say it for sure.”
Chen Xu shook his head and said, “No, if I reveal my identity, the Devil Blood Sect will only kill me to avoid news from leaking out.”
Xiao Xiaodong nodded secretly and thought: This guy is not stupid! If he was stupid, I would be afraid to have saved a retarded fool.
“I heard that your grandfather protects you very well! How did you get caught?” Xiao Xiaodong asked curiously. Xiao Xiaofan was treated as an outcast by the sect but Chen Xu’s background was so powerful that no one would dare to treat him like an outcast. His grandfather loved him so much, so how could he possibly put his life at risk?
“I trusted the words of others, so I ended up like this. I have no one but myself to blame,” Chen Xu said somewhat gloomily.
Xiao Xiaofan tilted his head and said curiously, “Whose words did you gullibly trust?”
Chen Xu gritted his teeth and did not speak.
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Xiao Xiaofan glittering eyes and said, “Okay, stop asking him.”
Xiao Xiaofan spoke somewhat demoralized. “But, I’m curious!”
Xiao Xiaodong, “…”
“It was my fiancé. He asked me out but as a result, he didn’t show up as promised, and I got caught.” Chen Xu hesitated for a moment and bit his lip.
“You don’t look old enough to have a fiancé. You fell in love early!” Xiao Xiaofan said with amazement.
Chen Xu couldn’t help blushing.
Xiao Xiaodong glanced towards Lei Xuan and thought: Xiaofan is an idiot, he was still so young but he was already targeted.
“Is your fiancé Qiao Xiang?” Lei Xuan asked.
Chen Xu nodded with a little embarrassment on his face.
Xiao Xiaofan looked at Lei Xuan and asked, “Who is Qiao Xiang?”
“An elite disciple of the Peerless Sect, a genius with a single spiritual root,” Lei Xuan said.
Behind Qiao Xiang, there was also an old monster at the Nascent Soul realm. Speaking of which, Chen Xu and Qiao Xiang’s engagement was considered a match but the only troublesome thing was that Qiao Xiang was single spiritual root and Chen Xu was just three spiritual roots. The difference between their talents was too great.
Chen Lifeng was a casual cultivator and it was very difficult to reach Nascent Soul realm for casual cultivators. Generally, the old monsters who could reach Nascent Soul as casual cultivators had a higher fighting power than those Nascent Soul cultivators from the sect. They were also braver and more ruthless.
Peerless Sect wanted to bring Chen Xu and Qiao Xiang together in order to win over Chen Lifeng, but… Chen Xu actually ended up here.
“You were stood up by Qiao Xian. Does your grandfather know?” Xiao Xiaodong looked at Chen Xu and asked.
Chen Xu shook his head and said, “He doesn’t know.”
Chen Xu clenched his teeth. Now he has a vague understanding that this matter should have been calculated by Qiao Xiang.
After their engagement was settled, he could not help but look forward to this fiancé of his, so he agreed to his fiancé’s invitation and sneaked out. He kept this whole thing from his grandfather.
“Do you want to eat the fruit?” Xiao Xiaofan took out a spirit fruit and asked.
“Is that ok?” Chen Xu asked.
Xiao Xiaofan looked towards Xiao Xiaodong, who glanced at Xiao Xiaofan and said, “Give it to him. Eat it quickly and don’t let other people see it.”
Chen Xu did not care to ask Xiao Xiaofan where the spirit fruit came from, and ate it in big bites.
…………
Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan returned to the cave and when Xiao Xiaofan saw the two of them, he was a little excited.
“Why is there an extra kid?! Where did you pick him up from?” Xiao Jingting said.
Xiao Xiaofan said, “He was picked up by my brother. Lei Xuan said that this guy has a grandfather at the Nascent Soul realm. Maybe we can rely on him in the future.”
Xiao Jingting was shocked. This was the second-generation cultivator! This unlucky second generation actually got into this place. But even if he was second generation, so what? When he had a bad luck, he still had to work in the mine.
“Father, how is the situation outside now?” Xiao Xiaodong asked.
Xiao Jingting rubbed his nose and said, “There are top quality spirit stones out there. Several cultivators at Golden Stage fought over those spirit stones. This battle is really earth shattering!” Xiao Jingting spoke with a sigh of relief.
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Xiao Jingting’s complacent look and vaguely felt that his father might have taken advantage of the scuffle.
“Are there any Golden Core cultivators from other powers appearing?” Lei Xuan asked.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes!”
Xiao Jingting spoke with some embarrassment, “You guys, be careful. After such a big incident with the Devil Blood Sect, it might not be long before they check the miners.”
However, this was just his guess. After all, he saw the Devil’s Blood Sect and these few Golden Core cultivators fighting could not win anything. If the loss of Devil Blood Sect was very big, they should not be able to spare much energy for the time being.
Xiao Xiaofan slipped to Xiao Jingting’s side and asked, “Father, the top-grade spirit stones should be worth a lot of money, right?”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Top-grade spirit stones, of course, they are worth a lot of money.”
One medium-grade spirit stone was equal to one thousand lower-grade spirit stones, and one top-grade spirit stone was equal to one thousand medium-grade spirit stones. That’s to say, one top-grade spirit stone was equal to one million lower-grade spirit stones! It was also said that top grade spirit stones were also very useful for the Golden Core cultivators who had hit the bottleneck. No wonder those Golden Core scouts couldn’t control themselves when the top-grade spirit stones were found.
Xiao Jingting shook his head and thought: No one should be too greedy? With a warehouse full of spirit stones, he should be satisfied. If only there were top-grade spirit stones in the warehouse. It’s a pity that he didn’t have them. It was a pity.
