Chapter 216
“Father, father.” Xiao Xiaofan hopped over, followed by Xiao Xiaodong, Xiao Xiaojin and others.
Xiao Jingting looked at several people and frowned, muttering to himself that of all times that they could come, they had to come at this moment.
When Xie Wanran saw Xiao Xiaodong, he did not know if she thought of something, because her face looked a little awkward.
The little chick fluttered its wings and walked over very gracefully.
When Qiu Yun saw Xiao Xiaodong, he immediately started smiling and said, “Xiaodong is here! Here you are,” Qiu Yun said as he threw a few spirit fruits to Xiao Xiaodong.
Xiao Jingting ruffled his forehead and thought: Qiu Yun really became partial to my eldest son! Giving him snow pear fruit, this thing is not cheap!
Xiao Xiaodong took the spirit fruit and smiled contentedly.
Xiao Xiaofan looked at Xiao Xiaodong with envy, and then looked towards Qiu Yun, who ignored Xiao Xiaofan.
Xiao Jingting could not help but feel a little strange when he saw Xiao Xiaofan being left out.
Xiao Xiaofan scratched his head but he was not disappointed.
When Xie Wanran heard Xiao Xiaodong calling Xiao Jingting father, the way she looked at Xiao Jingting changed a lot.
Xiao Xiaodong who looked at Xie Wanran, become alert at the bottom of his heart.
“Mr. Steward, the Jasper Peach King is very important to me. If you are willing to give it up, I am willing to pay any price,” Xie Wanran resolutely said to Qiu Yun.
Although Xiao Jingting did not like Xie Wanran very much, hearing this, he could not help but admire Xie Wanran’s courage. Qiu Yun had already spoken about this matter but Xie Wanran was brave enough to say such a thing. But female leads were all undaunted by repeated setbacks. As the saying goes, take the bull by the horns.
Qiu Yun sneered and said, “Any price? Miss Xie, are you sure you can afford it at any price? If you really want this Jasper Peach King, then, the opening price is ten pieces of upper-grade spirit stones.”
“Steward Qiu, your price is way beyond the reasonable. Ten upper grade spirit stones are equivalent to ten million lower grade spirit stones. Miss Xie has already backed off so much, so why are you still making things difficult for us so aggressively?” Zhuge Ming said unhappily.
Xiao Jingting nodded in his heart. ‘It is indeed a bit expensive, ten upper grade spirit stones. Qiu Yun, why don’t you just rob the rich!’
“If you can’t afford it, don’t buy it! How come when you can’t afford it, it’s me who is picking on you?” Qiu Yun sneered and said.
Xiao Jingting, “…” Qiu Yun’s words were really enough to arouse hatred. However, he was the steward. People could do nothing to him.
“I don’t know, but Steward Qiu, did I do anything that offended you in any way?” Xie Wanran asked.
Qiu Yun shook his head and said “No, I just purely don’t like you from the way you look.”
Xie Wanran probably had never been treated like this, so her face flushed.
Alarm bells rang in Xiao Jingting’s heart. Qiu Yun had the attitude of a proper villain! This guy was not going to become a cannon fodder, right?
Seeing that she could not achieve anything, Xie Wanran left.
……
Xiao Jingting looked at Qiu Yun and asked, “Steward Qiu, it isn’t good to offend this woman like this!”
Qiu Yun turned around and looked at Xiao Jingting, then he said with a smile on his face “Why? Do you like her so much? You’ve only met her a few times but you speak for her so much! You must have been smitten by her.”
Xiao Jingting hurriedly waved his hand and said, “Steward Qiu, stop this wishful thinking! I am a person with a family, how could I fall in love with her? I think that although this woman is a three-spirit root, she has good means, and you may suffer losses if you fight with her like this.”
Qiu Yun looked at Xiao Jingting and sneered as he said, “You are afraid that I, a Golden Core cultivator can’t fight against a Foundation Building cultivator.”
Xiao Jingting laughed awkwardly and said, “That woman has quite a few protectors around her! There is also Golden Core cultivators among those pursuers!”
Qiu Yun looked at Xiao Jingting with complicated gaze.
Looking at Qiu Yun’s expression, Xiao Jingting rubbed his hands awkwardly and said, “Steward Qiu, I didn’t mean to underestimate you.”
Qiu Yun nodded and said, “You are right, I am indeed not her opponent. If someone reminded me of this a few years ago, I wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.”
Xiao Jingting, “…”
“Go ahead and plant these spirit-eating flowers in the peach forest.” Qiu Yun said.
Xiao Jingting frowned and said, “Is that ok?”
Qiu Yun smiled and said, “Prevention is better than cure. Who knows if there will be thief coming? If that Jasper Peach King is stolen, I will lose a lot.”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Okay.”
…………
Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jingting and said, “You’re back. Why are you so late?! Xiaofan and others came a long time ago.”
Xiao Jingting helplessly said, “I was dragged to work overtime, so I am a little late.”
Xu Muan narrowed his eyes and said, “Steward Qiu and this Miss Xie seemed to have a deep grudge.”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Of course, it isn’t the best when emperors are fighting if they harm the innocent!”
Xiao Xiaodong sat on one side, nibbling on spirit fruits while Xiao Xiaofan looked at him enviously. “Brother, is it tasty?”
Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “Delicious.”
Xiao Xiaofan swallowed his saliva and said, “Steward Qiu likes you a lot.”
Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “Maybe!”
“Steward Qiu does not look very approachable, but it turns out that such an unapproachable person likes you very much, brother. Brother, you are very popular,” Xiao Xiaofan said with some envy.
Xiao Xiaodong smiled and said, “Maybe.” Steward Qiu didn’t like him as much as he liked his chicken.
Xiao Xiaojin virtuously bought food for several people, and the little chick was full of excitement as it ate the grey-feathered swallow cooked by Xiao Xiaojin and while eating, it also let out some mist.
